Hotell i Florens

Good value for money. Location is excellent - just a short walk from both the train station and the centre. Also very near the Academia. Staff were extremely helpful - happy to answer all our questions. Rooms and bathrooms were clean.

Every time we passed the front desk, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for all of Florence. Large, fluffy bath towels!

We enjoyed staying at the bed and Breakfast because we had 3 families together and all our rooms were together. They even added an extra bed with no extra charge. It was sweet, quiet and friendly service. Only downfall was that it was not downtown Florence and parking was a mess so we paid alot for a taxi.Well worth it, though. We rented a mini bus for 10 members of our family and is a nightmare to park in Florence or any other big city in Italy! The owners try their best to accomodate the guests. Loved the Italian restaurant they referred us to and we were able to walk to get there. Breakfast was only about $8.00 per person and was set up in a nice room below the bed and Breakfast main house. We were pleased and for only needing a room for 1 night it was perfect for us!! Nice Tuscan decorations and family owned!

Une petite chambre, mais bien agencée et juste en face du Duomo On peut tout faire à pied Tout en étant au calme

Can not ask for a better location. The hotel is within walking distance to all sites, and also very close to bus and train station. The room is clean and staff very helpful.

The hotel was hard to find (as is common in this area), but the location was great. It is in the heart of the city. Everything is in short walking distance of the hotel. It's a bit dated, but the view from the roof top restauant is spectacular and almost worth the stay by itself. The rooms are small in comparison to American Hotels, but it was adequate. We were lucky to have suites at all of our other hotels in Italy, so this one did seem small, but by european standards it is normal in size.

Just an overnight stay but enough time to experience the quality & magical ambiance that this majestic hotel exudes. The service and help from the front desk was equally impressive. From its historical aspect this hotel was what you imagined the great hotels in history would be like. From it's solid feel, ornate ceilings & walls and great noise suppression in the rooms, to it's perfect location within the old part of Florence and quite good value, this hotel was a total joy to stay in. The only disappointing note is learning that the hotel is due for a major modernisation/refurbishment which might mean the loss of its wonderful historic feel.

The staff was so accommodating. The location was perfect. Breakfast was very decent. I would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff was great. Only drawback was the breakfast. It had just enough but really wasn't a huge amount. Would I stay again. YES.

Really good location, standard continental breakfast. Upgraded to superior room but view was of residential apartments. The restaurant next door was very good and the prices very reasonable.

The location was terrific. It was very close to the train station, just as described. It was very close to the market which made it fun. The room had old world charm while being very comfortable. The staff was helpful with directions, maps, and changing money. The breakfast was excellent. My only complaint is that I thought internet access was available free, however, in order to use their guest computer in the lobby, I would have had to purchase a computer card for 6 euros. (On principle alone, I did not.) Other than that, it was a great hotel and I loved Florence!

Very nice hotel in very good location. Renovations still in progress and it should be even nicer when complete. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooftop bar was a great surprise.

The hotel was perfect for what I was looking for. Great breakfast in the morning and very accommodating. Great location. Very close to the train station, shopping and downtown

This hotel is in a great location in Florence - Truly a shopper's paradise. I stayed here w/my immediate/extended family - Total of 3 rooms. The views were spectacular, the staff was AMAZING, and overall it was a perfect experience. The facilities are a bit dated, reminding me of the hotel from "The Shining", but everything else offered far outweighs this element. We loved Florence, and we loved Hotel Berchielli!!

This was a great find for my husband and I. We could get anywhere, were treated very well and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Guter Service, freundliche Bedienung, das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit, sehr gut ausgestattete Zimmer, alle Sehenswürdigjeiten sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.

We loved the views from the garden terrace; I believe we were lucky enough to get the only room that opened onto the terrace as well! We were away from the street side so it was incredibly quiet as well. The common space was gorgeously retro, and we enjoyed coffee and wine in the bar throughout the day. Although we were told we would have to pay for internet access we had a bit of trouble accessing it and especially logging off of it, so the charge never appeared on our bill. In fact, on departure, the only charges we received totalled 11 euro, including 2 glasses of wine for 3 each while we waited for our room to be cleaned (we arrived earlier than expected) and 5 for corkage when we opened our own bottle on the terrace! The included breakfast was ample & fabulous, including endless free cappucini, with foam so stiff you had to eat it with a spoon!

L'accueil est excellent et le personnel très agréable. L'hôtel est bien situé, le cadre est agréable et la propreté au rendez-vous. Seul bemol au niveau de l'équipement : peu de chaînes de télévision et pas d'espace spa / massage.

While this hotel is a fair distance outside Florence, it is a very comfortable place to stay. The hotel staff was very helpful, and the facility was very nice. Breakfast was good. The free shuttle they run to Florence is nice, but only 4 trips per day; 2 in the am 2 in the late afternoon, and the shuttle is small so space is limited. Taxi fare was about $25 to or from town.

BEAUTIFUL grounds, decorations, layout, and views from the hills above Florence. A perfect step back into history and romance, if you love antiques, olive groves, artwork, superb dining, and helpful staff. My husband and I would return over and over again if given the opportunity to return to Italy. A perfect escape above the noise and hustle of the city below. Close to bus line to reach all of Florence's destinations. Owner and staff go out of their way to be helpful, book musuem reservations, help book transportation to the train station or airport, and offer travel tips, etc., all at no additional cost. I cannot tell you enough how amazing this villa really is!!!

We were on a holiday. We loved the location - a distance from Florence but close enough to bus stops if you are able and willing to walk. Lovely views. Very Tucsan. Hostess a bit sharp but if you ignore the blunt remarks, very helpful.

this affordable hotel is nicely located for foodies interested in the Scuola de Arte Culinario Cordon Bleu and outstanding restuarants nearby. Also far enough from the Centro to be reasonably quiet at night.

My wife and I stayed at the Arizona on pleasure/business trip. Would recommend it strongly to friends. Located NW of bulk of Florence attractions. If you're in reasonably good health, it's walking distance to all top attractions, very near museum with David replica, and block away from little-known gem: Santa Maria Maddalena de Pazzi. Owner/host and his staff were very helpful. The room was standard fare, very neat. (On another post, I saw complaint about the bathroom size. This person clearly isn't too aware of Italian accommodations. It was fine.) In sum, the room and accommodations were great. The breakfast was tasty. You take airport shuttle to train station, and from train station, get bus ticket and then take the 6 or 23 bus to the park at Piazza d'Azeglio; a block south of the SW corner of park.

The hotel is ideally located and comfortable. A nice place to be after a day in the heat of Firenze (specially in the garden). But, the people at the reception were unkind and the bad surprise was the additional cost for the swimming pool (EUR 8 per pers / per day)...

Très bon hôtel dans Florence, un peu excentré du centre ce qui présente l'avantage d'être au calme. Le seul point négatif reste le petit déjeuner qui n'est pas très varié mais ça ne semble pas être le repas le plus important dans la journée des italiens en général!

Overall, I should say that I had a good stay at this place. First of all, it is located about 3-5 minutes from Florence's train station. This was very convenient to me as I traveled between cities by train. So, arriving from Venice or leaving for Pisa the following day and Rome the day after (quite early in the morning) was not at all issue. I could easily walk from the station despite having 2 travel bags with wheels. However, such close proximity to the station and its location on a fairly busy street could be an issue at night sometimes, as you may hear a lot of noise from the street compromising on your sleep. It does get quieter later at night and remains so until early morning. The most important reason as to why I gave lesser points on amenities and room comfort is because the sound-proofing in the facility is poor. I could literally hear every word that was spoken in my neighbor's room (not that I intended it) and as they were awake after I had gone to bed, it was too much of a hindrance for me, as I could not go to sleep for quite some time. The second drawback is that there was a constant malodor prevailing in the bathroom despite the bathroom being clean. I am not sure if it was because of a common ventilator duct traversing the floors above and below. The shower area is quite small. I am an average person and for someone who is big, this could definitely be an issue. If you drop your soap, you could find it very difficult to pick it up from the floor. However, these were not major issues to me on the whole. My bed was comfortable. The room was clean. Mine had a balcony attached to it with a table and few chairs. I could sit on the balcony late in the evening and relax. This would be great if you traveled as a couple. There is a restaurant/pizzeria right across the street (Trattoria, I believe) with very affordable prices and does not charge for COVER (this is a common concept when you dine in Italy, more so in Venice). This could be convenient when you return in the evening tired from sight-seeing. Or you could order food for take-out and have it with your partner on the balcony! Staff was very friendly and helpful. They were always happy to provide useful suggestions and directions. My room was tidied every day and it could not have been kept better. The complimentary breakfast that they provide is extremely good. This came in handy as I was mostly seeing places. After a good breakfast, I could postpone my meal until early in the evening concentrating more on sight-seeing and worrying little about where or when I would eat next. If I needed, I could grab a quick bite and go on. For the price you pay for this hotel, I think this is definitely worth it. If I ever get back to Florence, I won't mind staying here again.

Located in the heart of the city. Friendly staff and old fashioned yet clean and comfortable rooms. Wifi connection in room has a minimal surcharge and parking in a garage only available after 3pm and has a fees. Overall, I think it is great for the price. Fantastic location. Close to tour buses and walkable distance to major attactions.

The hotel is in a great location, just minutes drive from the Florence city center. The rooms are clean and uniquely decorated, with plenty of space. The downsides are that the beds were not the most comfortable, and breakfast cost 5 Euro per person, which was not really worth it. There is a 2 Euro per person city tax that you will also have to pay when you check out.

It looked nice and modern, but the stairs were very noisy, toilet seat was loose, and paint peeling in the bathroom. When we reported the toilet seat broken and someone came to tend to it, all that was done was get the hinge back on, but the seat still loosened and slid when seated. The worst might were the mosquitoes. Whenever we returned, our room had mosquitoes; it probably happened when the cleaning person came in and left the door open. I killed 5 mosquitoes one night! Also, the place was very dark with very little lighting. In regard to breakfast, I've had better continental breakfasts at Best Westerns in the US. The breakfast at Argentiere was the most inferior breakfast I've had at a lodge. This place would be a whole lot better with better upkeep/maintenance, keeping mosquitoes out by closing guest room doors when cleaning, and a better breakfast selection.

The hotel room was large though quite dated.It is about a 10 minute walk to the ponte vecchio.The breakfast is very ordinary.

It wasn't difficult to find the hotel due to its proximity to the arno. The staff was helpful in making museum reservations. The breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary, but enough to get you through the day. The room was dusty and the linen/comforter could have used another cleaning.

Great place to call home while visiting Florence...close to iconic locations, surrounded by innumerable cafes & restaurants and all within walking distance.

The location was great. 5-10 min walk from the train station and very close to a lot of the attractions. The bathroom was the only negative experience for me. There were body hair from the previous guests in the tub and on some of the towels. yuck.

Excellent location and friendly staffs. The rooms set up was great with all basic needs. Good breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends.

The location is good,close to the central station,but the room and facility is only worth 2 star instead of 4 star.noise of the air conditioner

Located at the heart of the city. A 30 second walk from the Duomo. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bathrooms were fantastic as well. Breakfast was delicious. We were extremely comfortable and would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Florence.

This hotel is located on the Via Calzaiuoli, which is the main shopping street in downtown Florence. It is almost equidistant from the Duomo and the Piazza della Signoria (each are about a two-minute walk) and literally right next door to "COIN", which is the leading department store in Florence. It is also only a block away from the Piazza della Republica, a favorite spot to dine for American tourists. The breakfast is superb with wonderful service from two quite gracious women; if you are there off season, you are likely to hear four or five different languages from the clientele, who are mostly staying in Florence on business trips. There is virtually no noise in the hotel, since it is in the pedestrian area of the inner city, where no auto traffic is allowed. Highly recommend this hotel; if we return to Florence, it will undoubtedly receive our business once again.

Comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Rooms were nice size, services were prompt and well done. The front desk assisted us with reservations to museums and restaurants and were very gracious. The location is good, but requires some walking to the main attractions. Very close to train station. Hotel restaurant was very good. We would definitely stay there again.

Un bon rapport qualité prix pour cet hôtel et du personnel très agréable. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas plus près du centre ville.

Rapport qualité prix imbattable en février, trés beau bâtiment du genre "anglais" à florence au début du siècle dernier.Trés calme. Parking gratuit (si place).10minutes/1/4 d'heure à pied du Ponte Vechio !Un des plus beau quartier de Florence.Petit déjeuner trés bien.

Staff at reception was extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the room I was given was definitely not 4* level. Equipments including the bathroom showed their age (20+ yrs) and street noise was a nuisance due to lack of modern glazing on the window.

Had a fantastic room for family of four. 2 full baths very large room more like a separate apartment by itself very quiet and elegant. Perfect location close to everything. our best part of our vacation was the room. This is the only room in the hotel as described so choose wisely .

This Hotel is an old world gem. The staff was great. At first they put us in a room too far away from the center of the hotel, and when asked about a change, they did it right away and sent someone to help. The location is grewat, near the RR station, with access to all public transport. And it is located near everything you want to see in Florence

I will always stay in this hotel when in Florence!
