“A great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Hotel David is a great place to stay. The owners travel themselves and understand what you actually need and want. We stayed for five days in a beautiful spacious room with a balcony and views. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, and there were refreshments available when you wanted them at minimal cost plus free happy hour and 1x mini bar free. We were grateful for the excellent laundry facilities. We would definitely stay here again.

Dear Guest,
You make our job very enjoyable and it's true we travel ourself and try to imagine what we would wish to find available at the hotel when we arrive and what it is a must to have!
As soon as you decide to come back we will be here with new services available!
My best,

“Superba!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

What can I say?

The Hotel David's best asset (of many!) is the staff - professional, expert, friendly and welcoming, with excellent English. We arrived on Christmas Day - everything closed in Florence - but the hotel was open and ready for us.

Our room was spacious and in immaculate condition - everything in working order.

This hotel ticks all the boxes ...

* free parking (a rarity in Florence)
* fast reliable Wifi
* self laundry (wonderful when travelling for weeks in Europe)
* tasty breakfast
* good shower (pressure and consistent temperature)
* thick fluffy towels
* room safe (great for valuables when exploring Florence)
* huge king-size bed
* good restaurants nearby
* taxi stand outside
* bus stop nearby
* nightly 'happy hour' - generous nibbles and wine
* free phone call home (much appreciated at Christmas)
* help with maps, directions, postage, bus tickets sold at reception
* double glazing (quiet) and electronic shutters

I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else next time I come to Florence and my only worry in writing this review is that it might make it less likely to be able to book again!!

Room Tip: For a triple room (huge king) and single we found Room #2 very suitable

The hotel is Simply perfect. The staff are most friendly and welcoming, and very helpful. The rooms are spacious, warm, clean and neat, and with wifi throughout. Top that up with a superb breakfast and it truly is the best. Will come back!

“one of the best”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

This Hotel David is a gem in Tuscany's crown. Brilliantly friendly staff. Great building with charm and character. Our room was personally presented and prepared for our arrival with a cake and free fully stocked mini bar. You can even ring your home country for free. So happy here we extended our stay another 3 days. Free breakfast was a great way to start the day. Huge room. Free wifi. Love this hotel.

“Excellent in every respect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

I have stayed at many hotels and Hotel David was very good value for money. The hotel was scrupulously clean with nice décor.
It ticks all the boxes -nice bedrooms, good cooked breakfast, fast free WiFi, happy hour, free parking, walking distance to city centre and very helpful friendly staff. I will recommend it to our friends.
