“De bons conseils...”

Tres Bon hotel assez design, les petit-dejeuners sont de qualite, l hotel est propre. Il y a une salle de sport Et un billard. Nous etions avec un ado de 15 ans cela lui a beaucoup plu!!! Seul hic est le lit supplementaire qui a ete rajoute Et qui n etait pas d une grande qualite. L emplacement etait excellent a 10mn a pied du centre historique. Pour vous rendre a la gare, vous avez un arret de bus devant l hotel (en face) Et vous prenez la ligne 1 (ticket a prendre dans un bureau de tabac 1€20 ou dans le bus 2€). Pour nous deplacer, nous avons pas mal marche, utilise les bus (lignes 12,13 et 23), le car terravision pour aller sur l aeroport de Pise (10€ A/R) a prendre en face de la gare par rapport a l emplacement DES taxis et le train pour aller visiter la tour de Pise (depart toutes Les 20mn et c est le moyen le moins cher pour s y rendre). N hesitez plus, venez a Florence, c est une tres belle ville (meme si Rome est le cran au dessus), la cuisine est excellente Et profitez de la dolce vita italienne (Les cafes, Les bars a vin). Ne courrez pas de musee en musee, faites vous d a bord plaisir! Bon voyage a vous!

“Athenaeum-1”

Everything about this hotel was excellent including the restaurant and atmosphere. The hotel has a parking garage which is a blessing in Florence. It is within walking distance of the Accademia, the Uffizi, Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. It is, however, on the expensive side as is everything in Florence (don't buy anything in the Uffizi cafeteria).

“Perfect City Break Hotel”

On arrival you are greeted by an imaginative, modern decor, and a helpful staff who speak English if you feel less than confident in your own Italian. When you overcome the initial disappointment of slightly smaller than expected bedrooms you appreciate their comfort and the excellent bathrooms... hot water at all times being a major bonus. Breakfasts are full and varied and highly recommended before embarking on a visit to the town. The Duomo is just a 10 minutes stroll away (and I have a walking stick)I wiuld recommend the Hotel Athenaeum unreservedly.

“Loved this hotel”

We spent three nights the first week of April at this hotel. The front desk staff was great and very helpful. They made reservations for us at the Uffizi while we were on a day trip to Pisa. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is huge. The restaurant serves great food and an awesome chocolate souffle. It is walking distance to the Accademia and close to most sights but far enough away that it is quiet. Would definitely stay here again if I return to Florence.

“Florence July 2011 - a good hotel in Flor. finally!!!”

Great Hotel, a little away from my usual stomping ground but in a way an added bonus as it was even more quiet. I'm going back - if the price is right!

“One of Florence's finest”

Hotel extremely comfortable with very helpful staff. Very convenient for seeing all the sights. The resturant served very good food. If I had a criticism (and it would be a very small criticism) it would be that the room we had was at the front of the hotel and looked out over the road which could be noisey at certain times of day. Apart from this we could not fault the hotel.
