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!

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.

Dear Mr. Bruce,We thank you for being our guest and for spending kind words on our historical palace, staff and services. Every day we do our very best to make every single stay wonderful. Sometimes, unpredictable technical problems can happen and what we try to do is to fix them as quickly as possible. After you mentioned the problem at your check-out, we immediately sent the maintenance technician in your room and solved the issue. If this room had this problem all the time, we believe we would be literally overwhelmed by complaints and bad reviews and couldn't sell it. Believe us, we are deeply sorry you had to face one problem during your stay and we would have been glad to resolve your dissatisfaction with an alternative room or a complimentary service. What hurts us the most is your choice to overall reviewed us so negatively, as we feel like we don't deserve such a bad judgment. We really hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Absolutely fantastic property right next to the Duomo, literally with a view of the dome from the room. It is a historical residence from the 1700s converted to a hotel. The rooms are all unique and different from one another. They are large with the feel of a historic residence while still having all the modern amenities. You can walk to all the attractions and also a 10ish minute walk to the station - totally doable if you just have carry on luggage. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to checkin early since our train arrived before the checkin time. Email responses were super fast! Can’t find anything negative to share. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again if we visit Florence again.

The hotel was amazing! Within steps of the Duomo! It is a beautiful, historic property. The staff was wonderful. The room was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. There was a hearty, breakfast buffet. The lobby had a computer, coffee/cappuccino maker and bar. The area felt very safe.

The Empire suite is a special room and was truly breathtaking with its frescoed ceilings and the Duomo view out of every 15’ window! Wowza. The furnishings were gorgeous antique as was the artwork. The deep footed tub was lovely. The staff was helpful and kind and was ready to assist with any issue. Also having parking right next to the Duomo was fantastic. But not for a driver who isn’t comfortable with tight entryways. I loved that each time I entered and exited I had help from the lovely door man. The breakfast was very good with many many choices and taken in a lovely room with frescoes and antiques. The big down side which really bummed me out, was a constant sewer smell in the bathroom and often in the room. I asked repeatedly to address this and I do believe the staff did what they could but it ruined the romance a bit. Also, the mattress was super soft (which I can handle) but also lopsided which wasn’t great. And a small thing which I thought was odd was that housekeeping twice left out either a sponge or some cleaning spray in the bathroom. The location is absolutely excellent with innumerable good restaurants walking distance as well as most museums. If this hotel can get new mattresses and figure out how to repair the sewage smell, this place would be heaven. I sincerely hope that they are able to make those adjustments as it is such a special place with fascinating history and lovely staff.

Dear Mrs. Cheryl, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Palazzo Niccolini. We are happy to hear that you spent a good time with us. We always try our best to satisfy our guets and we are sorry when something goes wrong. The mattress in your suite has been recently changed, it is not medium or ultra-firm, we have purchased a mattress with a standard firmness in order to please most of our guests, but firmness is such a personal thing and we are sorry that you did not find it comfortable. For the sponge and the cleaning spray forgotten in the bathroom after cleaning, as we told you once you were here, we are so sorry about that oversight, we immediately reported to the person who made the room, unfortunately, they are human errors that can happen, but we will do our very best not to make them happen again and we apology once again for the inconvenience. Yours sincerely,

What a hidden gem! I was only in Florence for one night after a week of hiking in Cinque Terra and Tuscany. Steps from the Duomo on a tiny street this was such treat. I was upgraded to a suite that was bigger than my house. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I took their advice and had an amazing dinner across the street at Gustavino. The hotel is a former residence and has beautiful public space where you can relax and have a drink or a coffee. There are only 12 rooms but trust me you will be so delighted that you found this little hotel with a big personality/
