Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Davanzati enjoys a prime location, just a short walk from the Duomo and Plaza Republica, making it ideal for exploring Florence. Guests often highlight the spacious and spotless rooms, some even described as 'Hollywood style' with separate dressing areas. Many appreciate the plentiful breakfast with espresso/cappuccino, along with unexpected touches like the afternoon tea and complimentary wine during cocktail hour; however, a few guests have mentioned some noise from old appliances in the rooms. Value for money is considered amazing.

noise insulation burdensome stairs

The location was acceptable for access to the main attractions.

I found the noise insulation to be inadequate. The breakfast room above caused disturbances from 5 AM until late at night. I also found stairs to reach reception burdensome.

The staff demonstrated really good helpfulness by efficiently arranging taxis for me. They also gave advice about local points of interest. The provided map contained helpful details. The breakfast offered fresh fruit , fresh pastries , delicious coffee , and honey.

The hotel lacks an elevator, making transporting luggage somewhat difficult.

insensitive card reader stair access

The front desk staff was helpful. Happy hour was a great touch.

The room lock had issues (like the room next to mine). The card reader seemed insensitive. I also found the separate shower and toilet design weird. climbing stairs to the reception with luggage was not fun.

Good Location , but Some Issues

excellent location cute staff complete breakfast hidden hotel missing sign luggage handling

The hotel has an excellent location. It is right in the middle of all the major historical sights. The staff were cute. The breakfast each morning was complete , with everything needed to start the day.

The hotel is hidden , and there is no sign whatsoever to indicate the hotel. The taxi driver had difficulty finding it. I had to climb stairs to reach the reception , and this was not ideal with luggage.
