This hotel claims to be a four star hotel, but is sorely lacking in amenities and service. The 2 gentlemen working at the front desk were extremely rude and condescending. Rooms were extremely small and the bathroom smelled of sewage, which permeated the entire room if we did not keep the door to the bathroom shut. The room was mostly... More

Great hotel, great staff and great location! I would stay there again if I went to Florance. More

We booked this through lastminute.com as a 'secret hotel'. The price was very reasonable, it is literally around the corner from the Galleria dell'Accademia. It's about a 15 minute brisk walk downtown. It reminded us of a business hotel. Clean rooms, nice breakfast, friendly staff. Would have liked something with more character, but that is personal preference. No complaints. A... More

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, clean. Only part lacking is english TV channels, would have been nice to relax watching a movie after a hard day of sight-seeing. More

A few blocks from the city... More

Add another 5-10 to Santa Maria Novella if you're going on to the train station. It is pretty easy to find and the staff for the most... More

The Hotel Athenaeum was a great place to stay when we were in Florence. When researching the hotel, I was a little worried about some of the negative reviews I had read. Luckily, those reviews were all wrong. The hotel seems to have been remodeled recently and is very has a very nice and modern interior. Our double room was... More
