This is a beautiful historic property. The room was beautiful and well appointed. The staff all quite helpful. The location was perfect, right next to the Duomo. The perfect place to stay in Florence.
The suite was nice and spacious. The weather was warm and the heat was still on, but I managed with the windows open. Great central location, easily walkable from the train station.
From the moment we arrived, Serena made us feel right at home. This hotel is absolutely beautiful — the rooms are works of art, and the breakfast is pure perfection. We totally recommend this hotel and Serena
This was my second time staying at Palazzo Niccolini Al Duomo and loved every minute of it! The staff are so friendly and welcoming – and the place is simply beautiful. You have the view of the Duomo in every room.
Saying this hotel is amazing would be an understatement. It is absolutely THE BEST on all levels from the phenomenal staff to the incredible ambiance and perfect location. If I could give it a million stars beyond 5, I would.
What a delightful stay! Such a unique and lovely accommodation that is the palatial home of the managing owners. Adjacent to the Duomo plaza, we could see the dome from our room and there were plenty of dining and shopping options. Walkable to all the best of Florence! Friendly and gracious staff!
Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo is a gem and exceeded our expectations. We had views of the Duomo from our very large windows. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Our room was amazing with every detail designed to take you back in time, but with modern amenities. I highly recommend, especially due to the proximity to all of the major sights and museums.
Room was fine. Heater was in overdrive and the check out process was not clear. We also could not communicate in the few days before the stay on the Expedia app.
Very central. Easy to walk everywhere and very close to duomo. The rooms are large with a small AC, so if you go in summer keep in mind it is hard to cool the rooms down. Bathrooms not air conditioned but large and nice. Small boutique hotel with accommodating staff and a good breakfast
When we arrived, we met the owner who informed us that we were getting an upgrade and then were ushered into this unbelievable suite with 700 year old painted walls, beautiful furnishings, and lots of space. We had an issue with the transport to the hotel and the lovely receptionist went out of her way to assist in resolving the issue as well as arranging a taxi to the train station. Best hotel experience ever. Highly recommend.
The property itself could be a gem. Great views, very nice staff. But the place was so dirty and not maintained. It is not a 5 star hotel no way. That said, it had character. With some minimal
renovation work, some paint, and new floors and cleaning - they could have something special. But I would not recommend. Far better places for less money.
Spectacular small hotel right in the heart of Florence. This place is unbelievably close to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore...as in, it is almost adjacent to it. Our room was exceptional and the staff was attentive. We only wished that we could have stayed longer. One note...we brought a rental car to this hotel, and reaching it through the streets of Florence was fairly challenging. If you do that, I would plan ahead and get clear arrival instructions from the hotel in advance, as relying on guidance from a map app may not work well. Overall, a beautiful hotel!

This is an excellent hotel and in most respects a five star hotel. The positives are a beautiful historic building with frescos on the ceiling and antique furniture several centuries old. The. view from our room of the Duomo was spectacular. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the services from employees was first class in all respects. The only negative was significant. The room had a very strong sewer odor that made it almost uninhabitable. The solution was to open the three large windows overlooking the Duomo and this made the odor dissipate to acceptable levels. Unfortunately the tourist and youthful population of Florence drinks and partties until 2-3am in the morning and the Duomo is a popular place. The loud noise made sleeping very difficult. We chose noise over sewer smell but this is not a choice that a client paying over $700 per night should have to make. We also had some water leakage problems in the bathroom. I think much of the issue may stem from rain and old infrastructure of the city but they should have made us aware of this reality before accepting our reservation. The room was # 9 called the Empire Suite. Resolving this problem the Palazzo Niccolini would deserve the highest rating.
Great service, especially helpful making arrangements for transportation and dinner. The hotel itself is beautiful. If you are looking for modern, this is not for you but nothing in this area is what I would consider modern. It it classic, majestic and historic. Bedding was extremely comfortable and the private bath was spacious and more than accommodating. The elevators in Florence hotels are very small and old. My wife would only take the stairs from the street to the hotel level on the second floor which again, is very common in the down town locations. Would I return to this property? 100% yes! By the way, tremendous value for everything you get and all of the complimentary amenities starting with the free drinking water, complimentary bottle of wine, afternoon teas and pastry, and wonderful breakfast.
