Hotel Pierre (Florence, Italy)

Situated halfway between Ponte Vecchio and Duomo, this hotel is perfect for exploring charming central Florence on foot, dining out or discovering exclusive boutique shops. Some visitors recommended bringing sturdy footwear due to the many cobbled streets around.

Diligent, friendly, attentive, professional and willing to go the extra mile are just some of the positive remarks reviewers had about the personnel at this hotel.

This hotel won praise from many travelers for offering good accommodation in a beautiful period property showcasing Florentine style and opulence. Another recurring comment from guests was that the hotel was comfortable and cleaned to a good standard.

From roosting pigeons outside the window to street cleaning crews doing their early morning rounds, some guests were kept awake when trying to sleep. There were also reports of some guests finding the walls a bit thin enabling them to hear their neighbors. If you're a light sleeper perhaps try asking for a room not facing the street.

Some of those staying in standard single rooms described them as not very spacious and lacking natural light at times. Some en suite bathrooms were also criticized for being too bijou. Some minor maintenance issues were reported such as non-functioning air-conditioning or occasional frustrations with Wi-Fi.

Motorists were often frustrated finding parking near the hotel. In a bid to keep historic central Florence spick and span, there's an extensive traffic control zone which limits vehicle access. If you're driving, the hotel can advise on parking with a minimum of fuss. A few guests warned that their cars were towed away for failing to observe strict parking rules.
