We spent two nights at Hotel Medici - the rooftop terrace has an awesome view. Sipping good Tucan wine with a view of the Duomo and Florence cityscape was divine.The rooms are simple but satisfactory - the shower is a slight challenge. We found the staff to be incredibly helpful. more

The hotel does a lot of what the website says it does - the pictures are real - whitewashed walls, modern bathrooms, nice furnishings etc. Our room was quite small, and we realised on checkout that they'd given us the wrong key - our friend who had booked a single room had a larger room than us! No aircon, but... more

We were welcomed at reception, which is on the 5th Floor, and given the key to our room. Our room, number 26, was on the 6th floor and was in darkness when we entered. When we opened the french doors and shutters to the roof terrace the view was spectacular. You could almost touch the Duomo. The terrace, which extended... more

Positives: Fantastic views, friendly front desk, central location. Negatives: Extremely hot rooms (NO air conditioning), horrible breakfast, rude cleaning women, old furniture, very NOISY, and dirty as well. About 105-110 degrees or about 40 to 42 celsius and no air conditioning! Be prepared to sweat it out your entire stay, listen to the loud bells go off beginning at 7... more

We had not only a room with a view, but a bathroom with a view. . . yet, this is a basic hotel, nothing fancy, but it has a great location, a terrifically helpful staff and clean, comfortable (though not air conditioned) rooms. We were comfortable with the fan in August. It's a great value for the price. more

We found this hotel to be ok. The location to the sites was excellent, however we were on the back side and the noise was awful. Street cleaners and deliveries and garbage pickup all hours of the night. The Doumo(church next door) starts to ring its bells at 7:00am. We found the hotel to be clean and staff to be... more

This hotel was one block from the duomo and had a beautiful rooftop garden. It was close to markets, shops, cafes and restaurants. It had a lift but no TV.The room was large but the bathroom was terrible. It was tiny and the shower had no shower curtain so everything got wet. You had to be careful not to slip... more

I was traveling with my mum and we'd stayed in Paris, Nice, Milan and Venice with no problems, until we arrived at Hotel Medici in Florence - which was the most expensive place we stayed - and by far the worst. In terms of location this place is fantastic - right in the heart of the city and close to... more

This is a small hotel, cozy, friendly staff, good breakfast, clean rooms. The most amazing thing about it is the view. I personally need only few amenities and when i go to a place like Florence, with all its history, gorgeous architecture, wonderful people, the last thing i care about is a gym or a business center. I got a... more
