    The location of this Hotel is very good to access from the Station. Most of famous sites of this city can be easily accessed by walk. Classical and renewal room was clean and cozy. Breakfast was good.

    Excellent location and cozy stay, but a bit noisy and overpriced

    The windows are not soundproof, so street noise continued late into the night, which made it hard to sleep. The breakfast was decent but nothing special or memorable. The hotel felt overpriced for what it offered, although this seems to be the norm in Florence, particularly during the high season.

    Hotel Palazzo Benci is right in the heart of Florence’s historical centre, just minutes from the Duomo. There are numerous restaurants and bars right outside the hotel, making it easy to enjoy the local food and nightlife. The hotel has a small, cozy feel that adds to its charm. The single room, although compact, was clean and comfortable.

    The hotel was in a really good central location, and the room was comfortable and cleaned every day. Value for money.

    No where to hang damp towels. Bathroom had only small light over the mirror. No main ceiling light, not good at night or darker months. Would have liked a kettle to make a hot drink morning and night.

    Central location with a good size room. Serviced every day. Breakfast needed more fresh fruit, mainly apple, pieces of orange and kiwi were a slither and wasn't topped up for the number of people. Plenty of croissants bread, but pastries same each day.

    There was nowhere to hang the towels in the bathroom, but I think the hotel was looking into this. Didn't like shower products in the little sachets, I think a pump action bottle attached to the wall is more practical. The sachet was hard to tear and not much inside. Tea & coffee in the room would've been nice too ^ maybe 1 bottle of water.

    Lovely large room overlooking San Lorenzo Church. Double glazing ensured a peaceful night. The staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel clean and tidy, everyone did a good job. Great breakfast and breakfast room, staff were attentive and kept the breakfast room spotless. Bed was comfortable and quality towels. Loved our stay here.

    The hotel is very clean, looks new, centrally located and close to the train station. Easy walk to a variety of restaurants and shops and the tourist spots. Breakfast was great too. The staff are friendly and helpful especially the reception guy who greeted everyone with a great attitude, i noticed he treated everybody with such happy mood.

    Centrally located, really met the expectations of a beautiful antique hotel but very well maintained with a modern look! The breakfast was a very pleasant experience, hearty and plenty to embark the days activities!

    shower tiny. soap bars tiny. shampoo in tiny sachet, i had to buy my own. no kettle in the room to make coffee. breakfast offerings were heavily focused on sugary items, with limited protein options. on one occasion, boiled eggs had already run out by 8:30 a.m. (breakfast starts at 7:30 am)

    the location. close to the train and bus stations. close to central Florence. close to lavanderia. close to restaurants. there is air conditioning.

    It was a bit hot to sleep even though there was air con. Couldn't quite get the room cool enough. Could have a bit more variety of food at breakfast. The food was good though.

    It was a lovely hotel and location. Staff were fantastic.
