Everything was well maintained, and it had a relaxing atmosphere after a long day of exploring Rome. One of the best parts about this hotel is the location. It's close to practically everything and within walking distance of many of Rome's major attractions, restaurants, and shopping. It's also just a short walk from the train station, which made getting around the city and traveling incredibly convenient. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a great variety of fresh food every morning, and the pool was a wonderful place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Those extra amenities really made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Between the excellent location, comfortable accommodations, amazing breakfast buffet, relaxing pool, and friendly service, I highly recommend Grand Hotel Minerva to anyone visiting Rome. Easy 5 stars!

Booked through the hotel collection with AMEX travel and received such an amazing return. Giulia/Giuseppe were superb! Giulia took care of our check in and is full of amazing information! Giuseppe helped guide us to our rooms and was helpful in explaining how the room worked. The wait staff in the breakfast and the lounge/bar area were all very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our honeymoon staying on property. A little bummed that the pool was closed but it was chilly in November so I totally understand. The rooftop was still open for use if you want to go take photos of the amazing view or bring your beverage to enjoy. I can't wait to come back to Florence and will be looking forward to staying on property again. My favorite was the breakfast buffet! The cappuccino, americano, the buffet spread.... Gah I dream about it still. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful, open and great water pressure w the rain style sprayer in the shower. Love the bidet but I think that's just standard in European style bathroom. Lastly, the view! We really lucked out w the room and the location... definitely the best hotel I've stayed at so far and we can't wait to be back.

Courtyard parking is ample clean and safe; well worth €20 daily. Breakfast buffet offers an array of yummy pastries, breads, fruit and beverages. Espresso-based drinks are excellent! The room is large for European standards and is modern and clean. Bathroom is very modern. Bonus: a 110/220 built-in voltage converter in the bathroom. The room never felt cramped. Despite being near a fairly busy street, we never heard a peep at night. Free Wi-Fi was very nice to have. Elevator is truly the smallest in which I've every been: room for two people and two suitcases, and perhaps a bit of oxygen to breath. Each night, they had appetizers and wine. Always nice. Out back is a tree-covered patio for sitting. If we return to Florence, this will be at the top of our list. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Even with my inability to consume their delicious wine at the hotel, it is a perfect stay.

I have enjoyed the luxury of five-star hotels in many cities of the world during my career, but…read morethis one takes the 'biscotti'. Situated on a piazza on the banks of the River Arno and just a short walk from the city centre, it was originally an 18th century palace. My stay there was 'co-financed' (not by the establishment) and I would certainly not usually be able to afford it now. Walking in for the first time was something like entering Buckingham Palace whilst wearing no trousers. Not because of the (charming) reception from the staff, but because of the sheer awe and style of the surroundings. You kind of imagine Anthony Hopkins appearing out of the blue and checking in beside you. What to say? Good afternoon, Sir Anthony. Maybe: Well hello there, Dr. Lecter ;-) Our room was 'rather large' with a separate dressing room and a bathroom that I would like to have dismantled and taken home. The room's appearance was the very embodiment of Tuscan culture, with frescoes gracing the walls, period furnishings and a bed of almost adequate size for an orgy. Particular mention should be made of the concierge. With 'olde worlde' grace, he was a sort of 'Tuscan Jeeves'. He would gently lower his spectacles a little before taking delight in charmingly answering all questions. He also took pleasure in proactively giving recomendations about places of interest that so many visitors to Florence often missed out on. On that note, it is worthwhile noting that an advance E-mail to the hotel will pre-book tickets to the Uffizi gallery for guests. This means that you have to queue for 20 minutes, rather than the 3+ hours that normal visitors have to gallantly endure. I have to admit that we did not dine there because of fiscal considerations ;-). However, sitting outside at their piazza bar on a warm evening, slowly guzzling prosecco, was a memorable experience. Complaints? The television in the room looked so out place within the graceful environment that we considered heaving it into the river below, with all the vigour of petulant rock stars. The name of the General Manager is also not entirely unassociated with Florentine history: Dr Antonello de' Medici!
