Exellent value for money, Large 2 bathroom 47m2 suite, was spacious and comfortable. Bar area is also excellent, Sam the bartender very good. Not a great deal but for feedback sake 1. Not enough lighting for main shower and for wardrobe in lounge area of suite. Neither safe was working, perhaps flat batteries. Lounge tv remote needs new batteries also. No washing up detergent or basic washing up equipment provided. No dustpan and brush or broom provided. Hotel steam Iron did not work on steam setting and is small and difficult to use. Should be replaced with full sized Iron. It also tripped the electrical safety breaker on one occasion.

The hotel is located right near the main train station about 45 seconds walk from where the bus from pisa airport drops you off so is ideal for travelers coming from Pisa or arriving by train. The hotel is also very close to the Santa Maria Novela Piazza and a little over 5 minutes walk from the Duomo . Most of the sights of Florence are close and although the streets outside are busy they have two layers of windows that keep out all of the noise. The check in staff were friendly and helpful with good English, The room was excellent, very clean with a few nice paintings on the wall and we had a suite with two bathrooms which was fun if somewhat unecesary. Breakfast was a large buffet with pastries ,cold meats,fruit cereal bread and yoghurt and bread to chosse from. The only hot breakfast was the typical hotel scrambled egg and some boiled eggs. A nice touch was having bottles of still and sparkling water that you can take over to your table at breakfast. Its worth noting that the breakfast room looked like a posh expensive bar in London or Paris so all in pretty cool. The bed in our room creaked; a , as a stylish looking bed it was great but in terms of comfort it had two single matress' , not ideal and as I said before it made lots of noise which is not what you want on a romantic long weekend. The aircon was crap, the aircon unit in the living area of our suite was OK but the unit in the bedroom pretty hardly ever worked as it seemed to have a temp sensor that only allowed it to work when the room temp was over 25 degrees this was very annoying on hot days especially if like me you spend plenty of time in countries where its colder than -20 for most of the winter. The bar does not open until 1730, this is not much of an issue bit worth bearing in mind. The Bathrooms were in the most part beautifully fitted and decorated but the laquer on top of the sink stand was wearing off in patches.

With its superb location, just across the street from the train station and within short walking distance of good shops, restaurants and sights, it is ideal for vacation and business. The breakfast is simply superb, in terms of choice and quality of food. The cleanliness and comfort of the room could not be faulted. Overall, it exceeded the standard of the Hyatts and Hiltons. Despite having booked a suite, I did not get one so worth making sure that the staff do their job!

Great location....50m from the main train station. Breakfast in the Ambassadori is very sufficient One of the lifts had a continual smell of a sewer Air conditioning in room used but not very effective and quite noisy As the AC was not very effective in cooling the bedroom, windows had to be open at night and the traffic noise even on the 4th floor was very intrusive

Got more than I expected. Rooms were large, modern, spacious and comfortable. Much bigger than most European rooms. It was the only hotel we stayed in where I felt we had "space to move" which greatly added to the experience. However, the location is not ideal for vactioners looking for a "quaint Florence setting," as it is right across the stree from the train station. What the "exterior ambiance" lacked, the "interior ambiance" more than made up for it. For a business traveler though, this is an ideal hotel.

The location of the hotel is unbeatable----literally across the street from the train station. Yet the room is very quiet as it has double windows. I booked a suite for three people but was totally blown away for the suite we got: two large rooms each with en-suite bathroom. The decor is very modern and spa like. Plenty of storage. There is even a small kitchenette hid away in the closet. The breakfast is very rich with many choices of pastry, meat, drinks and fruits. I'll definitely return to this hotel when I come back to Florence. The hotel sign needs to be changed to be in line with Waldorf Suites as it appear in the booking process. The physical sign on the builder is still its old name, something like Ambassadorial Hotel or something. There is only a very small Waldorf Suite sign on a side door. So our whole family spent sometime walking around the building trying to find it.

Room size good location very good The air conditioning is absolutely inadequate. The suite had 2 air conditoners but both lesser than the required capacity. The temperature outside in the city was 5 degrees lower than the room temperature and the room couldn't be cooled below 29 degrees C.

It was very close to the train station. Didn't have any difficulty at all finding the place. The suites were spacious and decorated nicely :) The fact that we were not able to turn on the air conditioning. I guess they don't turn it on until April or May? Not sure. We were hot so we had to open the window and when doing so the noise from the street and all of the pedestrians walking at night was a bit noisy :(

We stayed in one of the Suites at Waldorf in February and were very happy with everything. The staff were freindly and helpful. The room was large & clean with seperate lounge area with sleeper couch, two TV's, two bathrooms and with spa bath! The breakfast was very good and the location is short walk from the center of Florence, all sights, museums etc. are within walking distance. Most convenient was that the bus & train stations are on the same block so there is no need for taxi's or walking with luggage when you arrive. Very good value for money!

Location was very handy to the train station and city sites are not far to walk. Breakfast was a great way to start the day at the hotel and was extremely satisfying. Hallways were noisy when children running along. We had adjoining rooms and although it was near freezing temps outside, the room was intensely hot but I simply didn't care to switch rooms late at night so I simply opened the windows and turned the heater off. Minor distraction which did not ruin my stay and I would stay again but not rm 487.

Modern suites in the heart of an old town is not so common. That is why we liked the Waldorf Suite very much. The price for a large luxury suite at walking distance from everything worth seeing was outstanding.

This is the closest hotel to the train station for train travelllers. It is also a 5-20 minute walk to all the major tourist attractions in downtown Florence. The rooms were the largest you would find anywhere with 2 washrooms & a living room-easily enough room for 4 people,

“I love my stay at this hotel. The staff is really friendly and helpful (especially to advise on restaurants ;) . The value for money is really good, not too expensive but still chic and really good quality hotel. I was really impressed by how 'clean' it was also. The breakfast buffet is fab! and the bar is cool! The location is awesome as you are right in the centre! Fantastic! And also no city noise or anything! I strongly recommend it!” Samia, Leeds |
