Very good location (maybe only two minutes from the SMN station), but still on a quiet street. My room faced into a courtyard, and it could be quite noisy, but I only noticed it during the daytime. I'm not sure if this was because they actually quieted down, or because I closed my window. The breakfast buffet was good, and... More

The location of the hotel is very convenient to the railway station and most of Florence's attractions. The hotel itself is in need of repair. The lift is very antiquated and a little scarey. The rooms are quite large but the decor is very old and unappealing. The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired as you have to pump... More

This is located very close to the train station but it is in a very quiet area. The location is great. The staff are friendly and very accomodating. Mirko at the front desk always helped with directions and booked reservations. My room had a balcony and the room was spacious. The beds are very firm probably too firm for me.... More

The location of the hotel is very convenient, as you are within walking distance of all the main sights of Florence. The staff were also helpful, and the rooms were clean and of good size. The breakfast at the hotel was a very good continental style breakfast. One of the drawbacks: the 'en suite' was not great, having thin walls,... More

Really enjoyed our 5 night stay - close to the station which is a real plus Helpful friendly staff and a great buffet breakfast Lucky to have a balcony room with views over Florence Would recommend this hotel - in particular its location - when you have to drag your suitcase with you !

We stayed at this hotel for 2 night. The Location is great, you can walk everywhere, the train station is just across the street. The Hotel is very modest but is comfortable, the staff is really great, we asked the guys in the reception so many questions and they always pointed us and explained to us where to go and... More

The good things: location, rate. The bad ones: bath room is terrible, the shower is a temporary one which needs to be assemble each time you take a shower. Not ideal at all. Consider your arrival to this hotel carefully.

We stayed at Hotel Desiree for 3 nights (wish we had booked for longer). The staff are amazing, friendly and extremely helpful! The room and hotel are spotlessly clean, clean towels every day, beds made etc. The breakfast room was lovely, clean, light and airy. Excellent location...literally 5 mins from train station and then 15 mins from Duomo etc. 5... More

We spent our first night in Italy at Hotel Desiree. We were exhausted, so we really just used it for a place to sleep ~ but we found the hotel to be quite charming and very centrally located. The rooms are decorated with lovely antiques, and the hallway is adorned with beautiful paintings of Florence and Tuscany. I loved the... More
