I stayed at Hotel Medici in July when Florence is hot, but my hotel room with large shuttered window was cool in the evening. A stay here is to experience old Florence in the center of the old city. Friendly english speaking staff and comfortable breakfast made me feel quite at home. Convenient to the train station and all the... More

My wife and I honeymooned in Italy and Hotel Medici was our 1st hotel in Italy. The hotel is walking distance from the train station and serves as a great base to visit all corners of Florence. The front desk staff were helpful, friendly and able to speak enough English for us to converse. The hotel has a lift as... More

When we arrived (a 10-15mn walk from the train station), we were told our room was an apartment in a different building a couple of blocks away, when we said we wanted to be in the main building, we were told there was only one room left, BUT on the top floor with a terrace (not private terrace), we said...

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for two nights in July. Location is fantastic. Room was very basic but clean. No tv and no a/c, but the fan and doors to the outdoor balcony - walk around - were sufficient to keep us cool and entertained. Felt very safe and that of course is priceless. Rooftop terrace also nice,... More

Bedroom adequate but bathroom small and pokey. Shower next to useless More

Spent 8 nights, had 3 different rooms, which were all dissappointing to say the least (pictures included). The first night we spent in room 207, which had a totally unacceptible bathroom: toilet very closely opposite shower, no curtain/cubicle; lots of noise overnight from the streets. Nights 2-3-4 we spent in room 306: french balcony doors were bent so wouldn't close... More

As mentioned in many other reviews, the location of the Medici is unbeatable. Our room for 5 of 6 nights was on the 5th floor, with views of the Duomo from the bathroom and the outdoor walkway. The 5th floor room (501) was spacious and clean, with a nice bed and a large bathroom. The shower area, however, didn't have... More

Amazing location for a trip to Florence - in the heart of the city. The view of the Duomo against a night sky is just breath - taking. Rooms were basic but always clean. Breakfast very simple - rolls, butter, jam, hot chocolate, coffee and juice. Was quite noisy outside at night but so tired from all the sightseeing didn't... More

As every review says: the location is excellent. You need only one minute to reach Duomo. The view from the terrace (the 6th floor of the hotel) is also perfect. Rooms are clean, but a little bit tidy. There wasn't TV in my room. There were only bed, cupboard, table, chair and minimum of space. The view from the room... More
