Hotel Machiavelli Palace

it was close to the train station and the museams

The hotel is very very lovely and to be recommended. Location is perfect, very close to the center, maybe in around 7-8 minutes (walking) you reach the cathedral. Room is big and clean, we even got a room with a terrace, which was nice surprise. Breakfast not big, but you have everything you need! Wifi on the 3rd floor was with a good signal. Overall a very good hotel with a helpful staff.

Location is excellent for coming in from the transit center at Santa Maria Novella, just a short walk away. Breakfast was all you can eat with many options though it is paid. I wish the room keys were less big and bulky as having to carry around a heavy metal disc all day to get in to your room at night is kind of annoying. We had two different rooms, a single and a double, and the double was much better by far. The single was a very small room, the bathroom door swiped against the edge of the bed when opening. The double was almost twice as big and had a much better bathroom.

The jacuzzi was all heated and ready for us on the terrace with a spectacular view of the Duomo. This is truly an awe inspiring spot, and such a large terrace! Double sink bathroom was also great, and the room was very spacious.

It was 100 degrees when I was there and I was concerned the ac wasn't going to be adequate because of other reviews but it was good. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. Was centrally located and very close to the train station which was nice. The terrace had a wonderful view and was a nice place to have a drink at the end of the day. I would return if I'm in Florence again.
