My wife and I stayed here on vacation. The location was unbeatable, literally across the road from the Duomo. The room had a fantastic view of the Duomo, it was large, newly renovated with a spacious bathroom. Staff were great, breakfast good and price fantastic. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I stayed at this hotel, and would still go back. It is RIGHT beside the Duomo, very central. very secure (it is on the 4th floor so people can't just walk in from the street). My room was upgraded as I was a returning guest. The only complaint I have about this hotel is that the coffee is terrible (instant, I think). Rooms are very clean, beds comfortable, all recently renovated, pleasant staff. I will definitely stay there the next time I return to Florence.

Couldn't have been better for our 3 day stay. The price per night couldn't be beat...its a very nice hotel and the location was fantastic! We had an awesome view of the Duomo...felt like you could reach out & touch it! Very central location to all sites, basic but clean rooms, bathroom & shower was a bit larger then the standard European style, decent European type of breakfast if you want to grab some thing quick before heading out. The staff were very nice and there is a lift. Would stay there again. Oh, we loved hearing all the street activity...makes you feel like your in the heart of it all but if you're a light sleeper then ask for a room off of the street/Duomo side...But, you'll miss out on a fantastic view!

I was in Florence to give a talk at a conference at the Congress Center. The hotel was close to the Congress Center and everything I wanted to see in Florence. It was superb. I had a delightful view of Il Duomo. They gave me free internet. I would definitely stay there again.

I was staying with friends in Rome and they decided to go to Venice (where I had previously traveled) and I decided to go to Florence to see the museums, churches, and other works of art; we had joked about the samll size of my room at an upscale Roman hotel(220E per night); arriving at the Duomo, I had to laught when I discovered that my room there was even samller; however, the configurations was excellent and given the fact that it was for only one night and I spent minimun time in it, it was almost perfect; it was spotless and all electronic controls were accessible from the bed, including an excellent ceiling mounted digital TV; although the location of the hotel is central to the town (and a few minutes walk from the train station, as represented,) I had to circle the duomo twice and ask several merchants, before finding it, due to the numerous small alcoves and streets running off of the duomo piazza. The next morning I had two pleasant surprises: first the upscale continental breakfast was excellent, with hot drinks (i..e. coffee, tea etc)made fresh for each diner; I departed at 9:00am for a planned 12 hours of walking tours, prior to a 9:30pm departure of my train trip to rendezvous with my friends and a return to Rome; my only concern was a place to store my luggage for the days stroll around Florence when to my very great surprise the lady asked if I would like to leave them at the hotel for the day! Again, given the obviously central location of the hotel and the fact that I would be criss crossing the area several times during the day, it could not have been more convenient; highly recommended for the short term traveler; I will return to Florence again and will definately stay at the Hotel Duomo again, as well....wj

This was the first time I stayed in this hotel and it was beatiful. It is comfortable, clean and the surroundings are impressive. From the balcony it seems that you can touch the Dome with your hand... A recommendation: ask for a Dome-view room.

Hotel Duomo was efficient, clean and offered fabulous views of the Duomo. The concierge service was great and breakfast was not bad for the price of the room. It is centrally located as we walked to all of the main sites (Uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio) from the hotel. Very good price for the hotel.

Our room was at the top corner of the hotel. We were able to open our windows (2), one on each side of the building and be able to almost touch the Duomo, it was that close. Highly recommend the hotel for location alone. The room was good enough and the service was impecable. I'd stay there again, no question.

Great hotel, close to everything in Florence. The rooms were clean and newly decorated. The breakfast was good although they seemed to run short depending on your time of arrival for breakfast. The only criticism is noise from the street. If they do any further upgrades, I would suggest sound proof windows. We were at the front and some nights were really noisy until 2:00 am.

Perfect location just near the Duomo. Rooms are new and very clean, but a little noisy from the corridors. Breakfast is a little poor. If you have car be careful, we payed 55 Euro for only 32 hours. I recommend this hotel for the ones looking for a central location and good rooms.

Recently renovated, this is a small boutique hotel right on the Duomo square. It appears to be a well-kept secret as tour guides and other locals had never heard of it before. The hotel was easy to find and is right in the heart of Florence. We had an incredible view of the dome from our room. The hotel was very charming, and the location was perfect for sightseeing. The only draw backs were (1) the tiny 2-person elevator, (2) awakening to the bells of the Duomo each morning, and (3) the shriek of sirens at all hours because the volunteer ambulance service was parked just across the piazza.

This hotel has the perfect location! You can almost reach out and touch the Duomo from the breakfast room. I also liked the security of the hotel. It is in an old office building and you take an elegant 1940-film elevator to the Piano 4 (4th floor) where the reception desk is. My room, though small, was very nicely renovated, clean and new and an excellent value for the price. Most of the staff was very pleasant, although one of the women made me feel as though I was causing her an inconvenience if I spoke to her. The other thing was that they make instant coffee!!!! in Florence!!!! it was pretty disappointing. Otherwise, I really liked this hotel and would stay again. Nice restaurants very close, and of course the Duomo.

Easy to walk to all museums and shopping.

Great place for a short stay in Florence. Very welcoming staff. Astonishing location: a few meters from the Duomo! - Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet hôtel qui ne peut pas être mieux placé : tous les musées et lieux à visiter sont à quelques minutes à pied. Le personnel est très accueillant. Vue imprenable sur le Duomo. Un peu de bruit la nuit mais l'hôtel est équipé de double vitrage et la vue vaut largement ce petit incovénient.

I stayed here for four nights together with my wife and our youngest daughter aged 12. The hotel was very impressive, located on the 4th floor across the street from the duomo. Very quiet despite the mid-city location, our three-bedded room was spacious enough, and the bathroom was also spacious and always very clean. The location is excellent, you cannot come closer to the main attractions. The staff was very helpful, no language problems, as most of them spoke english well. The breakfast was ordinary, as expected. We will definitely stay at this hotel when we come back to visit Firenze.

Perfectly located, our room faced the side of the Duomo. 10 minutes walk from the station and everything in Florence is within easy walking distance. Lift to the hotel reception on the fourth floor is small and elderly, but the hotel itself is lovely- rooms are newly and tastefully refurbished, we had an excellent bathroom (although no bath). Staff are charming. We stayed in September when it was cool enough to have the windows closed and the air con switched off- but suspect it could be noisy if you like to sleep with windows open.

Imagine our delight as we pulled back the curtains to the windows in our room and our view is filled with the beautiful colors of the Duomo itself - absolutely breathtaking. We arrived on foot from the train station, and had no trouble finding the hotel, but there was a strange man in the lobby of the hotel, sitting in front of the elevator, so we climbed the four floors up to the hotel lobby. That was the only incident, and I don't think it's a regular occurance, as the hotel staff was quick to take care of the man. Our room was just perfect, and even though I had not requested a cot for my young son, they had one made up for him. We had a wonderful breakfast every morning with many things to choose from. I would highly recommend this the Hotel Duomo!

The thing that sets The Hotel Duomo aside from other hotels in the price range is the location. You would have to move your bed into the Cathedral to be any closer to it! It was almost as if we could reach our hand out of the bedroom window and touch the walls of the Duomo. This did mean that the area was busy day and night, with tourists and touts making quite a bit of noise. We had the windows closed and aircon on due to the heat, but If we had had to open the windows I think the noise would have put us off. The room was very nicely decorated, very spacious for a european city. The hotel staff were competent, friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was more than sufficient (cereals, breads, cold cuts, cheese, patisserie, coffee, juice etc - as much as you want). The best thing about the hotel is the location, which is unbeleivably good. You can walk very easily to every attraction in Florence; Duomo&Baptistry&Giotto's Bell tower-outside your door, Uffizi-5 minute stroll, Palazzo Vecchia-5 minutes stroll, San Lorenzo-3 minutes, Palazzo Pitti-10 minute stroll. We walked from the train station to the hotel, which at 4pm in the heat and with our suitcases was not very comfortable, even though it was only about half a km away. The hotel is very easy to find - look for the dome of the Duomo!

This is the best hotel I've stayed in. Great location - amazing to be so close to the Duomo and have a view of it from the balcony. Piazza Duomo seems to be the centre of things in Florence so staying here makes everything easily accessible. Because you are so close to all the attractions it means you can go out in the morning then return to the hotel during the day to have a rest without wasting too much time. The hotel is extremely clean and the staff very helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here. I have already returned once. Great value for money.

Excellent hotel and absolutely perfect location. Hotel is on the fourth floor and there is a lift (elevator) or stairs to use to ascend (on occasion the lift was not available). Rooms are decorated in a very modern mahogany and suede type deoration. Bathroom was again very modern. The staff were always attentive and very helpful. The icing on the cake was the balcony and the view from it - the Duomo at eave height and only about 50 feet away. Hotel Duomo is so conveniently and centrally located that I often came back to it to drop purchases and gifts off, or in one case to shelter from a quick storm. All in all an excellent hotel and worth the money.

Hi, we choose hotel Duomo because of its location: just outside Brunelleschi's Duomo and Giotto's Campanile. In addition it's just few steps away from Ponte Vecchio and Piazzale della Signoria, Lots of good restaurants and shops around! Service's quality as professionalism of its employees are both of high level. Night time there may be just a little bit noisy, but.. that's Italy!

Hotel had recently been updated. Spacious rooms and bathrooms. Bed was very comfortable. The location is good and bad. Right across from Duomo, and heart of city. So, being right across from Duomo during spring break means hearing the voices from the street below. And the romantic bells of the Duomo, and nearby churches, but they also ring at night. I only wish the windows had screens on them to keep the mosquitoes out. I would stay here again, but bring ear plugs and keep the windows closed.

I cannot rate the hotel, as when I arrived on the day scheduled, construction work was in progress that prohibited our accomodation. However, management had booked an alternate room at a nearby hotel, "Hotel Cavour" at the same rate. That hotel was very satisfactory and also well-located. I would highly recommend this establishment. Meanwhile, the apology by the Duomo manager seemed genuine. He explained that the contractor performing work at his place had fallen behind. I appreciated his overall handling. My remarks concern the Hotel Cavour.

This hotel is impossible to reach by car! We followed the Italian custom of disregarding pedestrian-only signs, one-way streets, and taxi-only lanes and finally managed to get to a place to park illegally. I stayed with the car, and my husband found the poorly marked hotel on foot. The hotel is one floor of an ancient building, and it is small! The employees were nice and helpful, and the Duomo was right outside our window, too close even to photograph well. We would go again.

Only stayed one night, but really should have stayed longer as we missed visiting some other sights. 10 min walk from the railroad terminal. Would stay at the hotel Duomo again.

The room was so TINY, I barely had room for my two suitcases. And the twin bed took a little getting used to since I normally sleep in a full size bed. However, the location was excellent. Everything was within a 20-25 minute walk from the hotel. This is a miminum amenity hotel but if all you're looking for is a decent place to sleep at night, it fits the bill.

Our triple room was truly sized for 3 adults, clean, and looked right onto the upper architecture of the Duomo. Elevator from street to lobby was appreciated. Perfect location for everything we wanted to do in Florence, in easy walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was great. It was definitely a place I'd return to or recommend to anyone.

This hotel set the standard for the rest of our stay in Italy. Location is unparalleled, midway between the Uffizi and Academia galleries, and across from the Duomo. Property starting on the fourth floor mitigated any possible street noise, ie: very quiet. Staff was wonderful, even after many trips in the lift (was acting up during our stay). Would stay here again, without question.

great location/ rooms very tight/ The hotel could give more detailed direction to find the hotel the first time. (they are located on the 4th floor of a building) Breakfast was all "cold" items. May want to add 'hot' items which are available at other hotels.

A wonderful deal for rates and location. The staff were outstanding. We would stay there in a minute! Once the showers are updated, this will be the perfect hotel!

This was the biggest room we had the whole entire trip. The housekeeping was excellent. It was right across the street from the Duomo Cathedral and in walking distance to everything. Great Place

A super stay in a lovely, welcoming hotel with a friendly and extremely helpful staff. The room was on with a balcony facing the Duomo and we spent a lovely early evening watching the edifice change colour from white to salmon pink. Breakfast was good with as reasonable selection of typical Italian foodstuffs as any other hotel of a similar standard, although the croissants were packaged not fresh! We couldn't fault the friendliness nor the competence of the staff - well done. For location, quality and price, it's a must and we will stay there on any return trip to Florence. Highly recommended!

C'était un hôtel sympa avec une vue magnifique sur la cathédrale (le bruit des cloches ne dérangeant en rien puisque ne sonnant pas tout le temps). Le petit-déjeuner était parfait avec un large choix et à volonté. Juste un point négatif la poussière peu faite dans la chambre, mais ça allait quand même, la salle de bain petite mais très bien aussi. Mais le plus important c'est que l'hôtel est parfaitement situé, au centre de tous les itinéraires de la plupart des guides touristiques. Nous y retournerons si nous revenons à Florence!

The hotel is very charming and comfortable. it is in a fantastic location...right next to the Duomo. It was very difficult to find. The directions of it's actual location need to be more clearly defined. It is on the 4th story of the building, and was difficult to recognize as a hotel from the street. It is clean and comfortable. We had 2 triple rooms and they were plenty spacious. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel was quite adequate for a family group of 3 adults and 2 children. It was located within walking distance from hop on/hop off bus and the rail/bus terminal. Katerina was extremely helpful especially when we arrived late by handling the pickup and parking of our rental car. She was a pleasure and extremely helpful in handling any request we had. The hotel was located in the center of activity with plenty of shops, pizzarias and tratorias nearby and not far from an Internet point and wash/dry facility. One caution may be the mosquito problem from a nearby rooftop. Don't sleep with the window open if this is the case. In all likelihood I would stay in this hotel again if the occasion arose.

This is a wonderful location, right next to the Duomo in Florence. It was easy to walk from here to all the things we wanted to see. It was a short ride from the train station by cab, but it wouldn't have been a bad walk either.

My sister and I loved this hotel. The staff were wonderful. Breakfast was great too. You couldn't get any closer to the Duomo! We had a beautiful view from our room. Ask for number 40 if it's available.

Excellent location -- view of the Duomo and all major sites within 20 minute walk. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. With the windows closed you could not hear the street noise and the room was air conditioned so even though the temperature during our stay was in the high 90F, there was no problem sleeping. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The location was excellent. Right across the street from the Duomo cathedral, it was a central site, and that made it easy to get to the various sights since Florence is very walkable. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Katerina who helped us with bus directions to the Piazzale Michelangiolo across the river and recommendations to eat in that area (that trip was well worth the time). The rooms were clean and more than adequately sized. The bathroom and shower were adequate with plenty of hot water, but no hair dryer. Towels were very good. The breakfast was adequate with some rolls, pastries, cereal, fruit, yogurt, espresso juices and cappuccino. I would stay here again.

This hotel is located directly across from the Duomo on the north side on the 4th floor of the building -- but has a lift.. As such, the location was convenient to all the museums and sites. Hotel and rooms were well kept, clean and spacious by European standards. The only drawback was that the showers were the type where you pull a curtain around the drain in the floor. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend the hotel and would consider staying here again.

We needed somewhere central as we took our mother's aged 72 and 81! The hotel was right beside the Duomo and was perfect for us to make short journeys to all the sights and eating places for lunch and dinner. We even felt totally safe returning at night after a very late dinner as it was lit by the Duomo square lights.

If you like hearing church bells at all hours, than stay at this hotel. Overall, the service and helpfulness at this hotel was very poor.

The hotel may have not been the most attractive, however the service that we received from the employees was quite exceptional. On service alone I would highly recommend this hotel, as well as the location

Hotel Duomo is housed in an interesting building within walking distance of most of the sights to see in Florence. For me it was an added bonus to be woken by the cathedral bells. The staff I found to be exceptionally helpful. I would definitely make a return visit.
