We loved the view of the Arno River from our room. Also the large bathroom. The location was excellent for walking to all the sights of the city.

The Hotel location and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding. Althought the Hotel serves breakfast, it does not offer lunch or diner. That does not present a problem, as the staff can recommend many fine resturants within walking distance from hotel. Only negative about the hotel is that the bed in the room is extra firm, and could be softer for a more comfortable nights rest.

This is a central hotel only a very short walk from all the important tourist attractions and top restaurants. Parking is a problem naturally. The rooms were clean and basic and not luxurious in any way but generally speaking we were delighted with the hotel and the staff and we found it good value for money.

The assistance and friendliness of all staff was outstanding. Location of Balestri is ideal. I think the breakfast could be improved. Fresh fruit? The attendant in the breakfast room though was so helpful and brought anything to us that we needed. My only critisism is that the single room that I was allocated was so small. I am realising that as a single person, we are always allocated the smallest and pokiest rooms in hotels and this was the case at Balestri. However the view over the Arno was great. I would definitely return and hope to find the renovations all complete by then. Please keep me updated on the renovations and when all is complete. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay.

The location was perfect and the efficieny, friendliness and helpfulness on arrival could not be faulted. We are a 'mature, family and booked 3 rooms i.e.2 doubles and 1 single for adults with age range from 31 to 59. Hotel ideal for guests looking for a quality central base for sightseeing and dining out.

Great location, service very good. Rooms looked a little "spartan" in decor, but not bad in any way, just not to our taste. Breakfast included in the price of the room was very good and served in a nice room. Considering the location and the price, it's a great deal. Highly recommended.

Great location in Florence, most attractions are easy within easy walking distance, even with a two year old! Very accomodating staff, the room I was initially assigned did not have a cot for my daughter, and I was then moved to a room with a double bed and a futon in the room. I came back that night after dinner and the futon was all set up to go to sleep. Great hotel, will definitely be back!
