Gallery Hotel Art

This place is perfect. You are literally a block from Ponte Vecchio and minutes from all the attractions (ie Duomo, Statue of David, etc). The hotel gave us a amazing room with a patio looking at the Duomo and a bottle of champagne! The staff was so kind! Definitely recommend if in Florence. Decent prices as well!

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago and it was a wonderful hotel. We were helped by the nicest woman in the front who initially showed us to a room on the first floor above the restaurant. We had asked for a room away from the restaurant to avoid noise for our baby. So she patiently showed us a couple more available rooms. We ended up in the perfect room towards the back with less noise.
The location of this hotel is in a hidden little street right next to the Ponte Vecchio. We absolutely loved the location and the hotel was nice and peaceful. Everyone during the stay was extremely helpful.
There was a taxi strike on the day we left and there was a man who was quite hurried and short with us and another guest about getting a taxi. He kept telling us to walk even though we had a lot of luggage and a baby. I was told by a friend after that there was a taxi stand nearby that we could have used as taxis were still working, they were just not picking up the phones. The lady that was helping us was trying to get us into a large taxi and he was herding the other guests. When they discussed, he basically said, he did not care that we needed to get to the train station first, that a guest is a guest to him and so it made no difference who took the taxi even though we were at the desk first and had a train earlier than the other guest. We were happy to offer to share with the other guests after the man left. Needless to say, this interaction kind of marred our otherwise positive experience. There is never any reason to be rude to guests.

5 stars for this great hotel, which has very large, modern rooms by any standard (let alone European standard) and is ideally located in Florence. In the best area, it is only an 8 EUR taxi (or 20 minute walk) from the main train station and makes a great base for exploring the city. I’ve stayed in many hotels, and this is one of the best and most comfortable, especially given the reasonable price point for what you get (we paid a little over $ 200 on Kayak). The breakfast buffet spread is also one of the best that I’ve seen in Europe — Italian style with the meats and cheeses — but also with some American style options like eggs, potatoes, cereal and yogurt. We only stayed one night while passing through Florence, but I would have loved to stay here a longer.

Excellent service. The rooms are very nice. You cannot beat the location. We loved it.

I stayed at the Gallery Hotel Art earlier this month for two night and was extremely pleased with our stay. While planning our trip to Florence, we booked the hotel on
so we got a great deal as this is typically a pricey hotel. Thanks to Tablet, we payed a fraction of the actual rate! The Gallery Hotel Art is extremely well situated just steps from the Ponte Vecchio. The hotel is so well-​situated in fact, that it’s a nightmare to get to in a car. My friend and I drove from Geneva to Florence and it took us over an hour to navigate the narrow one-​way streets. In the end, we couldn’t find our way and one of the hotel’s valet people had to find our car and navigate for us. Speaking of the staff, most of them speak English (which didn’t allow me to practice my Italian as much as I should have), and are very helpful and eager to please. The hotel offers free WiFi and parking was only $ 30 euros a night. I would, without the smidgen of doubt, stay at the Gallery Hotel Art again. The room was exceptionally clean, beautiful and cozy. I did not want to leave Florence or the Gallery Hotel Art and can only hope to visit again.

Very nice hotel. The staff where friendly and helpful. Everyone spoke English. The room was clean and the bed was great. The hotel is walking distance to all site seeings are. We would return again here.
Air condition excellent and free WIFI.
We love it!

Hyper bien placé cet hôtel est à 10m de l’Arno, à 1min du Ponte Vecchio, à 3−4min du Duomo… bref, au cœur de la meule !
L’entrée est très moderne, spacieuse et agréable. Il y a des expositions de photos en permanence et pendant notre séjour, je dirai que je n’étais pas sensible au talent de l’artiste.
Les chambres n’ont pour la plupart pas de fenêtre donnant sur l’extérieur, au mieux sur une cours intérieure et on né voit pas le ciel. Sauf au 7ème étage où là on bénéficie de terrasse sur le toit ! YaY ! On a été upgradé !! Faut dire que c’est la période creuse ! J’ai réservé la veille pour avoir une chambre et ça n’a pas posé de problème. Mais c’est certainement très rare à Florence, car quand je vois le nombre de touriste dans les rues alors qu’il fait un froid de gueux et qu’on est hors scolaire…
Donc nous avons vu 2 chambres de types différents et dans l’ensemble si la déco est sympa c’est souvent alambiqué. Genre un escalier dans la chambre qui mèné à un autre espace mini salon avec 1 seul fauteuil en haut, sauf que le chauffage c’est de la clim réversible donc il fait 28° en haut et 19° en bas au niveau du lit.
La salle de bain est en marbre, jolie mais froide.
Le personnel est plutôt agréable, souriant et à l’écoute. Ici c’est principalement Italien ou Anglais. La chaine Lungarno est liée à Salvatore Ferragamo alors dans les chambres les crèmes, shampoo etc sont de la marque, et en arrivant on nous offre l’entrée au Musée Ferragamo… on y est pas allé mais l’idée est amusante. Il semble que la marque soit un des grands mécèné de la ville.
Je chipote en fait car l’hôtel précédent proposait des prestations supérieures. Mais si on né reste pas une semaine (manqué de rangements) c’est parfait ! Joli bien placé et pas besoin de courir bien loin pour boire un verre, le bar et le resto au rez de chaussée attirent le tout Florence !
