Top Florence Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Baglioni

Grand Hotel Baglioni

8/10 Good
"Property was excellently located across from the main train station. Property lobby was modern with a twist of old. Plenty of shopping around and very close to the Duomo short walk. Centrally located to everything. The hotel itself is very old when you get off your floor. It's very dark rooms are old with old furniture. We had to move our room because the toilet didn't work at first then the shower wouldn't drain, but we moved to a better room on the second floor with a brighter shower tub. There are no USB outlets you have to bring a converter which most of the time did not steadily stay in the plug. There must've been hundreds of rooms. They definitely need updating staff was great. The rooftop was a big draw, although Monday through Friday, there is construction, so you can't really go on the rooftop unless you wanna hear drilling. My son had his welcoming party there on a Saturday thank God. Also breakfast was great. No Pool, or gym . Which my husband was pretty upset about, but you can get a day pass at a local gym, but honestly with all the walking we did I really didn't think he needed it. Overall, for the money, I would say the best thing about this hotel was the location other than that next time I think I would prefer a more modern hotel."

When is the best time to go to Florence?
The best time to visit Florence for pleasant weather and fewer crowds is during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October).During these shoulder seasons, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, ideal for exploring the city's outdoor attractions and walking between its many sights. The spring brings blooming gardens and longer daylight hours, while autumn offers lovely foliage colours and the start of the olive and grape harvests in the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Both periods avoid the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months.For those prioritising a quieter experience and potentially lower prices, the winter months (November to March, excluding the Christmas and New Year period) can be a good option. While it can be cooler and some days might be rainy, you'll find fewer tourists at popular attractions like the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo, allowing for a more relaxed visit.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Florence?
Florence offers several distinct areas for evening entertainment, suiting different preferences.The Oltrarno district, particularly around Santo Spirito Square, is a popular spot for locals and visitors. You'll find numerous traditional Florentine bars and trattorias that spill onto the pavements, creating a lively option. Many of these venues specialise in aperitivo, where you can enjoy a drink with complimentary snacks before dinner. There are also several jazz clubs and live music venues here.The area around Santa Croce, especially along Via de' Neri and Borgo Santa Croce, is another good choice. This part of the city has a mix of wine bars, pubs, and casual eateries that stay open late. It's a busy spot, particularly with students and younger crowds, and you'll often find people socialising outdoors.For a more sophisticated evening, head towards the Duomo and Piazza della Repubblica. This central area has several elegant cocktail bars and rooftop lounges, many offering views of the city's landmarks. These places tend to be more upscale and are suited for a relaxed drink in a refined setting.San Niccolò, located on the south bank of the Arno River, offers a quieter yet still engaging evening experience. It's known for its artisan workshops, which often host evening events, and you'll find some smaller, more intimate bars and restaurants here.
