Top Florence Hotel Reviews

Art Hotel Villa Agape

Art Hotel Villa Agape

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel its grounds are really beautiful. The breakfast is delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It is quite a ways outside the historic center of Florence. They offer a shuttle service that operates from 9:00-1:00 and then again in the late afternoon until 8:00. We found it hard to make this schedule work with our plans. For example it is customary to have dinner at 7:00pm or later at the restaurants in the city so very hard to get the shuttle home. Taxis are expensive but we ended up taking quite a few so you may want to factor this in when making your plans. Still it’s a relaxing and quiet place to be away from the noise and hustle of the downtown."

The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

8/10 Good
"The Social Hub is a great hotel—modern, stylish, minimalist, and incredibly convenient. It’s especially well suited to the independent traveler who appreciates a contemporary, self-service approach. For me personally, being in Florence, I would have preferred a slightly more traditional and full-service hotel experience. The self check-in process and technology-driven approach are modern and very well executed, but they weren’t necessarily a highlight of my vacation. That is entirely a matter of personal preference rather than a criticism of the hotel itself. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, and the hotel itself has a really dynamic atmosphere. The rooftop was definitely a standout, with the pool, terrace, various bars, and food-truck-style counters creating a fantastic space to relax, have a drink, and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it’s a very cool, modern concept and a great choice for travelers looking for independence, convenience, and a lively social atmosphere in Florence."

8/10 Good
"Everything was great, staff were helpful. A couple comments I do have are: One of the staff let themselves into our room in the morning while I was still sleeping then saw me and said “sorry” and turned around and walked out. Weird. Also the room had a lot of thick cob webs and didn’t seem that they dust the room. Other than that, it was a very nice room and clean comfortable beds. Handicap accessible room needs some type of shower curtain to contain the water or the whole bathroom becomes a shower and it doesn’t dry which can be very slippery and everything is wet in there. The rest of the hotel was very nice and updated."
