Lovely Hotel, very clean and comfortable and good value for money. Tasty breakfast and lovely restuarant. However a large percentage of people in the hotel went down with a horrible stomach bug. It ruined our holiday I would not recommend this hotel until the stomach bug has been sorted out. more

We stayed for five nights in the Athenaeum Hotel, Via Cavour, Florence. We booked using Lastminute.com who could only book a standard room. Through various emails with the hotel, I requested an upgrade since we wanted a balcony and bathub. We also needed a cot for our 18 month old daughter. The hotel itself is very modern, clean and spacious... more

Pros - Helpful reception staff, free internet, close walking distance to main attractions, outdoor lounge area is relaxing, rooms are fairly clean Cons - small-ish room, not really any views from the rooms more

Decor was aesthetically pleasing, the size of the room was good, had a firm mattress, adjustable air con, mini bar, room safe, trouser press, and we had a balcony too.

We ate in the Riflessi Restaurant three times during the week and the food was absolutely... more

Hotel way exceeded my expectations. I travel quite a bit for work and am comparing this to a Hilton or Marriott in the US. The hotel was wayyy more charming and very clean. Its a 15 min walk from the Doumo on a quiet street--a very good location. Wireless Internet is included! I did not pay for the hotel (used... more

Nice and very helpful staff, good food, good distance from the centre (just walk down the road to the Duomo), quiet and well serviced.
