This is a difficult review to write. The location of the hotel is wonderful. Very convenient, yet quiet at night. Our suite was huge...including the bathroom (although the shower was just in the middle of the floor with no surround, so the bathroom floor was slippery), and well air conditioned. The breakfast wasn't great...rolls (the bread in Tuscany is their... more

I can't wait to get back to Firenze and stay at the Torre Guelfa. It is a true gem. Unbelievable central location. You can walk everywhere in the city from here. The staff is the greatest in this wonderful historic building. There is a rooftop happy hour with wine and beer where you will get some of the best pictures... more

We stayed at this hotel as part of a tour group, and as with most things in life, it is dependent upon one's expectations. I would say this is probably closer to a 2.5 star hotel, rather than a 3 star hotel, and while we liked it just fine, we would not opt to stay here again on our own... more

Hotel Alessandra which is located across the street from hotel Torre Guelfa was booked and so my husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. What a upgrade. Not only was it less expensive but this hotel has more charm. Our room was huge with vulted ceilings and our bathroom was even bigger. For breakfast we sat in a indoor... more

I have stayed at Hotel Torre Guelfa in 1995, 1996 and again in September, 2008, and the wonderful experience remains the same. Location: It is built in a 14th(?) century Palazzo right in the heart of Florence. It is 2 blocks from the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi (my wife took a bathroom break to the hotel while we were... more

My wife and children were in Italy for three weeks, from July through early August. The hotels we stayed in during our trip ranged from decent to surprisingly nice EXCEPT for the Torre Guelfa. It is not that the hotel did not seem quaint when we first walked into the "tower" where the hotel was located, but it was after... more

The Hotel Torre Guelfa was in a perfect location for first time visitors to Florence and for those who had visited before. Easy to see the important sights and sites from this ideal location and the price was reasonable. The rooms were large and had simple but comfortable furnishings. The breakfast was more than adequate. The staff was efficient and... more

Great experience. Fabulous location..just 2 blocks from the Ponte Vecchio and 4 from the uffize. Wonderful desk help...especially the gray haired afternoon gentleman. Yu could not do beter if you truly want an Italian style hotel and not a Westin. Gong to the tower is a must. more

Overall the hotel was okay... just okay. Our breakfast was decent. We booked our room at the last minute and the hotel concierge told us that there was an apartment available owned by the hotel just across the street. We were led into some dark, desolate building next to some offices. The hot water wasn't working for some reason and... more
