Beautiful hotel that felt really upscale. The location is very central and perfect for finding your way around. The rooftop area where breakfast was held was amazing, and i thought breakfast was really good. Scrambled eggs are basically what i look for in hotel breakfast, and they had that, but they also had little croissant sandwiches, bacon, fruits, all kinds of things. Room was extremely large and comfortable, with a cool view to some of the architecture outside. The hallway to my room had a little alcove, with an old Italian black and white movie being projected onto the wall (no sound, just subtitles) and i thought that was super cool. Staff were super helpful when i asked questions, and also helped me get a 4am cab to the airport no problem, which i was very grateful for.

Internet was not working for a lot of my stay, which was a huge problem for me, but also a big problem for the staff. There are some really good coffee shops not far away to walk to for wifi though. Keep in mind this hotel is right in tourist central, so there is noise, and a bajillion people outside. I live in a city so i am very comfortable with noise at night, but if you aren't used to that it could be a problem.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center, making it very convenient to explore everything on foot. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and kind throughout my visit. Special thanks to Angelo P, Stefano, Angelo D, and Davide for their exceptional service. They made me feel very welcome and taken care of. A special mention goes to Davide, who went above and beyond by giving me a detailed itinerary and excellent tips for visiting Genoa. His guidance truly enhanced my trip. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!

The stuff was great, nice place to stay on and great location

Everything was exceptional, making our stay a really wonderful experience. The staff were extremely nice with us throughout our stay, and they were like that with everyone. The reception was impeccable, valet as well. The parking was a bit on the expensive side, but it's right in the center of Florence. The room was perfect, cleaning of the rooms was perfect as well. Would definitely recommend and come back here. The location of the hotel is 5-10min walk to the most important places in Florence as well!!

Small to big group size people were really loud on the corridor, but it's not something that they can really control(I would suggest here some signs in the corridor with "Please be quiet" or something). The breakfast could have been more diverse.

Fantastic location, very modern and trendy with great furnishings. Room was very clean and was exceptionally quiet, despite being in the centre of a very noisy city.

Very disappointing breakfast, poor selection, cold eggs, congealed bacon, no toast. Very limited selection of fruit and pastries some of which were stale. I mentioned this upon leaving and was told that the proper breakfast was served over the road at the Angel. It would have been nice to have been told this at some point in our stay. When we checked in we were not told about this. We look forward to a good hotel breakfast so this was particularly disappointing and did somewhat ruin our stay.

- Location, location, location! This hotel makes almost all of center Florence walkable, it is an ideal location to walk anywhere you’d like and that is above all else the best thing about the hotel. - All of the staff was very helpful and friendly, from check in all the way to check out, to include the front desk and waitresses that served breakfast. - It has free WiFi which was very reliable. - Strong air conditioning for the summer heat - Beautiful, eclectic rooms with exposed brick and the ability to completely close the windows to incoming light, which helped me sleep immensely. Huge shower as well! - This hotel actually has two locations right around the corner from each other, and each location has a restaurant. This comes in handy during long days of touring, and there is a discount for guests who are staying at the hotel. The dinner at Angel Rooftop was just okay, but the view and atmosphere were amazing. On the reverse, the food at Meze was A+, though expensive tapas, but not a rooftop so no views. - The breakfast at Angel Rooftop was amazing! Highly recommend. - Would definitely stay here again.

This isn’t a negative, more of a PSA. The Angel Rooftop bar is open to the public, so sometimes there is a long wait for the elevators once the restaurant opens at 5 PM. Be careful with that!

My husband and I were traveling with our 27 year old daughter. Our room was not ready before noon so we were told to return at 2 pm. When we returned, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a junior suite! That was so nice to have a larger room for 3 adults. Thank you! The breakfast was delicious and quick. The location is very close to the leather market where we found some bargains. The staff helped us make dinner reservations, showed us to our room and explained the lighting system in room. We were treated very well and would come again!

The modern bathroom lighting was not adequate for applying makeup. The light was behind the fancy mirror and it was very dark to do anything in front of sink. An overhead light may be helpful.

Hotel Calimala is a true gem in the heart of Florence. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the impeccable service, stylish design, and attention to every detail. The rooms are spacious, cozy, and full of character, with breathtaking views of the city from the windows. The location is absolutely perfect – just steps away from Florence’s most iconic landmarks, shops, and restaurants. The rooftop restaurant and terrace offer a magical setting to enjoy dinner while overlooking the beautifully lit cityscape. Staying here wasn’t just accommodation – it was an unforgettable experience that we can’t wait to relive.

Location, quiet room, helpful staff…

I left a do not disturb light on and the maid didn’t honor it. The helpful front desk man said I needed to hang DND notice on my doorknob, too. Also, I had specifically asked if room service was available, then found the restaurant in the building was closed on the two nights of my visit.

Wonderful Stay with Exceptional Service I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel. The interior design is absolutely stunning, and every staff member was incredibly warm and helpful. The central location couldn't be more convenient for exploring the city - I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit. While there was a minor issue with hot water during my first two nights, the hotel manager handled the situation professionally and made sure I was well taken care of. The rooftop terrace was definitely a highlight - having breakfast there with panoramic city views was truly special. Despite the small hiccup, my overall experience was excellent thanks to the team's attentive service. This hotel clearly prioritizes guest comfort and satisfaction.
