Although we were looking forward to staying here after seeing the hotel's website, our room did not look anything like what we saw online! We were traveling with a group of about 50 people and the variability in rooms was tremendous, with ours being towards the bottom of the bunch. I would describe it as "cold, sparse dorm room" (as...

Our group of 55 singers stayed at the Ricasoli in the "old" part of the hotel....15th century palace converted to hotel rooms. The rooms for our group were wildly different. Our initial room was like a huge 2 story apartment. That may sound good, but it wasn't. To get to the bedroom and bath, we had to climb a dangerous... More

I stayed in Residence Ricasoli for a long period which is why I came to see many cons. Accommodation was paid by a company. Based on the prices published online, it was way overpriced. However, I didn't rate it below since I did not pay myself. Definitely, a not come back hotel. It is important to realize that the hotel... More

We originally booked at another hotel in Florence that was associated with the Pallazzo Ricasoli. The original hotel was overbooked and we were moved to his hotel. At first we were upset but after getting to the Pallazzo Ricasoli the staff there was very accommodating and we had a great stay. The underground parking was easy and efficient. The rooms... More

This hotel is too far outside the historic center to be truly convenient for someone visiting the main sites of Florence. But I could have lived with the location if it weren't for the depressing quality of the rooms. We were not in the main building and the structure our rooms were in was basically a concrete bunker - the... More

I loved this place! There was a beautiful courtyard, the breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious and the room was large. WIFI was not very good, but I did not miss it because I was there to enjoy Florence. More

We stayed in this hotel as part of the tour package. The room was clean but the amenities were spartan. The wifi was not very fast and there was none in the room. You have to go down to the reception area to get a signal. The frontage is nice and well maintained. Breakfast was plentiful with good service. Location... More

We stayed here as part of a small group tour of Italy (Oct24-26). Many of the rooms were different in size but all members of our group felt they were quite spartan. Ours did have a small kitchenette area but we only used the small bar fridge. The breakfast buffet provided a good start to the day. Our sleeps were... More

Our hotel room was immaculate, but the beds were hard and the pillows not soft at all, did not sleep well here. I then discovered most of the hotels in Italy are the same. No boxsprings, only mattresses! Location was good, within walking distance of the duomo and area shopping, restaurants. I recommend this hotel and give it a very... More
