Our room was great here, it was large (as was the bathroom) had cable, free internet & computer downstairs as well as breakfast! Couldntt ask for more...

Hotel was in a great location, near train station and within walking distance to all historical sites in Florence. There are plenty of good inexpensive restaurants near hotel, as well as a laundry mat across the street. The staff was helpful, the hotel had great internet service, and the breakfast was very good. If you like the nightlife, this might not be the hotel for you, as some could think the street a little seedy. Since I was traveling with my daughter, we were out of the hotel during the day, and usually had a late dinner near the hotel, and were back in our room by 10 or so. The hotel was run down in areas, but the rooms were adequate, the air conditioning worked, and it was perfect for us. I would recommend this hotel to friends for the price, location, and amenities. If you want to see David, a skip the line ticket in advance is the only way to go. The Uffizi Gallery is worth going to see, as well as the Duomo. We also did a vespa tour of the tuscan countryside through viator that was fantastic. The trains are very easy to use, but go to a ticket machine vs. the ticket counter. We went to Verona, Pisa, and Siena on our own, with no problems.

This hotel was easy to find when we got out of the station (direct train from Pisa Airport), the staff made us feel welcome and were very efficient in checking-in and out as well as the staff at breakfast who were superb and incredibly hard working.

The rooms and decor of the hotel was looking a bit dated, but I suppose in some way added to the charm. I think also the Jacuzzi was probably also in need of a service as the water jets didn't seem as vigorous as the photo's on the website!

However, the place was very clean and there was always someone doing more cleaning which was nice.

Once you got your bearings around Florence it was quite a good location to be in. We unfortunately went at a time when the weather was scortching - 40degrees and humid.

I'd certainly stay here again and reccomend it to friends and family. My only fault other than the decor is the walls were a bit too thin and there was a fair amount of noise.

Just got home today. We spent the night at this hotel before returning home. The location is great - especially if you are going to take the train. Super clean rooms, big bathroom, air conditioning works and we had a large sitting room. Breakfast is good and staff is excellent. We stayed in an apartment for first part of our trip in Italy and I would for sure stay at the Rivoli instead again any day.
