What an absolutely beautiful hotel , from the wonderful and comfortable room to the superb breakfasts with so much choice all perfectly presented. But I must also mention the excellent calibre of staff who were not just engaging but eager to help. We had a truly lovely stay.
Everything was perfect, cleanliness is top notch, staff is super helpful and friendly, Yehia is such a professional and nice guy. The hotel is super cozy and very central location!
We had an amazing stay at this hotel in Florence, right in the city center. The entire place is fully renovated, super clean, and everything feels brand new. The SMEG coffee and tea maker in the room was a great touch, making our mornings even better. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. For the price, this is honestly one of the best hotels in Florence. Highly recommended.

Amazing amazing amazing! The agent at the register was very attentive and professional. Room was spotless and very well designed. The breakfast was magnificent with the food options and service area, I loved everything about my stay and have nothing bad to add
Amazing lodging for an American newbie tourist in Florence. Newly renovated, beautifully decorated and tastefully appointed, the room, the staff, and the hotel exceeded our expectations.
Delightfully located in historical Florence just minutes walking distance from the key attractions- Uffizi, Duomo, Pitti Palace/Boboli Gardens are about a safe 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is close enough to return for a nap then head back out in the evening.
Shout out to Sarah, the manager. She joyfully assists and is a true professional.
The breakfast buffet is a must- excellent variety of hot and cold foods, cheeses, pastriesfresh fruit, and more - all perfectly prepared.
Will def seek to stay here again on our next trip to Florence.
Il Malaspina was a very pleasant surprise. Nice and central, breakfast included, very comfy room. Generally very pleased. The staff were all lovely. The chap who checked us in was extremely helpful, and each day the team were chatty and helpful.
L'hôtel est très bien situé. Le personnel est disponible à tout moment. Les chambres sont propres. Le petit-déjeuner est varié. Je le recommande vivement
Had a great couple nights stay here. It is in a perfect location easily walkable to all the sights in the city. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful! The room was perfect, with amazing soap/shampoo and the included breakfast was an AMAZING treat, so many options and saved on not having to worry about breakfast. Will definitely recommend and stay again when back in Florence!
Top Hotel. Frisch renoviert in einer top Lage und zu Fuß alles leichter erreichbar.
Das Personal war immer hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer war immer sauber und schön ausgestattet. Bei der nächsten Reise wird das Hotel wieder gebucht.
Ein kleiner Tip bezüglich dem Parkplatz gerne die Garage für 10€ am Tag nutzen Viale Belfiore, 55, 50144 Firenze FI, Italien bei den umliegenden wollen die 30€ am Tag.
Hotel molto bello, in centro Firenze, in una zona strategica X visitare e cenare in queste meravigliose trattorie Fiorentine.
Personale molto cordiale e competente, camere belle e pulite, colazione molto bene, ci tornerò sicuramente
Instalaciones impecables, recien reformado, con detalles de lujo. Habitación espectacular, cama muy comoda. Personal de 10 y el desayuno excelente. Estancia encantadora y que nadie dude entre otras opciones
