Caldine Hotels

"Great new hotel in a quiet area and about 10-15 min walk to center but further from other areas "

"Great “new modern” hotel type where the main focus is not on the rooms but on the amenities around the hotel. Multiple dining/bar spaces; fantastic roof top pool and great social spaces in the lobby. Conveniently located near the train station as well as a quick walk to the touristy areas yet far enough away that it’s quiet and away from crowds. Only two downsides: we were awoken by the fire alarm in the middle of the night. Nothing the hotel can do about that, however it was chaotically disorganized outside so perhaps a fire drill with the staff might be in order; and we felt like we were going through high-level security every time we came back to the hotel in the evening.. The same gentleman asked us for our keycards multiple times each evening when entering a different space and/or directed us to confirm we were guests with the front desk - this was obnoxious and off putting. At one point we told him he saw us less than an hour ago and again the evening before.. perhaps they have issues with folks walking in off the street, however our private country club back home doesn’t take it to this level.. it’s a social club, not the UN Headquarters. All said, we would stay again when in Florence when not in a villa, and will try out their other locations during our next travels."

"Old hotel so had to go up a couple flights of stairs with no elevator but a porter met us at the elevator unexpectedly to carry them up. Good location close to the train station and easy walking to all of the high activity areas but not on a busy street itself, so that was nice. Front desk gentleman ran the show and was great! "

"Very convenient to out of Florence day trips "

"Clean room and great staff"

"Outstanding location for seeing all the amazing things that Florence offers. "

"Quiet elegance, beautiful roof top views, 2 minute walk to food, shopping, and historic sites. Great stay."

"The property was elegant, convenient, and an oasis amidst the crowds in Florence. The service was impeccable and the rooms were very comfortable. An outstanding hotel in Florence! Wouldn't stay anywhere else!"

"Great hotel, good for the end of our stay when we were tired and a bit over the tourism. It’s around a 25 minute uber from the city center and 35 minute bus ride. Thought it was nice, the most comfortable bed out of all of our hotels and had a decent gym. Only odd thing is we had a weird pump noise in room 114 that would wake us up often though and the toilet would smell poorly of sewage at times. "
