Accommodations in historic buildings belonging to Florentine nobility
The Astoria Hotel Florence is a graceful and intelligent 4-star property, a proud member of the Boscolo hotel portfolio whose properties cater to the most seasoned travelers. The hotel's buildings belong to noble Florentine families, whose treasured art collection adds a prestige that inspires and uplifts. Rooms are functional and comforting, with some that offer coveted views of the city and its architectural masterpieces.

  • Located just a short walk to Florence's historic center
  • Prestigious décor in the Florentine Baroque style
Rooms
Rooms are saturated with Florentine aesthetics, including fresco-adorned walls and period furnishings, all gathered in graceful elegance both inviting and invigorating. The 98 rooms at the Astoria Hotel Florence are divided among classic, deluxe and junior suite configurations, some offering a private terrace that overlooks the city, while others that feature a view of the Duomo or historic center. All include modern conveniences and amenities, assuring guests of a pampered and indulgent visit.
Features
Situated in the rooms of the Palazzo Gaddi and Palazzo Arrighetti, historic buildings belonging to Florentine nobility, the Astoria Hotel Florence exudes prestige and polished decadence, with a history that reaffirms its local prominence. It was here where famed author John Milton found inspiration for, as well as composed, the classic Paradise Lost and an impressive collection of notable works of art grace the walls of both guest rooms and public spaces.

The on-site Palazzo Gaddi Restaurant serves contemporary Mediterranean dishes and the Wine Bar Agora offers an extensive collection of fine Tuscan wines and sumptuous antipasti.

Good location, fair room.

The Astoria is in the Santa Maria Novella neighborhood, so the location is good. Nice lobby, average room. Problem: a bathtub that was so narrow I could not have my feet flat! The shower water pressure was poor, although the water ran well for a bath. We had not included the breakfast in our booking, and were told we could add it for an additional 15 Euro each. Yikes! We went elsewhere. A very nice touch was a personal knock on the door as our 4:00 AM wake up to catch a flight. Friendly staff.

AU COEUR DU CENTRE VILLE

Hotel très bien situé au centre ville mais sans les nuisances sonores. Hotel et personnel agréables mais la chambres n'est pas aussi belle et aussi grande que je l'avais imaginé

Les restaurants a Florence sont de qualité médiocre, pour les touristes. Les pizzas et les pates ne sont certainement pas meilleurs qu'à Paris...Il faut compter en sus le prix du services #inclus dans l'addition# et aucun légume n'est servi avec le plat, il faut donc payer en plus les accompagnements. Pas de carafe d'eau mais bien sur de l'eau minérale, en plus les serveurs ne sont pas très agréables avec les touristes et perdent vite patience s'il ne comprennent pas tout de suite...

Erinomainen sijainti, mutta rikkinäiset hanat häiritsivät

En kutsuisi neljän tähden hotelliksi. On ehkä joskus ollut. Hyvin pieni amme eikä suihkuverhoa, joten lattia kastui, vaikka kuinka varovasti yritti suihkutella. Valokatkaisinrasioista ja pesualtaan hanasta puuttuivat päällykset ja viimemainittu oli hyvin kankea käyttää. Hotelli kaipaisi siis sähkö- ja lvi-peruskorjauksen. Aamiainen oli myös hyvin vaatimaton verrattuna muihin ****-hotelleihin. Sänky oli hyvä, mutta epäekologisesti pyyhkeet vaihdettiin päivittäin.

Hieno vanha hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla

Puitteet ja sisutus olivat hienot. Hotelli oli vähän kolhuinen ja vanha, mutta kaikin puolin mukava. Miinusta ikivanhasta ilmastoinnista, joka ei toiminut kunnolla ja viemärinhajusta. Huone oli siisti ja mukava. Hyvä paikka, jos pienet kauneusvirheet eivät haittaa.

Erinomainen lyhyehköön lomaan

Hotelli on ikääntynyt arvokkaasti. Hotelli rauhallisella pikkukadulla. Sijainti on erinomainen aseman ja Duomon puolivälissä, kävelyetäisyydellä koko Firenzen päänähtävyyksiin. Runsas ja suht mnipuolinen aamiaispuffet hintaan 12,50€. Olemme tyytyväisiä hotellivalintaamme!
