Lock in a great price for Hotel Bretagna – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location was excellent! The staff SO helpful, and the room was beautiful. The buffet breakfast was bountiful...there was nothing that was not offered. I felt safe and appreciated the openness of the hotel...not so many dark alleys to go down in order to find it. I was put at the Palazza Alfieri since there was a problem at the Hotel Bretagna. I felt like I won the lottery. If Hotel Bretagna is any nicer than Palazza Alfieri, then i look forward to visiting there on my next trip to Florence.

Located just a block away from ponte Vecchio right on the river, this hotel is perfectly located at the center of all important sights of Florence. The rroms are comfortable and the staff is outstanding.

Lia, Israel

I really can not fault this hotel, I really don't know how it is only a 3 star hotel,So much character, so cute, nothing was to much trouble for the reception staff. Breakfast was amazing n a little cafe a few doors down from the hotel but it only added to the quaintness.

Victoria, United Kingdom

Our room was large and really nice.The staff were really helpful and friendly.

Chantelle, Malta

Wigsy, Italy

This place was a lucky choice but wouldn't regret it at all. We enjoyed this place in every way. We were given an excellent accommodation. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was incredibly excellent.

Antoine, Malta

Great location- walkind distance to everything! Clean hotel

John, Italy

Everything. The staff were super helpful and friendly, the location is only 10 minutes by foot from the center of the old town, and the historic hotel building is something to see. The parking is located in the building next to the hotel, but they are very helpful to bring the car out for you when you leave, and park it for you when you come.

Andris, Germany

Our view overlooking the river was both beautiful and serene. That combined with the polite, informative and helpful staff made our stay exceptional. The breakfast, which was located in a restaurant a very short walk down the road, was also wonderful.

Deborah, United States of America

눇Fantastic location, right in the heart of the city with great access to all of the main sights (2 minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio) and overlooking the River Arno. Breakfast is superb at the local cafe downstairs - lots to taste and eat to prepare for a days sightseeing.

“Disappointed.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉We stayed there in 2007 and in a room facing Arno river. We were the first guests in that room after a major renewal and they were perfect. This time we booked rooms without river view expecting the same comfort level, except for the view... and size! The room was OK but the bathroom was very old, the shower was subpar and there was lots of noise from other rooms. The corridors were full of construction dust and smelled mold. It was a bitter experience for us, specially because I booked on behalf a very demanding couple and based on my previous experience. Cost/benefit is not attractive.
눇Firenze (Florence) is all about being able to walk anywhere, and Bretagna's location is 10 out of 10. The breakfast was also another perfect score, for food and facility. Although the hotel is located inside a ZTL (limited traffic zone) they provide their guests a special permission for driving and parking.

눉There are no bar or restaurant facilities at the Hotel. We stayed here 3 years ago and part of the charm was the dining room that was used for breakfast. You are now required to use a restaurant down the street for breakfast.

눉Paid for a Deluxe room, and got a massive room that looked like someone had put a bed in a museum, as it had a fresco on the ceiling, but no comforts. No extra amenities, very dark room, cold wooden floor, worn-out bathroom. Not value for money.
눇Great location.

“Good location and staff / bad accommodations”
- • Leisure trip

눉However the hotel actually is in a residential building with its reception on the second floor and the rooms located on the fourth floor. Rooms that are old, with dated electronics and furniture.
눇Well located Hotel, close to the train station Santa Maria Novella, Vechio bridge and the city center. Excellent breakfast, served in an establishment next to the hotel. Attentive and helpful staff.

“A great first visit to Tuscany.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Junior Suite with River View
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Having to come home! (It was particularly hot in Florence when we were there at the end of March and we were told hotels are not allowed to put the air-conditioning on 'til May. We were offered a fan but decided against it and managed to sleep OK. We had a plug-in mossie repellant as being near a slow moving river we were worried about being bitten but were fine.)
눇This review will need retitling as the Bretagna was being refurbished during our visit and we stayed at Palazzo Alfieri which was 2 doors down. We'd booked a Junior Suite with river view and got a similar room at the Alfieri. It was large with a high ceiling and the promised river view as well as being well furnished. The bathroom was large with a walk in shower that you could have got the whole Azzurri front row in together! (Although why would you want to do that in beautiful Florence?) There was also a large jacuzzi bath, that my wife almost managed to get lost in plus a bidet and other essentials that you would expect in a luxury bathroom. The large double bed was comfy and there were screens that pulled across to partition the sleeping area off from the; minibar, daybed, coffee table, flat screen TV and cupboards that contained the full size kettle and courtesy tray. There were also much appreciated touches such as dressing gowns, slippers, a safe and an iron and ironing board. This was great for us as we'd had 1 night in Pisa to see the Tower etc. but had not bothered to unpack and our clothes had been in the case more than 24 hours by the time we got to Florence. The buffet style breakfast was served downstairs in the Alfieri restaurant and was well presented with more choices than we could sample in our 3 night stay. Staff were attentive and you only had to look up if you wanted more coffee or other hot drinks. There were 4 or 5 different types of croissants as well as cooked options and even tiramisu to finish. I must not forget to mention the roof terrace as it was a great way to start the evening by having our first drink taking in the roof top views of beautiful Florence!
