Machiavelli Palace Hotel Florence Reviews

Location of hotel is great and only a short walk from the central train station and easy walk to sights. Clean and tidy enough. Breakfasts adequate. Would stay again.

Nice and clean hotel which is 5 minutes walking distance to the central train station, and 10 minutes walk to the Domus & Shopping area. Very centralized locatIon. There is a lift; so no need to drag your bags up the stairs to the high floors. Rooms have sufficient amenities like refrigerator & safe. Reception provides good enough service; such as calling a cab that arrives within 5 minutes. However the price is a little on the high side for single bedroom.

Book this hotel for it's excellent location. The train station is just 250m to 300m away. The facilities are adequate and functional, after all you are there just to sleep before moving on to the next day's programme. But the reception staff's attitude is horrendous. When we reached the train station from Pisa, it was pouring. I walked to the hotel to borrow umbrellas so that the others in my party need not walk in the pouring rain with their luggages. Their reply - We don't lend umbrellas to our clients. We are not asking for the sky for crying out loud!

Very pleasant hotel in a fantastic location, just minutes from the train station, San Lorenzo and the other main sights in Florence. Staff very friendly and helpful and buffet breakfast of high quality. Ideal for a short break to this magnificent city.

Buffet breakfast the same all throughout. Wifi available only through costly purchase of card; still it didn't work! Only a few TV channels available and only CNN as the sole English channel. Funny smell in the bathrooms (I requested a bigger room since I was given a small one at the back). Fortunately, the new room had a terrace with a magnificent view of the Duomo and another church, which made up for the rest. On the whole, fantastic location--near the train station, the central market and historical landmarks!

This hotel is close to the main railway station yet within easy walking of the main sights. The single room I had was small, and the showe was clearly intended for someone half my size, but let out onto a rooftop patio at least twice the size of the room with a spectacular view over the Basillica and cathedral. Just the ticket after a hard day sightseeing - and really helped make it a pleasurable experience.

Very good location, super close to train station. Good breakfast, great coffee machine! Only down side was the drain smell in our room!

Excellent hotel and staff, we would definitely stay there again.
