• Serdan (10/5): The Artists' Palace.. made sure we never wanted to leave - One of the best hotel experiences we've had. The location puts you right in the heart of Florence, within walking distance of everything that matters. The rooms are beautifully done — comfortable, well-appointed, and with real character. The staff were genuinely lovely and made us feel looked after from the moment we arrived. But the real highlight was breakfast: a spread of local, organic Florentine produce that felt nothing like a standard hotel buffet. You could taste the quality in everything. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Florence who wants the full experience, not just a place to sleep. Florence already has a way of staying with you — The Artists' Palace made sure we never wanted to leave.
• Konkolewska (10/5): - Położenie
• Louis (9/5): Overall good experience - The location is perfect and the staff are friendly and helpful. The mattress is a little overused and not firm enough to support a proper sleep.
• Frank (8/5): -
• Ceren Ezgi (8/5): -
• Saturnina (10/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): Fantastic stay, highly recommend - The location and amenities were excellent, so quaint and interesting and the bar on the first floor, very cool! Nothing, was a great place, would stay again and recommend!
• Sara (9/5): Warm and helpful staff in a beautiful historic building in an ideal location make this a great place to stay. - Beautiful and spacious room - loved the 3rd floor balcony - excellent location close to everything, especially the Duomo. Elevator was too small and claustrophobic. Our air conditioner stopped working, but staff were able to fix it.
• Krista (10/5): We loved it and would highly recommend it! - Loved the Location, Room, Shower, Free Drinks, Staff (super friendly and helpful)! Throw in some free breakfast since the price was expensive per night. A better (bigger, more obvious) sign to identify/locate the hotel, as we walked past it every time. In the rain, it was frustrating walking past the hotel by accident.
• tawishi (9/5): -
• Donald (9/5): -
• Svetlana (8/5): Overall we had a very good stay at this hotel - Location is exceptional. Room was specious and clean but furniture is outdated. Included breakfast was served in the nearby restaurant and was excellent. Staff was very friendly. Outdated furniture in the room.
• Hannah (10/5): -
• Marianna (9/5): - We had a room facing the piazza San Lorenzo but still the room was very quiet, beds were comfortable, room was clean and spacious, complimentary drinks. Great breakfast (thou in another building). Helpful and friendly staff.
• Marie (8/5): Idéal pour tout faire à pied rapidement - Emplacement idéal , bâtiment chargé d’histoire . Très bon accueil et propre Décoration un peu varié
• Frawl (10/5): - Our view was magnificent! Staff so helpful! Very very clean. Not a thing!!!!

• Shull (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Florence! - Everything was perfect! The property checked on us after we landed in Rome and made sure we knew where to go. They answered every question with so much kindness! The location was PERFECT! You are right by all of the main sign seeing places and amazing food. I am 100% going to stay here again next time I am in Florence. Plus the beds were so comfortable and there are so many little gems throughout the building, like a balcony, library and amazing views!
• Misericordia (8/5): - La ubicació perfecta i el tamany de les habitacions Molt senzilles les instal·lacions tenint en compte el preu
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Barbara (9/5): - La posizione sicuramente Le Dimensioni della camera
• Breda (9/5): Our stay was very relaxing and rooms were very comfortable and clean . Definitely a lovely stay to visit Florence. - Our stay in the artists palace Florence was lovely the building was so beautiful and the rooms were big and spacious looking out over the square. The staff was so friendly and very helpful I would definitely recommend staying at this property. Nothing really
• Przemyslaw (10/5): - Fantastyczna lokalizacja, zabytkowy pałac ale nie czuć w nim było charakterystycznego dla tego typu budynków zapachu. Budynek, w którym jak się dowiedziałem na recepcji przez 9 miesięcy mieszkał sam Leonadro da Vinci to zdecydowanie dodatkowy smaczek. Właściwie wszystko było tak jak powinno. Jedyny minus jaki jestem w stanie wymyślić to śniadania, kóre nie znajdują się w budynku tylko w restauracji oddalonej o jakieś 100 metrów. W związku z tym, że są to (jak się dowiedziałem) wymogi UNESCO trudno winić o to hotel także nie zaliczyłbym tego do minusów jeśli ktoś decyduje się na lokalizację w ścisłym centrum.
• Guest (7/5): -
• Ronan (10/5): -
• Nelson (10/5): Stay Here - We would rate this hotel an 11 if we could! We brought a group on a tour of Italy and everyone felt it was the best hotel by far. Stellar location right next to the Medici Palace, very near the Mercato Centrale, steps from the Baptistry and Duomo, and with views overlooking the Piazza San Lorenzo. The building has so much character; tastefully adapted from a renaissance monastery. The large library they've adapted into an interesting lounge area is so cool, historic and fun. They gave us each a complimentary drink to enjoy there when we arrived. Leonardo da Vinci lived in the building! Every one of the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful e.g. they cheerfully called a taxi for us which arrived right out front within seconds. The breakfast, half a block away at La Menagère, was mind blowingly good. The windows are very well sound-proofed. To top it all off, the beds were divine; best rest of the trip! Some might consider the elevator a little small, but it's quite standard for Florence (and many hotels don't even have one!). The front desk isn't staffed between 8 pm and 9 am (at least when we stayed in March), but the room card works reliably to open the main door after hours and they give you a number to call in case of emergency.
• tal (8/5): -
• steven (9/5): Very central location close to all the main attractions - The location here is superb, if youre coming by train its around a 10 minute walk and right in the centre, you are less than 10 minutes from all main attractions, right next door the medici palace and theres a restaurant that makes its own pasta just round the corner, a cornershop is literally outside your door. the room was reaaonably large, clean and had air conditioning, the view is stunning and the bathroom looks brand new, i would stay again in a heart beat, staff left instructions on how to sign in as i arrived around 11pm and friendly each time I walked in or out, all in all a great experience to keep the review honest, the lift takes a while but this is a very old building and i didnt mind taking the stairs
• Debertolis (9/5): -
• Rachel (10/5): Perfect location - Central Clean Beautiful bar and rooms
• Laura (10/5): Gorgeous comfortable hotel with a fabulous view, wonderful staff and location! - I loved my stay at The Artists Palace! Even though it was on the lively piazza, my room was very quiet and soundproof with a gorgeous view of the cathedral! The beds were very comfortable! Fantastic, central location! I would highly recommend staying here! Nothing!
• cathleen (9/5): -
• Catherine (10/5): Enjoy your stay in this historic hotel conveniently located close to all the historic sites. - This historic hotel location is exceptional. Easy walking to all things Florence has to offer. Front office staff were most welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Would highly recommend this charming gem of a hotel. The jets in the tub were not working
• Gianni (10/5): Centralissimo. Sembra di abitare nella storia - Centrale. Davanti a San Lorenzo e attaccata a Palazzo Medici Riccardi. Vicina al Duomo. E in un palazzo dove ha vissuto Leonardo. Dalla camera si vede anche il tramonto
• Esther (10/5): Wonderful stay in a beautiful, historic building with amazing views! - Greatl location, about ten minutes walk from SMN train station. The view from my room of the piazza was beautiful! The room was large and clean and had all the amenities I needed. I would absolutely stay here again!

• Gökberk (10/5): - Tesisin konumu mükemmel. Çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve çok ilgili. Otelin kubbe manzaralı balkonu birşeyler içmek için harika. Odamız konusunda istediğimiz yerine getirildi ve muhteşem bir ferahlık ve manzarası vardı. Otelin temizliği, rahatlığı çok iyiydi. Beğenmediğim herhangi bir husus yok. Sadece artists lab salonundan bir gece önce haberdar olmak isterdim. Çok iyi bir canlı müzikti.

Ich lobe besonders das Personal, insbesondere Silvana, die uns unfassbar unterstützt hat und mit Ihrer Kompetenz und Weitsicht, Herzlichkeit und Wärme durch unseren Aufenthalt begleitet hat. Danke dafür!!
• jinying (4/5): - The hotel has a good location I live on the second floor，There is extremely loud noise outside from morning till evening:Even with both windows closed, the noise is still extremely loud， the sound of passing cars, people talking, and also people shouting loudly in the middle of the night.I stayed for two nights. After the first night, they only straightened the bed but didn’t clean the clutter on the floor.On the first morning I arrived, the heating was cold.It’s February now, and it’s a bit cold and damp. The room feels chilly。
• ORIOL (9/5): -

• Miriam (10/5): -
• M. Chiara (8/5): Posizione molto comoda per visitare Firenze - Ottima anche se fuori della strutturs L’odore dell’atrio
• Bhanu (10/5): - Excellent location. Busy area but quiet rooms. Spacious rooms with lot of character.
• Alison (9/5): Fantastic place for a family of 4 right in the heart of Florence! - The heart of Florence! This was a fantastic place for our family. One giant room where the four of us slept comfortably. The heat of Florence really took a toll on us and the room A/C units had a hard time keeping up. It was record high temps so maybe unusual.
• Christopher (9/5): -
• Mary Jo (9/5): - The room size, shower, location. No water in fridge except first day, bathroom a little small with the door where it was.
• Curtis (10/5): Love the location, staff and history of the hotel! Highly recommend. - Love the location, staff and history of the hotel. Elevator is small so expect to use stairs a lot. Not a problem for my wife and I as we actually prefer stairs.
• Joy (10/5): - We loved everything about this hotel! The building is beautiful, the staff very friendly/helpful and our room was amazing. Would definitely stay here again. No complaints at all.
• Richard (10/5): Overall excellence. Would recommend this to anyone. - The location was great, the actual rooms were great. Nothing was wrong.
• Zoe (10/5): -
• Yves (8/5): - Tolles Frühstück (extern) Tolle Lage & Aussicht Zimmergrösse etwas klein
• javier (8/5): excelente lugar en Florencia para alojarse con familia - excelente ubicación en el centro de Florencia; buen lugar para familias porque la habitación era bien espaciosa y con un muy gran cuarto de baño el ascensor es muy chico y lento, solíamos subir y bajar por las escaleras porque no podíamos ir todos juntos en un mismo viaje. Se nota que es un edificio viejo que ha sido refaccionado
• Mark (9/5): - Fabulous location.
• Mark (10/5): - Good location with a view overlooking the plaza. You could hear the bustle of the people below by day with the sound of a violin echoing in the background. At night things calmed down, we really enjoyed our stay.
• María Amelia (7/5): An OK stay for a couple of nights - This room had maybe an above average size comparing to the other places we stayed in Italy. The location itself is pretty comfortable for first timers in Florence. You're really close by to the interesting places and is easy to come and go around the city. The hotel has a library with a small bar where you can have a complimentary drink. While it looked really beautiful and impressive, it smelled very musty and our drinks weren't very good. We just stayed a few minutes. Staff was ok, nothing extraordinary. We didn't enjoy at all the downside of this location: the Plaza is completely full of informal vendors - even the small streets from the station to the hotel - so it's not a good ambience. It feels cheap, crowded and unclean. The room felt a little run down, honestly. Such as: the doors needing paint and looking better overall, the open sink base in the bathroom was lose, you almost felt it could fall down or something, the bathroom door couldn't be locked from the inside... It's a very old hotel and it really feels like it.
• Russell (8/5): Great location, staff, and breakfast - hard mattress and building needs some renovation. - The location was excellent, 5 mins from the Duomo, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast (located down the street about 2 mins away) was excellent. The mattress was so hard that I experienced pain all 3 nights we spent there. My wife found the mattress hard, but it was not a problem for her. The room was freezing cold when we arrived. We visited Florence in January. We were told that the radiators come on in the morning and evening. One can heat additionally with an ac/heating unit in the room, but it took several hours to get our room to a comfortable temperature. The building really needs some renovation, but I realize this is very expensive when dealing with such an old building. The building certainly has character. The polished website does not correspond to the hotel. (See my photo below of the entrance to the hotel.)
• Krista (10/5): Amazing staff! - The ladies that worked there were amazing! Not as warm as we would have liked.
• Federica (10/5): VOGLIO TORNARE!!!! - Posizione Ottima, Personale molto cordiale da farti sentire a casa. La struttura è un EX convento, meraviglioso. Al primo piano trovare una biblioteca bellissima. Per la colazione ci si sposta al Menagère....a pochissimi passi, colazione TOP!
• Liz (9/5): Exceptional, central stay with modern, comfortable rooms and a great breakfast. - Loved the location and proximity to all of the places I wanted to visit. You literally step outside and you're already where you want to be. I was just there for one day/night so had a lot to pack in!! The breakfast at La Menagerie was outstanding! I would go back to Florence just for their avocado toast-lol. The room was modern, very comfortable and had everything I needed for my first night in Italy. Enjoy!
• Heinz (10/5): -
• Tonette (7/5): -
• pascal (10/5): Très belle endroit au coeur de Florence - L’emplacement de l’hôtel avec sa vue sur San Lorenzo . L’accueil et gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel de l’hôtel. La deco et le bâtiment. La propreté de l’établissement le confort de la chambre Rien
• Shelby (9/5): Beautiful hotel in a very central location. - The location is so central - and the view from the window is incredible. The staff are very friendly and helpful with questions / recommendations; they even left a little note for my dad's birthday. No complaints, Hair Conditioner in the bathroom would be a plus!
• Marc (7/5): Top Lage, tolles Personal, sehr überschaubare Ausstattung und schlechtes Frühstück. - Top-Lage und sehr nettes Personal. Das Hotel ist niemals ein 4-Sterne Haus. Es ist rudimentär ausgestattet und hat keinerlei Einrichtung im Haus, ausser die Zimmer selbst: Keine Bar, keine Extra-Toilette, keine Rezeption zwischen 19 und 8 Uhr. Die mit Abstand größte Schwäche: Das Frühstück ist 100m (!) entfernt bei einem externen Café. Das alleine ist schon schlecht, aber man wird dort unfreundlich behandelt und die Auswahl ist mickrig.
• Dalla Gassa (10/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): - Nothing to not like here. Location, staff, price, comfort- we will absolutely return in the future. It could be a little cold at the top but nothing that couldn't be addressed.
• Seetha (10/5): Beautiful place in the center of Florence - The location was super convenient. The rooms are clean and the beds are really good. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
• Patti (9/5): USA in Florence - Family suite was large with 2 bathrooms and a door separated 2 bedrooms. Having 4 adults it was perfect. It was very clean, beds were very comfortable and the history of the building was interesting. Great location and very nice staff Our room had a jacuzzi tub. After filling it with water we found that the jets didn't work. This was disappointing after a long day of walking. But everything else was great so this was just a very small hiccup.
• Elmi Bepary (10/5): -
• Raymond (10/5): Fantastic property in a fantastic city. - Exactly as described. Staff extremely friendly and helpful 24/7.
• Rachanee (10/5): -
• Maro (10/5): - It was very close to all the interesting places in Florence.
