Have just returned from staying 4 nights. Although the hotel was clean and comfortable I would not rate this as a 4 star hotel. I had booked a twin bedded room and on arriving was given a double. When I questioned this I was told that they would pull apart the beds tomorrow thus giving us an extra inch and... more

Please, beware of this hotel. My husband and I booked this hotel for July 2009 because we thought it was a good deal for 4 star hotel. After telling our friends and family that have lived in or spent a lot of time in Florence, they warned us of how dangerous this area is. We quickly called our booking agent... more

To anyone visiting Italy for the first time please remeber it's NOT the United States. What you get for 4 star there is not the same standard your going to get in Europe. This hotel was very clean.

My partner and I visited Florence between 23rd to the 29th of August 2008 and was booked into the Diplomat Hotel.

I regretted not reading through the reviews of this hotel... more

I thought the food was poor more

We asked to be moved and were dismayed at the treatment we received by the reception staff. We were eventually moved to a twin room in the other part of the hotel. Although Florence is beautiful... more

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights last week. The hotel was absolutely lovely, wonderful location for exploring the city, the room was spotlessly clean and beautiful. The staff could not have been more helpful - I hurt my ankle and they were so, so helpful and very concerned. The breakfast was a great buffet selection - kept us... more

Man came up and said to move to new room but offered no assistance in helping to move, which we had to do in the dark. Third room had no shower door and we got bed bugs the last night of our... more
