Hotel Delle Camelie - Florence

9.3

The hotel staff made the experience special. The room was spacious and comfortable. I especially recommend a restaurant near the hotel called the Vinolio. It specializes in wine and served the best food we had in Italy. Try the toasted polenta with wild boar and the chestnut mousse.

9.4

We enjoyed the homely quality of this hotel. We felt welcome and comfortable.

8.9

A good hotel, clean and friendly. The breakfast was spartan but very good. The gentleman at front desk was exceptionally kind and prone to help. I enjoyed my staying at this hotel in Florence.

7.3

No refrigerator, breakfast has only bread, no vegetables, cheese or eggs

8.8

I was extremely disappointed to discover that the shower had no curtain or partition whatsoever, resulting in the bathroom flooding with each shower. Also you have to step up about 8 inches, just to enter the bathroom. Otherwise, very nice hotel. All staff, with the exception of one young man, were eager to help. Continental breakfast rather basic, but fresh.

8.3

Staff was very friendly and ready to accommodate us and make us feel comfortable. The interior of rooms has some drawbacks such as floor covering and size of shower cabins, but these are neutralized to some extent by the spaciousness of rooms and the number of hangers in the wardrobe.

8.5

Alberto was wonderful. He clearly is proud of his hotel. It was listed as a 3 star but was a 2 star. The room was tiny but clean and all that we needed. The neighborhood looked rough, but we found it was safe, close enough to the center of town and very safe with very good restaurants close by.It was a 5 star 2 star hotel.

Hotel Delle Camelie was the best value for money of all the hotels I stayed in in Italy.It was clean, comfortable and felt safe. It is in a location that allows easy access to tourist spots and the station - all were within walking distance. Despite being close to the major sights in Florence the hotel location, in a small street, means it is quiet. The staff were friendly and gave helpful tourist information. I heartily recommend this hotel.

8.5

good value fo money.convenient for centre.dont require busses or taxis. very clean hotel and suitable for 2 to 3 nights.

9.8

Hotel Delle Camilie is a gem. I chose this hotel mainly because of its location - proximity to Fortezza da Basso and the Santa Maria Novella train station in Florence where I attended an international meeting for 5 days. It is within 10 min walk from the train station, not very easy to find if you do not have a detailed street map. The hotel owner Antonio is an English-speaking, quiet nice Italian man (local) who stays during the day (7:30 am to 6 pm or so) and readies breakfast (coffee or tea, juice, croissants and jams) for guests. In the evening, five college students take turn to keep watch. All of them were very helpful. The room I booked was huge, with a double and a twin beds. The only shortcomings were the small bathroom and inconsistent supply of hot water in the shower after 7-7:30 am. The maid forgot to change our sheets on a few days, but we were totally fine with that. Wireless internet signal was not great, but Antonio charges only 1 euro per 30 min use of his computer in the lobby (available most of the time). The room we're in was very quiet, and the beds comfortable. One other guest told us she had roaches coming out of the shower/sink drains in her bathroom, but I could not verify this (she gladly stayed for three weeks despite that). Florence is a small town and one can cover all major sight-seeing places by walking. For the very reasonable price we paid, I think Hotel Delle Camelie is a great choice.

7.9

The hotel completely fulfilled my expectations. It is ideal for city tourists, there were many couples. I could use my room early in the morning after the train arrived!!

9.4

Perfect for get a room in a cool city just for sleep, good service!

9.2

Excellent hotel with fantastic host.

9.3

Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è eccellente, il proprietario è molto cordiale e disponibile, i servizi un po' piccoli, ma tutto è molto pulito

9.1

clean, quiet, comfortable and affordable. Antonio is a wonderful host.

8.1

The staff is primarily the owner and family, along with Caroline, a school teacher in "real" life. All were kind, outgoing and made the stay a pleaure. The hotel itself is small and basic, though clean. Location is good and the area is quiet. Breakfast is typical Med...no hot food, just various breads and jams, excellent coffee!

8.8

The room was as described, and quaint. Bathroom was small as is typical in Italy, but room size for 4 of us was large and clean, which are the most impt factors. The main bed was a little soft as the springs were old, but slept comfortably. The service and care was great and Antonio was a great host, giving us very good advice and suggestions. I enjoyed the hospitality and the hotel is very ideally located for travellers by train and is very close to all the attractions.

8.6

The door to the main entrance says to ring the bell, but try the door first! It was open, and I was embarrassed. The main concierge spoke English well, and was very friendly and welcoming. The room was a bit small, but there was room to move around, and the shower was nice (although you have to put your shampoo etc on the floor). The bed was comfy, although it looks a bit like a fold-out couch. The blinds are a bit tricky - look for the strap on the right (pull down to open, and pull out and up to close!). Oh, there is no hair dryer, so bring your own if you need one! Apart from taking a taxi to and from the train station, we were able to walk everywhere else in Florence we wanted to visit. Be sure not to miss the statue of David. Your map to the museum it's housed in may fail to mention that the door is on the side (in case you have trouble finding it). Oh, and the breakfast is very nice - he brings you espresso and steamed milk for your latte, and the bread was fresh.

9.9

After viewing the comments, I worried a bit about the hotel location, being afraid that it is hard to reach by foot. It turned out that I overworried. Although it is not right in city center, everything is within confortable walking distance. Besides this area is full of restaurants, good for your quest for italian food. The ower, Antonio, is extremely friendly and helpful. When we asked about train schedule to Pisa, he assured he would do it for us. There was 4-page printout of train schedule waiting for us on the counter when we returned hotel in the evening, so worry free! For sure he speaks fluent English. If you are looking for a simple yet secure and comfort stay in Florence, I highly recommend you Hotel Delle Camelie.

6.6

Well, it was just OK. Nothing much to highlight both negative or positive. The decoration is old and seems to need redecoration. The conspicious thing about room is the tall ceiling 4 meter or even may be higher so it gives very spacious feeling. The location is close to train station and a big park where there is a flea market on Sundays biweekly and is next to Piezza Independenta and not so close but also not far from main squares, attraction areas. Rooms were clean and breakfast OK, coffee was real nice and also fresh juice :). Staff was alright too, and answers questions raised to them and helpful. And despite being next to a busy road it is not noisy (1 block behind it). I guess it is one of the options in this price range.

8.8

Hotel is a bit far from the train station and from the city center, but I would stay in this hotel again. The manager was very helpful and really nice. May I suggest that management add tea-making facilty in the rooms?

8.2

This was my second stay at this hotel. It was clean and had a larger room than most hotels. It wasn't anything fancy, but a good value for the price. The gentleman at the front desk was helpful and they even had a service come and pick up your car to park it in a garage and then deliver it when you went to leave. There is no parking on the street and the near by garages were expensive, this worked out well.

8.8

Very nice and quiet hotel with lovely staff. Somewhat old and no fridge but clean and we had a good night sleep. Close to the center and trainstation. I would highly recommend this hotel for persons with avarage standards.

7.7

Ottima posizione, Buona accoglienza. Buono servizio qualità prezzo. Quiete apprezzabile. Colazione un po scadente

10

We had an amazing time on florence thanks to delle camelie and the staff there! They were extremely helpful and very knowledgable.

1.5

this is a hotel to avoid, grubby, dirty, and worn out, the worst 2 star that we have stayed in. we booked for three nights but left after two. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

9.0

Friendly helpful staff. Good restaurant suggestions. Especially Guelfa (very close) and Centro Poveri. Good location for many attractions and bus. Short walk to railroad station. Don't be put off by dated appearance of the lobby and rooms. Rooms one flight up no elevator.

8.4

This was an excellent, small hotel, ideally suited for walking into the centre of town. Price-wise, it was excellent value for money. We would definitely stay there again.

10

Antonio is a good manager as he speaks English well. The rooms have high ceilings the bed comforable. The hotel is old and the wood furnishings have character. Antonio called a tour company for me and i spent and entire day visiting many cities and towns in Tuscany.I must add the hotel was very clean.

9.7

This is a wonderful little establishment, just off the beaten track but very close to everything. The staff is outstanding and totally service-oriented. Great value and a very good price during our three day stay. The only noise (and it can get very noisy in the tourist areas of Florence) came from a neighbour's dog. We never saw him but he had a very significant bark which he used on several occasions during our stay. Never, however, early in the morning.

9.2

This was my first stay at Hotel Delle Camelie. I was visiting my daughter in Florence and she lives right upstairs, so the location was perfect for me. Also very convenient to the train station and a quick jaunt from the airport. Within walking distance of all the great sites of Florence. The hotel is basic, not fancy or luxurious, but who wants to be in their room in Florence? It was clean and the operator, Antonio, is a gem, a truly wonderful human being - nice, helpful, friendly. I stayed for 2 full weeks and never tired of talking with him. Everyone else was nice, too. There's a nice little patio outside to sit out on in nice weather, if you do hang out around the hotel. I wholeheartedly recommend the hotel for any traveler who doesn't insist on 4 stars. The only problem I had the whole 2 weeks was that the lamp near the bed had a loose plug and would cut in and out some. I'm sure Antonio would have fixed it if I'd complained, but I didn't.

8.1

My wife and I stayed for 2nights and found the hotel to be exactly as described.It's great value for money for a short stay in Florence. Location is good, rooms very clean, staff very friendly and helpful.Continental breakfast tea/coffee, fruit juice was included. We would stay here again on our next trip to Florence.

9.4

Would stay there again.

9.9

The B&B, Hotel Delle Camelie was perfect for us - inexpensive, good location, clean, comfortable,and a tiny balcony overlooking a courtyard. Antonio and his staff were helpful and friendly. This is a fantastic cost-effective choice. Excellent value for cost. I would defntely stay here again.

9.8

Owner Anotonio is the best!!

8.3

My daughter and I had twin room, with good sized ensuite. The manager attended to most needs and the breakfast service himself and nothing was too much trouble. His customer service and attitude was great and what most hotels should offer. Good location in relation to the main station and buses etc. Yes, would stay there again.

9.4

The Delle Camelie was great. On a quiet street within walking distance of the train station and basically everything else in Florence. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the typical European breakfast: coffee and several kinds of bread. The room was small, but clean. Overall it was well worth the price.

10

This hotel is in a good location, close to the sites, but on a quieter road. Service was excellent and rooms were good size. Furniture a bit dated, but still fine. Breakfast was good.

7.9

My boyfiend and I spent a wonderful weekend in Florence I recommend to all of you. The hotel was very good placed between the center and the S. Maria Novella Station. The room was very big but a litle of powder we found, my boyfriend it´s very allergic so you can imagine...But in other words, it was very good, confortable bed, hot water and very quite.

8.8

Excellent location and not too noisy. Very helpful staff. Nice fresh bread rolls and good coffee in the morning. High ceilings in room. Much nicer atmosphere than an expesnive hotel we stayed in later that week.

8.0

Good standard if a little tired. Antonio was on the desk from morning til nite and always cheerful and very helpful. Easy walk from the station and within easy walking of all the major attractions in Firenze. In a quiet street with a terrific and cheap little cafe directly opposite. Great for pizza, pasta and groceries. Simple beakfast of coffee and rolls.Top little trattoria around the corner.

9.6

nice place, very nice man who welcomed us, close to the train station, close to buses places, nice breakfast, very good place to stay. director speaks french fluently. told us where to eat, and dinner was fine. we did enjoy the stay.

7.6

It was not bad on the whole but the towels were not changed every day and the space was rather small. Still it is rather close to the station and to the center of the city and we could explore it by foot.

9.4

The hotel is in an old building, so the rooms are really big (and high). Everything was clean and personnal was correct. Location is good, you can walk to the Doumo, Piaza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and train station. Beside the Galleria degli Uffizi I recommend the Palazzo Vecchio, and the gardens of the Palazzo Pitti.

9.7

The hotel is nearby the most museums and churches you want to see,breakfast was good and enought.The room was clean,quiet and cheap. The management was very helpful(we asked about some restaurants and monuments). Next September when we finish Fiera Macef in Milan,we want to come again in Florence and stay at the same Delle Camelie.

9.4

Bien situé et le personnel est très courtois. Une adresse à recommander.

9.9

This hotel was recommanded to us by friends, and we were not disappointed: the room was spacious, quiet, clean, and cheap; the management was very helpful (good advice on restaurants). Would definitely stay there again.

8.0

Staff were very frindly and helpful. Room was a little dated but had everything you could wood. Breakfast, again, simple but good. Location was a very quiet street near the station about a 10 minute walk from the action with a few decent bars closer by.

9.6

Highly recommended for its character and welcome. Not too far from station, and since Florence is such a compact city, not far from the major attractions either. Also, situated in a more residential area, so perfect for getting to sleep etc.

8.7

We loved our stay at Delle Camelie, mainly due to its owner signor antonio - a very warm-earted and welcoming gentleman, who helped us at every occasion. The hotel has everything a 2-star "soggiorno" could offer. the only drawback was that there were no food stores in the vicinity (the closest within 15 min. walk from it). However, there was a fine bakery right opposite with a nice pizza and calzone, and the railway station just a few blocks from the property.

7.7

i have stayed this hotel one night; it a litle noisy in the morning because of the location of the hotel (it is close to street)but if i will got o firenze again I will stay here again. good location;nice staff;cofortable rooms...

7.8

Wonderful staff. not making this up. Wonderful.

7.8

It was nice to stay there considering the price, but when we arrived at the first day the bed cover looked old and not really clean, but they provides clean, new sheets and linnen as nomal. Overall good. The staff (I think he was owner) was very gentle and kind!!

9.7

Excellent! Really nice staff, only 10-15 mins to center and everything was so easy to reach. I would say that you should probably get a taxi to the hotel from the station if you arrive at night as it's too dark to follow instructions properly when you're tired as i was - taxis are great and not a rip off as they are on a meter. Try to ask where to go in Italian as the taxi drivers are one of the few lovely people who didn't speak English. Great value for money. We had a massive room and breakfast was nice, even took it to my room when i had a lazy morning. Clean towels and bedding. Couldn't ask for more for the price. Would highly recommend. (Get the number 7 to Fiesole, it's a wonderful small village in the mountains with a great view).

7.8

Hotel is a short walk from the train station and about 15-20 minutes walk from the center. Very friendly staff. I had a single room with shared bathroom, which was right next to my room and always very clean. Considering the price of accommodation in Florence, Hotel Delle Camelie is good value. I spent four nights there and was quite comfortable.

8.2

Delle Camellie is a hotel that has very good location. Walking distance to the major sites. Car parking available in the street outside the hotel, not much traffic. When walking to major sites, careful with some areas. Walk fast, hide your camera and everything is fine. For that price, I would look somewhere else.

8.3

My mother and I took a trip through Italy and stayed here during our stay in Florence. The walk from the train station is a little intimidating, but once we got to the hotel, we felt very safe. It seems a little bit of a distance from the major sites, such as the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchia, however it was about 4 blocks from the Academia. The neighborhood was very quiet, but hardly any restaurants near our hotel. The kind older gentleman that ran the hotel was extremely helpful and friendly and kind. I felt safe having him watch the door. I didn't feel very safe in the evenings, so we stayed in. The place was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast is typical for Italy. We would definetely stay here again if we came back.

5.2

The hotel staff were friendly and the room ok but the fact that the room did not have a bathroom was definitely a minus. The surrounding area was quiet but I would not recommend single travelers to come back to the hotel late in the evening as it did not feel safe. The train station is close by, only a ten minute walk away. The breakfast served consisted of a piece of white bread with jam and coffee or tea.

9.8

I stayed here a week and was very happy with all accommodations. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet; the bathroom facilities modern. The manager was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

9.5

I really enjoyed. Service was good, staff was good. It is the best possibility with the amount charged.

9.3

We had a room with a window facing the courtyard, and it was extremely quiet. We were very impressed by the kindness and the warm welcome we received by the staff. Breakfast is served in a lovely little room off the entrance. It was a very simple, European breakfast of rolls, jam and hot beverage. It is just a 10 or 15 minute walk to the Duomo and other sites from this hotel. We enjoyed a restaurant right around the corner, and there is also a great gelateria in the neighborhood. It was also close to the train station, so we walked there. We would stay at the Hotel Delle Camelie again if we returned to Florence.

9.6

Antonio Mainolfi (the owner) is an excellent host and speaks very good english. The room my mom and I got was quiet and very very spacious specially whe you think of what we paid! The bathroom was very nice and clean, rather newly redecorated och the beds were grate! This was the best trip ever and if you´re looking for a nice, small, family run hotel , this is it. A short stroll to the city center ( 10 min) and the nicest little Tabacc and deli around the corner. Since hotel prices in high season is quite high we certanly got more than we paid for. We recommend this to anyone who rather spend money on shopping, nice wines and sightseeing rather than a more luxurious hotel.

8.7

We (family with two children, 13 and 11) stayed in Feb/March for 3 nights. After coming from a bright cheerful hotel in Sorrento, the Delle Camelie seemed rather gloomy in its decor and layout, but the rooms were spacious enough, with comfortable beds, OK showers and very good value. Welcome was professional and the young men on night duty were happy to provide drinks, etc. Breakfast was the usual. Location is OK, ten minutes walk from the station and 15 minutes stroll into central Florence. I'd probably spend a little more money next time and get somewhere brighter and closer to the centre, but for 60e per room per night, the DC was just right.

8.9

The directions are perfect. Easy to find. An easy 10 minute walk from the train station. The area is safe to walk at night alone. Very nice staff, immediately you feel welcome, at home and safe. Located on a side street (low to no traffic noise) with a beautiful courtyard. My room was spacious and clean. Included a U.S. style electric plug for my electric shaver. Breakfast was very good, the coffee was very good and plentiful. The owner speaks excellent English and is very helpful and pleasant to talk with. Overall I would highly reccommend this hotel. I will go back the next time I am in Florence.

9.4

great wellcoming, rooms very clean and big,quite area, very very sincerely suggested

9.4

The Hotel Delle Camelie has an excellent relationship between price/quality and the quietness of the rooms is very good. The location is perfect both for reaching the hotel and for visiting the city. The owner, Mr. Antonio, is competent and likeable.

9.3

This hotel is a great bargain considering what you get for the price. The staff is very friendly and the location is a short walk from the train station. I paid 35 EUROS for a single room in low season (Dec 07. My only advise is to mind the fact that there is no elevator in the hotel so travel light.

8.7

A clean, quiet and well situated "budget" hotel, with a lovely welcome from the proprietor. We asked for a quiet room, and this was actioned. Breakfast basic but as expected in Italy. Would certainly recommend.

8.1

Although this is a small hotel, it is in a quiet area, but within 15 minutes walk of all Florece's major city centre attractions. Friedly, helpful and accommodating - very good! There are also some excellent reataurants within 5 minutes - just ask the owner.

9.3

The staff was more than helpful with all questions presented. The rooms were very big and easily accomidating for my girlfriend and I. They even had a 110 outlet for american appliances. For 90 euro a night, the room with the service, as well as the location to all the main attractions, was more than worth the price that was paid. A big appreciation goes to the staff who will definately have my business again the next time I am in Florence.

9.7

retirement vacation

6.6

Very poor breakfast comparing to other hotels,only croissant and bread roll,no cheese or yogurt.

9.6

Antonio is a most gracious host. The hotel is pleasantly located with a park (piazza) separating it from the action. Therefore quiet and convienient

9.0

My first room on the street side was terribly noisy from the traffic, but when I moved to a room on the court yard, it was very quiet. The breakfast is a little skimpy, but adequate.

10

Hotel Delle Camelie exceeded our expectations in cleanliness and quietness. The location was within easy walking distance of the tourist sights. The staff were very pleasant and very accommodating.

7.8

The staff at the hotel were extremely welcoming and helpful. It is very good value for money.

8.9

We were only in Florence for one night. This hotel was nice. The room was large and the bathroom and room were clean. Nothing too impressive, but a nice stay.

8.6

Owner was very gracious in serving us breakfast, even though we were late. Rooms are not fancy but are clean. Ours overlooked a courtyard. Hotel is a converted convent. Near a nice local park and a short walk to train station. We'd go back.

9.6

Très joli hôtel. Le personnel est très sympathique et parle français. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et les chambres sont charmantes. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent pour Florence. Je recommande vraiment cet hôtel.

7.6

The location is good, a convenient walk to the Duomo area. The staff was helpful. Rooms were a bit noisy due to the tile floors, but otherwise comfortable and as expected. There is no lift, so be advised hefting heavy bags can be a bit of a challenge. The shower is also small, but it does the job. A no-frills hotel that provides a nice night's sleep at a decent price.

10

We stayed 2 nights, arriving and departing by train. The hotel is only a 10-minute walk away, but a taxi might be necessary from the station unless you travel very light, and have a detailed map of the many small streets in the area. Overall experience was great: quiet, good continental breakfast, friendly and helpful receptionist, good restaurants next to a nearby park. Duomo is 20-minute walk away, Uffizi Museum and Vecchio Bridge 30-35 minutes. Strongly recommended.

8.7

We loved our stay at Delle Camelie. It was close enough for everything to be in walking distance but it is in a quiet street so no noise at night.

9.1

Unforgettable impression of hotel, owing to diligence of its present owner Antonio. House conditions, attention and kindliness will for a long time be remembered to us. Vam Antonio's thanks for magnificent reception.Galina from Moscow

8.4

Would recommend this hotel for value for money, comfortable room and hospitality/helpfulness of owner and staff. Delle Camelie is within easy walking distance from station, bus station and coach terminal. Directions easy to follow. Located in quiet street - opposite delicatesan, and near to cafe and a few other shops. (Small supermarket not far either.) Stayed in single room which had comfortable 3/4 size bed.Furniture not new but adequate.Tiled floor. Very quiet on ground floor. Room was described as without bath but in fact I had sole use of the shower room next door. No air fresheners or other chemical smells to cause problems to anyone like myself with sensitivities. Close to centre of Florence - near piazza del Independenza. Found it an ideal location for visiting all sights in and around Florence by foot or City tour bus (from bus station). Patron spoke English and seemingly several other languages as well. Desk apparently manned at all times and owner happy to book taxi, tickets for art gallery etc. Continental breakfast of assorted bread, croissant, packet toast, butter, jams, honey, tea, coffee etc. Small bar for hot and cold drinks etc in reception room. I look forward to staying in Florence and at this hotel again. (Rated website photos and types and room numbers as 6 because can't remember/don't know).

9.0

a little bit far from the train station and had difficulty locatin the hotel ( use via NAZIONALE as an indication to get to the hoteL)MUCH QUICKER.

9.6

Our host Antonio was most gracious and helpful. He made our stay very welcoming and enjoyable. We hope to visit him again.

8.5

Hotel Delle Camelie is a clean, quiet, simple place, serviced by friendly staff.

9.8

This is a very good hotel. The price is reasonable, and the room is very comfortable. The most impressive is the friendly attitude of the staffs. You feel they take you as a real invited person, instead of a simply customer. You will have the feeling to be repected and to be trusted. Some people might think its location a problem, because it is not really in the very center of the tourist area (though it takes only 6-7 minutes to walk to the train station). But because of that, this hotel can get rid of the noises on the crowded streets. There's also a small park in the corner of the hotel. You can enjoy a pleasant evening there even if you have only a sandwich and a bottle of water.

9.8

This is a great find for a hotel in Florence. The room is large and clean. Breakfast is simple but good. The owner is so welcoming and helpful! He recommended a resturtant and it became our favorite! It is off the beaten path which is nice because it is quiet at night. It was within a 10-15 min walk everywhere we went in Florence. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Florence!

10

Basic, but clean and tidy hotel, in handy location to all Florence attractions. Could not fault it for the price. Significantly cheaper than many of the other hotels in Florence. The host was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again, if on a budget.

9.4

A pleasant hotel, within walking distance of the railway station and especially close to the Fortessa exhibition centre. Very good value for money with a very welcoming host called Antonio. Nice ensuite shower room, air conditioning, tv and crisp white bed linen. I'd recommend this place to anyone on a budget.

8.9

Very nice, small hotel located north of the main part of the city - around a 15 min walk to the Duomo. Close to street markets and internet/laundry facilities down the road. 5 minute walk from Main train station. Easy to find. Room was quite large, clean and had everything needed. Breakfast was included and was quite good - very personal service. Staff were very helpful and friendly (some of the best staff we have encountered on our holiday through Europe). Would definately stay here again.

9.8

This is a lovely, small and very easily accessed hotel run by a very nice family who make you feel very welcome. It's location in relation to the train station makes it very appealing and it is also within easy reach of all tourist attractions. If you're lucky enough to have the time on your trip be sure to pay a visit to other local places such as Fiesole, Pisa and Lucca. Tuscany is a really beautiful place and I feel this hotel has a very homely feel to compliment the stay.

8.8

We stayed in a double room at Delle Camelie for two nights. The room was quite good with a (working) AC and all that. Only problem we faced there, which is also very common in many hotels in Italy, is that there is no lift. One has to carry one's luggage up by stairs. I should also note here that the person at the reception offered to help us in carrying our luggage. The hotel is situated very conveniently in the city as one can walk from there to many interesting places nearby. I would recommend this hotel to everyone going to Florence.

7.8

We were pleased with our accomodations for the 2 nights we were in Florence. We received good information and directions regarding the surrounding areas and sites we wanted to see. Antonio was very friendly and helpful. And we even had breakfast under the Bottecelli!

4.7

The hotel was situated nicely between the central station and the city centre. The breakfast was not worth a penny, go to a local coffee shop instead!

8.9

I was over the moon with the hotel, it was really quaint, cool and quiet.The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location for us was spot on, near enough to walk to everything, but not on the main road. We were right next to a pretty little park that the locals used regularly and there was even a little bar in it for a cold bottle of beer. The breakfast was basic - but as expected and enough for us.I would go back again in a flash and am already looking for a flight, what a fantastic place.

8.8

The Hotel Delle Camelie is situated about 10 minutes walk from the Santa Maria Novelle Railway Station and Bus station. From these stations it is easy to organise trips to Lucca, Pisa, Sienna etc. and trains run, via Pisa Centrale to Pisa Airport. Note the SITA bus station is situated at the opposite end from the main entrance to the S.M. N. railway station behind the shops and offices. Nearly all of the Florence sites (Duomo, Vechio Bridge etc) are within walking distance. For example the Duomo is about 20 minutes away through the fascinating narrow Florence streets. The hotel is situated on a quiet street, the Via di Barbano, and consists of some 10 rooms. Breakfast is a typical continental breakfast consisting of orange juice, tea/coffee, croissants and rolls with plenty of jams and butter. There is a small bar. The staff is friendly and understand and speak English. The Manager Mainolfi Antonio is a friendly and approachable and helpful chap. Rooms are clean and comfortable and have individual air conditioning units controlled within the room. The furniture is functional. Hair dryers are not provided in the room and so it is advisable to take a travelling hair dryer (with appropriate plug adaptor!). The room rate paid was 100 Euros per night. An ideal hotel for visitors wanting to explore all day and just have somewhere quiet and comfortable to sleep before the next days exploring adventures.

If I come back to Florence, i would love to stay here again and/or highly recommended. The owner and staff provided an incredible feel of hospitality. Morever, they are friendly, funny, and very helpful. We got room on second floor with a balcony - what a treat! Quite, cozy, and very peaceful. Breakfast (typical European style) is a bonus since you don't have to worry about it. Got up, get ready, and breakfast is waiting for you. The room is supper clean and the hotel is easy to locate. We am very satisfied.
