We loved everything about our stay at Hotel Balestri. The location right by the Arno River was a quick, easy (flat) walk to every major museum and attraction in Florence. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the shower water pressure was very strong. We started every morning in their amazing continental breakfast room and ended almost every night in the lively and festive cocktail bar. Staff was warm, welcoming,

The room was amazing, we stayed in the junior suite and the views along the Arno river were perfect. Hotel was perfect location and within walking distance to every major site. Breakfast selection was mediocre, but it was free. Only taking off one star because the front desk were not friendly to us. It felt we didn’t exist at times walking in and out of the hotel without a greeting or acknowledgement.

Excellent, elegant, small boutique hotel in the middle of all the important places to go in Florence, I say it with the knowledge of someone who has lived there twice. Tthe service is exceptional, welcoming, kind, friendly and in disposition to help. I had the luck to spend Holloween night in their bar and they went out of their way to decorate it. I plan to go back if I return to that beautiful city, I thank all the staff for making my stay so pleasurable!

First we would like to express our deep appreciation for Hotel Balestri for their kindness. We accidentally booked the wrong dates and they allowed us to correct our error without hesitation. The hotel was also spotless, treated its guests with utmost care, kindness, and respect and provided a lovely complimentary breakfast. It is also very accessible to all that Florence has to offer. We highly recommend.
