Great breakfast and great location, and also several of the front desk people were very nice
Amazing location, very good staff and clean room. Breakfast was delicious with several healthy options available.
The shower temperature vary a lot. It was the only problem we had during our stay.
I had the pleasure of dealing with Alessandro & Mauro at the front desk. Always a genuine smile and very helpful with recommendations. Check-in was smooth and quick! I'll be recommending this hotel to friends & family!
Great location, includes a great breakfast, clean, safe, and accommodating.
Some rooms are very small and tight.
The hotel location was great and only a few minutes walk to the train station with many restaurants nearby.
Our room was small with only a desk chair to sit in and the bathroom could use better lighting.
Excellent location though it took me awhile to find it! Very clean. Alessandra was most helpful in regard to my questions. Excellent and varied breakfast.
My single room had a huge bed so there was no extra space in the room. I had requested a one twin bed room.
Fantastic location! A 10 min. walk from the train station. Rooms are small but very comfortable, excellent breakfast choices included in hotel rate. Many restaurant choices just on the same street and very close to the Central Market for even more food choices. Only 10 steps away from the Medici Chapel, a must see! Could not believe the wonders inside.
Great staff, great location, very comfortable.
Like everywhere in Italy, the shower was very small.
Well located. Small but nicely appointed. Big beds.
The shower was a bit small.
It was clean and comfortable. So close to everything. Breakfast was good. It was quiet we didn’t hear any street noise. We would stay there again if in Florence.
The location was fantastic! The beds were super comfortable.
Of all places we stayed in Italy, this breakfast was our least favourite. Need a better coffee machine or quality coffee and more selection of meats or warm food.
The hotel is very conveniently located near the train station, the staff were warm and helpful, and the rooms were exceptionally clean.
There was no kettle in the room, which was a minor drawback.
Staff, rooms and location.
The property was very well located for most of the things we wanted to see. We were traveling by train and it was very convenient to the train station. The room was very clean.
The shower drained so slow it flooded the bathroom floor the first night. They were able to fix the issue two days later.
Never got there.
Had so much trouble getting to the hotel (late evening) we gave up and stayed somewhere else and just forfeited the fee.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Palazzo Benci. The room was super nice and modern and clean. The location is ideal since it is close to everything you need to visit in Florence! The breakfast was also great! The staff were super welcoming and helpful. I really recommend this hotel! I will be coming back for sure!
Only downside is that they give 1 towel only (extra cost if you require another one)
