What can I say that hasn't already been said about Florence, and in particular Il Guelfo Bianco? We have stayed at Il Guelfo Bianco a number of times over the past 10 years and It always feels like home.... well not really like home, but more like coming home to one of our favourite hotels. The location is perfect. It... More

On the plus side, it's in a good location and the breakfast was great. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. However, our room was very basic and furnished with older non-antique furniture. Our room also had only 1 tiny window up near the ceiling about 10 feet up on the wall.

We booked this hotel as its a five minute walk to the Duomo. All hotels in Florence are expensive unless you stay out of town. The style is Old Florentine and that theme is carried throughout. Our room (122) was large with an inner courtyard aspect. The bed was a zipped twin making a king. The bathroom was also large... More

Dear HughDownie, thanks for your review we arehappy you had a nice stay with us. You see during the high season our hotel (luckly!) is very busy so we have many people here and of course even our breakfast room could be a bi noisy when many people have breakfast all together. Regarding teh phrase Dario told you when you... More

Our family of four stayed in the VERY spacious junior suite and loved every minute of our stay with this hotel. We had 2 single beds and one large sized bed and there were 2 television sets in our room along with one washroom with great water pressure and all toiletries we would need. Breakfast in the morning was delicious... More

Pros: Great location - central to all the attractions of Florence. Clean hotel. Service with a smile. Play-pen was available for our infant. All rooms are accessible (i.e. stroller). Jr. Suite Room was massive. Cons: Minimal amenities - but understood given its 3-star rating. Overall: Outstanding value in Florence. Close to absolutely everything. A wonderful stay.

I must admit I was a little reluctant to give this hotel five bullets, because it lacks the fancy (and mostly irrelevant) amenities of four and five star establishments. Then I realized what Il Guelfo Bianco DOES offer. First and foremost is cleanliness; it was spotless and remained so throughout our full eight night stay. It is probably the cleanest... More

Our family of 4 spent 6 nights here in May 2012. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious and had a very nice large bath. We looked forward to the breakfast every morning as it was delicious, and extremely fresh. We also loved the welcome drink and 'snack'[mini meal really] at the bistro. The courtyards are lovely and offer a... More

Our family of 5 spent 6 nights here in April 2012. The rooms were beautiful and quiet. The breakfast was delicious, and all food is extremely fresh. We also enjoyed their bistro.
