Calzaiuoli Hotel - Florencia

Some of the hotel staff was VERY UNFRIENDLY!!! Some were ery helpful and took the time to get us train schedules...the breakfast was not that great if you are American, it is not the same kind of food..Bed was comfortable for American Standards and had a good shower..WIFI was soooooo expensive..do not plan to use your computer

If you would like a great hotel that is close to everything in walking distance..this is a great hotel. Nice big room and a nice hot shower after a hot day tooling around Florence or Tuscany. The staff is very friendly and speaks English for those of us not so fluent in Italian.

Excellent location between the Duomo and the Uffitzi and just a block from the Plazza de Republica. Located on a main street filled with tourists, the hotel remains quite. The staff are friendly and offer great recommendations when asked.

This hotel was as good as any I've stayed at in my travels. Everything was top flight. The only drawback was that the internet connection was very weak wifi in our room. So, we had to spend our time exploring Florence, not a bad thing. Most importantly, the next time I visit Florence, this will be my #1 choice. The staff at the front desk were especially helpful.

The location was right in the center of everything. Staff was very helpful. Just would like the price to be a bit lower or provide free parking for hotel guests.

The Calzaiuoli Hotel is in a GREAT location, an easy walk to the Duomo, museums and shopping. We stayed there June 28 - July 1, 2009. Definitely take advantage of the breakfast: yogurt, granola, cereal, jams, breads, toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, fruit, teas and delicious coffees individually made according to your specifications --- great. The room was a nice size, the bed was comfortable, nice sheets, air conditioning worked well, the bathroom was modern and pristine. The restaurants suggested by the staff were our least favorites so you'll do better getting that info off the web, our two faves were Quarttro Leoni (get their famous asparagus and ham pasta dish)and Il Latini (go for the steak for two for the main course) and for lunch or a snack definitely walk right around the corner from the Calzaiuoli Hotel (left out the door, first left and then about 20 paces on the left) to I Fratellini, 2.50 Euros gets you a great sandwich, we liked the tuna best, swung by again before heading to the airport and ate them on the plane - yum!

The hotel was very nice/clean; great service; comfortable air conditioned room - BUT the street noise at night (especially on Saturday night - until 3:00 or 4:00 am) made it tough to get a good night's sleep.

Location, location, location!!! My only complaint is that our room was across from the kitchen so we heard pot/pans and conversation begin at 6am. We did have a window onto the street which was fabulous. If I ever go back to Florence I would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at The Calzaiuoli Hotel. The breakfast was nice and the breakfast room was great. The staff were very accommodating and responsive to your needs. Although the maids could do a more thorough cleaning of the hotel rooms but other than that, it is a fine hotel with wonderful amenities like slippers!

This is a very good hotel and I would recommend it. The staff were friendly and efficient, the room was very clean and comfortable and the location is ideal. The only down side to our stay was that we were in room 102 on the first floor which is next to the breakfast kitchen and the staff, coming on duty very early in the morning made little or no attempt to work quietly.

Clean hotel but not much else. In perfect location on the walking street bet duomo and the piazza. No parking!!! We had to pay e30/day to park

I will agree with other reviewers that you can hear a fair amount of noise from the street in your room, but it is a busy urban area in the heart of old Florence, close to everything you could want to see. It is only at most a ten to fifteen minute walk to anything in the old city and frequently less. Furthermore, between the shutters which not only block sound, but light, and the hum of the air conditioner, the sound is pretty much blocked out. The room was lovely and spacious, and while the lighting and the hair dryer in the bathroom could be better, the view from our room was stunning, the coffee was great and they made outstanding bacon. Every member of the staff was helpful and gracious and when we called frustrated because we couldn't figure out how to drive to the hotel, it seemed every way there was blocked by a pedestrian only thoroughfare, they sent a driver to us who brought us in without incurring a ticket for driving on a pedestrian only street. There are tons of great restaurants and plenty of shopping just outside the door.

The location was awesome, and the staff was great. When we asked a question the front desk staff couldn't answer they sent someone down the block to ask somebody else who would know. Our hotel room was small but nice. The only negative was that our only window opened to a stucco wall 3 feet away.

This is a lovely hotel; welcoming, attractively decorated, with luxurious accommodation and a perfect location for exploring Florence city centre. Pleasant staff serve what is definitely the best breakfast we've had anywhere in Italy - we'll certainly be back.

Instructions to operate safe need to be visible. Had a problem with bidet plug reportrd but no response to problem. Overall a very good hotel in excellent location

Lobby was small and low key but the floors above were lovely and the our room was comfortable and large for Europe. Staff was very helpful and spoke several languages. However our room was next to the room where breakfast was prepared and it was noisy. Breakfast was OK but nothing exceptional.

Hotel was great! Huge room and perfect location. The elevator broke during our stay but that was the only downside.

Great location, comfortable room, nice staff

This is the ideal location for a visit to central Florence. However be prepared for a lot of street noise. It was warm outside, the A/C had not yet been turned on and it was pleasant to have the windows open - if you had earplugs!

Great room, service, breakfast, location

The location of the hotel is ideal. It is located just a short walk to the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and many of the attractions of Florence. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is very comfortable and right on a major shopping street. The hotel also helped us to find and book a one day tour of Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa through a tour operator, Best of Tuscany. We were very happy with our stay here.

Beautiful Beautiful Hotel. Perfect location, wonderful elegant breakfast and the most comfortable bed and fluffy bedding we had in Italy. We loved it very much.

This hotel has an enviable location--just minutes from the train station and just a short walk to all the museums and near to destinations just across the Arno. The breakfast was a lovely combination of European and/or American tastes. There are many nearby restaurants and one can stroll about early to late in the day.

This is the best hotel in Florence for the money! The location is unbelievable -right down the street from the Ufizzi, Duomo and Acadamia Museum - short walk to Ponti Vecchio, train station,restaurants -eveything you need within a 5-10 minute walk. and the best shopping in Florence! For those who love to people watch from the window of their suite, comfortable beds, great bathroom and room size (by European Standards),quick nice breakfast included - the staff is excellent- it rained the entire 3 days we were there (very romantic) - we needed to depart for our cruise (Rome) during the Florence Marathon ( the course was right in front of our hotel and the streets were blocked off) they managed to get us a cab and manouvered us and all our luggage through the manathon course - all with a smile! I can't rave enough about this hotel!!!

Very pleasant hotel with great location. Small room but nicely done. There is a bit of noise from the street that dies down at night. We were happy with this choice.

The hotel was situated right in the heart of Florence, about 200 yards from the Duomo. Lovely hotel, very clean and quiet for saying we were so central (the street the hotel is on is in the pedestrianised area so no traffic) Have Breakfast - reccomended!

Wonderful location. Very friendly, helpful staff. Room size quite adequate for Europe.

The hotel is wonderfully located to everything, historical sights, restaurants etc. Very nice breakfast (included). Room and bathroom were a little small, but well kept. The hotel staff spoke English and were very helpful. I would stay there again.

Calzaiuoli Hotel is probably the best located hotel in Florence. All of the major sites are only a short walk away and it is surrounded by the city's best shopping. The neighborhood is great but active until the early morning so light sleepers my have difficulty. The room was small but clean and nicely decorated. All round, a great experience.

perfect location almost directly between the ponte vecchio and the the duomo , about two football fields in either direction. also a very nice hotle and great staff. we hired a car and driver from tuscan sunshine tours , excellent. our drive stefan was fantastic, we did siena, san gaimagnino, a samll town called maggione and did a wine tasteing in a single day worth every penny, made our trip

This hotel couldn't be better located, but make sure your room is in the back or you'll never get any sleep. Ventilation was a problem. The room simply didn't smell good unless we kept our window opened. However, I would stay here again. Reasonably priced and helpful staff. Good breakfast, too. And surprise - a reasonably priced mini-bar!

Great location; outstanding value.The staff was friendly, food was good and the a/c worked. This is located next door to the Duomo and centrally located to great shopping especially for leather goods-some almost next door. I would definetly stay here again Only caution is make sure you have your written confirmation of booking.Luckily we had our reservation number but the hotel couldn't find it.However we were able to use their phone to contact hotels.com who assisted us and everything worked out

The hotel is right in the middle of the action, yet very family friendly and quiet. it is on a major pedestrian street and most attractions are within a short walk. The rooms were nice and well appointed. The only downside was the smallish bathroom, but that's hardly a concern for most people.

The Hotel is located on one of the main central streets. There is shopping , restaurants, Uffizi and Duomo. The train station is a 15 minute walk away. The rooms are very nice, marble in the baths and the breakfast is huge.

very clean, great location, friendly staff, nice b-fast, great value

Enjoyed the overall experience, the downside to the great location is the excessive street noise as it is located on a busy street. This may bother you if you like to sleep with the windows open.

We stayed here after spending several days in the Tuscan countryside at luxuty inns (la Suvera and Castello Banfi il borgo). I was concerned if we would like it and we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very clean, the service was EXCELLENT, the room was an average size room for a hotel in Florence--ours even had a couch--the bathroom was quite small, but that is to be expected. You really can't beat the location for convenience. Overall, we were very pleased and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

the rooms were great, service and personnel great. location is the best in town. only problem, which was swiftly attended to when complaint was made, is we were placed in room 102 which is next to kitchen. you better be ready to rise at 6 am if this is your room. complaint was made and i was re assigned to room 209 which was great.

This hotel is located a couple of minutes from the Duomo. You can get to the Plazza della Republica, the Plazza de la Signoria, and the Uffizi in less that 5 minutes on foot. It might take 10 minutes to reach the Ponte Vecchio. The abundant breakfast (included in the price)is excellent. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, rolls, fruit, yogurt, etc. are there for you. The staff is very helpful. The only slightly negative aspect was the noise from the street. If we kept our window closed, it was very quiet, yet warm. If we opened the window, it was very noisy into the wee hours of the morning.

This hotel is clean and comfortable and serves a good breakfast. It's location is very good, as all major interests are a short walk away.

Great Location! Clean, Clean, Clean! Great Staff! Great Room! Best hotel I have ever stayed in in Italy!!

Not only was this the cheapest rate out of all our hotels in Italy, but it was the best one! We were very pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, spacious and had tasteful decor. It was at the heart of Florence on a main, clean street filled with stores and gelaterias - a two-minute walk to the Duomo. Yet it was still quiet enough to get a good nite's sleep. Everything is walkable around that area. They had the nicest and most helpful hotel staff, as well. The only downside was the small bathroom but at least it was clean and modern.

Great location, between the Duomo and Uffizi, walkable to all cafes, shops, train. Very clean room and very posh setting.

Wonderful hotel, especially for the price. Well located, if a bit noisey at night. Luxious linens, very nice but small bathroom. Staff extremely helpful. Would definately return and recommend this gem of a hotel in Florence.

Hotel was great. Clean lobby and very helpfull desk staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Located within 100 feet of Roma Termini train station!
