Hotel Il Poeta Dante

The location of the hotel is amazing: the historic center around and the nearest attractions in 3 minutes walking. Breakfast croissants were freshest and so delicious!!! The hotel administrator is very friendly and welcoming!

The mattress on the bed is SO uncomfortable that after one night my back hurt for a very long time. The room on the ground floor was so noisy that it was impossible to sleep until 1 a.m. When booking this hotel, the administration did not warn that the hotel is in the ZTL zone. Just for an example: a hotel in Rome sent me all the necessary information a month before my arrival, and I did not get a penalty. Here no one had warned in advance. If I knew about ZTL rules in Florence, I would never have chosen this hotel with car. On the day of my check-in, I asked for permission to enter in ZTL, but the hotel explained me that this document is issued by special authorized bodies. So nothing could be done. Thus, the cost of one night in Florence for me became comparable with the cost of a direct flight from Moscow to Italy :(

The location was about the only good thing about the room

Smell of damp. Couldn’t open window as on ground floor and people could see in. Air con noisy. Cockroach in bathroom. Stains on towels. Came in to clean our room while we were out and left it unlocked. Dodgy electrics. Bed was two singles shoved together. Shower didn’t drain properly. I could go on and on and on.
