Very good location, clean room, polite and helpful staff.

Very attentive staff and well appointed hotel. Location was excellent for touring Florence’s many highlights

Impeccable house keeping every day. The rooms were very well sound insulated and peaceful. The breakfast spread was amazing.

Great location and professional staff

The staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with things to do and around the area. Check-in was very smooth and the staff was very pleasant and friendly in all of our interactions. The hotel is conveniently located in walkable to a few museums and attractions nearby. We really enjoyed our stay.

Clean room. The staff was excellent and the property was a delight. If you are looking for something close to city center this is a bit out of the way. It’s still walkable in any direction but to get to the train station will take you about 20 minutes. Now the great factor about this location is the easy access to Ponte Vecchio, Ufizi gallery and Vivilo’s cafe. The affogato at Vivoli is absolutely to die for. They have various different flavors and types of coffee. If you don’t believe me look it up. You can’t miss it. The hotel is close by to Gustapizza. This place is just as amazing. The entire region is fabulous and you can’t go wrong staying at the Ballestri. I will definitely stay here again. Oh and pay for the balcony room. It over looks the River Arno. You can have morning coffee with a pastry and soak in the views.

Room was great nothing to complain about . Fantastic location. Nice breakfast and easy to deal with car

The hotel location is perfect! The room is consistently spotless, and the staff are very attentive and courteous. It made our 4 days in Florence comfortable and enjoyable.

We loved everything about our stay at Hotel Balestri. The location right by the Arno River was a quick, easy (flat) walk to every major museum and attraction in Florence. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the shower water pressure was very strong. We started every morning in their amazing continental breakfast room and ended almost every night in the lively and festive cocktail bar. Staff was warm, welcoming,

Perfect, friendly and helpful staff

Staff were wonderful!

the room was great and very comfortable for three people. what made this hotel fantastic was the staff, from the front desk to the people helping at breakfast everyone was extremely nice, friendly and ready to help with all our requests. will go back for sure and highly recommend it.

Excellent location by the river Arno . Beautiful hotel and friendly helpful staff

Excellent location and convenient to get to museums and cathedrals. The view from the balcony is spectacular, staffs are very attentive, the service is exceptional. The only comment was the scent of the sewage lingering in the hotel.

The room was amazing, we stayed in the junior suite and the views along the Arno river were perfect. Hotel was perfect location and within walking distance to every major site. Breakfast selection was mediocre, but it was free. Only taking off one star because the front desk were not friendly to us. It felt we didn’t exist at times walking in and out of the hotel without a greeting or acknowledgement.

Teníamos dos cuartos y amablemente nos dieron upgrade en ambos a más grandes, con vistas al río, ya que el cuarto sencillo estaba demasiado pequeño, el staff muy amable, el desayuno con huevo, cereal, yoghurt, fruta, café, bastante bien servido. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Everything was PERFECT. Great staff. Room was gorgeous and comfortable with a Wonderful view. Bartender was amazing! Breakfast was tasty. Awesome location. Definitely a hotel we would stay again and again.

Everything was fantastic - clean, modern rooms, great shower, friendly staff, awesome breakfast, great location.

Lovely hotel. Our room was directly above the club/bar downstairs so music was loud until 2am. Other than it was a great location and nice stay.

Stoppwf in for two days.. great trip
