Wonderful place to stay! The staff is courteous and helpful. Accommodations are spacious and comfortable. Even the shower had a beautiful view of Florence. The balcony gave great views of the city and river. The hotel has an interesting history and we found the staff to be very knowledgable. Breakfast included croissants, jams, cheeses, pastries, eggs, sliced meats, cereals, juices,... More

What a fantastic four days. Hotel Principe is truly wonderful hotel. Clean, bright, old and charming. The staff treated us as though we were a family member, always cheerful, fun, and helpful. Hotel Principe's breakfast never lets you down. The bar was always available. All the best sites are an easy walk. As for good food, it's everywhere.

We picked the Principe for its location and were not disappointed. Our room at the top of the hotel with the terrace overlooking the Arno was perfect for the week that we were there. The bathroom was not quite up to the standard of the spacious marble ones on the lower floors, but the terrace more than compensated. Walking to... More

This hotel offered in a great location is a little tired. It can use a face lift with new paint, wallpaper and new fabrics on the furniture. The bones of the hotel are solid and it could be returned to it's magnificent splender especially considering it's location and generously appointed rooms. It is very near the American Embassy. The breakfasts... More

We had a relaxing stay in this hotel. The room and bathroom were very spacious and everything was clean and in working order. Principe Hotel is 15 minute walk to the Mercato Centrale about 20 minute walk to Galleria Accademia and 15 min stroll to the Ponte Vecchio. It overlooks the Arno river. There is a laundromat around the corner... More

The night-time views, with the lights reflecting off the surface of the water, were especially lovely. The decor was traditional, in keeping with the period of the hotel, the... More

We spent 4 nights in September here and enjoyed our stay immensely - would not hesitate to recommend the Hotel Principe. The rooms are large, have incredibly high ceilings with very nice amentities. Although our room overlooked the lovely garden in the back, the views from the front door when we walked out were amazing, right across the street from... More

We loved our stay in this hotel. Our room was very spacious and decorated in a way that emphasised both the size of the room and the height of the old ceilings. The long windows, with long curtains, looked out onto the garden which was small but elegant. The bathroom was huge with the overwhelming sense of style and marble!... More

Overall I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and appreciated the reception's recommendation of nearby Trattoria Armando for dinner, which was excellent and very welcoming of me as a solo diner. However my stay was marred by a strong smell of cigarette smoke throughout the hotel and in my supposedly non-smoking room. It permeated all my clothes and I could... More
