Hotel Spadai was highly recommended to us by my sister-in-law. She constantly raves about the…read moreplace, and I could totally see why. The hotel was centrally located, and it's one of the more modern, elegant hotels we've stayed at during our trip. The Duomo and Piazza Santa Maria Novella were steps away from the hotel, and it's a less than 10 minute taxi to the train station. Their complimentary breakfast was amazing. They offered a huge variety of items including hot food, tortes, cereals, fruit, cheeses, parfaits, quiches, etc. I enjoyed a latte every morning with them. Our room at Hotel Spadai was excellent. Very spacious with tall ceilings and had plenty of room for us to lay out 2 large pieces of luggage and 2 small carry-ons. The bathroom was big as well, but the shower was disproportionate to it. The shower felt so much smaller, and what's weird was its two double doors. The doors met at the corner of the shower and didn't close all the way, so water could easily escape to the floor. Other than that, I would 1000% stay at this hotel again next time I'm in Florence.

The best hotel I've ever had the pleasure of staying at! From check-in to check-out, everything was…read moreabsolutely top-notch. The room and bathroom were spacious, luxurious, and beautifully designed. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and every detail of the experience felt thoughtful and elevated. The amenities were fantastic -- especially the unexpected happy hour at the bar, which was such a lovely touch. And the breakfast buffet? Truly unmatched. I'm convinced every future hotel breakfast will pale in comparison. I still think about the incredibly fresh raspberries and strawberries I had every morning! I also loved the robes and slippers provided in the room, which made the stay feel even more comfortable and indulgent. The location is perfect -- close to everything and just steps from the Duomo, yet surprisingly peaceful and not overly noisy. The hotel itself smells amazing and is decorated in such a beautiful, modern style. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about this hotel. It was worth every penny, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I booked this hotel last minute at 1am. I booked based on reviews. Now there are a few things I…read moremust say it is NOT your typical hotel no boutique no BnB I can't explain it. I checked in the hotel very late the caretaker was helpful and nice. He even lugged my heavy ass luggage to my room. Getting to rooms is where it starts to get weird ... it's like you have to leave bread crumbs down to make sure you find your way back to where you started. Literally out down over through up turn left right I was like wtf where am I going. Yes it is a very old hotel or whatever. It is like a scary movie I felt Norman Bates or Jack Nicholson was waiting for me at any second. The place is huge and very very eclectic. It's very unique I mean if it were a house I would love to live there because of the uniqueness. But I have to admit pretty spooky at night but the room is comfortable clean the AC blasted water pressure cool. I find in Europe most Queen beds are twins together so that didn't bother me the tub was clean I didn't have to wear shower shoes. The only drawback was NO IRON so most of my clothes I wore stretched since I couldn't iron. No coffee machine it had a fridge. They mentioned something about misquotes but I didn't have an issue. All in all it is different yet cool and very close to a lot of stuff.

Although we had a number of non-standard needs due to multiple family members arriving at different days and times, everything went very smoothly and the staff were gracious and accommodating. Special thanks to Erika and Laura who helped us set up some storage for our luggage for the several hours post-checkout as well as arranging a cab for travel outside the city. Really everyone was super helpful and we intend to return at the next opportunity! The hotel itself is also fantastic and represents the classical Italian aesthetic ina very appealing way. Good WiFi, excellent breakfast buffet, no hotel restaurant but super nice courtyard. Reasonable cost, 10 minute walk to the Duomo and Central Market. Decent AC and bathrooms!

Trust me- you will not regret it. We have stayed in many hotels, and they definitely made their way to the top in hospitality! From the moment we arrived, we were kindly greeted and informed about the many offerings the hotel shares with its guests, perks like: free happy hour, assortment of beverages, complimentary breakfast etc. The atmosphere is relaxed, it's like you've stepped into a relaxed environment amongst the hustle and bustle of Florence. Oh and the rooms! Each immaculately designed. Truthfully, Hotel David had the most comfortable beds out of our entire stay in Italy! It was so nice to sleep well. Lastly, I want to shout out the staff- the people who worked here were so kind and welcoming and I truly appreciate their warmth! Next time we stay in Florence, this is where we'll be! Grazie mille Hotel David!

Along the way, my train had to stop for two hours, while an accident on the tracks ahead was investigated. I stayed in touch with the people at La Contessina, as I learned more about how much of a delay this was going to cause.

When I was able to arrive, at around midnight, I was overjoyed that there was somebody there who was able to help me get into my room. Also delighted that the room was beautiful! The bed was comfortable, and the ambiance of the room was extraordinary. My only regret was that I had to leave early in the morning, so I didn't have the opportunity to fully experience this venue.
