The hotel was just beautiful. The decoration and design are delightful, the rooms are very clean, and the bed comfortable. As this is a small hotel the staff are very helpful in all respects and go out of the way to make your stay easy and memorable. The location is accessible to buses or an easy walk into the heart of Florence. There are lots of extras included like a free mini bar in your room, happy hour drinks supplied free in the courtyard and wifi is free and works well. A lovely experience in a beautiful city.

Having read so many positive reviews about Hotel David we knew it would be good but it far exceeded our expectations... We hope to return in the future and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great location for visiting the over populated tourist areas of Florence and then retreating to nice urban neighborhood with its own charm. Staff was very, very helpful and the room was very comfortable. I would stay here again if I return to Florence.

It was our honeymoon and they really made us feel special. A bottle of wine in our room on arrival, a cake for two on our return from a day out, and the most helpful and friendly staff I have ever encountered. The room was lovely, the shower amazing, the complimentary mini-bar a brilliant touch. I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. I can assure anyone considering booking this hotel that they'll not be disappointed. When we return to Firenze for one of our anniversaries we'll definitely be staying at Hotel David. I'm looking forward to it already!

Cannot praise the staff highly enough. A genuinely warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. I liked the bar facility when you helped yourself to whatever you wanted and simply signed for it. Good prices too. Well situated on all the bus routes and the walk along by the river would have been a delight had the weather not been so unfavourable! But even then the hotel provided umbrellas for you. I would certainly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a city break in Florence.

My family and I booked two rooms for one night at the end of August and spent the evening and the next day enjoying Florence. We chose the hotel mainly because of the free parking offered and on the strength of favourable reviews, with which I heartily agree. The hotel is comfortable and clean and the staff are very friendly, relaxed and helpful. We enjoyed the 20 min walk to the Ponte Vecchio along the river, although we could have taken the bus if we'd wanted to. The complimentary drinks in the garden made a pleasant start to our evening. I would definitely stay at the David again, particularly if I was arriving by car.

Excellent friendly staff. Good location, easy 15 minute walk into the historical centre or just catch the bus from across the road. All the free extras like first mini bar, replenish it by means of an honour system (just fill in a coupon as to what you take) from the hotel stock at very reasonable prices. Free happy hour every night with drinks and nibbles. One free international phone call to most countries per day. Substantial breakfast included in room rate. DIY laundry facilities provided at a small charge.

We loved our stay here, the little extra touches the hotel provides free of charge are wonderful, we loved happy hour, we chatted to lots of other guests and really relaxed, our children were either online or playing chess, we had to practically drag them out of the hotel to sightsee!!! In my opinion this is the jewel of Florence. Wonderful stay, thank you.

Very nicely decorated and rooms were very clean. Bus stop into downtown area and train station located very near-by although after 8pm the bus stopped running and you had to either walk into town (about 20minutes to Ponte Vecchio) or take a taxi. Breakfast was buffet style and you there was no opportunity to request that your eggs or bacon be done in a certain way.

I cannot say enough good things about our wonderful experience at Hotel David. The setting is a lovely respite just a bit outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff could not have been warmer or more helpful. The hotel rooms are just lovely. The hotel makes the effort to truly provide a home away from home with all of its special extras, such as a free phone call to home, wonderful wine and food in the evening on the patio, as well as no-cost snacks and beverages within the room. I was sorry that our stay was brief, but it was most memorable. I highly recommend this hotel for all and will suggest to my friends and family with confidence for their future trips to Florence. Thank you, Hotel David! Kathryn de Planque Santa Monica, Ca.

My husband and I just went on a 5 week honeymoon in Europe and stayed in many different hotels. Hotel David was one of our favorite hotels from our trip. The service and special amenitites made it so. They have a free daily happy hour where they serve loads of snacks and drinks. They even allow free calls home to the US and other countries. The free onsite parking was also great. They even had some champaign waiting for us since we were on our honeymoon.

We would like to compliment the hotel for the most fanastic reception and service they delivered throughout our stay. We were made to feel welcome and cared for at all times. Everybody from management to housekeeping staff smiled; and I did not see one frown or sullen look from anybody, despite what must be an extremely taxing job, to stay bright for so long. They could not have been more obliging to us. We cannot fault them in any way in and will not hesitate to recommend they to our freinds and relatives. From arrival, the manager greeted us by name, which was impressive. We booked in and were shown to our accommodation that was prepared to an immaculate standard. This standard was maintained throughout out stay, and we barely knew the housekeepers were there. Certainly not in sight after mid-day. Very very, impressive. The whole team were so polite and helpful. For example, after going on the round town bus tour, we arrived back at 7.00pm one night. I'd noticed in a guide book about the Ruins of Fiesole, a telephone no. for a beautiful public gardenat Villa Gamberaia which had recently been featured on the television in England. The lady in reception just rang them up, obtianed openning times for Sunday( my last day day), and also established the buses I should take to get their. This visit was a complete success and enriched my holiday totally. I think the best distant view of Florence you could ever have in total serenity. This was an unforgettable day for me that was entirely enabled by the Hotel David receptionist Should we wish to stay in Florence again, we will use Hotel David without any hesitation, and you should feel lucky that you have them, as they were a credit to you and themselves. We are not aware of any complaints either by fellow guests who we would meet in the early evening, or at breakfast. I worked at Claridges Hotel for 12months recently, and Hotel David matches their standard of service in every single way. No complaints whatsoever, I wish I was still there.

We liked everything about the Hotel David...from the continental breakfast, cleanliness of the rooms, the knowledge of the staff to the lovely happy hour and location. We didn't mind the distance from the center of Florence...it was an easy and enjoyable walk or a simple bus ride. So many things that other hotels charge for are included in the rate at the Hotel David, making it one of the best buys of our entire trip!
