Stayed at Palazzo Niccolini in Sept for 4 nights. Room was just okay-very noisy. Room was by front door which banged shut from 7:30am to 10:00 pm and suitcases rolled on bare tile/brick floors. Reception noise echoed. Walls in sitting/breakfast room were dirty. Superior room was anything but. Very poor for price paid compared to other hotels. Would not stay... more

We stayed a week in this hotel and truly enjoyed the location, staff and the beautiful room. The staff helped us in planning our exploration of Florence. They arranged tours with guides that were passionate and knowledgable. We would definitely stay again in this hotel. The hotel was very quiet and the marble bathroom was immaculate. A grand experience. Even... more

You will not regret staying at the Palazzo. It was our most enjoyable stay out of all the 6 hotels during our trip to Italy. Rooms were just magnificent and almost too large? Beautifully furnished with rich fabrics and light antiques. Staff were helpful, considerate and very efficient. The location just behind the Duomo and right smack in the middle... more

I have stayed in some very beautiful, small hotels including Hotel 717 in Amsterdam and The Willows in Palm Springs, but this place is quite extraordinary. We stayed in the Empire Suite which was enormous with one of the most functional, yet gorgeous bathrooms I have ever seen. The palazzo is literally a footstep away from the Duomo, yet it... more

Rather pricey but worth it! A restored palazzo, just behind (30 meters) the Duomo, that has been in the Niccolini family since the 1800s, but dates back much further. Donatello had his studio here. One floor has been turned into a 10-room hotel and magnificently redone. Our room had frescoed walls and ceiling dating to the 1700s. Staff was fantastic... more

This hotel was just FAB FAB FAB. My sister and I stayed here on the 14th of November for 3 nights in the Dome suite, it truly was a fantastic experience. The sitting room was very large indeed, and the bedroom was a fair size too. Well this really was a room with a view, as you'll see from my... more

My husband and i came to florence for an early anniversary trip. this hotel was great! we stayed in room #1- the fresco room and it was beautiful. it was huge and the bathroom was much bigger than i was expecting. It is basically at the foot of the duomo and a great "home base". it feels more like a... more

First the good part: Location was fantastic. Our windows literally looked directly at the Duomo. We walked to almost all the major sights on our list. Beautiful decor and appointments throughout. Our room very contemporary, the salon-breakfast room traditional. Buffet breakfast well stocked with coffee, tea, chocolate, pastries, breads, cheeses, yogurt, juices. Extra charge for eggs, etc. with which we... more
