“Nice hotel in a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

We stayed in Florence for one night but wish I could have stayed longer. The hotel was clean and the staff friendly. The rooms were not terribly small and the breakfast was delicious with your choice of juice, coffee or capuccino and plenty of food to eat. The bath tub has only half a door so it's difficult to not make a mess. The pool is extremely small and half of it is maybe a foot deep. This hotel has the smallest elevator I have ever seen (4 people max) but it was so funny that we took a picture of it. I would stay here again!

Dear Guest,
I'm really gald to see that you appreciated our job. Since 1960 we have this "focus" to give our clients a pleasant stay in Florence. You noticed the size of our Lift (original 1960) wich is really small, but even in case we would like to change it with a larger ore, the Fine Arts Dept. would not allow us to do it.
I appreciated your will to share your comments on our house with many other travellers and thank you once again for the nice words.
Hoping to welcome you again at the Rivoli, the staff and I just say...Arrivederci!

Friendly, professional and helpful staff. Good food. Very close to everything, from the main train station to the Duomo and the fab shopping streets. Near the Arno too. We would definitely return.

“Loved it!”

We were impressed by this hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious as was the lobby and common areas. Great graden terrace. Breakfast was wonderful. Near to the train station and close by to most attractions. But the customer service is what we liked the best. Always with a smile and above and beyond service.

“Would definitely Recommend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of July. It's located a couple of minutes from the train station, about 5-10 minutes from the Duomo and approx 5-10 minutes from Ponte Vecchio.

All staff we met were polite and helpful, rooms and communal areas were spotlessly clean and well presented. Rooms were a decent size and the jacuzzi and garden bar (open 3pm -9pm) were a certainly welcome facility at the end of a long day sight seeing.

Breakfast was good - cold meats, cheese, bread, pastries bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cereal and yogurts - so there is something for everyone! The breakfast staff I thought were particularly good - always cheerful, quick to fetch coffee and they worked extremely hard.

Overall, an excellent hotel and I would definitely stay there again if I went back to Florence.

“Very distinguished hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is located in the city center, close to most of Florence attractions, built in the ancient times and still conserve its elegance, rooms are very wide, although it was a standard room, yet we felt it's a junior suite.
Breakfast was diversified with excellent service.
Receptionists were very helpful.
Really loved it and wish to be back there again.
