“Wonderful Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

person found this review helpful

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 stars of the show however are the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they really go the extra mile to make sure each one of their guests has the best possible stay.
I can't recommend this hotel highly enough and will not stay anywhere else during future visits to Florence.

“A True Gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

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) and explained our situation...they said they would not charge us for the night. He went on to advise us of all the amenities...free wireless internet, business center if we didn't have a computer, 10 minute phone call each day, breakfast included, complimentary drinks & hors d"oeuvres each night from 6:30-8pm in the beautiful little garden! And the staff were all incredible!! The rooms are a touch dated but this little Boutique Hotel was so welcoming. We were a beautiful 15 minute walk to the Pont Vecchio. We are use to staying at Westin's but we wanted to try something different and were pleasantly surprised!

“Wonderful hotel with superb staff for a great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010

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 hour" offered everyday (wine, juice, and appetizers), the mini-bar policy (everything in it is free the first time!), and breakfast times (which included eggs, cereal, danish and more). The room was very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Some rooms have balconies, but even without (as was ours) the room was a good size and more than comfortable). The amenities were fabulous as explained above, plus there is free wi-fi (and a shared computer if you need) and you get one free international call a day per room. Honestly, when we return to Florence, this will be the first place we would look to book!

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!
