 Overall this hotel was fine. The main things that tainted our experience was breakfast not being included (it cost 15 euro) and the staff did a terrible job handling (still being worked as I type this review) an issue of some vanishing clothing. We had a bag with about $120-150 in clothes in it sitting at the foot of our bed when we left in the morning and when we returned the room was made up and the bag of clothes was gone. They said they asked the housekeeping staff about it and checked the laundry but nothing was found and they didn't offer to do anything about it. They just sent us packing and told us to e-mail their customer service rep. Again, as a hotel, it was more than adequate. As a staff, we were extremely disappointed.

 We went to the hotel thinking that it was a 4 star hotel. It fell far short of our expectation. It was an old hotel in terms of rooms and facilities. Our fridge in the room did not work at all, shower in the bathroom had barely any water pressure and dirty. Our room was tiny and hotel staff was not helpful when we asked questions about neighborhood. This is in comparison to other 4 star hotels we stayed in other parts of Italy.

 Everyone should stay in this hotel when they come to Florence. It is in a great location, just a couple minute walk to the Duomo. The breakfast was wonderful with a good selection and the staff went above and beyond their duty. They were always there to help with whatever we needed. The rooms were spacious and bathrooms very nice.

 An unfortunate experiance, I booked online from reviews and photos shown. The staff are respectfull and profesional with good presintation. But the room we recived was small, old stained walls, squeeky bed, small closet and the furniture is all scratched up. It was depressing to be in the room I had to change hotels. I was booked for 4 nights but did not stay even one. I paid the first night that morning and left to book 4 nights at the Bristol.It was double the money but worth it. The staff were very nice to me but the structure needs renovation.

 The location of the Hotel was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only point I have to complain about are the air conditioners of the rooms. We booked two rooms trough Venere, the two rooms were great with nice views of the city,but, unfortunately the air conditioner of one of the rooms was not working, and with a temperature of 40C, it was impossible to stay in the room. We asked to change and tehe staff were very helpful, but the only other room available with a working air conditioner was a tiny room without windows.The other room we moved to in the next day was just OK, and I have booked two superior room.

 We have stayed in Florence on a number of occasions whilst attending trade shows and generally the rooms and public areas in the hotels are very small, even when they are 4 star. The Boscola Astoria has very spacious public areas, an excellent restaurant and an extremely pleasant roof bar in the evenings. We found the staff to be extremely helpful and any request we made was dealt with efficiently and in a very friendly manner. The only down side was that our room was on the side of the hotel where there was a lot of traffic noise. We would certainly use this Hotel again.
