There is a coffee and beverage bar that guests can take part in at no cost to them.

Happy hour and the honesty bar were lovely touches.

Comfortable room, great staff, an honor bar, excellent breakfast, good location, happy hour, nice outdoor area.

There is also a complimentary water refilling station and coffee bar.

Varied and delicious breakfast, complimentary happy hour in the garden and complete coffee bar enhances the visit.

Happy hour is a really nice touch and a great start to an evening exploring what the cities restaurants and bars have to offer.

It was very clean with free happy hour and mini bar drinks.

Hotel David offers many free services, among car parking, mini bar and happy hour.

They have a bar downstairs that works on the Honour system - you pour yourself a drink and just write down what you had.

The always-available coffee and soft drinks, the apertivo hour (with wines and snack), the honor bar and the genuine kindness and knowledgeability of the staff make this a perfect place to stay in one of the most beautiful of cities.

Free mini bar, happy hour with wine and excellent snacks.

It’s not for everyone … for example if u want a rocking bar or serious night life don’t come here

Very safe and walkable It is also in a vibrant neighborhood with bars and restaurants that are just around the corner.

The hotel has an extremely generous mini bar policy and also offers a fantastic happy hour every evening with snacks.

The room was very spacious and comfortable with a large balcony and free mini bar.

In addition, the mini bar in your room is also complimentary with coke and beer.

On arrival, they showed us where to park our car and, on departure, they gave us complimentary large bars of soap.

The breakfast has good choices and they even do a happy hour every day (and if you miss that there is an honesty bar).

Also the bar is open all night and you can sit late at night still outside in a secure area.

It is so charming with an extremely lovely staff, fantastic amenities (filtered water to refill water bottles, anytime coffee/tea, happy hour wine, and an incredible breakfast), and lovely rooms!

The evening happy hours were icing on an already delicious cake.

but good extras that are provided- be it free happy hour snacks and drinks, free breakfast and free parking.

It has its own free parking, the breakfast is delicious and complete, and they even provide a sort of brunch at the end of the day, equally good.

..to experiencing the buffet breakfast in the mornings to the daily happy hour at 6.30pm till 8pm to meet other travellers.

Breakfast was fantastic: a spread of breads, cheeses, meats, yogurt, pastries, fresh fruit, cereals, and more!!!

The breakfast is lovely with fresh produce delivered daily.

The breakfast AND the happy hours are very nice; and the staff is the finest part.

The staff, the garden, breakfast out on the deck, our room and wow what a happy hour.

Every day for the week we stayed at Hotel David they made sure we enjoyed their great breakfast to start the day and then their "happy hour" with delicious snacks and wine in the early evening before we went out for dinner.

Free drinks in the day, happy hour (free wine and food), and a decent breakfast.

So many amenities including a hearty complimentary breakfast and happy hour, self service coffee, and 3 free drinks a day including beer.

Excellent breakfast (included in the rate).

We thoroughly enjoyed the extra amenities, like happy hour (with snacks), high quality coffee at any time of day, and a delicious breakfast.

The breakfast and happy hour were eagerly anticipated every day.

Breakfast had a plenty of choice and the lady in charge was so lovely!

The breakfast was so nice with plenty of fresh food and fruit available and the breakfast staff couldn't have been more helpful; always keeping the breakfast area clean and the dishes full.

It turns out that they keep those items on hand "just in case" they are needed.

Who travels with one suitcase between two people?

I think the desk is staffed 24/7,   which is not the case at most small hotels.

Three suitcase holders (and not just one)!! Tick.

but there was plenty of room for our suitcases and clothes.

Hotel David should be a case study for all those!!

The lobby area has lots of books and games and a small "business center" in case you didn't bring your own computer.

The chairs on the balcony had blankets on them in case you got cold sitting on the balcony.

I made mistake of trusting my Google maps and it was difficult to negotiate through tourists with a big case.

If you travel by car and don’t want to worry about the painful (and costly in case of fine) ZTL (limited traffic zone)

A rack full of umbrellas by the door in case of rain and the nicest location.

We knew we had to move for the last night, room 14, first floor too, slightly smaller, equally good bathroom, cases and everything moved for us.

We had a balcony with roll up blankets in case we got cold.

Loud voices and doors opening & closing plus suitcases rolling all around.

Parking is limited so car keys have to be left at the reception in case they need to shuffle the cars around.

then gave us "extra tickets" in case we didn't get back in time.

We are almost reluctant to write this review in case we cannot manage to secure a reservation in the future.

In case this is useful information to anyone - the hair dryers provided are fabulously powerful - no need to take your own!

When we left they bought the car round to the front and loaded the cases.

As I was digging in my bag for it she came across it and said oh ok you paid.

The triple room where we stayed, in addition to being spacious, is beautifully decorated and brings that cozy feeling of a home away from home.

We loved all of the personal touches and art throughout the property.

The daily happy hour where food and drinks are provided is a wonderful opportunity to meet other guests at the hotel and enjoy a few hours relaxation in a lovely home style environment.

This cozy hotel located just outside of the  of center of everything in is a perfect, affordable and amazing place for anyone wanting to enjoy their time in Florence.

The room we booked was very comfortable and spotless with antique furnishings.

The hotel exuded the charm and sweetness of Florence and you could imagine why Michelangelo loved Florence.

The hotel is clean and classic and has just the right amount of whimsy to keep things fun and unpretentious.

We also appreciated the vibe of this place.

The hotel has the perfect blend of historical and modern amenities, including bright, fresh bathrooms.

While that is convenient, the many "extras" of the Hotel David and the overall delightfulness of it more than makes up for its location which most certainly does have its charms.

We really enjoyed the convivial ambience, the relaxing common areas and the friendly, helpful staff.

but because of the perfect mood and ambience that they provide.

The courtyard with tables & chairs were so cute, the lobby felt like a cozy living room.

Room 6: designed for accessibility, toilet is VERY tall.

The hotel was clean, well appointed, and cozy.

The staff is warm and welcoming, location excellent to tour Firenze Centro, the wine and appetizers were good and the terrace is so cozy!

As soon as we walked in, we felt the charm that exuded from the hotel.

It's the vibe--attracting well-read clientele who all want to hang out (quietly) for happy hour each night.

Like many Italian hotels you will have to walk up several flights of steps.MANY nice places to eat just out the door.

although there is a number of good meal choices within 5 min of hotel .

Several good restaurants and the team at David  give good recommendations.

This hotel will go the extra mile for you - free cold drinks including beer and hot drinks available 24/7 with snacks.

Lovely restaurants nearby and a short walk to Piazza Michelangelo for the incredible and iconic views of beautiful Firenze!

Several traditional restaurants are also close to hotel.

The front desk could not be more helpful in making dinner reservations.

The staff is extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations, directions and sold us bus tickets which made things very convenient visiting Florence.

The happy hour is incredible, and if it hadn't been for some very hungry mosquitos we would have stayed and enjoyed the food and drinks longer.

He made a gluten free pizza for my wife, she has celiac disease, for happy hour.

We had troubles with a reservation one night and ordered in and enjoyed our dinner in the front garden - we didn’t have a nicer setting for our meal in our 10 days in Italy.

I am gluten free & they had gluten free bread & a toaster to use, a huge spread of delicious breakfast food.

Yes, it is outside the city center - that means you are closer to more authentic, well, less touristy, restaurants which were walkable from the Hotel David.

It’s the first time we went to a hotel that it felt like home, from the check in, it went very smooth, no hassles, we were able to drop off our luggage, offered us coffee and drinks upon arrival, gave us some directions to where we are headed, free parking and a happy hour with pizza and some charcuteries not just drinks.

LOVELY HAPPY HOUR with many wine choices and tasty local snackies.

Comfortable rooms, delightful little breakfast and friendly helpful staff.

Rooms at Hotel David are spacious and very clean.

The rooms are immaculate and the facilities are incredible.

The rooms are very spacious and offered enough storage space for our luggage.

The entire staff is lovely, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and all the extras which are included [which rarely happens nowadays!!]

The rooms themselves are simple, and exactly what we needed to enjoy our stay.

Our room was large, the covered patio perfect, bed was very comfortable (we had the suite on the top floor).

This is an excellent hotel with a very friendly reception, comfortable rooms and all you may need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Good hotel,environment conscious, clean rooms and ovely breakfast.The staff was so kind and willing to help.

Our room was clean, well appointed and comfortable.

We stupidly left some items in our room safe and the staff ensured that we were reunited with our belongings as we continued on our travels in Italy.

We booked a room on the top floor with a terrace.

My room was a lovely size, spotless clean and at sunrise the light came in the window.

if you come by car, there’s a parking space- which in florence is not an easy thing
In terms of location, it is a 30 min walk if you are slow and lazy like me or a 16 min walk ( according to google :))
U can also take the bus ( they sell biglieti at the hotel so u wont have to look for a tabaccheria to buy them)
Or you can take a taxi - bottom line is: it is really easy and fast to get to all attractions
It is in florence

We liked the fact that the hotel is not right in the city centre, it is only a 25 minute slow walk to the Ponte Vecchio.

We got a very slow start our first morning, returning to our room after breakfast and not getting out until after 2pm.

really well located for the Pitti Palace and only a slow 20 min walk to the center along the river.

Our flight was delayed by 2 hours and the car rental was slow

I am slow to put up poor reviews (I have the terrible review of the Gran Paradiso Hotel I wrote in mind)

but the staff make up for it and so do the facilities.

Very close to most visited sites.Very friendly staff.

The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help.

Finally, I cannot fail to highlight the friendliness and attention provided by the entire hotel team. Top-notch!!

The hotel is wonderful, confortable, clean, well located, nice staff.

.from the moment you walk in to be greeted by a smiling face at the check in desk.

The staff are polite, helpful and genuine.

It almost felt like family and we were deeply impressed by the extremely competent and friendly staff - we have never experienced anything like it, true hospitality.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome, good communication and friendly attitudes.

The staff at the Hotel David in Florence, Italy, are among the best I have ever seen and I have traveled to 65 countries over the past 40 years and stayed at some of the best hotels from India to Brazil.

The service was amazing, the staff was friendly and always willing to help with anything from arranging transportation to providing suggestions.

Located a reasonable 20min walk from centre of town

The hotel is located less than one mile from the city center and the walk along the river to the bridges is gorgeous.

Good location with a 25 minute walk to the historic center or a very easy bus/taxi ride.

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood a short walk to the city center, Hotel David is utterly charming.

We took taxis into the historic heart of the town (Duomo & Academia areas) and walked back to the Hotel.

It is outside the city center- a longer walk at the end of the day-

but it's an otherwise lovely, scenic walk to downtown Florence along the Arno River.

You can walk almost anywhere by walking along the river.

however it’s a pretty walk along the river.

The location was close enough to walk to the center of Florence.

but an easy and pleasant 20 min walk to the city centre - or a 5 min bus ride from the stop right outside the hotel if you must.

Anyone who says it is a short walk means it is a 20 minute walk minimum.

The hotel is a 20 minute walk from the historical centre

Off the beaten path, just a 15-20 min walk from the duomo, the property is quiet and peaceful.

He organised tickets for the Gallerie Borghese ( which must be pre booked) at very short notice.

15 to 20 minute walk to all the tourist sites, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Borghese Gallery.

It was very helpful to have the services of the concierge, especially in reserving our tickets to the Villa Borghese.

We walked everywhere, , the hotel is a comfortable walk away from the trevi fountain, villa borghese, the vatican everything, , perfect location and great value for money!

Villa Borghese is also within walking distance.

The staff were friendly and personable as well as extremely helpful, including booking some last minute tickets for us at the Villa Borghese and recommending places to eat.

There is a fantastic park (Villa Borghese - third largest public park in Rome) if you're tired of pavement and stone.

Furthermore, at the extreme you can walk to Villa Borghese in about 40 minutes, visiting most of the key sites along the way with a few detours.

She managed to book a time slot for me at the Gallery Borghese, which is by appointment only, and usually needs a week's notice since it is so popular.

The staff even booked us tickets at the Borghese Gallery on short notice.

Elena called ahead to get us a spot at the Borghese Gallery, very much appreciated.

The location is very central to Termini Station, approx 10 minutes walk and within 15 minutes of Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and approx 30 minutes walk to Villa Borghese Gardens.

Termini serves Fiumicino Airport by direct service). From the Raffaello, access all Rome from the Via Urbana metro stop (change at Termini stop for access to the Vatican, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Villa Borghese, etc, etc, etc!)

We would like to thank Flavia who served us at breakfast.

Delightful stay - the breakfast was lovely, the staff were warm and welcoming, service was outstanding, hotel is clean and the rooms are neat.

Breakfast area was clean and comfortable and the staff there were very pleasant.

The breakfast was really good with lots of selection and really good fresh squeezed orange juice and cappuccino.

Also, really lovely breakfast and service which helped us to fuel up and start our day, the location was just perfect.

but the hotel was clean, comfortable, breakfast (optional) filled a hole and service was great.

While the hotel's elevator was broken, they helped us bring our bags to our rooms and compensated us with free breakfast, which was very delicious.

The wait staff at the breakfast area was amazing.

The staff were lovely and the breakfast fantastic.

Staff at reception and in the breakfast room and the cleaning staff are lovely and do a wonderful job.

We didn’t have breakfast any morning as we were up and gone sightseeing early.

Extensive breakfast enabled us to skip lunch most days as we were touring.

The breakfast serving staff was very attentive.

The hotel is in Monti (I think) and was walking distance to the colosseum, Trevi, Spanish Steps, Pantheon and Termini station.

Walked to major sites - Colosseum, Trevi, Spanish Steps.

Also an easy 10 min walk to the Colosseum.

Walking distance to the colosseum as well as most of Rome's major tourist attractions.

very nice hotel ,great breakfast,good location for sightseeing,very near is supermarket ,bars,restaurants and less than ten minutes walking to colosseum,and also metro is five minute walking distance, quiet for sleeping, very helpfull people at hotel. ..

It will take you about 10 minutes to walk to the Colosseum and very good restaurants close by, safe area though.

We walked to the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain which were about 10-15 minutes walking as well.

Walking distance to the Colosseum & Plaza  Maria de Maggiorrie, well worth visiting.

Great location and can easily walk to Colosseum and enjoy a nice stroll through old town.

Though it is very central (within walking distance to the Colosseum), it was very quiet.

The hotel is centrally located (a few blocks from the Colosseum) and is really lovely.

but it is in a fantastic location, 10 minutes walk from termini station and approx 15 minutes walk to the colosseum.

Easy walking distance to all main location, Colosseum, trevi fountain & spanish steps.

We chose the Raffaello because it is close to Termini station and also the archeological sites. In truth, we walked to all the locations we visited (Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill, Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican, Parthenon, etc.)

The hotel is located blocks from the Termini train station and blocks from the Colosseum.

For starters, this hotel is within walking distance of so many attractions including the Colosseum, Santa Maria Majore Church and San Piedro Nicolo.

I was able to visit the Colosseum and the Vatican city and commute using just the buses 81 and 64.

The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the Cavour, Republica, and Termini metro stations, and less than a 15 minute walk from the Colosseum and surrounding ruins.

My ten year old son and I had a great stay at Hotel Raffaelo is ideally located within easy walking distance from the Colosseum, the Forum, Trevi Fountain and Rome's central station.

The lift wasn’t working for the week so had to carry our luggage up to our room.

Lift doesn't work, no hot water night or in the morning.

Notes: the elevator is out of commission and, according to the front desk, will be for some time.

There were no elevators and if you have mobility issues this can be a real problem and the shower was like getting into a cubicle with no room to move.

Only downside is the lift doesn’t work so it’s a very tough climb up to 4th floor on steep stairs even for fit people😅

Only downsides were the lift not working (

The only issue we had was that the elevator was not working, so walking up and down the stairs was a bit of a workout for a couple in our 70's.

The elevator was broken and the staff was very apologetic

Lift was broken, staff were unhelpful/rude.

The next day we woke up and the lift was broken, so therefore I had 3 flights of stairs to get to reception.

The lift is way too small (3 pax can barely stand in it) and stops at intermediate levels, so you always have to climb up/down the stairs for reaching the rooms, which is quite inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage.
