I don't know even where to begin. Before my arrival I worked with the hotel to book tickets to Uffizi and Academia and they responded promptly and graciously.. After this I knew this would be a great stay. Once I arrived in Florence Hotel David never disappointed.

The room and bathroom were large and clean. Breakfast room was so quaint and peacful. Food was great and just what you needed in the morning (quiche, croissant, fruits, etc...) . Apertif was delicious, I had to watch myself so I could save room for dinner .

All the wonderful amenities as mentioned here and in the other reviews still come second to the staff. They were helpful and patient and did everything in their power to make our trip wonderful, even when we didn't expect it.

Yes, it is about a 20min walk to downtown but its worth it. I would not think of staying anywhere else. Also, about 2 blocks down from the Hotel (along the Arno) there is a place where the young locals hang out and drink outside at night, which was a pleasant surprise.

Will definitely be back.

For a 3 star Hotel this is absolutely top notch. We had a fantastic 4 night stay covering our 30th wedding anniversary. Gabriele and his team were extremely welcoming and helpful and even left a bottle of wine in our room to celebrate our special day. The happy hour out on the terrace each evening is a really lovely touch and all the food including breakfast was well cooked and very tasty. We would recommend this Hotel to anyone even those who can't walk too far as there is a very good bus service into the heart of the city. Rooms were lovely and clean with a huge bathroom and air conditioning both excellent and quiet.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Clean good size quiet room great air conditioning. Fantastic staff
    • Disliked — A fairly long walk in to the city especially in hot summer months but good bus service available

“Fantastic Hotel, Great Location”

Hotel David

Aug 15, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We spent one night at Hotel David and to be frank I wish it could have been longer! The hotel feels more like someone's house with its antique furniture and homely decor. Ideally located to the south-east of Florence it is a 20 minute walk into town however the area is well-serviced by buses for the less energetic.
Our room was clean, cool and felt very cosy. Aside from the fantastic staff, it is the little things that Hotel David does so well. Nice touches such as the free internet and 10 minute phone call really set it apart. However the best feature has to be the 'aperitivo' on an evening where guests can sample free wine and nibbles in the garden,
I hope to return to Florence again and would not even consider staying anywhere else.

Hotel David was great! We stayed there with our 2 teenage daughters in a large room with 4 beds. The bathroom was big and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well, which was important when we were there in July! Florence is SO hot in the summer! The hotel itself is lovely and filled with books and games in the lobby, and the grounds are beautiful to sit in in the evenings.

The breakfast was a nice assortment of cold items, and there was plenty of coffee and fruit, which we really appreciated.

Our girls enjoyed being able to access the free internet, and Hotel David offers each room 10 min of free calling to many countries, which was a bonus for us. We liked having the secure parking for our rental vehicle, as well.

We would definitely stay at Hotel David again, should we ever be fortunate enough to return to Florence!
