Very friendly and generally civilised small independent hotel. Room decor (especially the bathroom) a little eighties kitsch but the building itself and the communal sitting areas and terrace are lovely with elegant antique furniture . The staff were super helpful, the breakfast fresh and varied (although the tiny plates meant a few return trips to the buffet). And of course... more

We just returned from our trip to Italy to drop our daughter off for a year of study in Bologna. We were in Florence for 5 wonderful days. The Hotel David more than lives up to the hype you read in these reviews. Nothing can prepare you for the level of sincere service and remarkable comfort extended by Gabriele and... more

Just back from a wonderful few days in Florence made all the more memorable by the fantastic staff at the Hotel David. The hotel itself is a charming old building which has been tastefully restored. The rooms are very quaint and spotlessly clean and the location outside of the city centre makes for a very peaceful night's sleep! The real... more

We "dropped into" this hotel the day before we were booked to check in for two nights....we had a change of travel plans. The very helpful man at the desk said "no problem...your room is ready and at the same rate". He called the hotel in Verona that we were suppose to be at (which had a no cancellation policy)... more

Though it's about a 15 minute walk to Ponte Veccio (which leads you to all the main attractions in Florence), Hotel David is not to be beat. The staff here was amazing. They greeted us in perfect English and explained everything from how to take the bus to Ponte Veccio to what sites to see. They also explained the "happy... more

I recently traveled to London, Rome, Florence, and Venice with my daughter. The trip was to celebrate her MBA. All of our hotels were great but Hotel David was wonderful. The hotel is lovely and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. They have a cocktail and appetizer gathering each evening and also invite you to call home for free. My... more

There is not enough wonderful things I can say about Hotel David. From the minute you get there you feel at home. The location is fabulous, lots of great spots near by away from the main tourist areas and yet close enough to walk everywhere. The rooms are huge (and not just for Italy standards). From the delicious breakfast to... more

The wife and I just loved it here. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We got a couple bottles of wine on the house, as well as a ride in their Ape Colessimo(3 wheeled vehicle) on our last night. The room was spacious and comfy, as well as the shower being a nice size. The location is also great.... more
