Benivieni Hotel

Amazing location, practically next door to the Duomo. Hotel excellent 5 stars.

Fab place to stay, we had a wonderful time and would happily stay here again.

Excellent hotel very near the cathedral

Lovely friendly hotel in the perfect location in Florence. The room was a good size, quiet and clean. The decor was pleasant and the bathroom was nice.

This hotel is at most 200 yards from the Duomo, close enough to hear the bells, although luckily they don't ring at night! It is located on a backstreet which runs parallel to the Piazza del Duomo which sadly provides a rat-run for the traffic that is not allowed around the square anymore, so you need to watch out when walking to and from the hotel. Otherwise it is in a perfect position for sightseeing, close to all of the major landmarks. Reception is stylish and the staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. All spoke excellent English. Our comfortable room was on the ground floor, opening off from a comfortable airy atrium. It was full of character, with a vaulted ceiling, although the window opened onto a slightly dingy backstreet. The bathroom was clean and modern, with plentiful hot water. Drinks were available from Reception, for a reasonable price. Optional breakfast was plentiful (coffee, tea, juice, fresh bread, pastries, eggs and cereals) if not inspiring. Excellent base to explore the city and so easy to head back to if in need of a rest. It is also an easy walk from the station at Santa Maria Novella for connections to Pisa Airport. We had a wonderful time and would whole-heartedly recommend this hotel as the ideal place to stay if you want to be right in the middle of the life of the city, and not pay a fortune for the privilege.

Ideally situated hotel in centre of Florence one minute's walk from the cathedral. Room was comfortable and receptionists & night porter very helpful. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby plus a bookshop selling English books opposite the hotel. Breakfast was 9 euros and although there was not much choice it was adequate.

I won't recommend the place to even an enemy. it has unresponsive unprofessional and absolutely rude front desk staff. The room is cold and climate controlled by the the from office! You only get a room with a bed, no water, basic amenities whatsoever. I was overcharged for my daughter despiteI informing them prior to my arrival. No proper invoice was issued even after requesting. I'm sure the front office staff shares the additional amounts. Even the complaints are read by the same staff. If they are the owners, then imagine the plight of guests! They also overcharged me on tax which I realized later. Worst hotel experience ever.

Location was excellent and it was a decent value for the money, especially since it was a last-minute online booking. The room was on the small side, but that was the same everywhere we stayed.

Excellent hotel in a perfect location. A friend recommended this hotel to me and I couldn't be happier. The rooms are nice and clean. Nice little cafe downstairs for coffee and light bites. A perfect hotel for anyone wanting to enjoy Florence!
