Great staff willing to go the distance to offer us the better room available. Plus, they were sensitive enough to give us a complimentary gift since it was our honeymoon.
Staff were amazing, property is gorgeous, you must try the spa. Marcus and Anna there were outstanding. Breakfast could have more warm options, and the rooms were a little on the small side but to be expected for a European property. Overall truly a 5 star property.
We had the most wonderful seven night stay at the Helvetia and Bristol last week. From the moment we entered, we were treated so kindly. The entire staff, from front desk to housekeeping to doormen to restaurant staff, were so warm, friendly, and helpful. The rooms were spacious and gorgeous, and turndown service a delight each night, with slippers laid out for us and chocolates on our pillows. The location was central to everything. Truly, there is not a single negative thing I could say - this is a magical hotel. We’ll be back!
This is an exquisite hotel with absolute luxury and simply the best breakfast buffet we had in all of Italy. We traveled from Venice to Florence and this hotel was a last splurge. It was worth the high price. The room was beautiful in the newer Bristol tower and the spa was relaxing. The best breakfast buffet with cheery staff made our last day so happy.
Everything here is next level top of the line! From the staff to the gorgeous rooms, spa with Roman bath, and the restaurant and bar. I would absolutely stay here again and can’t wait to go back!
Beautiful property, beautifully maintained, wonderful staff. Zero complaints with my stay here. Definitely will be returning. Perfect location in Central Florence as well. Very easy to access anything and everything you’d want to see.
Italian hospitality at its best - caring, friendly and professional staff, especially helpful was siñor Franchesco who explained everything to us in a very clear way and took good care of us during our 7 day stay
Of course for those few people like us who rented a car and drove into Florence it was a nightmare to drive through busy crowded narrow medieval streets to get to the hotel but they have an option to park your car in the nearby garage and bring it on demand
Room was cozy, historic and clean ; service at the restaurant was good, so was the breakfast buffet - it would be better if breakfast extended to 11 am instead of finishing at 10:30 for those like us who aren’t early risers / overall staying at Helvetia Bristol was wonderful as was staying in Florence for the entire week/ would definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay at Helvetia & Bristol! The hotel is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome—and our dog was treated like royalty. He got just as much attention (if not more!) than we did. It’s rare to find a place that’s this elegant and still so down-to-earth and dog-friendly. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
Friendly attentive staff. Property is kept in clean immaculate condition with a wonderful spa. Situated within walking distance of all major attractions. An ideal property to explore Florence and offers good relaxation facilities.
