“A Very Good Hotel For Families”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

This is a very good hotel if you want to be away from the crowds. It is about 15 minutes walking distance to the musems and other tourist attractions in Florence. Very close to amenities such as a launderette, grocery store, and not too far from the main train station. We stayed in their quad-room and it was comfortable, but the air conditioning was not the best. They serve a simple breakfast in their dining room next to an open courtyard in the back.. What made the difference for me was the desk clerk - extremely helpful and made us feel very welcomed. She pointed out the main attractions and events and provided us with a discount at a local restaurant. WiFi is available.

“Not the best”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and did not enjoy our stay. Our room was large but uncomfortable and when the air con was on, the lights would flick off occasionally. In the end we stopped using the air con. The hotel has an arrangement with a local garage re parking. The night before we left we asked that our car be brought round at 8:30am the next morning. It was not and we had to wait nearly an hour for it. The hotel was not very helpful in this regard and we had to ask them to call the garage multiple times. The breakfast however was good. The hotel was situated about 10-15mins walk from the duomo area. We felt safe walking home together at night but as it is not the best neighborhood I would not have walked home by myself at night. Overall I think there are better hotels in Florence for the price.

“If you want to be mugged....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

We came to Florence from Rapallo. The moment we entered the city, we did not like it at all. Sea and sun, was the thing that we were missing. But since it was late and we already checked in at the hotel, we decided to stay.

The hotel is not located in the heart of Florence, although it is in a walking distance from the train station and 10-15 min walk from Duomo.

We parked our car right next to the hotel and got a very nice suprise the next morning when our car radio got stolen. We did want to stay in Florence one more night as we were missing the Riviera.

The hotel in its self seemed to be dead, and nothing in comparison to Hotel Gulio Cesar in Rapallo. It had airconditionning, which started working after a night, the bathroom was miserably small, there was no view from the room what so ever and the reception was not really helpful. We asked for internet connection, but apparantly it only worked in the reception.

In overall, a miserable stay. The service staff in the breakfast buffet was however nice and welcoming.

If you go there with a car, watch out to not leave anything in there.

“A family run, family friendly hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

The hotel is situated at the end of Via Nationale which is about a 15 minute walk from the main Maria Novella station. We did infact take a taxi costing E8.50 to the hotel on our arrival at the station but we could quite easily have walked. The hotel staff were very friendly and were willing to accomodate us in any way possible. The rooms were clean, tidy, of a good standard, we had a room which accomodated the four of us this included a large double bed, a single bed and a very comfortable camp bed. There was plenty of space for what can only be described as 4 adults. There was a good standrad of ensuite facilities which were very clean with lots of towels which were changed daily. The breakfast was 'typical' continental breakfast and was more than adequate. The hotel itself was quiet and in a 'nice' area, it did however, require us to make a 10/15 minute walk into the central area of Florence (Duomo, restaurants, bars etc) which when the weather was a sweltering 37 degrees was at times a little uncomfortable. Florence itself is worth a visit although we were there on the occasion of a family wedding ( a truley magical experience) and Hotel Bonifacio was recommended to us, it did live up to it's recomendation!

“Charming, if a little out of the way”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2009

My family spent two nights in the quadruple room at the Hotel Bonifacio. For a quadruple room, the room was tight. The Hotel is not particularly centrally located: as noted on their website, the hotel is a fifteen minute walk from the train station. In fact, it's also a fifteen minute walk from most sights, although that wasn't a significant problem. (Florence is fairly easy to navigate.) The staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful, and made museum reservations as needed.
