“Clean, Friendly, and Convenient.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

5 minute walk from the train station, very convenient. Constantine, the owner is a legend. Really friendly, and with some great tips for Dinner, Gelateries etc. He offered to pre-book the Uffizi and Accadamia for us, to avoid the 3 hour queues there (thankfully, our faithful Rick Steves' guide had alerted us to this, and we had already done it, about a month earlier - why would anyone choose to waste up to 6 hours af a 1 or 2 day break in Florence standing in avoidable queues??).
Like 99% of hotels in Florence, this is 3 -star, and sits in the middle floors of a 5 or 6 floor building. You catch a charming old fashioned art -deco style lift up (my wife felt like she was on the Breakfast at Tiffanys film set!).
The rooms are clean and comfortable - don't expect 5 star luxury. The mini-bar is reasonably priced. If, like us, you don't live in a city at home, with open windows you will probably find the noise at night too much.....simple solution...just close the window and turn on the Air Con in the room.
Breakfast was more than adequate continental style ....enough to see us through to dinner at one of Constantine's recommended nearby restaurants...with the help of an ice-cream or 2, and a coffee and cake during our day's sightseeing in Florence.
To sum up, for a short 1 or 2 night stay, the Beatrice (named after Dante's Mistress) offers a friendly, convenient, functional base.

Room Tip: Take Constantine's solid advice.

“Haunted Hotel not quite from hell!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Traveled with a large group of friends for a 40th birthday. On arrival the was greated by a lift resemberling something from a horror film! My friends to their shock (or not so) was stuck for 30 minutes whilst the very helpful owner shouted instructions that where not equally as helpfull! Later, at night, i stayed in room 20 with two other of my friends. The room had a strange feeling about it and it wasnt until night when the strange things started to happen. It didnt help that the decor suited that of the lift but when cupboard doors flung open i slept with one eye open. Despite this cheep and not quite so chirpy (but a real laugh to say the least) location is fantastic and the owners are very helpfull (although not quite so if you get stuck in the old, battered, broken lift!) THIS DID NOT SPOIL A FANTASTIC WEEKEND AND I CAN SPEAK FOR THE 9 OTHER GIRLS I TRAVELED WITH!!!

“Best hotel of our whole trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010

Stayed here at the end of September 2010 during a 5-city trip. This hotel was the best one in Europe. Close to the train station, free wifi, clean, spacious, and most importantly a friendly staff that offered us the names of their favorite restaurants, noted some good sites to see on our map, and reminded us of the breakfast that was included in our stay.

“The wife of Constantino ruined everything.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at Hotel Beatrice from Sept 24-28. It is a family-run hotel and Constantino, the owner, welcomed us warmly. Rooms are ok, bathroom was bigger than I expected, the location was close to excellent. When I checked out, however, I was slapped with a 3% surcharge for using my credit card. I was never informed that there would be such a surcharge. The wife - well, the last thing you can say about her is - charming. I am not staying in this hotel again (and will advise my friends not to), until Constantino divorces his wife.
