Hotel Ginori Al Duomo

We booked this place because it was close to the Duomo and it was pretty easy to walk to all the main attractions. The rooms were comfortable, they were very helpful in arranging transportation for us when needed. Their breakfast each morning is excellent - the best we had in Italy. Restaurants and gelato were nearby - and we had an American king-sized bed (which you can't always find in Italy).

7 minutes walking distance to the cathedral, 4 person rooms are very clean, toilet and bathroom were newly built. We stayed with breakfast included, breakfast varieties are not very wide but it was enough for us. It is a great advantage to be within walking distance to the center and places to visit. We were satisfied as a family. Full price performance hotel.

I think the room is good, the hot water for the bath can be a little hotter. The service staff is very enthusiastic, and breakfast is in a high-end restaurant next door. There is a girl at the front desk who looks like Sophie Marceau 😍, which shocked me deeply.

I think this is more of a 4.5 Star review. The hotel was great, with friendly staff and easy to find. Valet service was stress free. The hotels location is great, walking distance to most of the local sites of the city. Only downside was that the rooms can be a little noisey, with the ability to hear other rooms through the ventilation in the bathroom. Not a major issue but just made the hotel feel a little less private. The breakfast was fantastic each morning with a good range.

The location is perfect. Walking distance to the Duomo, train station, and a lot of other sights. Breakfast was very good. Staff is extremely friendly, professional and helpful. The hotel was updated. I feel it needs new hallway carpet and some touch ups here and there. This would not keep me from going again. We stayed there two years in a row.

The receptionist who checked us in was very kind and helpful - as it was our first time visiting Florence, he provided us with a map showing all the key attractions, and marked out a route on the map for us to follow to begin exploring the city. He also provided recommendations for food and good scenic viewpoints of the city. So thank you for providing us with the much-needed information/maps for exploring Florence!
Our room was on the top floor so there were quite a few steps to climb (no lift). However the friendly hotel staff helped us with our suitcases when we checked in and checked out. The room itself was very clean and comfortable.
The buffet breakfast was also nice with a variety of options (eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, fruit, pastries, cakes etc.), and a choice of hot drinks (we had lattes and hot chocolate, which were delicious).
Hotel Ginori al Duomo is centrally located within Florence, a ~15 min walk to the station and all the key attractions are also within walking distance. Even after 9pm, the local area was very lively.
Overall we had an excellent stay at Hotel Ginori al Duomo - friendly, helpful staff and a very clean, comfortable room.

Great location.

Great location! Short walk from the train station. Very central to many of Florence's main attractions. Friendly, helpful staff. Room was comfortable....ours was unique, right on the roof! The pool was a saviour in the hot weather after a full day of exploring. Older travellers be wary that there is no lift, depending what level your room is on there are quite steep stairs. However, the staff will happily take your luggage to your room for you. Great breakfast!

Excellent location, excellent treatment and service by all the staff, especially by the receptionist who is there in the mornings and who knows how to speak Spanish. Their kindness and attention: exceptional, the fact that it has a swimming pool, even if it is small, to take a dip especially in summer, with the heat that it is, is an important point to take into account, and although I have read that they do not warn that it does not have an elevator and that in many cases, like us, they send you to the second floor with many steps, it is true, but they also take your suitcases up and down.
Without a doubt, I will stay at this hotel again on my next trip to Florence.
