Amazing location, steps from the Ponte Vecchio, the room, services and amenities were FiveStar. The staff was helpful, efficient and friendly. Rooftop bar and breakfast buffet room were both spectacular! Two elevators is a critical bonus. The bathroom was the best I experienced in ( tub/shower floor was a bit slippery). The bottle of Rose sparkling upon arrival was classy. Sono molte grato!

This hotel was a great find. Located right on the river near the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. They upgraded us to a suite which was large with a comfortable bed and sitting area. They even provided night shirts. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. One of the best features was a bar located on the top floor. I had an outdoor seating area with a view of the skyline, absolutely beautiful. It was also an easy walk to the train station. My only regret is that we didn’t stay here longer.

This was our second stay in Hotel Degli Orafi - both December 2024 and December 2023. Each visit was superb. Of course, the location is so convenient to the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio. We found the staff to be excellent, very professional and very accommodating. The building is fun to explore and discover its history. We loved spending time in the evening in the rooftop lounge with its magnificent views. Breakfasts were wonderful, plenty of coffee made to order. We will happily return next time we are in Florence.

We stayed in a room with a view over the river Arno and the Ponte Vecchio. We were not disappointed the view was great. The executive double room was reasonably large. The double room was formed from a twin room and so one consequence was that there was only one bedside table. This was annoying but could easily be remedied by the hotel putting an extra bedside table when the room is used as double. The ensuite is long and thin. There is a single shower with adequate water pressure. However the shower compartment did not seal properly and so there was a lot of water on the floor after a shower. The rooms are serviced every day and they mopped everything up so it was not a major problem Room service was good-every day in the morning and again in the evening if you were out. There was one bottle of water and 1 bottle of wine free anything else from the mini-bar you had to pay for. The decor and carpets were a little tired. For us this was compensated by the fantastic view from the room. Breakfast was great and served in a beautiful room. You are seated and you order coffee or tea then you help yourself to food. Great fresh bread is provided which you can toast. My wife is gluten free and they always had gluten free bread for her. Hot food options were scrambled egg, bacon or sausage. These were great though the sausages were too strong for me. The cold food options were extensive and excellent quality. No other food is served for the rest of the day. However, there is a rooftop bar with brilliant views over Florence. This serves snacks such as lasagne, a plate of meats with bread and tuna or turkey salads. The bar was quiet during the week but got very busy at the weekend. The location of the hotel next to the Uffizi gallery is perfect for exploring Florence. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall we are happy to recommend this hotel.

Call the carpet cleaners!
Great location right on the river and adjacent to the Ponte Vecchio. The decor is 1950's. Carpets need cleaning. Furnishings old but serviceable. Bed comfortable. Bathroom good. Staff seemed OK until I tried to extend stay. They claimed "no rooms." went on Booking.com website and there were multiple rooms available....
Great location right on the river and adjacent to the Ponte Vecchio. The decor is 1950's. Carpets need cleaning. Furnishings old but serviceable. Bed comfortable. Bathroom good. Staff seemed OK until I tried to extend stay. They claimed "no rooms." went on Booking.com website and there were multiple rooms available. They may been reacted negatively to us being an interracial couple. Nonetheless we left and booked elsewhere.

Superb, perfect in every way

We stayed in one of the modern suites - at first I was disappointed that it wasn’t an old fashioned authentically Florentine room, but we actually really enjoyed the space and having a bed each! The Wi-Fi was so much better than in other hotels and the quality of the rooms and bathrooms was superb. I like a soft bed and once I’d asked for a topper it was perfect. We’ve stayed in quite a few hotels and this had the most gorgeous room for breakfast with chandeliers and a painted ceiling with a lovely view of the Arno. The breakfast itself was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had with the most deliciously cooked cherry tomatoes and lovely fruit. The staff were polite and friendly. No complaints whatsoever, we‘d definitely stay here again and hopefully in the room with a view next time.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel during our honeymoon to Italy. The daily breakfast had a variety of American food items, and the dining staff were so friendly. The reception staff were helpful, printing out our tour vouchers and calling taxis. The 5th floor restaurant/bar is super cute. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The location is right on the river, very close to Ponte Vecchio, and walkable to major tourist sites.
