Guest Reviews

• sheridan (10/5): - Room was nice, bathroom shower could have been slightly cleaner (you can tell it’s older). But as it’s affiliated with the hotel scaletta across the street you have the option to access the breakfast buffet, and the “skybar”. We loved having our breakfast up on the top most balcony, very serene.
• Mark (10/5): - Great location and very helpful staff.
• Colton (8/5): - Front desk staff was friendly. Gave us dining options and recommendations for activities
• Chucri (10/5): - All good. Breakfast at the terrace was great.
• Jeff (10/5): - Loved our stay.. wonderful location
• Jeffrey (4/5): Terrible. Stay away - Dont stay at this place. While the room itself wasn't that bad, the entry door is a barred prison style door. The entry to the building is dark, dirty and downright scary; particularly at night. Hotels.com should be ashamed to be affiliated with this place
• Anthony (10/5): - Clean. Friendly staff. Very nice location and close to a lot of places to visit.
• John (10/5): - Location is ideal. I walked over 15 miles a day. I recommend you just wander around and get lost. Then you turn a corner and find yourself in front of a major monument or some hidden spot that connects you to your heritage.
• Rebecca (2/5): - I did not receive the VIP experience as a platinum member.
• Danny (10/5): - great spot
• 30paml (8/5): Nice room with great location. - This was a lovely room across the street from the Hotel Scarletti. We were able to leave our bags before we checked in. The location was within walking distance to the tours we took. It was a last minute find that didn’t disappoint. The room was quiet with great air conditioning
• Hing Gwan (8/5): - …
• Thomas (10/5): - This is a great bargain in Florence, terrific location. Part of the Hotel La Scaletta, a 4 star hotel, across the street. Not 4 star itself, but very comfortable and well maintained, with great service. Would recommend it to anyone spending time in Florence. That side of the Arno, the Oltrano, is a welcome break from the craziness across the river!
• Candida (10/5): - This is a fantastic place to stay in the heart of Florence. The room was great, service was top notch, and the access to the city was spectacular. The view from the rooftop was amazing.
• Glen (10/5): - Great accomodation
• Kulbir (2/5): - A
• Joseph (10/5): - Great stay in a good location
• Jennifer (10/5): - The location is perfect, right across the bridge from all the main tourist spots. It is more similar to a BNB. It’s across from the main hotel and the rooms are all on a locked floor and the building is locked. It felt pretty safe and seemed like it used to be an apartment. They do daily house keeping and the main hotel across the way is very helpful. There are no phones in the room which was no problem for us but just an FYI. The room was very spacious and bed comfy. It’s a good spot if you don’t plan to spend much time in the room and is affordable. The only con was the WiFi barely worked. We would stay here again for a quick trip.
• Mark V (4/5): - Small and crowded. Difficult to access room.
• traveller154910 (10/5): Comfortable Room & Excellent Location - Clean, big room, well airconditioned - check in was easy and the location is prime. We enjoyed being close to the Ponte Vecchio - it was an easy walk to the downtown core. The staff were pleasant and helped with our inquiries when we had them. Very comfortable!
• SHAFAT (4/5): - Location is good. Everything else is ok
• Laureeann (2/5): - I had to leave the Tuscany area a day early. I gave this htel 3 weeks early so they could re-rent the room. They told me it wouldn'tbe possible because I ordered through a website that didn't offer refunds. They told me my only option would be to get a medical excuse but they would evaluate if it was legitimate.I guess they are medical people too. Ridiculous! If you are smart find a different place to stay. There are many lovely places.
• Jaime (6/5): - It is close Ponte Vecchio and other attractions. The bathroom deserved 5 stars. The bedroom deserved 3 stars because the window looks to people’s balconies yet we had to open it for cool air (AC restrictions). This means crappy view, less privacy and more mosquitoes! The worst part was that there’s no phone in the room, the WiFi sucks and you have to cross the street to get services. Yes! I had to cross the street full of people in my pajamas to get a router to boost my WiFi. ALL the amenities are at a partner hotel across the street.
• James (10/5): - Although we were at the Florence Old Bridge we had full access to the Hotel SCALETTA Ponte Vecchio which included breakfast and access to the rooftop area. Parking was not the easiest but the hotel was very helpful with arrangements at a local garage which picked up the car at the hotel and then dropped it at a nearby plaza when we departed.
• rodrigotononcarlin (10/5): Excellent - The hotel is excelente and very confortable, the employees are very polite and carefull with me and my friends and family.
• Ashley (8/5): - Nice spot, steps from Ponte Vecchio & Boboli Gardens. Bathroom and shower very modern, lots of shower space! Room was ok, across the street from main part of hotel.
• LauraS8935 (10/5): Fabulous hotel in a great location! - This hotel is such a great base for exploring Florence. Great room in a great spot & v reasonably priced.
• Laura (10/5): Great hotel in a great location! - Really great value hotel in a great location. So convenient for the city & just near the Ponte Vecchio bridge. Great patisseries / restaurants nearby. Staff extremely helpful, especially Emanuele.
• Ryan (10/5): - Florence Old Bridge was an easy check in procedure. You had to check in at Hotel La Scaletta. They were very good with communication and accommodating our early arrival. They recommended a parking garage nearby in which you can make reservations ahead of time. It was not a far walk from the historical center. Overall, good experience.
• Michael (8/5): - I read the room description before I booked but seeing in person left me a bit disappointed. Room was smaller than I had pictured. Luckily the ceiling was higher so not as claustrophobic as it could've been. Lack of natural night was noticeable. There is a small window opening into a "courtyard" but not enough for my liking. Had trouble using key card to unlock doors even though I heard the buzzer. Lack of coffee maker in room was not good. Room had small fridge which was helpful. Receptionist was very nice upon arrival and the bellboy who showed me to the room was also nice. Just FYI, you do need to check in at hotel across the street. This property is not bad by any means but I personally would choose something else next time
• Emma (10/5): - Pros- lovely sister hotel across the road where you have breakfast and a nice rooftop bar with stunning views. Staff were great. Cons - main shower head wasn't working and walls are super thin
• gracedue (10/5): Perfect Hotel for our Bridal Party - What a great hotel experience! We got married last year in June and stayed at Florence Old Bridge with the entire bridal party. After having some terrible flight issues, the welcoming and helpful staff were so appreciated, and as many of the people in our group were less traveled, the staff all speaking English was a huge perk for guests who didn't speak Italian. The rooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were wonderfully updated with great showers. I highly recommend this location if you're traveling with a large party it was PERFECT for our wedding and we would happily stay there again.
• JaznJo (10/5): - This was a beautiful hotel and the staff go above and beyond. We had an absolutely incredible time at this hotel and would stay here again.
• Miguel (4/5): - Staff was kind of rude. Also not great that there isn’t a phone to contact staff if you have issues. You have to leave your room go down stairs and cross the street to the main hotel. They key card isn’t all the functional too. You really have to push it into the scanner. Worst of all the bed was super uncomfortable. I’ve slept more comfortably on a plane. That bed was a brick. Oh and no welcome wine like how Expedia mentioned.
• khumbl846333 (10/5): Brilliant stay. We will return. - The location is outstanding. A real gem. Rooftop terrace was a favourite for an evening drink. Breakfast and coffees delicious. Room was kept spotless. Bed comfortable and great shower. We will return!
• JImi (8/5): - This property was overall pretty good, the room was large the bed was massive but there were a few minor details that let it down. The toilet flush wasn't the best, the windows in the bathroom and bedroom were hard to open/close. and the bathroom door was hard to close. I feel like if theses small issues were resolved and there was a smart tv they could probably charge another 30-50 on top of what i paid. And I would have been happy to pay that.
• tim (8/5): - Great place to stay close to everything in Florence and clean with easy access. Only negative was a sliding bathroom door with no roller that was extremely loud when opening or closing in the middle of the night. We would stay there again.
• Veronica (10/5): - Only issue was that the reception was across the street. No phone on the room ti call reception.
• Anita (10/5): - Loved that it was close to the city. Very walkable and easy check in with staff. Rooms were cleaned very well. Would come back to stay here in Florence
• Danielle (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Florence Old Bridge. It was a wonderful experience and we would stay there again!
• Katherine (6/5): - Affordable and good location. You don’t get luxury for this price.
• Daiane (10/5): - Very close to ponte vecchio and all other central parts of Florence. The checkin is at the la escalera hotel, so it can be confusing but it was very easy actually.
• Lori (10/5): - Loved it was right downtown & very clean & safe. Checkin was easy & staff at the check-in hotel La Scaletta for Florence Old Bridge was great.
• David (8/5): - I did not realize when I booked this hotel that Old Bridge (Ponte Vecchio) is one of the most touristy areas in Florence. Therefore the price for the hotel was higher than it might have been for the same quality elsewhere. The hotel was clean, the staff was nice, and breakfast was good. We were not able to enjoy eating on the terrace because of the weather but the view of the Pitti Palace and surrounding area was spectacular. Main problem was furnishings. There was a closet for hanging clothes, but no dresser. I asked at the desk for a dresser but she seemed puzzled, like that was an unusual request. She asked if there was not room for our clothes, and I said yes, on a narrow counter that ran along one wall, but that seems odd to stack your clothes on a ledge. She said there was no room for a dresser (which there was, an alcove that had nothing in it) but she could send up a table, which I declined (no difference between that and the ledge). Otherwise the staff was helpful and friendly, called us a taxi (which did not show up, so they called another, which did right away). The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom well-outiftted. In the future, I would stay at a hotel off the beaten path both to get a better value room and to get away from the crowds, but that's just me.
• maria (8/5): - I like the fact that it is situated near everything I wanted to do
• Lisa (10/5): Great location, quiet sleep! - The location was wonderfully convenient to walk the city and a very quiet sleep! Tiny room but bed was big and comfortable. Bath & shower just big enough. Ac worked very well. The reception staff at Hotel La Scaletta was very welcoming.
• Ivan (10/5): - Excellent location, Rooftop terrace was great , food was great , location was perfecto
• Natalie (10/5): - Very nice property within walking distance of Florence's main attractions. Would definitely stay here again. Excellent breakfast buffet.
• Maria (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful hotel We LOVED the location being a 3 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio bridge and Around the corner from so many wonderful landmarks The location could not have been more perfect Staff were very friendly and always helpful Breakfast was amazing with so many choices Will definitely stay here again and again
• lauratH9687GH (10/5): Lovely hotel in a fab location - This hotel is very conveniently located within easy walking distance of all the sights. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly especially Manuelo who went out of his way to help us. He helped us to park our motorbike and then carried the bags to our room. A visit to the sky bar is worth it and the breakfast was great
• Julia (10/5): - It was a little confusing because the front desk and breakfast are at a hotel across the street. Staff was very nice and helpful.
• Jason (8/5): - Easy access to historic florence city centre
• Jack (8/5): - We stayed in the Florence old bridge hotel, which is separate to the main hotel. It was more like a guest house. The rooms were very nice and clean. Staff were friendly and supported us through check in and check out. Definitely recommend for a clean hotel which is in a very convenient location!
• Susanna (10/5): - Excellent location and staff, cleanliness and air conditioning was also excellent!
• Joanna (8/5): - Great customer service and instructions upon our check in. Very secure building, felt safe. Large room with spa bath in bathroom. Shower/bath leaked unfortunately. Great location, on less busy side of Florence bridges. Only suggestions would be access to English channels on tv and iron with ironing board.
• Eric (10/5): - Nice location, good pricing, easy to get everywhere
• Simon (8/5): Overnight stay in Florence with a car - The hotel itself was quite good. The Old bridge accommodation is across the road from la scaletta hotel which is where you check in. You get a room with a double bed television and a functional but quite small bathroom. There is a small bar fridge in the room and also a safe. The air conditioning is quite effective but can be a little bit noisy. The biggest issue we found was on arrival there is no where to stop the car if you have one to go and check in. We parked around the corner and were then informed that the best option for parking is to use the valet car parking. The reception staff told us that this is usually best organised before arrival as what will happen in that case is the valet will meet you about 50 m from the hotel in one of the answers and take your car. As we had not organised this reception staff were very kind and rang the ballet service who then met us where we had park the car. The other issue to be aware of is to actually get to the hotel you need to pass through a couple of pedestrian zones. If you pass through these zones and you are parking at the hotel they will contact the parking authorities and have any fines waived. If you do not park and get this information passed on you will be fined. In the area there are numerous restaurants souvenir shops and plenty of gelati cafes. It is an easy walk to the old bridge and also approximately a 1 km walk to the Duomo and other significant features.
• Kelly (10/5): - Huge, clean room. Had balcony. Big bed. Nice staff! Good location. Everything was perfect!
• Lisa (10/5): - Great room, air conditioning worked well. Highly recommend. Breakfast was worth it.
• Viviane (6/5): - Amazing staff. Small Rooms and tiny bathroom.
• Connie (8/5): - Great breakfast - enjoyed our stay
• Marianela Bruno (8/5): - It s very well located - the door and the window of my room were no so safe locking - - the tv didnt work but you dont watch tv in Florence
• Dorothy (10/5): Great Oltrarno Hotel - Great location to explore the Oltrarno neighborhood of Florence. They had great service and a great room for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!
• Ihor (10/5): - We would like to stop by next time. Thank you very much for your service!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This hotel was nice. The only issue we had was that the upper showerhead did not work so we had to use the small wand which was inconvenient. Also the water for the tub didn’t seem to get very hot. Other than that it was very nice. The restaurant had great food and the service was fantastic.
• Karen (10/5): Perfect location in the heart of Florence - The hotel is in a perfect location. 10 min walk into the square and Cathedral. Breakfast is served in the hotel across the road. There is a lovely rooftop bar here also. We book a room with a jacuzzi which was very relaxing after climbing so many stairs up the Bell Tower 🔔 😀 Staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there are no tea or coffee facilities in the room but the little fridge in the room did help. The room was immaculately clean. I would totally recommend this accommodation 😊
• Lynda M (10/5): - Prime location. The only drawback is that the front staff doesn’t recognize you because you aren’t entering and exiting with them.
• Lisa (10/5): - Old Bridge was the perfect location for exploring Florence. We would like to thank the fabulous front desk staff at the Hotel La Scaletta across the street. They were really helpful with reserving a taxi and providing us with a lot of information about the City. Their English was great! We will be back to Florence Old Bridge.
• Linda (10/5): - This hotel was the perfect location for walking in Florence near the River. The breakfast was delicious & the staff was very kind & helpful during our 3 day stay.
• PMDS0607 (8/5): Great stay - We recently spent 3 nights at the Old Bridge. Our rooms were across the road from the main building. The room was spacious although the bathroom was on the small side. The hotel position was amazing and within walking distance to the main sights of Florence. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels provided. There were only 2 things that would have this a 5 star review. One is to provide tea & coffee making facilities and second would be less of o hike up so many flights of stairs to breakfast. There was a lift but it only carried 2 people and was always busy. Definitely a great location & good value for money.
• Robin (10/5): - The location of this property is great for walking. If you have to use a taxi, be aware that the ride will be a bit longer due to being on the other side of the river and the numerous one-way streets. Plan accordingly and it isn't a problem. The hotel was great at calling the taxi. Staff was friendly and helpful. The small down side was that we had requested twin bed set up and the hotel had confirmed this yet, when we checked in, the beds were set up as one. The hotel sent someone over to re-do them but it would have been nice to have it the way we requested upon our arrival.
• David M (8/5): - Great hotel for an affordable price, amazing central location to all the museums, the Duomo, plenty of restaurants and shops. (12-18 min walk) Hotel is right on the old bridge Street. Only complaint, i wish the beds and pillows in Europe would be more comfortable. Very firm mattress. 4/5
• Shahak (4/5): - While it is in a great location, the room we got was very small. But that's the price you need to pay for a central accommodation at an average price. However, staff were very great and easy to talk to!
• Jose (10/5): - The hotel is located in a very good area, if you like enjoying music at night, and walk around, this place is an amazing match for you. It was suuuuper clean, and the staff was amazing, they even helped us book some tours and gave us best practices to do around the hotel. The restaurant in front is in a rooftop, so it have an incredible view from the city!
• charlottebY3991LH (6/5): Good location, basic amenities - Hotel was in a great location, easy to reach all the sites by foot. As many reviewers have stated previously it’s part of another hotel and you have to check in across the road… this is ok.. but you have no phone within the room to access amenities within the main hotel - such as an iron. Additionally, the room (superior with hydro bath) was basic with no tea / coffee or even water and not even a proper glass which I’d expect in any hotel. The bathroom was small, and a little worn in places. If you stay here - after paying for the most expensive room I’d recommend booking the hotel for the location but not for any frills. We had a balcony which overlooked the rest of the block so not worth the money. Overall 3 stars is representative of the hotel.
• curtisinmiami (10/5): What a great place to stay in Florence! - Great hotel and excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff and the view from the patio restaurant was amazing, unfortunately they were booked when we were there but we saw the chef making handmade tortellini and I’m still thinking about them. We’ll definitely go back!
• giannosi52 (2/5): The worse hotel that we stay ever - We pay for other rooms and they give us other rooms. We are very angry about that. We talk with manager and they loud us and nothing do about that. We never stay again in this hotel and we don't recommend to anyone. We lose our money to this hotel...
• Jensi (6/5): Average - Our stay at this place was average. We loved the fact that it was walking distance to many attractions and downtown. Otherwise, everything else about the hotel is pretty average. There was no water left in the mini fridge. The cups that were left were dirty. And the room was very stuffy and too small.
• Graham (2/5): - Bad property owners
• Wiguel (10/5): - This is one of the best experience that I had and the rooftop and the view and the cooking from the breakfast and dinner is just amazing. I strongly recommend
• Franco (10/5): Bell Ponte - Old Bridge with good old fashioned tip top cleanliness and service
• Jean (10/5): - Very happy over-all with the hotel. Location is perfect! Close to everything. Would stay here again.
• Efrain (10/5): Wonderful stay at Old Bridge hotel - We loved the stay. Everything was perfect.
• Kimball (2/5): - We booked this property well in advance and needed to add a third person to the room. They were not able to accommodate us. We asked for a refund so we could go somewhere else and they refused. They said it was pre-paid and non-refundable. We were not happy but accepted that we made a mistake so we booked another hotel that would accommodate three people. After the visit ended, this property sent us a hateful note stating that we were considered no-shows and we would not get a refund. Why add insult to injury? They already refused to give us a refund and then send us more messages saying that they won’t give us a refund. Honestly, they should have given us a partial refund and then rented the room out to someone else. They would have made money and we would have felt happy about not losing $400. A little flexibility would have gone a long way. I would not recommend booking here due to their lack of flexibility and continued hateful emails. You got our money and ruined our time in Florence. Isn’t that enough?
• Daniele (8/5): - Worth renting just for the view!! Rooms are fairly small
• Samet (10/5): - Hotel staff was nice. They have 2 separate buildings but 1 checkin desk at Hotel La Scaleta. Make sure you go there for checkin. Breakfast was nice and the terrace view amazing.
• Quin (8/5): Nice cozy stay - It was a nice cozy stay. I enjoyed my visit To the city. This place was amazing and nice. They offered a valet service which was helpful
• Winston (10/5): It was okay - The location of the hotel was a little difficult to arrive if your driving! Also if with a lot of luggage it can be a headache trying to fit in one small elevator. Although the room itself was clean and location of property was okay for sightseeing. Has a nice terrace that would be great for the summer.
• N (6/5): - good location, problems with communication, key, wi-fi, etc.
• jonathanhN1166KF (4/5): Light sleepers: avoid this place - The good: Its location is really good, right between Palazzo Pitti and the Vecchio bridge, so basically within a 20 minute walking distance of most sights in the city. The staff is also very nice here. The bad: First, the hotel is split between two buildings on opposite sides of the street. One building has the reception (on the top floor, tiny elevator), the other building is filled with apartments and a few floors and hallways for hotel guests (also tiny elevator). Even though the rooms have undergone some sort of basic renovation, many things have not been fixed. The doors are very bad sealed, so you can hear the sound of people going up and down the stairs, the constant noise of the elevator moving and even the regular conversations of the neighbours next door. The windows are equally bad sealed, not only making temperature regulation part of your trouble, but also letting in a foul sewage stench from the courtyard. Also the lighting is pretty dim, making it hard to see the inside of the closet when you get dressed. Also the closet door is very difficult to slide. The phone to the reception is located outside of the room in the hallway, and it will ring occasionally (we heard it at least twice a day). Last but not least, there was renovations being made in the building, which was incredibly loud and very disturbing when travelling with small children. We would kindly implore the hotel to ALWAYS warn their guest of any irregularities like this, that might affect the stay at the hotel. Then we could have chosen another hotel to begin with. A last thought, we could not find a smoke detector in our room or in the hallway nor a fire escape plan in our room. Only a fire extinguisher in the hallway. This is very unsettling and should be fixed by the hotel immediately.
• MacDaddy1978 (8/5): Short stay in Florence - Pre-Xmas tour of Italy and we stayed at 4* accommodation across the board. The Old Bridge was by far the cheapest (no doubt due to its B&B status) and yet far the best, the location is perfect for the Ponte Vecchio unsurprisingly and the rooms were new and fresh. The rooms are detached from the reception, restaurant and roof terrace as they’re just over the road, just a couple of meters away. Great value for money, enjoy!
• Nicholas (8/5): Great base from which to see Florence - Great place to stay in the centre of Florence. Less than a minute's walk from both the Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved this place. A bit difficult to find but once we found it we didn’t want to leave
• giokerq (6/5): Unfortunately it is true, it’s noisy! - The room was lovely, new, clean, and spacious enough. You have to check-in in a nearby hotel, but that’s convenient because you also got 24h desk service. They also serve breakfast in the hotel nearby, at the 3rd floor, so I would not recommend it, unless you really don’t like the usual sweet breakfast served at the many Italian cafes nearby. The biggest problem is actually the building itself. It is old, and apparently very badly constructed. I wouldn’t say the neighbors were noisy, but I would wake up every time they slid a chair on the floor or flush the toilet. You can’t really complain with them about that. I’m sorry to say this, because everything else was nice, but I didn’t get a single good night of sleep on my time there. So minus one start for this. The price was also high considering the type of accommodation. Minus one star.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Fantastic location within walking distance of pretty much everything. The bed and pillows though were pretty rough
• Verified traveler (2/5): - It’s from the Middle Ages.,I would never recommend anyone to stay here. It robs of the fun one can have in Florence. Terrible!
• MJTW2014 (4/5): Not as expected - We booked the deluxe spa room but when we arrived there had been a mix up with the booking and we were stuck with a standard room. To get to reception you have to go up 3 floors in a tiny lift and your luggage can't fit in the lift. Then our room was across the road in another building. The building foyer smelt like beer and something stale. The room was dingy and not very pleasant. The only phone is in the foyer instead of in the room. The bathroom is way too small, could hardly fit in the shower and could hardly stand to dry yourself. We were booked for two nights but checked out after the first night and stayed somewhere else the second night. Only good things was there was an outdoor terrace option at breakfast and the location is good. Other than that - not great.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location but pretty dark accommodations. Also, lighting in entryway and steps did not always come on. Had to climb 2 flights of steps using only our phone flashlight.
• 962bernadetten (4/5): Noisy!!!!!!!! - Our stay was marred by noisy neighbors. The apartment below and the one above were very loud. Our room faced the back alley and the apartments behind were very noisy. Alley sounds reverberated late into the night. Also advertised as a B& B but breakfast was not included.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice Hotel, looks quite modern compared to other hotels in Italy.
