Just returned from 5 nights booked through a well known special offer organisation. Initially in very basic , strongly smelling of smoke, not up to expectation, room. Wrote to organisation and being fair they acted immediately and we were upgraded to a room nearer our expectation. Hotel is well positioned , 5 min walk to San Marco piazza and literally... More

Hotel was central for all tourist attractions friendly staff and a nice room. TV basic only C N English channel. Breakfast good and plenty of it. Would stay there again if visiting Florence again. Parking available at hotel expensive but on par with other hotels .

It is what it is - very much a basic, no frills business hotel. Service fine, rooms clean and comfortable enough but no character at all. Breakfast functional. 20 minutes walk to the railway station, 10 to the Duomo, but if you want a sense of the magic and romance of Florence then don't stay here. If you just need... More

This hotel was dirty! The lobby is misleading. Our room was dirty - dead bugs on the walls, black mold in the shower, hair in the bathroom. The shower was broken so it was for someone under 5ft tall. Wifi did not work in our room. When we complained to the front desk the response we received was "there's nothing... More

The Athenaeum Hotel hit all the marks for our recent trip to Florence. The price was right, the location was ideal (close to the Florence train station, and about a 10 minute walk from the Duomo) and the rooms clean and comfortable. For our first time in Florence it was perfect. They serve an ample breakfast with fruit juices, pastries,... More

We booked 3 nights here as a sudden last-minute trip and we were very happy with our choice. This hotel is ideal - clean and comfortable, with good reception staff and a decent, speedy breakfast. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the bathroom, though quite small, was absolutely fine. On a visit where most time is spent out and about,... More

Hotel was well appointed and very nice. The location is somewhat out of the main area but its still close enough to walk into town. The room was comfortable and the facilities are well kept. The room has a refrigerator which is helpful as well as internet within the rooms. The front staff was pleasant and helpful. Our room was... More

The hotel is comfortable, contemporary and stylish and the staff are very polite, helpful and efficient and speak good English. Our room was stylish, comfortable and clean with a lovely bathroom. The bed was very nice and we slept really well – we couldn’t hear any noise from anywhere. Breakfast was very good too – lots of fruit, yoghurt, cereal,... More

stayed here for work - so - it met my expectations for a business hotel. (my conference happened to be in the basement room, so double-easy. breakfast was fine. the restaurant wasn't open when i was there, and i didn't find any really good restaurants within immediate walking distance (though there are many in florence). but it's an easy run...
