The staff was really nice, the food was fantastic, and the hotel is right in the middle of the city, which made it possible to just walk around and bump into some of the most renowned places in the world.

in a prestigious location, helvetia & bristol is the right hotel for those who seek great service, discretion, and comfort in a landmark hotel. an amazing fiorentine experience.

Fernanda, Brazil

The staff was nice and all the details were managed finely.

Romain, France

Staff was amazingly friendly & helpful. The hotel is gorgeous.

Kathleen, Canada

Best location, the breakfast is good but expensive. The rooms are fine, but need a little updating. Location is everything here.

Christian, United States of America

The hotel is in Great Location. The staff was amazing. The concierge was very helpful. Our room was quite small but with lots of closet space, and nice bathroom. The bedding is amazing!

Natalya, United States of America

The staff of the hotel is just excellent, all talk good English, are polite and what's most important very helpful. Special thanks to the hotel's Front House Manager Mr. Gabriele Sequi, who solved our room size related problem in a very short period of time, which due to our long stay in Florence and handful of luggage was very important for us to be solved. The location is just perfect! all main sightseeings, museums, and shops are around. Ask front desk staff regarding the good restaurants, they give really good recommendations and make reservations for you. If we visit this city again we will definitely choose Helvetia&Bristol Firenze – Starhotels Collezione.

Sophia, Georgia

Some employees extremely helpful, professional and nice. Others not. Good sidewalk restaurant and service.

눉It will be perfect If they put a separate glass partition in bathroom to avoid water drop while using bath tap. We did not find any negative point. Everything was perfect and amazing.

눉My room overlooked the street, and the windows weren't the best at keeping the noise out. However, it wasn't a busy street so the noise was pretty infrequent. The hotel did provide earplugs though, which was a nice touch.

눉We found booking with booking.com gave us less opportunities and perks with the hotel. It was my parents 42nd anniversary, however due to agreement between booking.com and hotel, there were too many limitations or lack of attention to hospitable gestures. It seems to be better to book directly with the property than through booking.com.
눇The bartender and concergie were very accommodating and friendly. They helped us plan our visit in the city and accommodated to our dietary needs.

눉I definitely would love to see shower door on the bathtub. This way when you wash your hair with hand held shower the water does not splash all over.
