“Great, Fabulous, Outstanding service...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I took my fiance to Florence for a birthday treat and I booked the Golden Tower through the Daily Telegraph offers. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with professionalism and smiles at this fabulous hotel. The staff, mainly females, were just outstanding, with Polly and Veronica in the restaurant and the lovely lady on reception (my apologies for forgetting your name), but that doesn't mean that you impressed us any less. Our room (which we upgraded on arrival) was everything and more you would expect from a 5Star hotel.
The location is just perfect for access to everything from beautiful shops to fantastic restaurants and great architecture. If I had one small criticism it would be a more varied menu in the restaurant for dinner, although what we ate was outstanding...

Thank you for your warm hospitality, hope to see you again....

Room Tip: The tower room 504, the one on the front of their website...

“Good Size Room at Fabulous Location... oh.. and great services too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We spent 3 nights here with my parents. We stayed at deluxe rooms with complimentary drinks in mini bar which are very cosy.

The first impression of the hotel is great location (right next to everything central) and clean and tidy decoration.

Most impressed me is the "Go-Beyond" services by all the reception staffs - Gorgeous Yanni , fabulous Marco, beautiful and informative Elsa, they all made our stay like home while away.. happy to provide us literally whatever we need from all the information and recommendations around the city and organizing all the transportations.

Tips: it's about 50 euros for a 7 seater airport transfer and about 250 euros for a day trip to all the Fashion Outlets close by.

Next Time, I will definitely go again in summer and stay at their Tower Suite. The only thing I am concerning is that if we keep putting good comments, will that allowing them rising their price higher and higher?

Room Tip: try to search for "Free upgrade offer" to book rooms via their official website rather tha...

“Pretty cool hotel with EXCEPTIONAL Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Really like the hotel location. For Florence you can't go wrong! you literally walk out your door and are lost in time.

Thought about staying at St. Regis, Helvetia, etc....and glad i stayed here!

The hotel has something that i have never seen before - and i stay in hotels about 60-80 nights a year....satellite tv with automatic language conversion. This is AWESOME! and one of a kind in Italy. Kudos to the staff for delivering this!

I will say the construction noise early in the morning was pretty loud. Once that is finished I'm sure everything will return to normal

Pros - location, great breakfast, nice staff, deluxe rooms with free drinks/snacks
cons - really couldnt find any fault with the hotel except some construction noise.

Super easy to WALK from Train Station and if you have to wait for a train, there are some great restaurants on the way.

Room Tip: get a deluxe room...its so nice to be able to have a snack or a drink when you are hungry!

“Fabulous Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We have just stayed 3 nights in this lovely hotel. All the staff were delightful, especially those on reception who made us feel very welcome. The hotel is very quiet and in a great position for seeing most of the sights (but in Florence everything is walkable). The room was good and the bed was very comfortable. After all the walking it was great to have a soak in the tiny pool and use the sauna at the end of the day. My only small gripe was instant coffee in the rooms, I would expect better in a 5 star hotel. A great place to stay.

Dear LondonMaggie45,
we thank you very much for your great comment. We are so happy to know your stay with us has been "Fabulous". As for the istant coffee, we are not sure we have understood, if it is about the coffee quality or the machine (coffe maker) to prepare it. Anyway, as we use a very well known ones as "nescafè" we will check and taste it carefully.
Thank you again for your suggestion and hope to welcome back in the next future,
all our best regards,

“Treated for 4 days with no resprect by a waitress staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days. I have to say that every single day some waitress treated my girlfriend in so disrespectful way and this is not something subjective, first day my girlfriend was sitting alone for breakfast because i was late, later when i arrived i was standing up beside the kitchen to take the buffet breakfast and I listened when the waitress inside the kitchen was talking bad things about my girlfriend, I didn't say anything just to not make a scene, but later this waitress again started to be rude with my girlfriend. every day this women was very rude but my girlfriend is so well educated and polite that she didn't say anything, but the 4th day was too much ,my girlfriend went alone for breakfast and this woman asked her if she was staying in the hotel and the room number, i mean during 3 days she disturbed her and the last day she doesn't remember her. I think it is a kind of stupid jalousie just because my girlfriend is model and very polite, this italian woman was extremely rude. Another thing i have to say is that the room service was very poor and expensive

Dear BruF_12,
Thank you for your comment even if, as you know, we have already apologized in a private mail. But, I have noticed you have added something new from your complaint to our reception staff upon your departure. The inconvenience occured only one day not for all 4 days. As already said, we invest time and money in our Staff Training and it is demonstrated by the satisfaction of all our Guest' s reviews. Sometimes someone do not follow the line and thanks to our Guest indication we act promptly to avoid future inconveniences.
Best Regards,
