HOTEL REVIEWS

We stayed 3 nights, it was the most pleasent hotel during our one week vacation in Italy. It was quit, clean, well equiped and good located. The breakfast was rich with plentiful choice. We appreciate the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, especially the lady at the reception desk speaking german. She helped us a lot in different things, many thank for it. I recommend it to everyone, who looks for an accomodation at a good price-value rate!

This was a very clean safe, and well appointed hotel for its grade. It is a little far from the centre of the City and not on greatest bus routes but for the sake of a little walking each day was very good value. Being English we would have liked a Bath and not just a shower! Breakfasts are Italian - not really worth getting up for apart from the coffee! but that goes for every other Hotel I have stayed at in Italy! I would book this hotel again without hesitation. Great food available around the corner at Il Vegeterano - great cheap Vegetarian restaurant with quirky service arrangements and great food at silly prices.

It was my first time at Hotel Bonifacio. It is in a quiet area, a bit far from the center but within walking distance. At night quite safe to walk back. Our room was spacious and very clean. Staff was helpful. Next time we can choose it again.

The hotel is a bit far from the main tourist attractions,about 12 min walk from central train station. On the other hand,it is surrounded by small and lovely streets that i probabely wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Very nice Hotel, nice rooms, nice view (we stayed in room 18 i think). Even though not next to the center it was just 10 - 15 mins walk through a very nice neighborhood ... We really appreciated the kindness and availability of the staff ... I recommend it !

At first the walk from the train station to the hotel was daunting. Trying to wheel your luggage on narrow often very crowded streets is a challenge. Once at the hotel I was not overly impressed by the lobby or facility. As I got to know the staff and the area I came to the realization that this hotel is really a great bargain. It is away form the crowds, it is in a very quiet area, and there are several nice restaurants near by. I was particularly impressed with Fabio who was very helpfull. My wife and I stayed in room 18 which was rather plain in side, but, when you open the window and door to the terrace offered a nice view. We visited Venice, Florence, Siena, and Rome. Florence was by far our favorite.

This hotel was great for a family of 4 with older children- we were surprisingly given a double room on a higher floor in a quiet part of the hotel. Much appreciated! Breafast was expensive for what it was. Location was good - close to train and a few minutes to the centre of Beaune. Lovely bar area with a pool table - however the 10 euro cost for a game of pool was a little excessive. The provision of free internet for a short period was great. Receptionist was very helpful- especially as I had booked for the wrong dates.

Nice. Just off the beaten track and quiet. Try the nearby ristorante Il Cavaliere and the small place called Tito.

As described on the webpage, the hotel is a 15 minutes walk to most attractions (Duomo) which made the hotel quiet and out of heavy traffic. This allowed us to relax in the lovely backyard/garden in the evening and to have a peaceful sleep at night. The staff was most helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. The reception staff was welcoming and warm as well as the breakfast staff. Fresh/luxurious towels provided daily. Breakfast is simple (yogurt/fruit/cheese/ham/cereal/croissant/rolls/etc). We made this hotel our base in Italy for 6 nights and would have no problem staying there again when we return to Florence. Also, located 2 blocks from a laundromat. It was a quiet oasis in a somewhat hectic trip to Italy.

Friendly staff, clean rooms. Located within easy walking distance of markets, Duomo etc. We had 2 small children, the hotel provided small beds at no extra cost.

The hotel was a very nice property in a slightly out of the way residential neighborhood. It was a short walk to everything we needed but it was nice to retreat to a quiet neighborhood in the evenings. There were wonderful restaurants all around and good shopping - both at much lower prices than in the center of things. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful, and the rooms comfortable.

For our first time in Florence and just coming from a cramped hotel in Rome this was the most spacious room and bathroom we had in Italy. The hotel was a ten minute walk from the train station which was in a real nice area and close to all the sights and sounds of Florence.
