佛羅倫薩藝術家宮殿飯店(The Artists' Palace Florence)

I absolutely loved this quirky hotel. So much history and atmosphere. The bed was perhaps the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Location is unbeatable. But if you are looking for a high end hotel experience with a bar/restaurant, gym, spa, room service etc. then the Artist’s Palace is not for you.

This was an incredible way to start our holiday! Right in the middle of everything. Wonderful staff. The history if this hotel was amazing. Our room was cool on a hot hot day. Spacious family suit. Outdoor balcony was a hidden treat. Free breakfast at lovely nearby cafe. Just outstanding!!

To begin our room looked out onto the Duomo. Nothing blocking our view, amazing! The family room is spacious and perfect. The area is pumping at night, so not totally quiet. The staff was nice but removed. The lobby needs flowers and a facelift. Walking in was disappointing. But the room was great for us.

What a great hotel! So interesting and old world charming. Staff is wonderful, location is perfect, our room was furnished with two twin beds and the bathroom was a nice one. Would definitely recommend to those who enjoy historic and nostalgic accommodations.

Very large (including maybe 18-ft high ceiling), clean, updated and chic rooms and hallways. Close to popular attractions. The free breakfast was about 300 ft. away in superbly beautiful La Ménagère restaurant. I highly recommended staying here.

I review every hotel I stay at and this one was maybe the biggest disappointment of all time. Before our arrival in Florence we tried to extend one additional night at this Artists Palace hotel before our arrival. Thank goodness they didn’t have a room available. Apparently this hotel was a Convent at some point in its history and it felt like it hadn’t been updated since that time. I’m pretty sure it was the original flooring in the room and it was dingy and chipped tiles. The place felt like a cheap Hostel that suits those on an ultra-limited budget. The shower in one bathroom wouldn’t drain and I had to stop my shower so the water wouldn’t overflow onto the bathroom floor, wait 5 mins, then restarted my shower for one more minute to get the shampoo out of my hair. The bedside lamps were cheap plastic cones and extension cables that hung from the top of the makeshift headboard. The mattresses were the most uncomfortable ever. There were stack of boxes and chairs in the hallways, and occasional placements of worn out sofas and furniture in the halls. The artwork in the room featured broken sculptures that were the cheapest artwork they could buy at a flea market. Breakfast was at a restaurant 2 min walk down the street and this was actually the only thing we liked about the hotel. We stayed at another hotel in Florence the following night that was a similar cost, but it was so much nicer. The Artists Place Hotel is in dire need of updates.

It was a real treat to stay here. It was so central and yet quiet at night. The Academia is a 3 minute walk, the cathedral the same and the Uffici and Ponte Vecchio less than a 10 minute walk. Bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Very clean, comfortable and staff just lovely. Tram direct from airport is 35 minutes then an 8 minute walk. Just a perfect place to stay really.
