“Great service, staff and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Pros: Service, staff, breakfast, value and location
Cons: Showerhead is weak; hard beds

Hotel Perseo is wonderful. The staff is so very helpful. They booked our reservations to Uffizi and Accademia at the dates we wanted; provided fantastic restaurant recommendations (where few tourists go to and at a decent price); made food recommendations when asked; and helped us get tickets to a Fiorentina soccer game.

The breakfasts are also very much needed (and we missed them on later parts of the trip) because they provide you with a good base to start your days in Firenze! The rooms are quite spacious as well with a BBC and free but at times spotty WIFI.

Two minor complaints: I found the beds rather hard and the water pressure for the shower a little weak. The latter may have more to do with Florence than the hotel.

Highly recommended and great value.

“Very good experience - will return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Travelling around Italy I stayed in 3-4 hotels all at a similar price point. This one was definitely the nicest - spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, reliable wi-fi. By no means a luxury hotel, but very pleasant indeed and excellent value for money. Location was very good - close the Duomo, local shops, rail station and nice restuarants. The staff were very helpful - gave patient and thoughtful advice where to eat etc, and when the elevator broke down were very good about carrying my luggage up and down stairs. I will happily stay here again next time I am in Florence.

“More Than Excellent !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

I stayed with my wife at Hotel Perseo in July 2012 and everything was perfect. We really enjoyed the location as it was Close to all of the sites we planned to see (Duomo, Accademia, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio), Florence is really very beautiful. Our room was large, clean with excellent spring mattress, Bathroom also large with excellent shower. Breakfast was very delicious with lots to choose from. The hotel staff was very kind and provided us a lot of useful info.No Complaint !

“Excellent! I'll definitely stay here again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012

As mentioned in other reviews, Hotel Perseo is perfectly placed for sightseeing - very close to the duomo, central market and everything is within <10 min walking distance.

Room was basic with good air-conditioning (not that we made much use of it), spotlessly clean, free wifi (a huge plus+) and quiet & peaceful despite being located along the main street. Staff were very friendly & helpful, and was definitely a highlight to our 3N stay.

Oh, and you have to visit the cafe bar just beside the hotel. Absolutely a delight!
