What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great stay. I think we were there 5 nights. Great neighborhood close to everything. Staff gave us excellent recommendations. The only negative is if you are in room 12? you should expect a bit of bar noise at night. Not overbearing but noticeable.”
“Could not recommend this hotel more!! We stayed there for two nights for our honeymoon after getting married in a villa right outside Florence and they took such great care of us, giving us an absolutely amazing room with an incredible view. I feel like most people know about their amazing rooftop bar, but when you stay with them, you get to have breakfast there all by yourself essentially since there are so little rooms. The area is still close to everything, but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle, which we love. Highly recommend!!”
“We stayed at Hotel Palazzo Guadagni for four nights this February and loved the authentic charm of the property. The Loggia terrace is truly unique with views over the city and our room was really comfortable and scenographic with large windows onto Pitti Palace. The staff were kind, and the location is extremely convenient for exploring the city’s main landmarks on foot. Another great surprise was the breakfast which is something I always look forward to when staying at a hotel. There are fresh juices and a wide selection of pastries and salty options that you can enjoy in the beautiful breakfast room or right outside on the Loggia. We will definitely recommend this hotel to friends visiting Florence and look forward to being back soon!”
“Wonderful service from the hotel staff, who made this a very special visit. I had a bad experience with the bar (not honouring/prioritising our reservation on a special occasion), but I've excluded that from my rating here as the hotel and the staff were truly incredible throughout our visit. Would highly recommend Hotel Palazzo Guadagni”
“We loved our stay at this hotel. Beautiful, historic building. Fantastic breakfast with a view on the terrace (where you can also enjoy evening drinks). Room was comfortable. Vincenzo went out of his way to help us with everything.”
