“Lived up to expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

My opinions on Golden Tower are summed up very well by the fact that on check in day I arrived at 4 and didn't notice the time fly, while I enjoyed the room and Spa, till gone 7pm.

Room - large, clean and spacious. The service is impecable. We had been in the room just an hour when a pack of biscuits were delivered with compliments. When we returned to dinner we found the room had been tidied, the beds turned down (more biscuits) and our towels replaces with fresh dry ones!

Reception - friendly, impeccable English and happy to help.

Breakfast - possibly the first time I have liked a hotel breakfast.

Spa - clean, not too busy and included in the room price. So relaxing to pop down for a steam room or sauna after a long day sight seeing!

Location - excellent. Just a 10m walk from Firenze SMN train station and minutes from all the major sights and shopping.

Would definitely come back!

“Excellent hotel in the heart of Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

A well-appointed, clean and comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff, a delightful spa and an unbeatable central location. What more could anyone want? My only very minor complaint was that the room service menu was quite limited and the food arrived lukewarm, although it was quite good and the servers were very sweet and helpful. I'll definitely be revisiting this hotel with my family next time.

“AMAZING!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013 via mobile

This is by far the BEST hotel i have stayed in the staff are so friendly and helpfull, they give great suggestions for restaurants ! We are on our honeymoon and they suprised us with a bottle of champagne which was beautiful !
The rooms is fantastic very spacious and clean, bathrooms are new and clean ! They come into your room and draw your blinds and get your bed ready with biscotti and a card with a lullaby which i think is soooooo cute and nice! The buffet breakie is great huge varity of food!
The spa is so nice and you can get any beauty needs done just at the door step which is very handy!
Could not rate this hotel enough ! Would be my first choice again !
