We originally wanted to stay at the Hotel Brunelleschi in Florence but when booking online we saw a great deal for their sister property, Palazzo Ruspoli. We paid 184 euros for 2 nights. The location was awesome. It was just a few hundred metres from the Duomo on the main street. It was a bit noisy because the street was... more

All I can think is there must be some good rooms and some horrible based on the polar reviews. We must have gotten a horrible one. First, we got there at 11:30 am and lugged our bags from the train station and we were eager to drop them off and start exploring Florence but when we got there there was... more

I had a lovley experience at this hotel. The location is excellent and the room I was given was HUGE. I awoke to beautiful views of the Duomo and the Medici Chapel. I spent 5 nights in this room and enjoyed every minute. I don't ask much from hotel staff- i was traveling alone, so I was only there to... more

Stayed for the weekend in this charming hotel. I chose this hotel because it looked charming, centrally located at the same time easy to get to from the ring road. You can park your car for a few minutes in front of the hotel when you arrive and check in. Then they will call the garage to pick it up.... more

The entrance is through the ground floor of an office building that smells very bad. You should take the elevator to go to the third floor, where is really the entrance of this small hotel.

The Palazzo Ruspoli is, as mentioned in the other reviews, the top two floors of a commercial building with a medical clinic and offices. Its best and worst feature was its location. For the best part, you can walk anywhere in Florence in a half hour, and it's a half block to the Duomo. However, since traffic is routed around... more

Dirty dirty dirty, no pillows and stains of I-don't - want to know what it was- really--Horrible. Disgusting. What else can I add. Don't go here. DON''T. the internet site was so different it looked lovely- worst hotel I've ever been in my whole life more

Stayed 3 nights at this hotel in October 05. We booked the accommodation direct with the hotel and were given a superior room for the price of a standard. We had requested a room at the back of the hotel (as previous reviews advised) but this could not be guaranteed and we ended up with one at the front of... more

In September 2004 I booked a trip to Florence for myself and my 11 year old niece. I found a great package which was ridiculously affordable and was given a choice of hotels. While the Palazzo Ruspoli was not rated as highly as a few of the other hotels offered, I was amazed at the photos of the rooms on... more
