Good location, the bed is large enough for 2 persons. It is very quiet in the night time. The breakfast is simple but enough (bread, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee, milk, juice...etc.). we like it.

Hua, United States of America

Besides the location, it was great to have 24hr reception, later checkin than expected and an elevator. I didnt have time to try the breakfast bc I had to also leave very early.

Izabela, Netherlands

Very friendly staff always there to take care of me. Very central location, great rooms and breakfast. I would recommended for sure!!

Afrodite, Greece

I liked the convenient location beside San Lorenzo, 5 mn walk to the duomo and to the train station where you can easily take the shuttle to the airport. I'd liked also to note the helpfull staff. My single bedroom was very very small but functional and clean. You can find a very nice terrace in the hotel, that I 'couldn't enjoy because it was too hot outside.

Hotel Palazzo Benci is a very nice place with great location. Capella Medici is almost at the next door and Duomo, Uffizi are 5/10-minutes walk from the hotel. Single room is tiny but equipped with almost everything required. Breakfast's quite decent but nevertheless tasty, and coffee was the best ever during my trip. The reception service is worth noticing as well, a very polite & professional attititude to any questions and requests.

Oxana, Russia

Fantastic location in the middle of the center of Florence! The staff is really friendly, however the hotel is a little out-dated, but clean.

Kirsten, Netherlands

“Good location and helpfull staff”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The hotel is old-fashioned furnished and the lift is old and slow (but still works). The italian food is really good but unfortunately the breakfast in this hotel is not the reflection of that. Industrial ham and orange juice, canned fruits. No eggs, little fresh fruits...Breakfast should be improved,
눇I liked the convenient location beside San Lorenzo, 5 mn walk to the duomo and to the train station where you can easily take the shuttle to the airport. I'd liked also to note the helpfull staff.

“Palazzo Benchi is dirty and full of mold - stay away from it!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉There was black mold in the bathroom of room 105 of this hotel--terrible! It was all around the bathroom window, on the ceiling, and in the corners of the bath tub. This is a health hazard and unsafe and I told the front desk about this problem. Also, the walls of the room were filthy--it looked like they had not been cleaned for months, if not years. I was appalled at the condition of this room. The beds were bad--two mattresses were old, and on one of them the springs stuck up. The other bed was rock hard.
눇The location was good

“Sleeping in a Palazzo in Florence”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I think they could improve the internet connection. It was slowly and often got disconnected.
눇Excellent location, only few minutes from the cathedrals and 20 minutes walk from Arno. You can go back to the room to change for the dinner or have a shower after an exhausting sithseeing. The room is small, but tidy and well-equipped. The windows keep the noise totally outside, so the room is silent, you can sleep well. The breakfast is served in a nice room, with fresco and view to the square. The employees are very helpful.
