    We are familiar with the hotel so knew exactly what we were expecting . The only thing that I feel could be improved is the quality of the pillows . My daughter and I found them to be very hard but after a full day in Florence, it didn’t affect our sleep too badly .

    This is our third time staying at the Cosimo de’Medici. The location is perfect, 5 mins walk from the train station and 6/8mins walk to all the main sights . The hotel is small but very accessible , the staff were very friendly and professional . The breakfast room is also small but it offers a selection of fruit and cereal, pastries, croissants etc , fresh juice and hot drinks . The hot food option is limited but adequate . We had a twin room, the air conditioning was a delight in this current heat . The room was cleaned daily and the bedding and towels also changed each day . No complaints at all.

    Oh unfortunately the room fridge is not cooling at all.

    The location is just around 3mins walk out from the train station of Firenze SM Novella. Safe and good neighbourhood for excellent pasta, I would highly recommend II Corbolino restaurant, is just 5 to 7mins walk from the hotel. Florence has the best pasted ever! Also, do not miss out the Fotoautomatica machine just along the hotel at street side nearby the souvenir store. The vintage ID photo is the best memory and souvenir for own and the machine only in Florence. Not Rome not Milan.

    The breakfast provided was good but limited, and didn’t start at 7 am like they said it would. The location is a little hard to find but easy to remember once you see it!

    It was easily accessible from the train station and in a safe space with lots of foot traffic but not noisy. The staff were AMAZING and so helpful, they even let us keep our bags there after checking out because we had an early checkout and a late train home. Room was nice and cool but not cold, and the bathroom was very nice. Would absolutely stay there again.

    Room was a bit small.

    Florence is an amazing city, the location is excellent, walking distance from pretty much anything of interest. The hotel lobby is not right at the entrance of the building, is a little further inside, some people may miss it at first sight. It's a classic place, I really felt like I was in old Florence.

    Breakfast staff member was a bit short the first few days but we had a different staff member on the last day who made up for the previous staff member's behavior. The rest of the staff was great.

    The rooms were a good size, beautifully decorated, clean, great location. They offered laundry services which was extremely helpful.

    There was no coffee machine which was a bit of a downer considering Italy has the best coffee. We requested for a water kettle which was promptly brought to our room

    This was very near the train station so it's easy to move around Florence. We booked a tour early the next day and it was a breeze to go to the meeting point. There are 2 supermarkets nearby so it's easy to buy stuff we need for our stay. The mercato centrale plus the open market selling various souvenirs to bring home (bags, scarves and other stuff) was also very near.

    Our bed and pillows were extremely hard. The breakfast was good, but more fruit and a variety of main courses from day to day would much improve it.

    Great location close to the train station. Restaurants, Duomo, David, Last Supper, and Hop on Hop Off bus stop. Staff was extremely accommodating. We were disappointed in our room and the staff moved us to a perfect room.

    At times the air conditioning did struggle a little in the intense heat,

    Wonderful staff. Ilaria and Antonio at the front desk were fabulous. They did everything possible to enhance our stay in Florence, by assisting us to book tours, recommended some great restaurants and generally were a pleasure to deal with. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The hotel is less than five minutes walk from the main train station, the hop on hop off bus has a stop directly across the road and is right in the centre of the main restaurant and market area. For an old hotel, we would give it ten out of ten.

    Very convenient to the central station, just a short walk. The hotel does not have its own bar but we understood that before booking and so that was absolutely fine for us. The room was really nice and the bathroom the best part being spacious and new. Cannot fault the place, enjoyed the old lift to our floor, perhaps and issue for some but not for us. staff very friendly and helpful.
