We enjoyed our small balcony with its overwhelming view of the 'Dome'. Breakfast was simple but adequate. Staff were accommodating and helpful. We were concerned by a 'walk up' (elevator also) but the hotel is expansive with many places to gather and a terrance bar that we unfortunately didn't have an opportunity to experience. Everything in Florence […] was a reasonable walk with plenty of restaurants a walk away. The leather shop across the street was a find. Cost was very reasonable and we kept extending our stay for day trips away. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

Hotel California is very well situated, just a short walk from all the points of interest in historical part of Florence. Its entrance is very welcoming and has a hint of luxury, the building itself is an old building, which has been very nicely renovated, leaving a bit of the old charm in it. Staff was very helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, […] all you need if you are in Florence to visit the sights and not spend large part of the day in your room, then you might look towards something more luxurious. The only negative thing and it was kind of a biggie, was the windows in our room, which were old windows and they let in all the noise possible during the night and there was quite a bit of noise outside on the streets(cleaning crew, happy people walking by, etc..), it has brought few awakened moments during the night. For the money, you get comfort and great location....... Διαβάστε περισσότερα

This hotel was very conveniently located to the Duomo and had secure (but not free) parking right next door. It was not easy to find from the autostrade primarily due to all the one way streets. We stayed in a quad room which was comfortable and clean. We ran out of hot water showering at 9AM, but got up earlier the next day and had no problem. Included […] breakfast was nice although I thought optional charge for a hardboiled egg was a bit much. Everything you want to see in Florence is an easy walk and very close to all sorts of restaurants. Staff was very helpful, but i just can't give all top marks to a hotel which still charges for internet. There's tons of free conectivity at nearby coffee shops so why charge? That said, we'd stay here again without hesitation. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

This hotel is family owned and the staff is very accomadating. The location is central to museums, shopping and the Duomo. We enjoyed our four days at this hotel and would recommend it to our friends.

Somewhat offseason, hotel staff very friendly and helpful. It is noisy, and lots of college kids up late at night. I was young too, so maybe I would have been in the party if I was younger. Hotel room was clean and breaksfast was simple. good value for the price point

The rooms and Hotel were fine. Descent value for the money. The Breakfast was a little weak with bread and croissants that were not fresh. Overall, it was an OK experience. Beautiful bar/restaurant on the terrace with a great view. I would probably stay there again.

Not quite what I'd expect from a 4 star hotel. The room (no 2) was small - no fridge or tea/coffee facilities and the double bed was two singles pushed together.

The room was more than sufficient, but the service should be brought into the 21st century. They did everything they could to discourage the use of a credit card. The internet cost was 10 Euros per day and they wouldn't accept a credit card for it and to make matters worse the strength of the signal was sketchy. When I checked out I had a bar bill that […] initially they were not going to accept a card for because it was just under 20 Euro.

We spent one night here and would return again with pleasure. Lovely, if small, room with large door opening onto tiny terrace with a special view of the Duomo. Very much enjoyed the roof-top bar, again with that spectacular view. Have a Negroni! Well-made. Parking immediately next to the hotel. Bed was comfortable, shower was fine, room was clean and […] inviting. Staff was very helpful with one small exception. A few days before check in, we asked the clerk to make a reservation to visit the Uffizi first thing so we could avoid the lines. Seemed like that slipped past whoever was supposed to handle that. So we skipped the Uffizi and strolled around Boboli Gardens, Ponte Vecchio, etc. etc. Where can't you find beautiful things in Firenze? We would stay here again without any hesitation.

I loved hotel california and would definitely stay there again. The only complaint I have is that the bed is hard as a rock which made sleeping difficult. I was prepared for this though because I had read other reviews that said the same thing. If they invested in new beds, this hotel would be perfect. The location is awesome. The street is not too […] busy unlike some other hotels I walked by that are right in the Duomo. There are great restaurants right near the hotel, just a minute walk away. If you dont want to go out to dinner, the hotel restaurant is great. The food and service was great and the view was amazing. If you dont want to pay too much and dont mind a hard bed, this hotel is absolutely perfect. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

Expected more for a 4star hotel. Rooms were clean, but looked rather old. Service could be better. Had to go down 4 floors to get a wifi code. Breakfast selection okay. Parking lot right below and right in center of Florence is a plus

Hotel is very close to everything, but getting there by car is a challenge because of the narrow streets and walking zones you have to drive through. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good. We got a room with private balcony which was very nice.

The hotel was located just blocks from the Doumo and Academia) in a stately old home and appeared to be recently remodeled.

Buying an imposing reception desk does not make you a 4 star hotel. The mattress in my room (#4) must be 40 years old. It actually sinks down 5 inches or so in the middle. The neighborhood is extremely noisy well into the wee hours of the morning. Was looking to get dinner at 11pm.

Just a stay over after hiking in Cinque Terre - but a good night's sleep would have been nice. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

First, this is not 4* as you would experience in US. Location is good, close to train/bus terminal, close to most churches and academia. Room are tiny, but recently upgraded. We had a small balcony, but no view, just rooftop of the surrounding buildings. Small tv, looks like computer monitor. No hot breakfast. One morning we came to have breakfast right […] after the group of students. It was 8am, but almost no food left, stuff was very slow to bring more food. Have to wait 30 minutes for coffee cups and yogurt. Be very carefull - internet is not FREE. When we checked-in we got the card with wifi code, I asked twice if it was free and receive positive answer. However, when we checked out they charged us $10 per night. They rejected to accept credit cards for city tax and internet charge. I believe it was an owner at front desk. He was quite rude, saying he is not going to pay $3 fee on $10 cc charge. Totally untrue. When I complained that there is no sign about wifi charge. He reply that he is not going to put sign for every bread and cheese and everything else...Extremly rude guy. Not 4* service. Do not recommend if you prefer quility service. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

We found this place by sheer luck - we were in Italy for a week and wanted to see Florence, Siene and Rome.

The room was very cold until 1600 or so, when the heaters kicked on. It took a long time for them to heat up. Breakfast was fine, but fruits were very old.

People at the front desk did try hard to please us, and we really appreciate their […] help. It'd be nice if the waters cost 1 Euro instead of 2 Euros (outside in stores, they cost from .40-.60, so the hotel would still make a profit... 2 Euros is a lot for a water bottle.)

Not a particularly interesting hotel. Located on the second floor and very difficult to find by car.

The hotel is close to the heart of Florence. The room was decent,but walls were surprisingly scuffed and the shower was the tiniest I have ever encountered. Luckily, I am very thin. I do not think that this is a 4 star hotel, and would rate it 3.5 for the overall rating if that were an option.

We booked very last minute and this was one of the few hotels with availability left. It is a block away from the Duomo on a small side street, however it is the more residential side of the Duomo. Hotels on the other side are more in the heart of the rest of the pedestrian/tourist area. The room was very small for 4 people, but recently renovated and […] reasonably clean. The bathroom was modern looking with a shower and sink. The A/C did not work properly and the temperature in the room was in the 80s and humid. The staff was not helpful in trying to resolve this. Internet access was charged in 30minute increments at exorbitant rates. Our in-laws stayed at a hotel on the other side of the Duomo for a similar price, but booked with more advance notice. It was worlds better. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

This hotel is very well-located within easy walking distance to all the major attraction in Florence. The hotel is clean, the rooms are small but comfortable, and the decor is classic Italian.

This hotel is located in a great location between the duomo and the museum that house the statue of David. The room we had was spacious, and included a fresco on the ceiling. The hotel entrance is off a passageway and reception is on the 1st floor. The reception hall is magnificent and so is the roof top bar which has views of the churches dome. You […] can purchase a bottle of wine for 8-12 euro and watch the sun go down. Breakfasts were typical for the country, with no cooked items but they would cook eggs to your liking for a fee.

The room had an unusual smell... very noticeable when one walked into the room. Running the a/c helped -but you cannot leave the a/c on while out of the room. The location was convenient to the Statue of David and Duomo. Probably would not stay there again.

I'm not sure yet how the star rating works here in Italy. However, I do know that I have stayed in nicer hotels with less stars. We choose Hotel California because of the low rate, high rating, and location. The location was the only plus in the end. Our rate was almost doubled with the addition of 2 children. Also, the bathtub was falling apart and […] had tape on it. The mini fridge was more like a lunch box (did not keep things cold). Don't get to excited about the included breakfast (if you opted for it)...not that great. You'd be better off hitting a cafe on your way out. Oh, and P.S. the hotel starts on the second floor and you have to pay for an additional parking cost (per day). All in all, the hotel was not "horrible"; just way below expectation for a 4 STAR rating. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

We booked the hotel at the last minute as a one night stay to give us a base to explore Florence during a holiday in Tuscany during july 2011 The hotel is very conveniently placed to explore central Florence- within easy walking of the main attractions- and convenient for the main station. The first floor location was a little difficult to find. But […] that apart it provided a convenient location at a relatively economic rate to explore from, and the buffet style breakfast was a good start to the day. As an aside the main attractions in Florence get very busy with long lines of people waiting to get in. In our view it was well worth the extra money to book tickets on line to get into places such as the Uffizi gallery at a specified time. Διαβάστε περισσότερα
