Spectacular small hotel right in the heart of Florence. This place is unbelievably close to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore...as in, it is almost adjacent to it. Our room was exceptional and the staff was attentive. We only wished that we could have stayed longer. One note...we brought a rental car to this hotel, and reaching it through the streets of Florence was fairly challenging. If you do that, I would plan ahead and get clear arrival instructions from the hotel in advance, as relying on guidance from a map app may not work well. Overall, a beautiful hotel!

Very central. Easy to walk everywhere and very close to duomo. The rooms are large with a small AC, so if you go in summer keep in mind it is hard to cool the rooms down. Bathrooms not air conditioned but large and nice. Small boutique hotel with accommodating staff and a good breakfast

Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo is a gem and exceeded our expectations. We had views of the Duomo from our very large windows. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Our room was amazing with every detail designed to take you back in time, but with modern amenities. I highly recommend, especially due to the proximity to all of the major sights and museums.

This is an excellent hotel and in most respects a five star hotel. The positives are a beautiful historic building with frescos on the ceiling and antique furniture several centuries old. The. view from our room of the Duomo was spectacular. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the services from employees was first class in all respects. The only negative was significant. The room had a very strong sewer odor that made it almost uninhabitable. The solution was to open the three large windows overlooking the Duomo and this made the odor dissipate to acceptable levels. Unfortunately the tourist and youthful population of Florence drinks and partties until 2-3am in the morning and the Duomo is a popular place. The loud noise made sleeping very difficult. We chose noise over sewer smell but this is not a choice that a client paying over $700 per night should have to make. We also had some water leakage problems in the bathroom. I think much of the issue may stem from rain and old infrastructure of the city but they should have made us aware of this reality before accepting our reservation. The room was # 9 called the Empire Suite. Resolving this problem the Palazzo Niccolini would deserve the highest rating.

Absolutely fantastic property right next to the Duomo, literally with a view of the dome from the room. It is a historical residence from the 1700s converted to a hotel. The rooms are all unique and different from one another. They are large with the feel of a historic residence while still having all the modern amenities. You can walk to all the attractions and also a 10ish minute walk to the station - totally doable if you just have carry on luggage. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to checkin early since our train arrived before the checkin time. Email responses were super fast! Can’t find anything negative to share. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again if we visit Florence again.
