We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend on our first trip to Florence. The hotel was lovely! Friendly staff, lovely rooms- our room had a private roof terrace, tasty continental style breakfast too. The hotel is under 10minute stroll from The Duomo and 15minute stroll from the train station, shops, uffizi and ponte d vecchio. Highly recommended, I... More

The Athenaeum was a VERY good value. We had stayed a few nights at another, unbearable location and chose the Athenaeum for our final night after the front desk allowed us to view a room. The room is clean, HAS manual temperature control, and our bathroom was immaculate. This is exactly what a 3-4 star European/Italian hotel should look like.... More

the hotel is conveniently located: outside the tourist circle and yet very close (walking distance to any of the atractions). It is a fairly modern hotel and it delivers quite good quality/price relation by Floretine standards. The staff is very friendly and able: I wanted to change my room and they did so very quickly despite of being fully booked.... More

Just returned from 5 nights booked through a well known special offer organisation. Initially in very basic , strongly smelling of smoke, not up to expectation, room. Wrote to organisation and being fair they acted immediately and we were upgraded to a room nearer our expectation. Hotel is well positioned , 5 min walk to San Marco piazza and literally... More

Hotel was central for all tourist attractions friendly staff and a nice room. TV basic only C N English channel. Breakfast good and plenty of it. Would stay there again if visiting Florence again. Parking available at hotel expensive but on par with other hotels .

It is what it is - very much a basic, no frills business hotel. Service fine, rooms clean and comfortable enough but no character at all. Breakfast functional. 20 minutes walk to the railway station, 10 to the Duomo, but if you want a sense of the magic and romance of Florence then don't stay here. If you just need... More

This hotel was dirty! The lobby is misleading. Our room was dirty - dead bugs on the walls, black mold in the shower, hair in the bathroom. The shower was broken so it was for someone under 5ft tall. Wifi did not work in our room. When we complained to the front desk the response we received was "there's nothing... More

The Athenaeum Hotel hit all the marks for our recent trip to Florence. The price was right, the location was ideal (close to the Florence train station, and about a 10 minute walk from the Duomo) and the rooms clean and comfortable. For our first time in Florence it was perfect. They serve an ample breakfast with fruit juices, pastries,... More

We booked 3 nights here as a sudden last-minute trip and we were very happy with our choice. This hotel is ideal - clean and comfortable, with good reception staff and a decent, speedy breakfast. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the bathroom, though quite small, was absolutely fine. On a visit where most time is spent out and about,... More
