Hotel La Scaletta - Florence

The room was dirty

We were very impressed with the Hotel La Scaletta. The reception staff spoke good English and were very helpful. The room was very clean and spacious with cable TV and air conditioning (both of which worked). The location was fantastic, being a minute's walk from the Ponte Vecchio, but amazingly quiet considering it was right in the centre of a tourist area. Our only complaint was that the breakfast was dreadful (horrible coffee, pre packed croissants and juice from a machine) and the one member of staff who appeared to be on breakfast room duty was slow to respond to requests and at one point verged on rude. If we had been staying more than one night we would have looked elsewhere for breakfast on subsequent days. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend it.

Great location - lots of good restaurants and shops on your doorstep. Away from the madding crowds although a stones throw from the Ponte Vecchio bridge. The roof top bar is an absolute treasure and there is no better place to have a sundowner. We had a quiet room overlooking the Boboli Gardens and the staff were friendly and relaxed.

I was not very happy with my stay at your hotel. First of all, the staff at the desk were not very friendly. They greeted us on arrival and during our stay with a stern look. The beds were very hard. We had requested a matrimonial bed instead we got 2 doubles that were put together as one bed. I will not stay at this hotel again.

Hotel La Scaletta has a computer in the lobby with free internet usage. Most places charge. The view from the terrace is beautiful.

This is the first time we had stayed at Hotel La Scaletta however we have been to Florence about 5 times over the past 8 years and stayed in a variety of hotels and rented accomodation - some not so good. The hotel is located on the Altarno - on the side of the Pitti Palace which is an excellent location as you do not have the noise of the main area of Florence yet you are are only a few hundred metres away from the main activity in Florence. The only disadvantage of this hotel is that it is on the 2nd Floor which is accessed by a small lift - the lift will only take 2 people or one person and 1 large suitcase at a time. However the lift is new and my wife, not liking lifts too much, was fine with this one. Once in the hotel the room we had was downstairs from the reception with no lift therefore you need to be comfortable carrying your cases down and up the stairs as necessary. The room we had was room 24 and a lovely clean large room with a large bathroom. The only disadvantage of the room was that it did not have a safe. The room was quiet and extremely clean and comfortable. The breakfast was of no great merit however the views on the terraces is amazing and well worth just being in the hotel to see it. All in all having stayed in many hotels and rented accomodations in Florence and Italy this is one that we would return to without hesitation on our next visit to Florence.

Excellent hotel. Great view from the terrace, good breakfast, helpful front desk, free internet (good for planning your train connections). Location is great. There are many restaurants around but overpriced and of poor quality. Better find something in Santa Croce area (15 min walk). Would come back without second thought.

price, clearness, services...Everything was great. But.. a little bit difficult to find a hotel because there is no sign in the street at night.

Excellent value, quality and location. Situated a hundred yards south of the Ponte Vecchio in a 15th century pallazzo, the hotel is on the third floor, accessed by a small caged lift. The room was large and stylish. Stairs from the breakfast room lead to a roof terrace with a wonderful 360 degree view of the city. The staff were all professional and helpful. Very near the Piazza di Santo Spirito with fine reasonably priced Rough guide reccommended resturants. As first-time visitors to Firenze, I feel we landed on our feet thanks to Venere's excellent website.

Hotel situé au 3 ème étage d'un immeuble tout proche du Ponte Vecchio. Personnel un peu indifférent. IL faut demander les chambres 20, 21 ou 22, qui sont très calmes, avec vue sur le jardins des Bobolli. SDB (la 21 a une petite baignoire) propre mais à refaire. Petit déjeuner continental. Se lever tot pour avoir nectarines pltut que pommes ou bananes . Réduction 10 à 20 E/ chambre et /jour en payant en espèces . Parking un peu dur .
