This hotel is awesome. The staff is amazing and provided great service. The rooms were HUGE by european standards. Everything in the rooms were practical and high quality. The free breakfast was first class, with excellent cappuccino. They also had a happy hour with free Hors d'œuvre and wine. They also provide us with free internet. The staff also set us up with a tour of tuscany. Absolutely great experience!!

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 daughter and I felt very at home at Hotel David, like we were staying with family. The hotel is immaculate and the breakfast is delicious!

“Best Place I have EVER stayed in!”

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 the free mini bar, free calls to home, free afternoon happy hour, and amazing service this place is a true gem. And while you are there please go cross the way to J Joyce, an Irish pub with free tasty appetizers and cold beer.

My husband is a homebody and even he did not want to leave hotel David. Do not be put off by the fact that it is not in the center of Florence, that is a good thing. The views of Florence walking form Hotel David to Ponte Vecchio are incredible. this is a leisurely walk that we looked forward to taking every day we were there.

Hotel David has something to look at in every corner, attentive staff, and warm atmosphere, and it is those details that make it fabulous. I couldnt imagine staying anywhere else in Florence.

Dear Guest,

Good to know you had good time and your husband too. It's a very important feedback from a homebody like your husband to be sad to leave and we really appreciated!!
See you back at your second home!

My best,

“Small place, great location, many perks, awesome staff.”

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. It's not right in the center, but in a nice quiet area. However, the center of town is only about a 5-10 minute walk, so it's not too far out of the way.

Cannot say enough great things about the place. We would definitely return.

“Excellent Hotel, lived up to all the reviews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Hotel David last week with a large family group of all ages and everyone loved the hotel. The staff were welcoming, the rooms large and clean, free mini-bars (kids loved this), Happy Hour (adults loved this), great breakfast (we all loved this). Free car parking. The kids loved the chess table setup and the free internet access. When we arrived around 2 pm with our group of nine, we were invited to go to a Take Away Cafe around the corner and bring back to their outdoor patio to eat. Food was great from the cafe.

Location was fine for us, a good 15 min walk to the Ponte Vecchio. About a 10 Euro cab ride for the people in our group who weren't up for walking in the evening. This hotel exceeded my expectations even after all the great reviews I had read on TripAdvisor. Loved it!
