Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms are spacious and overlook the river, beautifully decorated and very clean. The service was exceptional, from helping me plan my visit to arranging a private car tour of Tuscany on short notice. The location is just perfect, a short walk from the center of Florence, offering a peaceful setting by the Arno river. The dining experience was delightful with a wide variety of options. Overall, a great value for money.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel with well-appointed rooms featuring a nice big bathroom and great closets. The signature Westin Heavenly Bed provided exceptional comfort. The room service was prompt, although options were limited, and the balcony overlooking the Arno was absolutely fantastic.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small and had a poor layout, but the view of the street and Ponte Vecchio was great. The service was professional and efficient, with helpful staff. The location was perfect for exploring the city, being right on the River Arno with beautiful views, although it was away from the center. The dining was good and plentiful, but a little sedate. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel provided a nice stay with very comfortable rooms featuring the signature Westin Heavenly Bed, although not as luxurious as other experiences. The service was fantastic, offering quick and efficient assistance. The location was excellent for exploring the city, especially with a stunning view of the Arno river. The dining experience was superb, with a delightful brunch selection. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a nice view of the piazza in front of the hotel and a partial view of the Arno River. The connected rooms provided were perfect for our needs, and the private balcony added a luxurious touch.
