The staff was exceptional and attentive. They upgraded our room to a piaza view on arrival for no extra charge just because it was available. The location is superb; within a 2 to 10 minute stroll of all major downtown attractions in Florence. Room decor, size, and bathroom amenities were very high class. We will stay in this hotel again if stopping by in Florence. It can be a little difficult to find. There is no large sign. When standing in the middle of Santa Maria Piazza, if you look facing the church, the hotel is at the 3 O'clock position on your right. You will have to pay for parking, but this is true for anywhere in downtown Firenza. Parking attendant was good and car was safe.

Stayed in a junior suite, the room was huge and luxurious and had a wonderful view of Santa Maria Novella Church, breakfast was delicious and staffs were friendly. The room was directly above a bar, people got drunk and sang all nite, especially at weekends. And there was an ambulance center right across the park in front of the hotel, we could hear siren all nite.

Staff extremely helpful. No problem when we wanted a bath instead of a shower. We were relocated most satisfactorily. I loved the rooms! Excellent breakfasts. Position ideal- only minutes from train station with buses nearby. Terrific stay.

The Hotel is almost impossible to reach by car. However, it is really close from Santa Maria Novella train station, it is just a 5 minutes walk. Internet works fine just at the lobby, poor performance.

The absolute beauty of this Hotel is with its location. You are no more than 5 mins from the centre of things in Florence. Rooms are classic in decour but lack a degree of functionality. Staff (those that speak English) were very warm & supportive.

We liked the breakfast buffet, the front desk staff, the location, our room's balcony, our room's big bathtub, the big walk-in closet, the whole style of the hotel. This is minor, but there were many stairs to navigate after taking the elevator up to our floor. Ten steps up, then a hallway, then six steps down, hallway, another eight steps up...etc. My knees were giving out already from all the walking we did all day and then it was another challenge to get to our room.

Great location. The breakfast was excellent. In general the hotel was great I would stay again if they had a different room. The room was not what I expected for an upgraded room. The housekeeping service for the room was not consistent. The map provided by the hotel for directions from the train station needs to be revised. It is not the most direct route and is difficult with suitcases. The room we stayed in was very dark - additional lights are needed. The in room kettle is not located near an outlet requiring us to move furniture to access it., Also the provide only tea and should add packets of instant coffee.

Staying at Hotel Santa Maria Novella was a very nice experience. The hotel was very well furnished and decorated. The room was beautiful, with marble bathroom and luxurious textiles. The bed was very comfortable, all the facilities clean and well kept. Room service was excellent. Breakfast was good (though I missed porridge and boiled eggs!). The location is superb! I certainly recommend to pay the extra euro for a room with a view of Santa Maria Novella - magical! With a brisk walk your at the Duomo in 10 minutes and at the train station in 5 minutes. Staff friendly, helpful and smiling all the time! The breakfast room was very beautiful but a bit too small to accomodate all the guests and on few mornings people had to wait in line for some time to get a seat.
