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.

눉Staff seemed confused, they made numerous little errors or things weren't quite working (eg bags sent to wrong room, safe didn't work). Rooms had a weird layout and the ones near above the resturant are loud where you can hear the dishes in the kitchen. For a hotel to claim 5 star every little thing needs to be perfect and it wasn't.
눇Great central location within walking distance to both the train station or the major sites.
