For us, the place is perfect. Our second trip to Florence, Our second stay at Olimpia. The staff is great. their English is terriffic. We chose a room over-looking the Piazza as we enjoyed the bustling and noice as we drifted off to sleep. the rooms are just charming with their 14 ft ceilings. our room was on a corner... More

I stayed here in July, for 2 nights and I was very unhappy checking in as it was clearly not a three star hotel but given it was high tourist season I would not have been able to find another room easily. If you want to stay in a hostel for cheap hostel prices this is fine, but if you... More

I was traveling with two kids, so safety, quiet and friendliness is important. We could be back in five minutes from the uffizi, and our room, which looked on to an alley was wonderfully quiet and totally dark with the blinds closed (we called it the bat cave) air con was fine. Kids loved the old fashioned elevator and the... More

Excellent location near to Duomo, right at centre of shopping streets near to good eating joints. 15 min walk to station. Hotel is located in the old township of Florence. Stayed at room 9. Very old room with furniture in horrible condition. Badly needs makeover. Room was clean however felt depressing. Bathroom is very small/claustrophobic. Badly needs renovation. Very very... More

We chose this hotel for the location & the price. It genuinely has one of the best locations in Florence, it's on Piazza della Repubblica - absolutely in the centre. The hotel is on the top floor of a large old fashioned building, above a dentist etc. The lobby area is like a good quality hostel - very basic. We... More

Yes the location was absolutely perfect and would definitely stay here again. Fun watching all of the activity on the piazza. Rooms were large, clean and definitely adequate. The bathroom was a bit amusing--could use the toilet, bidet and shower at the same time. The entrance to the hotel is 4 floors up a concrete stairwell. There was a lift... More

As the title says, the location was fantastic, right in the middle of everything. The room had air conditioning, which was great because it was very hot out, and the room was very quiet and clean. That being said, it was relatively no frills. The bathroom had an open shower in it, which isn't horrible except for the fact that... More

The location couldn't be better. The room was adequate, although I would have loved a mini bar to hold at least my water. I was a single traveler and my room was very good sized, with a good sized bathroom...with the shower directly above the toliet...all good it's pretty common....just warning you. The Hotel is located on the 4th floor... More

We recently stayed at the Olimpia, in early May 2011. We were 3 adults in a triple room (4 single beds). The room was very clean, as was the bathroom. The staff was nice, and the breakfast was good (pastries, cereal, fruit). Our room was on the 3rd floor, far from reception, so the WIFI didn't reach; they refunded me,... More
