De Rose Palace Hotel Florence

This was a quality small hotel. Two brothers shared time at the front desk and were very helpful to the American traveler. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were a very short and lovely walk to the main attractions of Florence. It exceeded out expectations.

The De Rose Palace Hotel was lovely to stay in, approx a 15 min walk to the city centre along the river. We chose to walk from the railway station when we should perhaps have taken a taxi - the streets aren't clearly marked and what should have taken us about 10 minutes took almost an hour and half as we turned slightly before we should have and misunderstood directions from the soldiers at the american embassy (it's only 30 seconds from here!) The room was clean although the bathroom, whilst being a decent size, had very fine mould over all the walls which also gave a slight musty smell. Breakfast was good, typical european, cold meats, cheese, cereal, yoghurt, croissants - americano coffee was NOT nice! should have stuck to the cappucino!

Charming hotel with wonderful gracious staff. Great location just one block from the Arno river and minutes walk from all of the Florence sites. The staff went out of their way to make sure we achieved our vacation goals. The room was tastefully decorated, clean and quiet. Breakfast was perfect. We will return.

Staff was friendly and efficient Air Conditioning is not functioning properly Internet reception is less than good
