The hotel is in a fantastic location. You can practically touch the Duomo from the Balcony. Everything within walking distance - very convenient. Has everything you need to self cater if you want. Only downside was that the bathrooms are a bit dated - few loose tiles etc and it can be a bit noisy at night. The children slept through it but the adults needed earplugs! Those Italians love their sirens.....

Being centrally located was nice, but it was so loud at night and that made it difficult to sleep.

One of the best locations, value and spaciousness we've ever stayed in in Venice. I'm amazed they EVER have rooms. The two bedroom unit had balconies on 2 sides..."spitting" distance from the Duomo. We much have had a hundred tourists take our pictures while we sat on the balcony admiring the view (hard to photograph the Dumo from the south without including the balcony!) GREAT deal...GREATER choice!!

We had a very large 2 bedroom apartment. Bathrooms were a little smelly - we sprayed with lots of perfume ! Gentleman at front desk was very helpful. Our GPS could not locate the hotel so it took us a while to find it. Parking was 25 euro in a local garage as expected. We overlooked the Duomo which was amazing - but it was noisy one night. But this was my kids favourite place due to the size of the rooms and the view of the Duomo.

We opened our windows and were looking at the most beautiful view of the Duomo and the Baptistry. The location could not have been better. The room was spacious. It was noisy at night until about 11:00 pm. Overall, amazing value. We would definately stay there again. We had a change of plans as we arrived in Florence which caused us to be late but they were kind enough to arrange to leave our key with someone.

I have been travelling to Italy since I was 2 years old and more specifically, Florence since I was barely older. I have never been as pleased with an accomodation as I was with Palazzo Gamba. The location was UNBEATABLE and the particular room we had was like living in a postcard. We opened our balcony to see the Duomo and Baptistery and the first site of it left me absolutely breathless. All night long young people socialized and sang in the piazza. The view and the bustle were uniquely Florence. I realize that there are those who complain about the noise, I find it to be rather exhilerating. The apartment is within walking distance of the Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, Baptistery, train station and many, many other attractions. The interior of the apartment was amazingly clean with incredibly high ceilings. I would stay here again without a second thought .. as a matter of fact, I don't believe I will ever stay anywhere else.

We were expecting a rather small apartment and were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness. The employees were particularly helpful with local information, how to telephone, parking etc. We were provided with all the necessities (e.g. towels,kitchen utensils) for a pleasant stay.

Palazzo Gamba has excellent apartments right in the middle of the historic centre of Firenze. The view from the Giotto apartment (6th floor) is absolutely amazing, the Duomo and Battistero as neighbours. The Campanello kept some noise with its churchbells, but that didn't bother, actually it was quite charming. The bells could disturb light sleepers, though. It was less than 10 min walk to the Piazza della Signorina, and about 10 min to the Ponte Vecchio. The shopping streets are also nearby. In the first floor of the building is a nice cafe offering lovely variety of coffees and, sandwiches and sweet goodies. We really enjoyed the 4-night-stay in the heart of Firenze.
