Trip of a lifetime
Pros:

My time at the Sina Villa Medici was magical. As soon as you walked in there is always someone to greet you no matter the time of day or night. Our room was so quaint and you leave your room keys at the front desk when you go out for the day/evening. The pool was just opened when we arrived. That was a nice suprise since the weather was quite warm. I Hotel bar had a piano player which created such a romantic atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Extremely Overpriced
Pros:

For a five star hotel, this hotel felt worse than the average LaQuinta. The staff seemed to look down upon us immediately upon arrival and constantly tried to upsell us on various offers throughout our stay. The room was nothing like the photos nor the description and it overlooked a dingy inner square full of peeling paint and rotting corners (see attached photo), despite the online claims of garden views. While the staff cleaned the room at least twice a day, the details of the room remained worn and dirty. This hotel was also surrounded by sketchy buildings and people, and I often felt unsafe when leaving the hotel. Overall, this experience was far from what was advertised online, and I feel it was extremely overpriced.

Great Hotel
Pros:

Fantastic hotel close to the train station and within walking distance of all the sights in Florence. We are from the US and the majority of the guests staying while we were there were also from the US. The Concierge Desk is very helpful (especially Andrea) and Mussa at the pool was wonderful!

A gem of a hotel in Florence
Pros:

What a beautiful hotel. Room was clean and welcoming. We had a very large balcony. What a great spot to sit and relax. You could here the elevator quite clearly in our room but having the large balcony made up for that. The front desk ladies were more than pleasant and helpful. Lovely staff. We enjoyed out breakfast each morning looking out at their garden and pool. Food was great. Service also. Hotel is walking distance to the train which was a plus for us. Easy walk around Florence. Definitely would stay again. Thank you to all.

Amazing Customer Service
Pros:

Every single person I ran into, from the contact over the app, to the email contacts, to the guest relations staff, to the restaurant staff, to the housekeeping team, were fantastic. In all my years of travel, I have never felt so pampered, special and welcome. My hat's off to them! Bravo.

Staff are exceptional
Pros:

The staff absolutely made this hotel! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left they were all so friendly, helpful and polite. I would like to give a special thank you to Claudia from the Netherlands. Every day she greeted us with a smile and was so helpful and genuinely friendly. Upon arrival we realised our room did not have a walk in shower and my mum has mobility issues. She quickly arranged a different room for us. All staff including bell men and concierge were great. Helping us with bags and anything we needed. We didn’t eat at the hotel at all but enjoyed our stay. I even got to use an e bike for free. The only downside to our stay as some others have mentioned was the smell of drains in our bathroom. They did try and fix the problem but a day later the smell was back. We have heard this is common in Florence.

Tutto secondo aspettative
Pros:

Personale estremamente accogliente, gentile e paziente nel gestire un piccolo disguido con la carta.
È stato molto gradita la presenza d
el pianista nel Harry's bar presente all'interno, che è stato disponibile nell'accettare anche brani su richiesta.
La camera si è presentata pulita ed ordinata, arricchendo l'accoglienza con lettere scritte a mano e dolci.

Cons:

Questa voce è superflua per il grado di eccellenza della struttura.

Romantic stay for anniversary
Pros:

We LOVED our stay here. Travelled here for our anniversary- staff made a point to congratulate us and made us feel special and welcome. Concierge goes above and beyond; we asked how we can get timed entry to Academia museum and he picked up the phone and called the museum for us! It has such wonderful staff and facilities too; the spa with sauna is free for guests. And definitely go for the rate including breakfast; it was delicious and staff making cappuccino to order cqn get addictive. Hope you get a chance to stay here!
