It is a wonderful hotel located in the most amazing place - wall to wall to Ufizzi Gallery. The breakfast room overlooking Ponte Vecchio has a beautifully painted ceiling. There are several cute restaurants not more than 2 minutes walk from the hotel, not to mention that everything that one should see in Florence is in not more than 10 minutes walk from the hotel.

Cleanest rooms of any hotel I have ever stayed at, and I have traveled to over 100 countries. The location was perfect, 15 minute walking distance to everything anyone would want to see with only 2 days in Florence. We had apartment 51, and it was a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite with kitchen, and living room for the booked rate of a standard room 299 euros. Breakfast was great, everthing available, bacon & eggs, furit, meats & cheese, everything!!! This is the place to stay in this city.

This is a very nice hotel. The website driving directions were a bit vague and if we'd used them we would have had difficulty getting there as we drove up from Umbria. Front desk staff was at times a bit indifferent, but the overall staff was very friendly and helpful. We requested a room facing the river, it was a great room, but it was on the first floor so there was a lot of street noise. The rooftop bar and terrace is very nice and very reasonably priced. Overall, an excellent stay.

This was the best hotel during our 3 week trip to Italy and Greece. It definitely beat out the 5 star Bernini-Bristol in Rome. The location is close to everything worth seeing in Florence. The only caution is if you're driving and need to leave your car at the hotel. The directions provided on the hotel site are not good enough, in fact may be misleading. The issue has to do with the one-way streets and pedestrian only streets. If you Googlemap or Mapquest their written directions are inaccurate. Looking at the Google map, cross the Arno, south to north, on the first bridge west of the Ponte Vecchio. Immediately at the end of the bridge turn right, east, it's one-way only, and go about 75 - 100 meters to a left turn into a "pedestrian only" alley way and the hotel entrance is immediately on your left. They will arrange for parking.

Hotel was well located. Room was clean, spacious and modern. We had a suite. Front desk staff was rude. They were curt with us the entire stay. Refused to call call us back to confirm that dinner reservations were made for example. Bell staff was pleasant.

We thought the Hotel was fabulous. We had a small apartment and it was wonderful. The breakfast room and buffet was excellent and the staff very attentive and helpful. The front desk was quite busy but efficient. They recommended excellent restaurants and it was a highlight. Being so close to the Uffizi we thought the location was excellent. This was the first time we had stayed here and I would definitely recommend this hotel and if I came back I would most definitely stay here again.

I stayed at the Degli Orafi in July when the crowds were at their peak and found the hotel to be an oasis of peace. Both the dining room for breakfast and the room at the top with views of the Duomo and the river were spectacular. Service was top notch. It isn't easy to please 3 professional women and the Orafi did.

We had a great stay at this hotel. We had a double superior room which was lovely. Although, we could not see the river as the Vassari corridor blocked our view. If you want a river view, go higher than the 3rd floor. We went on the reviews written by others and it was everything they said, except for the hotel staff. While the hotel staff was definitely competent, and even helpful, I didn't see the 'warmth' and 'going out of their way' that some other guests mentioned, except for Giulio at the reception, who was great. And it was my 40th birthday, so there was opportunity for them to please us. Having said that, they were great on email, answering all my questions and even booking my Ufizzi tickets before I got there. They also had good restaurant recommendations.
