While located right beside del Vecchio bridge in the busiest part of the city during a very hot week in June, the Hotel Degli Orafi was an oasis of cool and luxury. The breakfast had lots more options than a typical hotel breakfast. When I had an issue with the key to my room, the front desk staff was very responsive. The negroni I had at the rooftop bar was the best (although most expensive e by far) I had anywhere in Italy. And the avocado toast with smoked salmon made for a perfect light dinner.

Beautiful hotel, extremely helpful staff and the perfect location!

What really stood out about this hotel was the staff and the location. We were close to everything in terms of walking and didn't have to call for an uber or taxi once. Most importantly was to help from the staff. My wife is almost 6 months pregnant and specifically for her needs. On the first night the air conditioner in our room was not working well enough to keep the room cold. They gave us some fans but that was only a temporary help and was not a permanent fix. The next night, thankfully, they were able to upgrade us to a suite that was very big with plenty of rooms for all of our luggage. The only critique I would have would be the mattress was very firm, but other than that I could not recommend this hotel more

Excellent Hotel. Staff is dressed professionally and very kind and accommodating. Room was spacious for Europe standards and bathroom was very nice with two sinks and separate room for toilet and bidet. Beautiful dining room and wonderful food selection for breakfast and service impeccable. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Excellent hotel, clean and well maintained, great location, superb breakfast buffet, reasonably priced.

Solid place all around, but nothing special beyond location. It’s dated and small, even the rooftop bar is very small. But for the money it’s perfectly lovely. It’s

Wonderful stay and everyone was helpful.

Everything about this hotel was amazing! The location was perfect! The staff was more than helpful! The full breakfast every morning is worth adding to your reservation I promise you. This will be in list of plaves to stay at again.

No view and the room was very awkwardly shaped

Room was clean and cool. Beds very hard though Staff at front desk were helpful Great location for walking to shops restaurants and local sites

The room was always very clean and made up, but we never saw anyone come to clean it. They were very efficient. The bar on the rooftop actually had more food selections than I anticipated. We enjoyed our time up there. The breakfasts were top-notch. We enjoyed the hot food the most when it was just brought out because it did cool down after a while. Location was very convenient and close to so much. The rooms are solidly built we heard almost nothing from any other room. Elevators were a bit slow, but the stairs were very convenient. The Degli Orafi very much exceeded our expectations.

The location of this hotel is superb, right on the Arno. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had been upgraded to a suite at no extra charge. We enjoyed the views from the rooftop bar. The staff were very helpful and assisted us with all our questions and needs. We highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again if we ever return to Florence.

I found the bed extremely stiff. The breakfast was mediocre. I was surprised because of the good reviews. The coffee was subpar.

Great place to stay. Close to Ufizi and palace. Also a number of great restaurants around the block from hotel.

Rooftop

we stayed from May 1 to May 4 2026. The room was clean. The hotel is next to Uffizz, a short walk to Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, and many more. Close to awesome restaurants. We were upgraded to a suite. When we got to the room we were surprised with free tshirts. The room was a good size with separate sitting area. The shower was awesome with plenty of water pressure. Toilets flushed, no problems. The room amenities were awesome, robes, slippers, lush towels, free water, we had chocolates when we arrived to our room in the evening. The toiletries were luxury. The breakfast was good with a good selection. The staff were awesome. There were 2 issues, the view from our room but not a deal breaker. The smell coming from the bathroom, even with diffuser is very unpleasant at times. The plumbing system in Florence is old, the hotel tries its best to mask it. Air conditioning was great. The way to our room was a little confusing but we mastered it ☺️.

It is great hotel in magnificent location. I keep returning to this hotel, this was my 4th time. I love the breakfast room! But I see the rooms, bathrooms, walls, windows keep deteriorating, not being updated. I think this hotel needs updates if it wants to keep the status and us coming back.

Incredible location, close to everything, wonderful staff!

Friendly and helpful staff, room clean and spacious. Only down side is small shower. But seems that is to be expected in Europe. Great location.
