Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in April - great location, friendly staff especially Marco and Caroline! Room was clean and bathroom was spacious. Only some noise from the tavern below at night. Walking distance to everywhere!

Dear guest, thank you for using a little of your free time to write an hotel's review. I'm glad that you liked your stay here in Florence, and Marco and Carolina too.

We had a great week in Florence and our stay at this hotel (6 nights) made the experience all the more enjoyable. Perfect location - just a few steps from Piazza Santa Maria Novella, and a lazy 5-minute walk from the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria. The hotel was extremely clean, the room was delicately scented which gave it a... More

The hotel is on the 5th floor but there is a teeny elevator (2 people or 1 with bags) that is new and safe.The hotel room was clean and smelled really fresh (many... More

Dear Ms. Kayla, Thank you very much for your good review about our hotel. We’re very glad to know that you really enjoyed your stay here. I understand that not everybody can find our beds comfortable at all, some people prefer them harder and other people softer, we try to compensate it providing additional pillows and blankets. Reading what you’ve... More

The hotel reception is on the 3rd floor. It is a long way up without an elevator. The room was perfectly clean and the shower was nice. I had a view of the street below and the bed was comfortable. The reception staff was friendly. credit cards accepted. For the price this cant be beat. Florence is beautiful a must... More

Highly recommend this hotel for the fantastic location and friendly service. Really great value, especially considering the size of the rooms, private bathrooms and cleanliness. Florence is a fairly compact city but this hotel makes getting around very easy; staff are helpful and able to answer all questions. Whilst the hotel does not have a restaurant service there are plenty... More

We chose this hotel because it's about a 10 minute walk from Florence's main train station. Florence is fairly compact so the rest of the sights were an easy walk from Hotel Sole as well. Check in was easy and the host was nice, helpful and not overly chatty. The hotel turned out to be clean and a fair size.... More
