Donatello Hotel Florence

The Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was really good

I stayed three days, and was very pleased. It's a clean hotel with friendly staff (very good English spoken here) in a very convenient location (a 5-10 minute walk to the main train/bus station, about 10 minutes to the Duomo). You'll be unhappy if you're expecting a luxury hotel or a place to hang out all day. My room was very small - about 10 by 12 - and internet cost extra. That's not what you get here. But if the price is right (and I paid only about $80/night in August), it's a great place to hang your hat after touring the town.

Breakfast was good, close to train station and other places to visit. Clean room, good size, air conditioning felt great. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved this hotel. It was a short walk to all of the main sights and attractions. The room was really big for a European hotel room. Our room had a skylight which was awesome! Breakfast was good and the staff were all very helpful. My only criticism is that it cost money to connect to the internet. Luckily there was a great bar nearby with free wifi. There were lots of great bars and restaurants really close to the hotel. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel! It was a great value--very high quality considering how cheap it is!

One usually doesn't expect much from a 3-star hotel, but this one beat all my expectations. The staff was friendly and courteous. The room was large, nicely appointed, with a roomy bathroom, refrigerator and even an in-room safe. Breakfast was included and good. And the location was very convenient, about 4 blocks from the train station and within easy walking distance of everything, yet in a quiet spot.

Loved this place! Quiet as can be in an excessively noisy city.

The Donatello is great for summer visits to Florence. Good air conditioning, heavy traditional window shutters, cool tile floors instead of sticky carpet, marble bathrooms, and breakfast tables outdoors in a pretty shaded courtyard. They accommodated our request for two rooms for a large family group with only one glitch in the reservation for one room on the first night. Walking distance to the Academia, Ufizzi, and Duomo, and not a bad walk from the train station.

IT was close to train and 10 min walk to Academia and Uffizzi:)we just walked everywhere:) room was large and comfy. breakfast was nice.we got Free WIFI.only because our room was close to another hotel:) Donetelo was charging for it. Firenze was expensive but this hotel was a great value!

Easy check in with the confirmation number. Friendly staff. The room wasn't ready but the service lady worked quickly and looked for us when our rooms were ready. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast choices were good and adequate to satisfy anyone. The only weird things: you have to call from your room to have the air conditioning turned on remotely and there isn't any way to regulate it; wi-fi is available but not free, I only could access it in the corridor but not from in my room (319).

This hotel is in a perfectlocation. You can walk to any of the major attractions, the railway and the park across the road is well lit and a meeting place for families and friends. The police station is also in the plaza so it is a safe place for solo travellers. The desk staff were friendly and went out of their way to help in any way they could. The little garden area is a nice place to relax. The Internet is not free and costly. Breakfast is contiinental and OK if you like a hit of sugar in the mornings. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again if I return to Florence.
