Hotel Botticelli - Florence

9.8

The room was lovely - really big and spacious with comfy chairs which was nice. Bathroom was good too although the shower kept sliding down the pole!! Breakfast was okay, your typical fare when you stay in a big hotel, nothing out of this world but it did the job. Location was really handy for all the main sights. We'd go back again.

7.6

the service was really good. My room was ok but I saw better rooms in the hotel.

9.7

Location is good though in a bit of a grafitti-ridden area. Celia at the front desk was SOOO helpful. She went way above and beyond to provide good service and helpful info.

8.8

The location is excellent. We walked everyplace and the directions from the train were exact. The people in the counter were very helpful and spoke excellent English. Breakfast was just what we needed. The room, however, was very tight. The closet was too narrow for hanging clothes side by side, only one behind the other. It would have helped had the rode slid out.

8.1

hors saison : prix tres correct pleine saison : trop cher car chambre bruyante sur la rue !! Dans les commentaires, une terrasse pour les clients avec vue en hauteur est proposée mais on ne nous a rien propose de ce genre

9.3

Very nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff.

8.9

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was easy to reach on foot from the train station even with a wheelie case. It was a few minutes walk from the Accademia and ten minutes from most of the other main sights. My room was quiet but a bit dark with no view as it overlooked a narrow back street. However, the air con was very efficient,the bed very comfortable and the bathroom had good towels and good supply of soaps etc. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and gave me great recommendations for local restaurants. There was an excellent Internet cafe at the back of the hotel in Via Guelfa. As a lone traveller , I felt very secure and at home in the hotel. I would certainly return there on my next visit to Florence.

9.2

Nice hotel, well situated close to an animated part of Firenze and close to the center. The staff is nice. The rooms are pleasant, quiet, maybe a little bit too small. Hotel to be recommended.

9.7

The desk clerk that we spoke with the most was very helpful, giving us both dining and shopping recommendations. The hotel is in a very convenient location, just a short walk from both the train station and the tourist attractions. We had requested a quiet room, and it was so quiet we were surprised by the number of people at breakfast.

8.7

Ideal hotel for the first time visitor. Ten minute walk to the train station. Fifteen minute walk to the Uffizi and the Arno river. Five minute walk to the Accademia. Our room was clean, modern and of adequate size. Security was good; there was a safe available in the room, as well as a bar fridge which held the usual assortment of overpriced goods. Unfortunately, the cooling was broken and wasn't fixed for the four days we stayed. Also, the toilet trickled constantly; it didn't bother us at all, but the water loss must have been considerable. We reported both of these problems to the front desk but nothing was done while we were there. Elevator service is very good; breakfast area and service was very good; front desk staff were excellent. We were on the second floor at the front of the hotel overlooking the street. There was a small terrace for guests to use next to our room. While not offering a postcard view, we really enjoyed it every evening. The general ambience of the hotel was very pleasant.

6.5

No hot water for the whole weekend due to some plumbing fault. Hotel did not offer a discount for this.

8.5

I spent a few days of vacation during the new year here with my gf. It is very close to the central outdoor market of Florence and close enough to everything else (you can walk to any other part of Florence). Because of the Italian half-door style bath tubs, water gets everywhere when you shower. I am not sure why that is so popular in Italy. The staff was helpful, and rooms were spacious enough. If I went back, I would definitly stay here again. It is close enough to the central train station that walking with luggage is not difficult.

9.7

My first time at this hotel. The rooms are really nice, clean, comfortable and quiet. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Location is excellent - with a great restaurant about 20 steps straight out the front door (Za Za) and only a short walk to all the major sights. Free access to the internet (although there is only one computer and sometimes you have to wait for it). I would definitely stay here again.

6.9

Lovely hotel, but the room we had was tiny. Other than that I had no problems, everything clean, staff friendly. Food nice in morning. Good location.

8.0

Well positioned, very comfortable and modern facilities. Breakfast room very attractive and welcoming. Breakfast coffee was very good and so was the food! Staff very helpful recommending very good trattorias.

8.4

We were very content with the service and the location of this hotel

5.0

The rooms were clean and very basic. Our room faced the street and was extreamly noisey. The street did not seem very active during the day but turned into one big party at night. The property is also a bit more removed. It certainly was wiithin walking distance to just about everything; however, we were under the impression that it was located in the heart of the city. You would think that being of the beaten path that the hotel would be in a quiet area...not so.

8.5

Hard to find the location. The map should be refined.

8.6

The best thing about this hotel is its location. You can walk to about everything in Florence. It is near the central market and there is occasional street noise,that can get loud. The lobby is big with a lot of seating. There is free access to a computer with internet access. The breakfast was average with a good selection of food.

8.5

Even with directions, we hard a hard time finding the hotel...not the hotel's fault - streets detoured. The hotel's parking lot could not accommodate our large van, so we had to pay 36 euro per day to park....not a good surprise upon registration.

8.2

THE HOTEL IS LOVELY AND COSY, STAFF REALLY HELPFUL AND ROOMS NEWLY REFURBISHED AND VERY CLEAN. BREAKFAST WAS A BIT UNDER MY EXPECTATIONS, BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE THIS HOEL AGAIN FOR OTHER STAYS IN FLORENCE. MOREOVER, IT IS REALLY NEAR BOTH TO FORTEZZA DA BASSO AND TOWN CENTRE, IN A NICE AREA FULL OF RESTAURANTS AND TYPICAL "TAVERNE".

8.8

This is a small, well run hotel in an interesting area of Florence near the market. It blends the feel of a neighborhood while being central enough to reach all the desired sites. The room was quite small, but that is to be expected, and overall, a good value for the price. The second floor balcony area (which was near our room) added a feeling of openess to the outside, yet felt private. We had a room at the rear, so it was blessedly quite; I imagine rooms on the street are not so well insulated from the street noise. I would return to this hotel

5.6

Secondary glazing to reduce the noise from the street would help, especially when the City empties four communal rubbish bins early in the morning outside the window.

6.8

The hotel is very well located within short walking distance of major touristic sites. We had a very pleasant stay; the only "minus" was that we had a room at the front side, and the poor acoustic isolation (windows didn't close very well) made us enjoy the nightlife of the neighbourhood a bit more than we really wanted... But all in all, the hotel offers good value for money; the staff is very friendly and helpful, so if we ever go back to Firenze we would probably book the hotel again.

9.7

This hotel was great. The staff was nice and friendly, the room was really nice, and having the central market right out your front door made the location great. Everything you want to see in Florence is just a ten minute walk. I really enjoyed my stay, and will be staying again.

8.8

My girlfriend and I spent five magical days in Florence staying in Hotel Botticelli. It is far better than the accomodation provided in other rated establishments in the city of Flornce. Its very central, reasonable (make sure you know the cost of your stay in advance and print out the details). I found alot of different price quotations on different websites. Their standard of English would put one to shame!

7.8

Our stay was short, a break in a journey from Northern Italy to South East Tuscany. We were welcomed by effecient and multi-lingual staff. Our room, though smallish, was comfortable and had all the required facillities. Breakfast was a typical Italian affair - worth asking for a cappucino or espresso. The whole property has been recently reconstructed, a great many orginal features have been sensitively reastored - the decorated vaulted ceilings are a particular treat! The only downside being the location which some will find a little run-down - others will find characterful! The short route from Firenze S.M. stazione down Via Nazionale is not the best into to Florence. That said you will pass a least two very good eating places which rate highly for value. No trip to Florence is complete without a visit to the excellent covered market - only a few mtrs away from the hotel.

9.8

Very comfortable hotel in good location. Information on web site correct and helpful.

8.1

great location, a little difficult to find but Florence is like that. Some confusion at checkout time but was resolved eventually. Clean, quiet, right off the market and 5 mins from the terimal.

8.7

Beautifull and charming hotel, well situated near mercato centrale and some very nice restaurants. We particulary appreciated the cleanliness of the room. We fully recommend this hotel for couples without kids.

6.8

Many positive qualities including location and architecture but 2 complaints. Quality of our room furnishings has deteriorated since our last stay (same room)and quality of breakfast food unacceptable (juice watery and breads low quality). Doubtful we would return again.

9.4

We loved Hotel Boticelli and would stay there again. The location is great. Their coffee is amazing! The only downside is the noise; rooms facing the street are VERY loud.

9.2

excellent location- handy to many sites- helpful staff

10

We enjoyed our stay and will stay here again in the future. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful with directions to areas outside of Florence. We felt we were definitely made to feel very welcome during our 3 day stay. The terrence on the 2nd floor was wonderful.

7.1

price/quality combination is competitive in Firenze, but in genereal quite expencive. The location is excellent,but the way to get there was very difficult because the street was completly shut off at one side. I was not informed about this by the organisation.

9.2

Very warm wellcome plus a french speaking keywoman who could greatly help us. Perfect stay in firenze

9.5

The room was great and the staff extremely friendly. We were just married and they took very good care of us. Thank you.

6.9

A decent property, but perhaps not as special as the photographs portray. Our stay was fine, but $216 for a room of this quality would be too expensive in most other European cities. In Firenze, they can get away with it. Our only complaint would be the quality of the mattress. Also, note that this hotel is corporate owned (one of about 30), so if you want to stay at a small, family-owned hotel, perhaps you should try something else. All in all, a decent place in an excellent location -- you probably won't be disappointed, but then again, you won't be overly impressed.

2.8

My room was so small that I couldn't even stand in it. As for a view, all I could look out on was a corridor. This hotel is a horrible deal. I have to believe that one can do far better for the price.

8.5

The staff and location of this hotel are excellent by far and I think unbeatable. The rooms, however, are a bit small and there is not enough space to put clothes. I had no drawer space for underwear, socks and half my shirts. Also the heating system was lacking but the staff made up for it by providing a space heater for me to use and that was fine.

6.8

The room with a view was visually nice, however was not offset by the constant roar of the vespas on the street below which continued throughout the night.

8.8

We stayed at the Boticelli for two nights and returned a week later for 4 nights. We were allowed to store some luggage between our two stays at this hotel. The breakfasts were generous and hearty. We had prosciutto and melon every morning with the usual rolls, juice and coffee. The rooms were spacious and in fact, they gave us a small suite on our return. The staff was very friendly and helpful (especially Yolanda) and they had a bellman to help with luggage. They were great to give directions and gave us good referrals to restaurants in the area. Our last day there it was rainy so we bought provisions for lunch and had our lunch on the patio area on the 2nd floor. Best restaurant found was Il Toscana which is about a block and a half from the hotel. Food and service were excellent. We returned 3 nights during our two stays in Florence.

10

My family and I had a great time staying at your hotel. The breakfast area was superb and cozy. We loved the food and the kindness and professionalism of the personnel. I would certainly return to the Botticelli. Thank you.

9.1

Not half as kitsch as the name suggests, this is a pleasant, quiet hotel in a building of some historical character, well-situated within walking distance of the station and most sites in central Florence. Good cosmopolitan mix of customers. Helpful, smiling staff. Public areas have a touch of old Florence; the double room was clean and bright, if a bit bland. Nonetheless this conversion of an old pallazzo has struck the right compromise between ancient and modern.

5.1

Nice hotel in the centre, but to expensive (overpriced).
