Hotel Cimabue - Florence

4.5

There was no heating in the rooms. We were freezing for 3 days. It was my worst stay ever.

6.3

Good overall experience, but: - the shower wasn't in the bathroom: it was in the room (outside the bathroom)! So you'd better ask before make your reservation if it would represent a problem. - When we checked out the reception wasn't able to accept credit cards because of a phone line problem, so we had to go out and find an ATM to get cash and go back to the hotel to pay.

6.8

great location for exploring florence. reception was friendly and breakfast was decent. The room was clean but the bathroom had a weird soury smell. Almost like they used vinegar to clean the surfaces. Apart from that, everything was good.

9.4

This hotel was located in the historic centre however it is still a bit of a walk to the Duomo (about 20 min). We walked everywhere when we stayed in Florence. The staff was nice and friendly. The breakfast was also nice. The rooms do look pretty much as you see on the website. I would reccomend this hotel.

C'est un bon hotel avec un personnel accueillant, belle chambre avec une grande salle de bain. Très bien placé pour parcourir à pied cette belle ville de Florence. A deux pas du marché. Bon rapport qualité/prix. Vraiment un bon hotel à conseiller.

9.3

It was a great hotel. good location, awesome size room. i would definitely stay or recommend the Hotel Cimabue in Florence.

9.8

Hotel Cimabue is just excellent! We will return.

8.6

The location was perfect, all Athens sights were within walking distance or easily reached by nearby Metro or bus. We are a family of 5 and the adjoining rooms given us were perfect - it was a suite of 2 rooms with an outer door which allowed us to lock a single door for security while keeping our adjoining rooms accessible to each other. The breakfast was generous and had a good variety of foods. It set the perfect start for our tour, every other hotel was compared with this one.

9.0

Siamo stati benissimo. L'Hotel è molto grazioso, pulitissimo e calda accoglienza. Lo consigliamo a tutti.

9.6

Excellent place to stay. Only a little more expensive than a hostel, but so much better. A real highlight of our trip.

7.1

La habitación que nos tocó, con muebles antiguos, resultaba un poco oscura, los baños un poco anticuados pero limpios, es desayuno correcto, y muy amables en el trato. En cuanto a la situación, está muy céntrico y se puede ir a todas partes andando.

9.7

Lovely room beautiful receptionists!!!!

9.0

The staff was excellent and very helpful in setting up two tours and booking them for us. They were helpful in providing breakfast and bar services. I will highly recommend this hotel. We will stay there again when we go to Florence on our next vacation.

9.8

fantastic. we really enjoyed our stay. all the staff is so kind. nice room and good breakfast.

7.7

The hotel is in a very nice building, and staff are friendly and helpful. The room was not large, but still spacious enough for the night we stayed there. The shower was quite small. Breakfast selection in the morning was pretty good.

8.7

Hotel très bien situé, proche des principaux monuments de la ville. Accueil trés chaleureux. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Petit déjeuner correct. un seul petit bémol la salle de bain est petite mais très correcte et propre.

9.9

splendido!ma lo sapevamo già, è la seconda volta che veniamo e ce ne sarà sicuramente una terza.

9.8

viaggio di lavoro, ma una vacanza grazie al personale molto gentile. l'hotel è vicino sia al centro che all'area congressi.

8.2

It was somewhat of a trek from the Train Station, but we chose to walk and not get a cab so that's on us. Not the closest to the site seeing, but a very nice quiet part of town and still a nice stroll to the center of the action. We had a huge room. I think they gave us a suite. I was able to see other rooms in the hotel and we must of lucked out. The A/C worked just fine, but we chose to leave the windows open as it was nice and cool outside. The bathroom was typical of European sized bathrooms. Both room and bathrooms were very clean. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast offered a good variety of food and drinks. Pretty easy check in and check out. We had a great stay. I'd definitely stay here again when I come back.

6.6

The room was near the reception, and there were too much noise in the early morning.

6.7

Fubcitional and essential hotel. Old Tuscany's antiquarian leisure style. Some problems and discomfort about car parking.

4.8

Good general experience, although a slightly higher standard (room / breakfast)would have been expected for the price paid

9.6

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was small but clean. Friendly, helpful (even with the language barrier) staff. Nice breakfast offered in a lovely sitting area. Short walk to the duomo, plenty to do/see in the area.

6.9

For the first stay in Florence not to bad, breakfeast price quality not much choice. Bedroom was clean and the personal very friendly.

3.4

The room was really expansive for the price. It was quite cute but so small and the bathroom was just ridiculous. Moreover, it was a little bit noisy... And the view over the window didn't basically exist ! We could see a wall, so the room was dark, obviously. Nothing to do with the pictures with the domus shown on venere.com. I think that if we had been an maturer couple, nobody would have given us this room. But we were young, so we could accept anything employees must have thought...

7.7

Overall for the price an ok hotel, location was a little to far away from everything we wanted to do. But overall a pleasant stay though.

9.9

We had hours of love and happiness here, out of time, out of world. Nothing disturbed such an enchanted atmosphere with my loved one, so certainly I recommend this hotel. Hope to come back again and again with my twin soul, year after year after year, never tired and never afraid to love each other so deeply and so absolutely...

4.3

Convenient location (close to the Galleria dell'Accademia museum and fairly close to the train station). Surroundings are nice and quiet. Staff is very welcoming. However, the rooms are small, furniture very basic. Our bathroom was the tiniest we've ever seen. More annoying : we stayed at Cimabue Hotel in mid-October and the heating system was not working. The room was frozen. The Cimabue hotel is located at the ground floor of a palazzo : the central heating is dependent on the other co-owners of the building. The reception told us that it was not running before the winter! Hotel facility is a bit disappointing for a 3-star hotel, although location vs. price is rather fair.

Estuve en Florencia durante cinco dias siendo un viaje que me ha cautivado.La primera impresion que me llevo el ver la habitacion fue de extrañeza ya que ese tipo de decoracion no es muy usual desde donde vengo.respecto a calidad-precio me ha parecido bastante desigual,algo caro para lo que se nos ha ofrecido.La unica queja que tenemos del hotel es que a la hora de reservar pidimos una habitacion con vistas si estaba disponible y nos encontramos que nos dieron una habitacion en le primer piso(hicimos la reserva con un mes de antelacion)y no podiamos abrir la ventana porque estabamos a la vista de toda aquella persona que pasara por la calle y tambien mencionar el buffet de desayuno, el cual era bastante escueto y no ofrecia una gran variacion lo cual tampoco me gusto. Destacar la atencion del personal del hotel, en concreto el de una chica joven que siempre nos atendia con una sonrisa en la cara y fue de lo mas amable con nosotros, chapo por ela!!

9.4

Quite a good location in Firenze, even if after four days, it was quite tiring to walk to and back from the far away monuments twice a day! The quality of the hotel was really good, especially for the price we paid (70 euro), the breakfast was all right, and the young girls were really friendly. We had a car that we parked along the kerb, they gave us a proof of our staying in the hotel, and they did not make us pay at the end (did they forget ? I don't know). Well, a very good surprise! And Firenze is such a magnificent place!

3.3

the smallest room we ever stayed in, was hard to enter not to mention moving about, toilet needed 15 minutes to refill with flushing water, breakfast was very limited in choice and quality (except for coffee, nice and strong); the reception staff were very helpful in finding restaurants and attractions nearby, but I wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone or go back there myself

9.0

This is a sweet Italian hotel just a short ten minute stroll from the bustling (and noisy!) city center. Parking is nearby, just a few blocks away, and you'll also find some Italian Trattoria's in the area serving local cuisine for an authentic and delicious taste of Florence.

7.7

Hotel Cimabue was adequate but not elegant. Rooms are small, bathrooms smaller and the shower enclosure miniscule. Would not recommend to "plus size" travelers or those with physical limitations. It would not be feasible for them to shower at Cimabue. Also, for older or infirm folks, getting up the stairs to the second floor is and extreme challenge - especially if traveling with luggage of any consequence. We were fortunate to have our "20-something" nephews traveling with us as they were lifesavers when it came time to move suitcases up or down the stairs. The location is o.k. and there are a few good restaurants within walking distance. The Duomo and museums are also 15 minutes by foot and the Palazzo Pitti is perhaps 25 minutes. Cimabue is o.k. for a short stay (we were there 2 nights) and the price (for Florence) is o.k. also.

4.7

Differences between internet and the reallity: No internet access, No laundry service.

9.9

As someone had written before, the receptionists were so nice. I think that this hotel has a good cost performance.

8.0

The price was reasonable for a two-night stay at the Cimabue. Pictures on the web actually look much better than the real thing. We have been in Firenze before and stayed at a better place, in terms of price and offered comfort. (It was sold-out when I tried to book it this time). The front desk staff were very kind and attentive to our needs, as were the two ladies in charge of the breakfast room. Good service always makes it up for any other weak performance.

9.2

I can´t praise the hotel enough.. it has probably been the best hotel we´ve stayed in so far (and we have been to a few). It´s not luxurious, but it has a wonderful and charming atmosphere and our room was fantastic, spacious, clean and with a wonderful fresco in the ceiling. From the welcoming when we arrived to the reccomendations on where to eat and what to see, you felt they really cared about their service and wanted you to enjoy your stay (a very rare thing indeed in most hotels, where the service is correct but impersonal). My only complaint was that they kept changing the towels everyday when I´m happy to use them for more than one day!. We will definitely stay again at Cimabue if we go back to Florence, and I´m reccommending it to all and sundry.:)

7.7

The location of the hotel was nice because we could walk to nearby sites. The room with bath was clean and spacious, but ordinary.

9.1

This was a great location for us to stay in Florence. It was just far enough from the main areas that it was quiet, yet close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see. The hotel owner and his staff were very helpful with everything including helping us get our lost luggage (by the airline) returned to us.

7.8

We had two triple rooms, they were set up well and the furnishings were pleasant. The air conditioning worked very well. We found the hotel relatively easily per venere directions.The staff was helpful. The breakfast choices were good. We enjoyed our stay.

8.8

l'accueil fut excellent la localisation parfaite. cet hotel est chaudement recommandé pour tous les francais qui veulent visiter Florence et qui souhaitent un accueil personnalisé et chaleureux.

9.7

Hôtel simple sans luxe inutile, personnel sans courbette mais efficace (anglais & francais courant) et très courtois. Les chambres ont du caractère (fresques, meubles d'époque), la propreté est irreprochable tout comme le service en général. Rue calme avec accès à pied rapide au centre historique (10'). Petit déjeuner banal mais excellente prestation dans l'ensemble. Conseillé.

9.0

This was the first time we stayed at the hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and nice, the rooms were spacious and clean. The location was close to the main square. We traveled in a group of 8 people and we all had a great time We would definitely stay there again.

10

RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE EL HOTEL, ESTA MUY LIMPIO LA ATENCION ES DE PRIMERA TODOS SON MUY AMABLES. ESTA MUY BIEN UBICADO. CUANDO REGRESE A FLORENCIA SIN DUDA ME VOY A HOSPEDAR NUEVAMENTE EN ESTE HOTEL. EL DUEÑO ES UNA PERSONA MUY AMABLE CON SUS HUESPEDES. SI NECESITAS USAR INTERNET, LO PUEDES USAR EN LA COMPUTADORA DEL HOTEL PAGANDO UNA MODICA CUOTA. DE VERDAD LO RECOMIENDO!!!!

8.8

easily in walking distance from major sites. OK for a place to crash but yet another 3 bed room sold as 4 person , 3 with a rollaway for the 4th. Had a corner room , ther seemed to be quite a bit if street noise, but with jet lag , can sleep through most anything.

7.9

Nice hotel, friendly staff. Room was fine, but bathroom was not great.

9.8

Great accomodations for a family of four in a wonderful room. Friendly, accomodating staff. Directions to the hotel were lacking - recommend re-look on the website. I would definitely stay here again, now that I know how to find the hotel.

9.8

I propietari sono competenti e gentilissimi, raccomando questo hotel!!!

9.9

I can't believe this wonderful hotel only has two stars. The only problem we had was the bed was a bit too soft and soggy for us, but the superb welcome has us recommending it to all our friends and family.

9.6

Un hotel muy acogedor, atendido por sus propietarios, habitaciones bien acondicionadas y limpias, un restaurante pequeño pero bien atendido, con precios razonables. Pero lo mejor de todo, es la amabilidad de su propietario, quien siempre estuvo atento a que disfrutásemos de nuestra estancia. ¡Definitivamente es muy recomendable!

7.7

A room with a view? That's too much to expect in a small hotel close enough to the famous sites of Florence to be very convenient for the modern 'grand-tourist' whilst avoiding the constant bustle of the inner-city only 15 minutes walk away (less if you aim for St Marco). Small though our room was, it was quiet, very well cared for, and the plumbing (the English are fussy about this) was excellent, although the en-suite facilities made the best of a very small space. The owner and staff are conscientious about the well-being of their guests, friendly and helpful. Apart from the breakfast room and evening bar, do not expect a communal area. When we go again to visit the 'do-not-miss' places we did miss, we would probably choose the Cimabue again.

8.1

The owners of the hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming upon our arrival, even though it was nearly 11pm at night. They got us squared away with parking and helped us get our luggage into the room. The rooms were comfortable, although my in-laws room had the tiniest shower I've yet to see in Europe. The location was a bit difficult to find, though we've found that to be the way with Florence. Breakfast was excellent. It was a bit further from the major sites than other hotels, but not a bad walk.

8.2

Both the proprietor and his son were most hospitable towards us and very helpful in providing information about ongoing travel and local restaurants. Our room was quiet, clean and reasonably spacious for a hotel of this class in a large city. The shower cubicle however was quite small. We can thoroughly recommend the hotel to future guests.

10

Excellent small hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Very good coffee in the morning. Quiet location and close to every thing Florence.

9.2

Excelente atención, muy buen desayuno. En el verano ojalá tuviera aire acondicionado aunque costara mas caro

7.3

At the level of correspondence between web pages and services offered we found surprises. They don't provide parking service and this is a very difficult service in Florence (between 15€-18€ by night). All other services like air condition, internet are available but we have to pay. In this hotel we felt that all was business and money, you have to pay in an additional way all the services that you like. This strategy avoids to compare this hotel with others that provide the same services but the prices displayed in internet include all services. It’s important follow all indications given in internet to find the hotel because there is only one path to arrive.

7.2

the hotel is near the historicel center ,10 minites away,it is a small hotel with very nice peaple who run it,who are willing to halp and to explain what you need. 2 thinghes werent so good: 1.there is no aircondition 2.the shower/bathroom is too small for even one person.

6.7

No air conditioning in each room. Attacked by mosquitos. Breckfast very good. 10 minute walk from Dumo. Excellent help from Shauna at reception. Bar on premises.

8.4

This is our second stay at Cimabue. We find both the location and the management to be superb. It is a small, family-run hotel; very welcoming and delightful. Some rooms are quite small (as we have found in many European hotels), but others are large. Ask for a large one. The management makes EXCELLENT cafe latte in the morning. There was some road construction underway when we were there (May 2004), which detracted from the ambiance somewhat. However, we understand the work will be completed by month's end or the middle of June. An excellent location - about 5 minute's walk from the Accademia.

8.4

A very nice and friendly hotel - good value for the price. Very nice and friendly welcome, clean rooms, nice area for breakfast, nice choice for breakfast. Close to the train station. They provide you with all the information about museums, expositions, they can suggest itinerary. They talk to you in Italian, French, English, etc. Very happy with it Will book again in our next trip to Florence.

8.2

About 15 mins walk from the centre. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet except for one night due to street cleaning. Breakfast adequate. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend, providing you are prepared for the walk to and from the centre.

8.1

A very nice hotel for the price. Extremely warm and helpful staff. Good breakfast with excellent cappuchino. Beware of the blood-sucking vampires!

8.8

Great hospitality, very nice and helpful staff. Good location although the street might be noisy at night. Spacious rooms (nice frescos) but bathrooms need a renovation. Small hotel with a grerat atmosphere. I do recommed it!

9.9

This hotel deserves more than two stars! The owner and his son are warm, caring people who love their work. They provide elaborate verbal explanations and advice, as well as travel guides in several languages in their cheerful dining room, including one they handmade from clippings and photos, with handwritten captions. A full list of cultural events is available, as is an internet station, postage stamps and local bus tickets. They even provided an appliance in each room to curtail those Tiger mosquitoes, still rampant in November. (Oh, for window screens to be discovered in the Empire...) The only sour note was early morning traffic by our streetside window, but that's not anyone's fault. Some of the best coffee in Italy!! Thanks for the hospitality!

8.8

The hotel was fine, no problems and nicer than could have been expected for the money. The staff were outstanding, and really bent over backwards to do everything they could to make us enjoy the city, not just the hotel. Highly recommended!

9.1

The woman at the desk provided a warm welcome when we arrived, later than expected. She also gave us good tips on local restaurants and on how to get out of the hotel in the early morning hours. We did not know at the time that we would have to leave in pitch blackness. The nationwide power failure occurred about two hours before our scheduled departure. The Cimabue seemed to be a very pleasant hotel. We wish we could have stayed longer. You should ignore my ratings of the "Quality of service provided" and "type and number of rooms available." I provided ratings only because the web site would not let me leave them blank.

7.6

very well wellcoming,they explain whatever you want about the city, and services, and get you the tickets for the transport. The breakfast is very good, enough for a normal person(I eat a lot)but normaly I don´t have breakfast like that. The rooms have "old fashioned" furniture, but is like an old palace.

9.2

Very friendly and non intrusive staff. Offered lots of advice and useful tips on Florence.

8.1

The owner is super nice and very helpful, so is his assistant. The rooms are on the small side and they don't have AC. Caveat emptor if you plan on visiting one of the hottest cities in italy during the summer. You're only a 4 minute walk to L'Academia (Statue of David). It is in one of the nicest area's of Florence.

8.8

Quite a nice hotel, not that far from city centre and other amneties. Hotel staff were extremely helpful. Admittedly it was a bit too hot in the rooms and airconditioning would be an asset. We had a fan, which helped a bit. Would gladly go back to the same hotel, maybe not in summer but in general, and in terms of price, it was an excellent deal.

8.9

Very helpful and kind staff. We had a nice room with high ceiling including "fresco". Some traffic noise from the street early in the morning.

8.1

There were 8 people in our group ranging from age 17 to 51 years old. Everyone agreed that the the staff, expecially Mr. Rossi, were wonderful. He went out of his way to see to our comfort and needs. The location was good and the rooms were large and comfortable.

3.2

If you like hotel owners yelling at your girlfreind and making her cry this is the place to stay. The Manager was extraordinarily rude to myself, and to my girflreind. I would have to say, this was the worst experience at a hotel, ever! The owner of the hotel surely did not understand the concept of customer first.

8.0

The owner at this hotel makes the best coffee in Tuscany, in Italy, and perhaps even in Europe. The Scottish receptionist was particularly friendly and helpful and the handsome barman was tip-top and excellent. A really wonderful and obliging owner and staff This was better than a four star hotel we had recently stayed in in Spain.

7.8

A very friendly and welcoming staff not only in respect of hotel matters but also with information regarding local restaurants, transport and places to visit.

8.3

We stayed in a triple room and it was spacious and clean except for the bathroom which was tiny with barely room to move. The management was very nice and helpful with all my requests and questions. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is in a convenient location close to St. Mark piazza and to bus stops and nearby the train station. It doesn't have an elevator which maybe inconvenient for some people, it didn't bother me. Overall is a good deal for the price. We will stay again in the hotel on our next trip to Florence.

9.1

It is a very nice hotel, in a familiar ambiance. The rooms are well decorated and very clean. Also the breakfast is very good.

9.5

The on-site owners are cordial and helpful, and proud of their catalog of things-to-see-and-do. Their restaurant referral (Tito's Trattoria) was quite good. Breakfast is simple but nice.

9.9

We felt for a two star hotel we received excellent service and accomodations. The Location was good; away from all the tourist noises and yet close to the attractions. The owner gave us excellent suggestions for sights and even made our two gallery advance ticket arrangements. We definitely would return to the Cimabue.

5.8

The hotel personnel are very nice and very helpful, but the service is a bit sloppy. Towels were not changed the second day of stay and the bathroom lacked both soap and shampoo on the very first day. The room, which was facing the street was pretty noisy (even if windows do have double-glass panels) and the shower was located outside of the bathroom, on the hallway. Also, the smell of the public bathroom at the end of the hall could be felt all through the hallway. But, again, the welcoming atmosphere and the kindness offered by the hotel personnel make the stay at Cimabue worth the small inconveniences.

9.8

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. The room was great! Beautiful furniture and the ceiling had a fresco! I highly recommend this hotel.

8.4

Friendly and helpful staff;nicely decorated interior

9.8

Hotel Cimabue is a lovely B&B with excellent service. It is located close to the important sites and not far from the train/bus station. Although I had difficulty finding it, because I drove to Florence, the parking was in a safe and secure garage nearby. There is a wonderful trattoria called Tito's nearby. Great food, reasonably priced, and we felt welcome both times we ate there.

9.5

The Room was quite large for the price and the Service was just Great. They all spoke good English and realy went above and beyond typical hotel sevice to meet our needs.

7.7

Excellent family hotel near to the university (and facilities like cheap cafes and Internet cafes) in the St Marc's Square area. The hotel is quite old but comfortable and within easy walking distance of the centre. It's also close to several bus routes.
