Wonderfully located just across the street from Santa Maria Novella Station, but still very quiet. I had a lovely view of the Duomo from my room. Great breakfast included.

When we first arrived at the hotel, they did not have our reservation from Orbitz. Luckily we had brought a copy of the receipt with us. Within a few minutes they were able to find a room for us. The staff was nice. Every morning we ate the included breakfast. It was served in the restaurant on the top floor. It gave a beautiful view of Florence. The location is great. The walk is not that far to most of the more popular places. We highly recommend this place, but you might want to call to ahead of time make sure they have your reservation.

Nice locality, you can walk around every where easily, near to train station. Staff friendly Terresa was very helpful. Breakfast was bit poor choice, place for breakfast was excellent with view of the city. Our room was nice and spacious. Dinning menu was poor,so have to eat out in evening,any way you are out so better eat out and come to hotel.I would like to stay again there.

Stayed 7 days. Location not too picturesque as it is across from train station, however, central to absolutely everything!. Bring your walking shoes. Decor is beautiful with a great old world flavor. Had a large, outside room on 3rd floor with a King size bed. Some street noise but not enough to bother with. The inside rooms might be quieter but we saw them and they were really small and cramped. A little wear around edges of bathroom but immaculately clean. Free buffet breakfast delicious (especially the coffee) with excellent variety. Views from rooftop garden excellent photo op. My only complaint was the wash cloths---there were none to be had. Perhaps this is cultural but I for one like to wash my face.

Through the travel website, I had to find a Hotel in Florence quickly to visit my ailing son studying in Florence. The Baglioni's location, beautiful, comfortable room with modern bath and minibar and complementary full breakfast in their top floor dining room overlooking all of Florence was a real bargain and treat. This past week I stayed at the very pricey Westin Excelsior which I had booked leisurely in January and found it very inferior to the Baglioni. Their complete breakfast (inferior to the Baglioni's and served in a dark,cavernous room) cost 39 Euro. The room was smaller, had no "Heavenly Bed", and had inferior housekeeping. The Baglioni was only 2 blocks away...wished I'd stayed there again.

The hotel was fabulous as good as the other Baglioni hotels in Italy and also in London. Fabulous value for money considering the status of the hotel. Wonderful staff - very helpful and fluent English, great restaurant where the food was as good as you would get in any restaurant any where in the world. Loved the roof terrace for dinner, drinks and dancing to a live musician and also the breakfast room on the same level with the views of the city and the hills. Will recommend to friends and also stay again.

I was dissapointed with this hotel as I feel it didnt match up with image portrayed on net. The decor of the room was not to my liking and was quite dark. Apart from this room was clean breakfast very good and location was handy as we came straight from train station its directly opposite. I was a bit annoyed that the roof garden was out of bounds as a wedding party had it booked out.It was one reason I had booked the hotel in first place.On the whole it was fine good breakfast and centrally located and clean.It would have been perfect if we had got a nicer room thats all.

On check-in, the staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I stayed seven nights so the person at check-in gave us a free room upgrade. The room was extremely large even compared to US standards. The room had a 20 ft ornate wooden ceiling and a wooden parquet floor. It was wonderful. Free breakfast on the top floor restaurant was great - both for the food and the view of the city! This hotel had a great location being next to the train station and in the heart of the old city. We could walk to all the major city sites in just minutes. Plus, there are many fine restaurants within a minute walk from the hotel. Just a few steps from the hotel is an underground walkway to the train station which is nice since you can take day trips out of Florence to Pisa, Venice or any one of the many great Tuscan hill villages. Plus, it has a bus stop just outside the front door, too. 20 Euro cab ride from the airport to hotel but you can take a bus from the airport. My advice is to spring for the cab. It?s much faster. When I return to Florence, I will stay here again. It was wonderful. The architecture and art of this hotel matched the famed architecture and art of Florence.

This was our favorite hotel during our stay in Italy. The location is great - a short walk to the train station and to many of the museums and historical attractions. The hotel staff was very helpful and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was very good and the dinner in the restaurant was also good. OUr room was quite large and very well furnished. We had a few questions before our trip and the hotel was very prompt with e-mail responses to our questions. We will definitely stay here agian.

Good location, breakfast room with fantastic view ... charming historical hotel

Date of Stay: September, 2007

My wife and I just returned from a week long stay at the Baglioni. We loved Florence and we loved the hotel, It is in a great location. Close to the shops, sites, train station, and bus tours. The staff was also great. They are very helpful and friendly. The bed was a little hard but I think that is just the way it is in Italy. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Florence. I know this is where we will stay when we return to Florence.

Date of Stay: July, 2007

This is a very nice hotel for those traveling by train as it is about 100 yards away from the main station in Florence. It is a large property & our room was a delightful surprise, being large & rather elegant with wooden floors, lots of closets, & a lovely carved wooden ceiling. My only letdown here was the dining room which never seemed to be open. Our first evening it was booked for a private party & the second we got there at the wrong times & had to search elsewhere for a meal. I would definitely book here again, but would research places to eat elsewhere before arriving.

A Grand hotel in a great location with a staff that wants to make things ""easier"" for the traveler. Access to a parking garage and valet was wonderful. Ever drive in Florence?

	Date of Stay: April, 2007
This hotel is a block for the train station and close to everything in Florence. The staff was friendly. It was a good value.

"Hotel is conveniently located 1 block from SMN train station. The rooms are well appointed with old world Italian charm, clean and helpful service. All spoke English (plus!). Hotel is pricey but worth every penny."

Date of Stay: July, 2006

"Outstanding! The hotel was much more than we expected. Fabulous location, room was immaculate (providing all the latest conveniences) , breakfast was awesome and service was good. We had a car and the hotel provided a private parking garage, at a price, which was great. Restaurant menu was not your typical Tuscan fare as well not suitable for children however the view was breathtaking. I would definitely recommend it; we would go back however skip the restaurant."

Date of Stay: May, 2006

"A great hotel for a great city! Staff was gracious, location was more than we could have asked for, and breakfast was included. Room was on the rooftop, which we had all to ourselves. Hotel is not modern but the rooms themselves have been updated and are very comfortable with great airconditioning. Very classy hotel - one block from the train station if you're headed to another city in Italy or a bus tour. Definatly would stay here again!"
