My wife, adult daughter and myself arrived in Florence by train from Rome on the second part of our Italian anniversary trip and stayed at this hotel in the middle of May 2013. The hotel is basically round the corner from the train station so we walked which was a nice change. The hotel was situated in a lovely piazza... More

this hotel is very well located, in a magnificent square. The rooms are nicely decorated Provence style and space, the hotel staff very helpful and the breakfast well served. A romantic hotel, well run and well building, builded an excellent choice of accommodation for Florence.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location on the Santa Maria Novella piazza was extremely convenient from the train station, and it was just a couple minutes to walk to the Duomo and other sites in town. Breakfasts daily were wonderful with a good assortment appealing to both Europeans and Americans. And the coffee was the best we had on... More

Location is perfect, so close to the station (for trains, airport coach but also many day tours starting from that spot) and right on the beautiful Piazza Novella. Everything can be reached by foot from the hotel, maps can be deceiving and the Ponté Vecchio and Uffizi for instance are no more than 15 mins walk. Service at reception is... More

Quiet, comfortable and large rooms make this a great place to stay while in Florence. The location is terrific, right on a piazza with plenty of sites nearby including a quick walk to the train station. Food was very good and hotel staff was friendly and attentive. Recommended for a great stay in Florence.

After consulting with management, we booked two rooms to be next to each other because we were traveling with our children. We were guaranteed this arrangement. When we arrived, there were no two rooms next to each other. While our children were on the same floor as my husband and I, we were not comfortable and were told there was... More

Hotel Minerva is the perfect place to stay. its close to train (less than 5 minutes walking) and another 3 minutes past the hotel is the Duomo. The room was magnificent!!! I'm... More
