Several guests report street noise in piazza-facing rooms and inconsistent air conditioning; a minority found some rooms small or dark and showers tight. The lobby bar and artistic, superhero-inspired interiors stand out, and some rooms offer memorable views over the square. Best suited to travelers who value style and atmosphere over complete quiet.

This is a lovely hotel. The rooms are clean and quiet with nice toiletries in the bathroom. Great breakfast with delicious coffee and cappuccino and a bar w drinks in the evening. Staff was very friendly and extremely responsive. Our last morning we left for an early flight and they gave us bags of food with snacks for breakfast which was very thoughtful. I would recommend!

They could have charged me twice as much. I’m not a fan of the statues of Batman. But don’t let that fool you. That hotel we stayed at while we spent time in Europe.

Really like this property, we had a large room with a wonderful view of the square. We looked forward each day to seeing Vini when the bar opened, he is a lovely man, made great drinks, and we enjoyed interacting with him! The only negative, nothing to do with the hotel itself, is that the square in front is extremely noisy. The first night the noise didn’t stop until around 3am, I was thankful I had earplugs.

The hotel is beautiful, with a large and comfortable lobby area that is great for sitting with a drink or meeting your group. There are also some fun and unique touches in the hallways that made us smile. Wonderful breakfast included, which met the various preferences of our 4 person group. Helpful servers came around to take coffee orders and keep tables clean. Room was clean and well appointed, with a beautiful bathroom and very nice toiletries. Comfortable bed, high quality linens. Staff was friendly and helpful with everything from checkin to helping us get a large taxi for departure. Location was excellent, right on a beautiful square and within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend.

Clean and quiet, clean and keep the room very tidy. Ice machine in the lobby but most of time empty (but staff willing to get it from the bar). On arrival. Staff walk you through the breakfast area (very good food) and facilities. Very close to the train station. But not too crowded.

After staying in Milan, we continued our Italian Holiday with a 4 nights stay in the Garibaldi Blu. The location in the North Centro is excellent, only a short walk away from the railway station and there are a number of sites of interest (e.g. Duomo, Battistero & Campanile) a short walk away. Similarly for the Galleria degli Uffizi & Ponte Vecchio. The hotel is a little quirky, but impeccably clean and our room was very nicely furnished and was kept pristinely clean by housekeeping, who replenished the bottled water daily. The quality and variation of food for breakfast was very good. All of the hotel staff was excellent, very friendly, professional, helpful, cheerful and always with a smile on their faces. We’d like to add a special thank you to Carolina on reception for the invaluable help on the different local restaurants and also her assistance with the Italian Railway system, which made our additional trip to Pisa very easy to do.

Placé devant Santa Maria novella, l’hôtel est confortable et très central. Petit déjeuner complet et varié. Service parfait à l’accueil et pendant le séjour. Seul bémol: remontées d’odeurs fortes dans la salle de bains (on nous a proposé de changer de chambre) et si vous donnez sur la place, c’est bruyant mais quelle vue le matin!

The hotel itself was fine, great location, great breakfast and helpful staff. But if your room faces the square and you’re there over a weekend, be prepared to hear the club music until 2am. It’s also hard to sleep in because as the restaurants out front start setting up early, it’s very noisy.

Because of a train strike, we were stuck in Florence for another day and missed our flight. They did everything possible to help us from checking rental cars, checking limo drivers. Finally we found out that it just wasn’t gonna work so we stayed an extra day which was wonderful And we’re on our way tomorrow to Rome to catch our flight. I can’t say enough good things about them five stars doesn’t cover it.

Our flight out of Florence was very early so they arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 4 a.m., had a continental breakfast bag for each of us ready as we checked out. Definitely recommend.

Great location. 5-10 minute walk from train station. Duomo and other major sites within reasonable walking distance. Several restaurants within the same piazza.

The hotel itself was fine, great location, great breakfast and helpful staff. But if your room faces the square and you’re there over a weekend, be prepared to hear the club music until 2am. It’s also hard to sleep in because as the restaurants out front start setting up early, it’s very noisy.

Nice hotel, in okay location with great staff. Issue was noise, all the doors for the rooms next to us slammed and also the street noise is excessive. We were first floor city view which I would recommend future guests avoid.

Great location (get the tram from the airport to Unita and then 1 min walk), or 3 minute walk from the station. Helpful friendly staff, great rooms, quiet, excellent location which is walkable for everything. Good value, nice atmosphere and ambience which is different from the main chain hotels. Good breakfast.

The hotel is centrally located and an easy 20 minute walk to most must-see sights. I had a room with a view of the piazza which was magical during the day and evening. I would highly recommend.

We were very pleased with the hotel as a base for a weekend in Florence. Located on a picturesque Piazza and two minutes’ walk from the airport tram, the city was all within easy walking distance. The breakfast is good and the rooms quiet and very comfortable.

Hotel was lovely. In a great location only a short walk from the Florence Santa Maria Novella railway station. Hotel interior lovely, artfully laid out. Room was lovely with a modern bathroom. Breakfast is on the ground floor with a good selection available. Hotel located on the Santa Maria Novella piazza, nice open square as you stepped out of the hotel. A lovely location. An abundance of good restaurants in the immediate area, food lovely. Plus loads more fine restaurants within 10 minutes walk. The Dumo is only 5-10 minutes walk. In fact all central Florence & the river only a short walk away. Lovely city for walking around.

This is a lovely hotel. The rooms are clean and quiet with nice toiletries in the bathroom. Great breakfast with delicious coffee and cappuccino and a bar w drinks in the evening. Staff was very friendly and extremely responsive. Our last morning we left for an early flight and they gave us bags of food with snacks for breakfast which was very thoughtful. I would recommend!

Good location: The hotel is conveniently located and within walking distance to Santa Maria Novell station and the city. Cleanliness is ok. Only a small shower area in our room. Even though we closed the shower doors tightly, water still leaked out every time we used the shower - that was disappointing!!! The interior design of the hotel is unique, may not be everyone's taste though. Buffet breakfast was unsatisfactory - very few choices and of inferior quality. No coffee machine, guests need to place order for coffee (no extra charge). However, it may take a while to wait for the servers to come especially when it's busy time!

Excellent variety of buffet breakfast; quirky room - quite dark but that’s the style. Spotless modern bathroom, efficient and quiet a/c. Great location near the station and only a short walk to the centre. Helpful guide to local restaurants was supplied at check-in.

The hotel is beautiful, with a large and comfortable lobby area that is great for sitting with a drink or meeting your group. There are also some fun and unique touches in the hallways that made us smile. Wonderful breakfast included, which met the various preferences of our 4 person group. Helpful servers came around to take coffee orders and keep tables clean. Room was clean and well appointed, with a beautiful bathroom and very nice toiletries. Comfortable bed, high quality linens. Staff was friendly and helpful with everything from checkin to helping us get a large taxi for departure. Location was excellent, right on a beautiful square and within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend.

They had an ice maker and mini fridge which was very useful especially in the summer. The rooms however were very hot, and although they had thermostats it usually never got below 78 degrees F.
