An absolute gem of a hotel in Florence
Pros:

The location was very convenient for our excursions into Florence. We had a very warm welcome. The hotel is very traditional Italian in the best way possible. We loved the breakfast in the beautiful little garden and the views from the roof top. All the staff were friendly and very welcoming and helpful. Lots of little touches that made our stay memorable and comfortable.

Pessimo atendimento ao cliente.
Pros:

Não saberia dizer

Cons:

Eu fiz um reserva; que teve no reload do site os dias alterados. Entrei em contato com o hotel que se recusou a me ajudar a ajustar a reserva para as datas certas. Perdemos o valor pago e a unica sugestao do hotel foi fazer uma nova reserva pagando integralmente. Perdemos 2 dias em valor de hospedagem.

ABSOLUTE DREAM STAY
Pros:

I absolutely adored my 10-day stay at Hotel Principe. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful boutique hotel and even lovelier staff!

The daily breakfast was an absolute feast. On top of the vast array of delicious treats (both sweet and savoury) the staff offered custom meals (the French toast is a must, absolutely spectacular) and the best cappuccinos I’ve had in the city.

The garden is beyond aesthetic and incredibly peaceful, whether you’re enjoying breakfast on a quiet morning, reading a book by the wall of ivy in the afternoon, or even looking onto it from the balcony of one of a dozen rooms with the most stunning views of the Duomo.

The dual lounges, the rooftop’s cozy seating, and the breathtaking views of both the city and the Arno are top-notch. The beds are incredibly comfortable with buttery-smooth thread count, the rooms are equipped with A/C and a fun espresso machine (and frothing spout) so you can make your own cappuccinos throughout the day. Which I very much did.

The building is in an elegant, clean, safe, and quiet neighbourhood, right next to the Arno. You’re right around the corner from a bus-stop, a 5-6 min walk from the tram that takes you directly to/from the airport, and about a 10-15 min walk from all the major attractions (Duomo, Central Market, Uffizi Galleries, Pitti Palace, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, etc.)

And on top of all that, the beautiful and lovely hotel manager, Beatrice, offered me a ride to Piazzale Michelangelo where I was blessed with the most breath-taking view of Florence you can imagine! A must if you visit the city!

Suffice it to say, my stay here was an absolute dream and I miss the hotel and everyone I met already. I cannot wait to go back!

One little tip: bring mosquito spray if you’re travelling to Italy in the summer. I really wish I could’ve spent more time outside, particularly in the hotel’s beautiful gardens.

Grazie mille!

This place exceeded our expectations
Pros:

We had the best time staying here for our honeymoon! The stay exceeded our expectations. We booked it very last minute due to needing a new place to stay, and our room was ready as soon as we arrived. We stayed for our honeymoon and they upgraded our room when we arrived. They were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful when providing recommendations about the city. We would stay here again!

Sadly only for one night. If I could guarantee the same room I would definitely return
Pros:

The property is in a fabulous location on the Arno. It’s easily found . If in doubt just walk along the river from the Ponte Vecchio. The decor was amazing and the view from my room stunning. It was indeed a room with a view.
