I don't think there is a better hotel at a better location in Florence. Hotel California is a small family hotel recently renovated with old charm. Rooms are clean with original frescos and exceptional moldings. There is a rooftop restaurant/bar with an extraordinary view of the city; at night, you can enjoy a drink having in front the Duomo and... More

This hotel’s location cannot be beat – walk out the front door and you can see the Duomo about two blocks down one direction and the Accademia is a few blocks in the other direction. A very reasonable restaurant is just a few blocks down the street. There is a rooftop restaurant that has great Duomo views. We paid about... More

The hotel is really well located. The end of the street stays the Duomo, one of the most important atractions to visit in Florence. You can easily walk to Galleria Uffizi and Ponte Vechia. It's also close to major shopping places. I've stayed with my husband and my two kids this december/2011. The room had a good space with one... More

Central location and within walking distance to pretty much everything in Florence. Lovely rooms with original Fresco paintings on the ceilings. Access to a little rooftop terrace to sit outside and enjoy a drink. Breakfasts were good, rooms were clean. Overall a very good experience. More

Thanks for reading this review. I will pretext this by saying we are 4-star travellers. We look for cleanliness, security, affordability and service (in that order) at the hotels we stay in. We stayed at Hotel California for 4 nights in September and chose this particular hotel due to it's proximity to all the attractions and its central location. We... More

Very nice hotel in a renovated old building. We stayed in a room in the back of the building. The room is spacious and quite. My room has an old fireplace (only decorative) and frescos on the walls and the bathroom is big (seems that not all rooms have a big bathroom). The service was good. It is located walking... More

We were at Hotel California only for one night. We liked the hotel, Lobby was pretty. Well located near churches. Near the art gallery. Breakfast was fine, only you had to pay for eggs. Room was comfortable. Bathroom nice.Really a great hotel. More
