Hotel Adler Cavalieri - Florence

After our trip in venice, this place seemed like a paradise. It is actually a hotel with right standards. We were greeted by the reception staff and were given insights and direction into Florence. However it would have been helpful for them to let us know that all the museums are closed on Monday and it would be the best day to do any touring. The first room we were given had two single beds and we requested a double bed. After an hour later we were shown to the new room. We were warned by previous travelers not to expect a big room in Italy as they are all small. But this room was so small that when we put our luggage inside the room there is no space to walk. The hotel has a great buffet breakfast , a nice day to start the day and save money. We made the most of this. Also a bike hire facility which is half the price to what you pay in the city. the hotel is in walking distance of the train station and main attractions. And conveniently located near a laundromat. The gym however needs updating as the treadmill is the only machine working there.Overall this place was the highlight of our Italy trip.

Very good value for the price.

Clean, nice room decor, bathroom a bit dated but with a bath and good value for money, friendly staff, breakfast only so so, limited, no fresh fruit, no proper fruit juice and bad coffee, lovely outdoor area to have breakfast.

Location is good, the staff is nice, breakfast is great, and the internet speed is really fast.

This hotel is a 5min walk from the station and very easy to find. The room and bathroom was spacious and double windows allowed for all outside noise to be blocked out. The breakfast was lovely and so was the setting. Would stay here again. Very comfortable.

A very good hotel that I´d happily wouold return to. To gain higher marks, the hotel should do something about the breakfast personnel... They hadn´t the breakfast ready in time if you´re there when it opened, little slow and they did not fill empty trays promptly...

Near transportation, localize good.

Stayed in Florence one day. Loved the room and the location. Room was clean neat and spacious. Staff was very friendly, Franco and Raffello at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The hotel is in a great area for seeing the sights and is close to the train station. Very quiet, we did not here any noise at night. Next time I come to Florence I will stay here!

The hotel was very well situated within a couple of blocks of the railroad station. The bedroom was clean and spacious with toiletries available, extra pillows, etc. It's a old but beautiful and elegant hotel. The breakfast was very ample with a varied selection. You could eat in the breakfast or in the patio. We would highly recommend it and would stay there again.

Except for the beautiful inside decoration or the hotel, I would rated not more, to be generous, 3 stars. For example, in the room, no space to site down to relax in front of TV, no shelve in the bathroom for tooth brush or shaving stuff, etc. Breakfast was very good, the service also. In that matter, except for breakfast, Adler hotel was the equivalent of our one starr hotel in Rome (Marielene).

A nice hotel. Staff were very helpful always, even before we arrived. Breakfast was included in the hotel cost and the variety and quality of food was very good. Great coffee! Our room was on the main floor and the plumbing was a little noisy, especially in the middle of the night. We enjoyed the hotel bar and courtyard. Good location for sightseeing.

Very nice hotel close to Santa Maria novella train station. Very convenient. Breakfast quite good. Internet was patchy had to go downstairs after the first night wasn't getting good access from my room for wireless.

One of the best hotels that i have stayed,very quiet,large rooms excellent breakfast,vety polite staff,good location

Frequent visitors to Florence; first time in Cavalieri. Without exaggeration, this hotel was excellent in all respects from location, quality, value for money, staff (friendly and active), extra services (the bar), the breakfast food and service. Definitely a true recommendation at the 4star level. We had 2 classic doubles, both excellent. We would have posted a review without being requested. also go to Pino and Rita at La Galleria restaurant near Ponte Vecchio.

Good and convenient location to train station. 15 minutes walking distance to duomo. Really appreciate early check in as we arrived quite early in the morning. Friendly staffs Breakfast choice was poor.

Only 9 parking place but we got one!

We reserved on the interne a classic double room but upon arrival we were upgraded to a spacious suite. All the service offered are good, the staff is quite helpful with tour reservations and indications. One small negative point was the cleanliness. They could do a much better job in this field. Otherwise, I would definetly recommend the hotel!

We have visited this hotel every year for the past 6 years and love it! It's in a great location, close to everything, with some great restaurants nearby. The staff are very friendly and helpful and most have been there for years remembering us each time we visit which is nice. Rooms aren't huge but are well decorated, comfortable andclean with lovely, spacious bathrooms. Would definitely recommend this hotel in my favourite city!

This was by far the best hotel we stayed in, on our trip through italy. It is close to the central of florence which made everything walking distance. It does not have a restaurant but does have a bar service opening each day which offers a selection of antipasto, but you can also purchase other small meals at reasonable prices. All we can say is that when we return to florence this will be the hotel of our choise.

We stayed in a double room with a beautiful painted ceiling......all the amenities we needed...great breakfast.....very helpful and friendly gentlemen at the front desk...close to sights and transportation

The hotel looks very old and smell very bad

Excellent location!(rail station,attractives) Room is spacious and facilities are good. Breakfast is delicious and staff is kind. I am satisfied with this hotel. If I re-visit in Florence, I will use this hotel again.

The Adler Cavalieri is the perfect hotel if you are coming and going from the train station---it is a very short walk around the corner. While the neighborhood is not dangerous in any way, it lacks some charm--however, this is compensated for by the fact that you are very close to the Santa Maria di Novella (often overlooked by tourists and very much worth a visit). Two excellent restaurants in the neighborhood are Buca di Mario and Bel Cuore--both terrific after a long day of touring around. The Hotel's facilities are superb--rooms are well-appointed and quiet, staff is friendly, generous and helpful with tours, recommendations and arrangements. The upstairs bar serves free snacks and has a lovely outdoor porch with a pond and waterfall. The breakfast is served in a lovely salon or in the outdoor courtyard. This is a very quiet and peaceful retreat from the noisy, hot, crowded streets of Florence---we would stay here again.

I really debated over where to stay in Florence...considered by the Arno River and closer to train station for convenience for day trips and going and coming. The Hotel is easy to find with directions given and signs on street. Yes, it is near the train station, so the area isn't the nicest, but as other reviewers mentioned, it still does seem safe. But again, once you step inside you don't feel like you are in the train station area anymore. Nice room, good service, very clean. Breakfast was nice, good service, can sit inside or out on the patio. Complimentary hordeurves in the afternoon in the bar area, nice sitting area. Great help from the front desk, and you can ask them to use the laptop for internet services for free. We were recommended the Belcor Restaurant near the hotel...another diamond in the rough. The owner was fabulous! as were the meals...hence we ate their twice during our 4 night stay. We would definitely stay at the hotel again and eat at the Belcor.

The hotel was very convenient to the railway station and all the famous sights of Florence. The bed and bedroom were very comfortable. Service quality was excellent.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Its close proximity to the station is very useful if you are travelling by train. Once through the main door, the hotel is cool i.e. well air-conditioned. The staff are professional and helpful. Speak good English and are willing to organize things for you. Our room was excellent being at the rear with its own private balcony overlooked by mature trees. It was quiet and very private yet in the centre of town. Again, air conditioning was very effective. All facilities and furnishings in the room and bathroom were of a high quality. The breakfast was comprehensive with plenty of healthy options. The staff in the breakfast room were welcoming and brought you coffee. We regretted leaving this hotel and other hotels did not come up to this standard. It is furnished with an old fashioned classical design i.e. wooden panels on the walls; comfortable seating; artistically painted ceilings. It has the feeling of a Gentlemen's Club but this is only an impression based on the decor.

I miei commenti sono validi soprattutto per le persone disabili al 100% anche se autonome, da sole e secondo il mio modesto parere anche se accompagnate. Di fronte l'albergo c'è la Procura quindi è 'sconsigliabile' parcheggiarvi la propria auto per cui si è costretti a farlo nel garage dell'albergo (22 euro a notte per tutti) molto scomodo per via del dislivello rispetto alla strada e per la cubatura dello stesso. Per spostarsi dall'albergo è possibile farlo solo in taxi. I servizi per i disabili dell'albergo sono validi solo sulla carta. Il water non è a norma e quindi inadatto allo scopo. E' davvero impossibile fare la doccia per la mancanza di spazio e di un sedile. Nelle stanze adibite anche ai disabili (se non erro per legge ne devono essere almeno 5) essendoci la moughette a terra risulta molto difficoltoso e faticoso effettuare movimenti e spostamenti stando in carrozzina. Nella stanza ci sono soltanto due o tre prese di corrente elettrica. Pur essendoci il sigillo di garanzia ho trovato il water usato e con una cicca di sigaretta. Scelsi quest’albergo perchè era un 4 stelle e mi era stato garantito, per email, che la stanza e i servizi erano a norma per i disabili. Sono rimasto per due notti invece delle cinque che avevo previsto. Nulla da segnalare per il personale.

Good location. The surrounding area appear run down because it is close to the train station, however, it turned out to be a great location. Easy walking distance to the cathedral and other sites. Clean and updated room. Nice facility.

Positiv: Sehr gute Lage, nahe am Bahnhof, dennoch sehr ruhiges Zimmer. Zum Stadtzentrum (Uffizien) ca. 15 Minuten. Ansprechendes Zimmer mit bemalter Decke, gutes Bett, ausreichend Schränke, sehr freundliches Personal, für italienische Verhältnisse sehr gutes Frühstücksbüffet. negativ: Raumgröße unseres Zimmers (laut Fluchtplan nicht das kleinste) geschätzt max. 15m², plus kleines Bad mit Dusche.

Very large room by European standard. Easy access to the train station, and all central Florence sites. It is on a very busy street we had a room in the back that was very quite, may not be the same if you are in a room facing the street.

Room and bathroom were very spacious by European standards. Included breakfast was excellent.

Very good in every thing.

All good

This hotel is truly wonderful. It is very close to the train station and within walking distance to many of the attractions in Florence. The desk staff were terrific and attended to our every need in a friendly manner. The hotel decor is very nice and they've managed to retain a historic atmosphere in a throughly modern hotel. The breakfast buffet which was included in the price of our room was one of the best that I've seen to date. It included a great assortment of hot and cold foods and the service in the breakfast room was impeccable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travellers and if I return to Florence will book this hotel again.

Convenience to the train station is what helped us choose this hotel. The neighborhood is not great, but once inside the hotel it was quite nice. Full service hotel with nice breakfast.

The hotel public amenities are very attractive. I stayed at a single room and there was hardly any space to place one suitcase (on the floor) without blocking the way. Nice attention from employees.

Excellent boutique hotel located near the train station and a short walk to many of the sites of Florence. It's a little oasis in the middle of Florence. The rooms and common areas are outstanding. This was our second visit to the Adler Cavalieri. It was better than the first time. You will need to be able to walk to get to the shopping and museums, 10+ minutes, but the hotel is worth it.

Decent hotel for an overpriced city. Room wasnt too bad, and the satellite tv was a bonus. Breakfast was fairly basic. Hotel very hard to get to, as the street is a one way street, which changes direction about five times. If you have a car, would recommend emailing them to let them know, so they can reserve a parking space in their very small garage. We would stay there again.

It was the first time i stayed at this hotel.In general,we like it,it is a good hotel and it has got a very good situation

A warm welcome, a grand hotel with their motifs on all toiletries, napkins and crockery. Reception and waiting staff all spoke good English and all were friendly and helpful. Lovely stay. Just a short walk from the station, but this was the only downside as the area isn't that great.

4 star for the service most of all

A good hotel I can very well stay here again.

The location was fine with 900 meters to the Duomo and just 400 meters to the market. The closest surroundings though, are a bit dull. We arrived at 22 and there were only an inferior pizzeria to eat at nearby.

Florence is a beautiful city, and this hotel is a good place to stay to experience it.

Hotel Adler provided a wonderful last night in Italy. We wish we could have had more time to stay! Room was very clean and quiet. We were even able to check in a bit early!

We had a great stay. The room was clean, nicely decorated, and the bed was comfortable. We requested a king bed, non-smoking room with a shower and that is exactly what we got. The breakfast was very good and the staff was more than helpful. It was only a short walk from the train station. We would stay here again.

Excellente adresse. Hotel central, accueil, propreté, petit-déjeuner impeccables,personnel agréable et compétent. chambre triple spacieuse avec terrasse privative

The Hotel Staff were very polite but the rooms were not as nice as those we had stayed in in Rome, Venice & Tuscany - a little small. I do however think that the hotel's size etc was based on the general set-up in Florence. The breakfasts were very good .

Super deluxe room. Much better and larger than expected. Good choice at breakfast and staff very helpful.

THe bedrooms were dark, but staff helpful and breakfasts were great!

This was our third visit to Florence. We love the city because of its art. Last time we were here was 6 years ago to participate in their yearly marathon. It was then quite an experience to run on the cobblestone streets. We went back again to our favorite restaurant Trattoria 4 Leoni. Try their baccala a la fiorentina or the trippa a la fiorentina or their polpo allo aglio. Another good restaurant is Mamma Gina also close by. It is always fun to revisit this beautiful city. We liked the Hotel Adler Cavalieri more than our previous hotel Croce di Malta where we stayed the last time and which is situated in the same Via della Scala. Staff was friendlier at Hotel Adler. This time we just concentrated in walking and watching the local people. Museums were covered in past trips.

We stayed for 4 nights.Children loved the stay. We had access to warm milk for the little one even very late at night from the bar.Beds were very comfortable.Good selection of breakfast. Very close to the train station.Eventhough, the street appeared quite dodgy in the night, it was very safe. Overall, our stay was very pleasant and satisfactory.

A lovely hotel with a very helpful staff. Great breakfast buffet and beautiful rooftop lounge. Very clean and comfortable. We stayed only for one night. Our only complaint is that the room was not ready when we arrived to check in at 1pm, so we had to leave our bags with the porter until we returned from our tours many hours later.

Overall, my stay was comfortable; I had a quiet room with pleasant balcony outside, very close to the train station. The room and bathroom were very clean and in good working order. I did get an odd room, however (room 118), which, unlike the other rooms, had a very small window and was located in a strange place, requiring a trip through the bar area. The room was also very small. I would have preferred a regular room, or an explanation from the staff and a reduction in price for the room given. The Alder Cavelieri is easy to find from the train station and a short walk, while still being quiet. But, I found better value and a more pleasant room in the other hotel I stayed in, the Hotel Centrale.

We stayed in a double room at the Adler Cavalieri, a very charming and stylish place to stay - the breakfast was really wonderful and their rooftop terrace/bar was romantic and just perfect for relaxing in the evenings.

Too small triple room. loos like more a double room with a sofa transformed into bed. not enough place for 3 people luggage. too expensive for what is offered. the breakfast is not corresponding to a 4 star hotel (choice limited)

This hotel is just three minutes walk from the SMN satation, which is the most advantage of this hotel. The room was spacious enough, quiet and clean. The breakfast was not bad at all. The only drawback was that the area where the hotel is located looks kind of shabby. The hotel itself was in good fashion, though.

Our room was spacious and clean. Very near the center and in a very good location (near the train station also). I don't know if we had luck but it was a very confortable place to stay, silent during night and with a quite good breakfast.

The hotel is located on a street approximately 1/2 block from where the street becomes one-way NW and one way SE. There is only one street you can use to intersect the hotel, from the NE. This is not shown on the Florence maps available to me. For that reason alone, I gave an average score to "location as indicated on maps". You're on foot in Florence; best to take a taxi from the train station a few blocks away until you get your bearings. We'll return for a longer stay, at least 1 week, to enjoy the museums.

Este hotel nos ha encantado, es precioso, muy acojedor. Calidad-precio es razonable. El personal muy amable y competente. Esta a 5 minutos andando del centro. El desayuno muy bien. Totalmente recomendable.

My husband really appreciated the large bathroom - as he is 6"5.

The hotel was very nice and I enjoyed my staying. There was a little welcoming chocolates in the room and I loved them very much. If you are planning to use buses and trains, location is perfect, it's just a few minutes to the station.

We had a short visit in Florence, only 1 night, but we liked this hotel very much. The room and bathroom were very nice, comfortable (bed) and clean. We had a double room on the 2nd floor and our balcony looked over the small, quiet garden of the hotel. We could only hear our neighbours sometimes but it was not disturbing. The buffet breakfast was rich. The location of the hotel is very good, the centre is only 5 min. walk. The staff was very friendly. We were by car and after checking out of the hotel we could leave our car in the hotel garage for free until 5pm. All in all, we got quality for the price. We will definitely come back to Adler Cavalieri next time, and I recommend this hotel to everyone!!!

The hotel is very close to the train station, and in that respect it is convenient. But it is several blocks from the main downtown shopping, restaurants, museums, churches, etc. For the convenience of being near the station, one must realize they will be a long walk from all sites. But the hotel is price accordingly, is quiet, and the service is fine. If it were about 2 blocks closer to the main area it would be ideal.

Very nice hotel, close to the train station but in a nice area.

We had a wonderful stay here. It's close to train and bus stations. The staff was helpful and accommodating.

Very near to the Train Terminal. The room was very neat, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was also very good.

Excellent staff. GOod breakfast and ideal location

Lovely hotel. Would stay there again on the next visit.

Breakfast was very good. Conveniently located and the staff was very helpful.

Room was spacious and clean but could use updating, bath was clean, new and a good size with all amenities, staff was extremely helpful and breakfast was excellent, beautiful outdoor and indoor dining.location was convenient to train and main sites of the city.

This was a lovely hotel, very clean and a wonderful helpful staff. Very close to the train station which was great since we were arriving late. Even closer to the bus station, which we used to go out into Tuscany. We would definately recomend this hotel

I stayed at the Adler for my Spring Break trip that also included Milan and Venice and found the Adler to be quiet, comfortable, and very well suited for a relaxing trip in the Tuscan city.

Excellent stay at this hotel, an ideal location if you want to be near the train station and most points of interest in Florence are within easy walking distance. Service and rooms are both exceptional, I found this a very friendly hotel just quiet at this time of year.

Very nice hotel in not such a great area, although you would never know it. Our room was on the same level as the enclosed garden, which we found to be very calming after a long day walking around the sites of Florence. The buffet breakfast was very nice, although the hot drinks were never hot and if you happen to go to breakfast just after the restaurant opens at 7.ooam, the hot breakfast items such as bacon, eggs and sausage were not cooked and ready to serve. This was a little dissapointing as it was our last morning and we wanted a hot cooked breakfast before we headed off to the airport. All that said, we would stay at the Adler again and with a bit of luck we will.

We, as a group from Ireland, had a wonderful stay in the Hotel Adler Cavalieri,couldn't fault it at all!!!! would definitely go back.

A very thoughtful hotel to stay with excellent location and kindly service. Providing excellent travelling advice and service through out Florence. The bathroom is fantastic with messarge bath tank, and lots thoughtful accessories. The price is reasonable, too. Definitly want to come back again

It was a good stay.Rooms are very good as well as the people working in the hotel.The only thing I'd say, is the confrontation between price and hotel....4/5 stars?...ok, anyway I recommend this hotel for Florence!!!

Hotel de qualité service aussi prix assez élevé bien situé ds la ville

Accoglienza ed assistenza ineccepibili. Ottima la logostica, in pieno centro e vicina a tutto. camera molto bella anche se un po' piccola. abbiamo prolungato il soggiorno di una notte senza alcun problema. ottimo il buffet a colazione.

Sublim hotel. Worth being a bit off-track, with the convenience of it being easy to reach when you come from the highway. Only 10 minutes to the center, walking in small streets makes it a pleasant location. Personnel was extremely nice: I asked to have my coffee outside because I wanted to smoke, without me asking they installed me one of their small table, with a chair, with a tabler cover and everything!! The property is extremely nice: reading rooms (fireplace must be nice in the winter), wine bar (well, it's not REALLY a wine-tasting bar, but they have snacks (salty & sweet) the whole evening long, for free), makes it easy to spend a quiet evening there when you had a long day walking. My friend was sick one morning, I asked if I could take some stuff from the breakfast buffet upstairs, they helped me carry everything, really friendly! One small thing: the sauna and health center are NOT free of charge, and have limited opening hours (and no overlap between male and female times (!!!)). Price is a bit high, but I would go again without hesitation, just for the beauty and relaxing atmosphere of the place and the friendliness of the people.

Rooms facing the street are, specially on the top floor are very loud. Rooms facing the back side of the street are very quiet. I could change the room after one night to a quiet room.
