It’s a very well located, extremely clean, elegant but simple facility. Great value for your money, breakfast included. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. We came back again after staying here last year and they remembered us! Large selection for the complimentary breakfast. We’ll be here againMore

I, my husband and two friends stayed here for a 60th birthday trip in October 2019.
The hotel staff were SO kind and helpful and ensured we were able to make the most of our visit to the area. The hotel itself was clean and well equipped, and supplied an excellent and varied breakfast. The drinks prices in the small bar were very reasonable. There were multiple small seating areas both indoors and in small sheltered outdoor courts. We didn’t use the spa but it looked welcoming and pleasant. The hotel seems to have a good environmental and ecological ethos.
We only ate one evening meal at the hotel - their weekly meal of Tuscan specialities - it was good but we chose to eat elsewhere the rest of the time as there are SO many other restaurants and hotels in the town (we particularly enjoyed the cheap and cheerful Bar Gori Cibus, whereas our friends preferred the Trattoria Come Una Volta, which is practically next door to the Hotel Arnolfo) - and eating out for two meals a day really gets expensive!
Hotel Arnolfo is within very easy walking distance of the main railway line, if you want to visit Florence.
- There is a delightful funicular railway in town (only slightly further away) which leads to a stunning hilltop area well worth visiting.
- A weekly opera evening (The Best of Opera) is held each Wednesday in season, in the Hotel Settentrionale. Walk up to this via what we called the marble road (actually the road is a normal surface but both pavements are marble for the full length of the street) - Via Felice Cavalotti.
- If arriving a little early, do ensure you don’t miss the best Gelateria ever which is just round the corner (I think from looking at the map it’s called Gelateria Desìderi, but to be honest I was so bowled over by the ice creams I didn’t pay too much attention to the name!).
Slightly further afield the astonishingly gorgeous views and sights are endless:
- Pisa is its nearest airport, and the leaning tower is of course spectacular.
Other priority places to visit nearby include
- San Gimignano (wow!!!)
- Montecarlo (not that one!)
- Lucca (look for the tea shop Caffe Santa Zita - never had such fantastic free nibbles with a beer)
The sea isn’t far either if you’re a sandy beach person.
Highly recommended for its friendliness and the care taken of all its guests.

Montecatini is a small Italien town There are maybe 350 hotels but a fine place to stay if you want to go to Toscany. The old town of Montecatini is placed on top of the cliff and you might go with the cable train. If you want you may walk. fine restaurants there

They are really friendly, when we come there it feels like coming home. Also the dinner is very good and we always have choice between 3 things, so it is good when somebody does not like one thing, he can take something else.
Dear Mrs Stephanie,
thanking you for your kind words we are very happy to read that you have appreciated our hospitality
and dinner at our restaurant .
Hoping to welcome you again in Montecatini Terme, we forward our best regards

I had the single room adjoining the family room. The room was clean and well appointed. Space limited but not a problem as single traveller. Noise through the connecting door was very loud. The hotel staff were wonderful, always polite and helpful. The hotel caters for several large groups, and breakfast results in a scramble for food. The breakfast rooms are large enough for the visitors, but the buffet area cannot cope with the large numbers staying there. Food quality was good, but rapidly disappeared, but was slowly replaced. Time your breakfast visit to avoid the groups who usually have gone by 8.00. Overall, the hotel was an excellent value for money, and I would stay there again but not in the single room I had.
Dear Mr John,
thanking you for your kind review we are sorry to read that during your long stay you never mentioned about the noise coming from the next room, we would have gladly changed it.
Hoping to welcome you again and this time into a double for single use, we send our very best regards
Riccardo
