YOUR BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN THE CENTRE OF FLORENCE

Having stayed here before on a business trip, I decided to come back for a holiday. This is a lovely, small hotel. It is very friendly and superbly located, close to the Accademia museum (statue of David), the Duomo and all of the central attractions. The rooms are all unique and well maintained. The air conditioning was vital! Lovely buffet breakfast and very friendly, helpful staff. Pre-arrival emails was a lovely touch. The hotel also arranged timed admission to the Uffizi and Accademia. Within walking distance of the railway station.

In researching our trip to Italy, I found the Il Guelfo Hotel. I read a few reviews and decided to try it. It is a smaller hotel but the rooms (at least the one we had) was quite large. Actually, sometimes you see pictures of hotel rooms on line that are taken with a wide angle so they look bigger. That was not the case here at all. We had a king size bed, two sofas, night stands, a table a huge wardrobe and still plenty of room to move around. All members of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Even before We left home I had emailed some questions. The replies were always prompt and answered my questions.the breakfast was fresh fruits, breads and yummy pastries. In addition to coffee fresh juices. It was very centrally located to most major sights - some five minutes or less. If you are visiting Florence you can't go wrong by staying at the Il Guelfo.

We stayed at this hotel a number of times; the first time in the early nineties! Over the years the quality and service, combined with great friendliness, have constantly improved. Our recent stay was the best ever and the room was superb!
