    There were lots of mosquitos in the room (despite it being October!)

    Good location, very close to all the main sights. The lady at reception (I think her name was Drita?) was extremely kind and helpful and recommended a fantastic restaurant nearby.

    You can improve breakfast with more options and be more generous with coffee.

    Good location. Clean room. Breakfast is just what you see in the picture, no eggs, but when I asked for a second cappuccino I was given a smaller cup. Staff was really nice. Laura was very helpful and gave us a city map that made easy to visit the important sights. Good value for price paid.

    Florence charm at its best and really good value for money!

    Everything was perfect! There was a glitch with communication beforehand but the hotel is aware of this and will sort it out.

    Such a charming, sweet old-fashioned hotel with everything you need in a great location, and such good value for money! I could not get over the amazing staff - the most helpful, friendly, warm people I have come across at a hotel - every one without exception! They really went above and beyond and made my stay so special. My room and the hotel in general was absolutely spotlessly clean and very comfortable in a quiet, safe area, just 1.5 km (20 minute stroll) to the Uffizi gallery, and even closer to the Duomo. The location was perfect for me because it was just outside the chaos of the old city centre, but within such easy reach of all the main attractions. There is also a bus that stops just a few metres from the hotel, so getting there with public transport is a breeze. Lovely breakfast each morning (with the best cappuccino in the world!) overlooking the gorgeous, quaint courtyard which really set me for the day. I loved my time at Hotel Rita Major and would definitely stay here again if I ever get the chance to go back to Florence!

    The room had a stronger sewage smell. The room's illumination is poor, even in the bathroom. The shower is bad in size and has no place to hold a soap. The shower head had a crack, and water splashed out of the shower forcing you to reduce the water pressure. the bathroom sink was clogged. The mattress is uncomfortable. Because the room in the street level, we have no privacy, too noise, lots of flies and mosquitoes entering the room as there was no protection net. No air conditioning and the fan was terrible.

    The property overall is good, but the room allocated to my family (3 people) was not pleasant.

    We liked the hotel, but here are our suggestions. The pillows were very flat, but we asked for 2 more. The room was quite sparse and it would be nice to have a little fridge and a kettle. The breakfast was a cold buffet with mostly sweet things. More cheese and eggs and maybe a toaster.

    A lovely clean hotel, in a great area. The terrace at the rear was very nice. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The old market was great and all easy walking distance. We walked from the train station which was easy. The hotel bar was handy and very reasonable

    Needing to bring a car into Florence meant the choices of hotels was reduced. This met our needs.

    I think we will get home to a traffic violation ticket as the road system was complicated and I did not understand about limited access to some roads. Parking was available in a garage a 9 minute walk from the hotel. Again avoiding the limited access roads was tricky. Not the fault of the hotel tho.

    Location ok for access to main attractions. The evening g staff were particularly helpful and suggested tour ideas for seeing main attractions which worked well. A local restaurant was recommended and we used it for two nights in a row as the food and service was good. We had access to a nice balcony which was most pleasant to sit out on.

    A small refrigerator in the room would have been a plus, but we did manage without it. Fluffier bed pillows would have been nice.

    The location, although slightly away from the city center, was still close enough that you could be in the city center after a 15 minute walk. The hotel staff was fantastic and the the breakfast was very nice! The rooms were very clean.
