This hotel had lovely accommodations and wonderful and totally helpful staff. The food at the restaurant was wonderful and they had a great cocktail list.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Great location, beautiful room , the staff was great and the breakfast was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Great location and very clean and nice hotel

Great hotel - quality of room, cleanliness, staff were brilliant and so helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay here again - also great location on the river near the Uffizi.

Location, views and balcony were great. Service from staff was great also.

Great location just a few minutes walk from Uffizi Gallery. The balcony room was comfy and had a nice view of the river. Very helpful staff.

Very nice and warm service, breakfast was also great and included. Definitely will stay again if back to Florence.

Excellent location very nice staff We had an issue upon check-in, but they were able to deal with it and accommodate us. Be very, very careful when booking to make sure that you book the hotel and not the separate apartments.

Beautiful and elegant hotel in a perfect location, close to most of the famous sightseeing locations, all within walking distance. A very tasty breakfast included with a huge selection, cereal and fruit, continental or cooked breakfast. Rooms and service were perfect.

Wonderful stay at Hotel Balestri in Florence. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Breakfast was incredible every morning—fresh juices, perfectly scrambled eggs, spectacular bacon, and great yogurts. The bar was fantastic too; the bartender mixed excellent cocktails. Rooms are on the smaller side, which is expected in a building from the 1860s, but that’s a minor note. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of everything. Highly recommended!

Lovely, historic hotel. Quiet and calm amidst the beautiful clamor and turbulence of Florence. Our 10 year-old daughter loved having half the family suite to herself. Only two suggestions: 1) the sight of housekeeping trolleys left in hallways is jarring in a 4-star hotel. Isn’t there a housekeeping closet where they can be stored when not in use? 2) with the exception of the lady who greeted us on arrival, the front desk and bell staff was more functional than warm.

Great location.

Nice location and room

Excellent location, beautiful hotel, highly recommended

Great location. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and very clean. Food was excellent.

Great location and helpful staff. Pleasure to stay there

Great location right on the water. Beautiful property, room was amazing, great views. Staff was super friendly and everything was perfect! Will definitely come back here again!!!

Beautiful hotel in quieter area away from crowds but still just a few blocks from most major attractions. My only disappointment is we booked two identical rooms (Deluxe Double or Twin Room, River View) and one was a big bright corner room on the top floor while the other was small and dark and directly above lobby bar and music was loud. Aside from that everything was wonderful.

The hotel is a hidden gem. My favorite part was the bathroom specifically the shower. The water was hot and the pressure was great. The staff was very helpful especially Vanni! They went over and above to answer our questions and make recommendations.

Everything about Hotel Balestri was fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly and recommended places that we should go. The room and all amenities were extremely clean and the location to everything was extremely convenient! We even left a wallet and some jewelry at the hotel and only realized after flying back to the states. The hotel worked closely with us to recover and ship the items back to us. I can’t recommend this hotel enough!
