What guests think

Across reviews, Hotel Paris is praised for its central location near the Duomo and train station, friendly staff, and historic palazzo charm, while recurring drawbacks include street noise, small or dated bathrooms, and occasional maintenance or construction issues.

Rooms range from grand, high-ceilinged spaces with frescoes to simpler, compact options, and air conditioning can struggle in warmer months. Breakfast is frequently appreciated, and many reviews note free 24/7 coffee and tea and a pleasant terrace. Expect a characterful stay in the heart of Florence, with prime walkability and the quirks of a historic property.

This is a great quiet hotel with interesting history super close to many sites to visit and restaurants. Note- there is one very small elevator and there are many stairs.you may have trouble here if you cant do stairs. There arent any porters to hep with luggage. The bathroom is great but needs a handle to help get out of the tub/shower. Lovely free breakfast with a big variety of fruit, proteins and sweets.

Absolutely loved staying here and would do so again. We did have a rental car, and missed the one parking spot the first time by, but called the loop back an adventure! Worth the money for the parking, as they take care of the paperwork, that allows you to drive in the ZTL zone to get to the hotel. We got upgraded, so that was a pleasant surprise. The room was large, by European standards. The staff were amazingly helpful. The breakfast was worth the €10. There was a couple of bottles of water in the fridge, in the room, that were included. You could also get drinks in the breakfast room throughout the day. The location was perfect for walking all over.

Older property with character in a good location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Room was as expected. Did not like the fact that the elevator does not go to the floor levels but rather inbetween.

The hotel is convenient to the important sites, since it is located about a block and a half from the Duomo. Driving and parking is a struggle in that area but the hotel staff provided a convenient work-around that made things much easier. In this and many other things the staff were very helpful.

Good location, walking distance to most major sights. Staff is friendly. Breakfast is pretty good except sometimes slow to refill items that ran out. Would be nice to provide ice. Construction going on, with scarf folding all over the place, inside and out, lots of debris on balcony, therefore, unable to step out for fresh air.

This is a very charming older hotel. The staff are excellent. There is a coffee/beverage room available all day and evening without charge. The breakfast was nice and the hours were 7:00 am-10:00am. Great location to the Duomo and the train station. The elevator broke the day we left so we had to carry our bags down the steps-an inconvenience. Comfortable stay.

The hotel is very well positioned in the centre of Florence and very close to all the main attractions. The downside is that although an extension has been built, elevator access is very poor and so you have to carry your own full suitcases up or down a flight of stairs to reach your room.

The hotel was beautiful! The staff upon arriving were friendly and eager to help. The car parking was easy. Once you pull up they help with the luggage, you hand them your keys and they will park it for you. When leaving you tell them 30 minutes before and they will have the car out front ready for you. The all day tea and coffee is a nice accommodation.

Location is 5-10 min walk to the train station.The first thing that will meet you in the lobby is the distinctively offensive to your nose is the smell of toilet and sewage. I said something about it to the bell boy. The following day, sticks of air freshener was all over the lobby. The front desk was not friendly at all.

The entrance was unique and there was a very helpful young man working at the front desk. Other than that the hotel room was run down with stains on the washroom ceiling, mould on the grout of shower, the wood door always had to be slammed shut or it wouldn't close therefore, while in our room we would hear other doors being slammed shut when people were attempting to close their door. There was also a male guest who was yelling frantically next door, I was petrified as I heard things banging as he was screaming and it sounded like he was hitting someone. Did not hear anyone tend to the matter as it lasted for awhile.The room was gloomy, dusty, rusty , mouldy , very old looking but not in a nice way and needs brighter lighting and new faucets that work and showers people can get into.

The only positive thing about this hotel location. We got a room with broken air conditioning not the one that we booked. Then we got a new one with better AC but the furniture and just the condition of the room is awful, and on top of all there were bedbugs bites and we found one. Do not even think to stay here. There are other hotels around.

The hotel is in a good location, but unfortunately, it feels very old and outdated. The rooms were extremely noisy, and the beds were very uncomfortable. The pillows were so hard that it was impossible to get a good night’s sleep, and the mattresses were just as uncomfortable. I would strongly suggest the hotel replace the pillows and upgrade the beds to improve the guest experience.

Whilst the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very clean and well appointed, the room was extremely basic and exposed to excessive outside noise. While this is not the fault of the hotel the room was advertised as having sound proof windows which was one of the reasons we booked it. There is no sign of any attempt to soundproof the windows. You will not sleep before 11pm when the restaurants close. The room was a superior category however was far from superior. It lacked basic amenities such as a kettle or any glasses, cups etc.

Overall just an average experience with a lot of pros and some really inconvenient cons. The staff and service were 10/10 and everyone I spoke to were so friendly and happy to help (even called a taxi for us which was great!) Location was great too as it was right next to the train station and we came/left Florence by train. It’s also walking distance to pretty much everything you’d want to see. Breakfast had all the croissants, jams, coffee, and hams/cheeses. The largest inconvenience was the wifi as the building walls were really thick and the router was placed outside the main bedroom in the hallway. This meant that we couldn’t connect to the wifi in the room and only in the hallway near the bathroom. They tried to help but I don’t think there was much the staff could do. Overall I would say 5-6/10?

The service here is absolutely incredible!! The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was unforgettable. The hotel itself is a former palace and the fresco in the breakfast room is worth the price of admission. There is an excellent restaurant across the street where we enjoyed a Florintine Steak Extravaganza. Get the breakfast- totally a steal. Location also perfect especially if you are arriving by train. Special shoutout to Annika who went above and beyond for us!!

I booked three rooms for my family in July 2025 my daughter was in a single room. She was woken at 3am by banging on the door, she thought it was her door. It was actually the door next to hers room 203. She is a confident young lady but was frightened, she was going to phone reception but did not want the man banging to hear her. A few mins later an Italian gentleman came and shouted at the person banging on the door. She does not speak Italian so does not know if he was staff. At approx 9am I spoke to reception explained what had happened and said I would return in an hour to resolve the complaint. I returned to reception spoke to the only lady on reception who advised me she had spoken to management and could only offer 28 euros. If my daughter had called reception at 3am maybe they could have done more. I said so your putting all the responsibility on your guest a frighten single young lady. I find this so unacceptable Don’t hotels have responsibilities to their lone female guests. My daughter came down to reception to check out and I introduced her to the reception lady, she acknowledge her but DID NOT APOLOGISED TO HER OR ACKNOWLEDGED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I felt insulted by response from staff. I said I would complete a review and she said they will respond

Beautiful old hotel, excellent front desk staff, good breakfast buffet, large rooms, huge bathroom, views. Very convenient to major shopping and attractions. Very clean. They do have an elevator but you still have to navigate stairs to get to it and then depending on which floor you are placed on so if you have a disability be certain to let them know you cannot do stairs. Only downside we saw to this hotel was the streets surrounding it are very busy and noisy even during low tourist season. People literally yelling on the street at 4:00 a.m. so maybe take some earplugs. I live in New York City in a noisy neighborhood and the noise here got to me. Ear plugs, white noise app on your phone, etc. would be helpful. But everything else was lovely and we would happily stay here again.
