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.

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.

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.

Very Nice Experience

Great location, close to train station but not too close. Room was a nice size. Public areas of hotel were absolutely gorgeous. Room itself was rather plain. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had full size tub and shower. Great roof top public area on 3rd floor where you can sit and read and get some sun. Wireless in hotel lobby only. Had shampoo, bath wash, hair dryer, TV, air. Overall experience was very positive.

Great Family Vacation

Great Family Vacation

This was both the lowest rate that we paid during our Italian vacation as well as the highest quality hotel. Located just down the street from the Medici Chapel, it was easy to get to from the SMN train station. We had easy access to the Duomo and all the main sites in Florence. The rooms were quite spacious and quite clean. If you stay on floor 4 or above you will have a very nice view of the city from your window. Make sure and get up to the 6th floor balcony for excellent views. The staff was excellent and dealt with our minimal Italian skills.

The restaurant in the hotel was quite good. The Ravioli with Butter and Sage sauce was really tasty. Try the chocolate cake for desert and you will not be disappointed.

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.
