    Enjoyed its polite and pleasant staff.

    There were exceptionally comfortable beds and central heating, an electronic key card, and a work desk inside the room. Had particularly good and fantastic location directly next to the city centre. Besides, it was adjacent to a very good restaurant nearby Penta Bistrot as well as the train station.

    Had a real good stay on a long European vacation, everything was perfectly fine. The hotel has peaceful and unbeatable location very close to a very good restaurant nearby Penta Bistrot, and a nice leafy square. Plus it was max 5 mins walk to the lake.

    The bar served lots of meals for breakfast. The hotel was centrally situated right by all other attractions, all the relevant spots in the City Center and both train station and old historic center.

    Everything was fine during 1 day, loved its quiet and absolutely perfect location next to the centre of Florence. The staff were really helpful and offered guidance. My standard queen room with big bathroom, high ceiling plus the private garden was great-sized and well-appointed. I had really good days staying at this cheap hotel.

    For the price we paid, our stay at Hotel Donatello was great value. The room was spacious and well-equipped, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the city center.

    The morning meal could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

    Comfortable and in a good area.

    Have stayed there before and the staff was polite and helpful, his time the desk staff in the afternoon was rude and snippy. We had ordred a nice large room from you and were fiven a room the size of a closet. When I said that was not what I had ordered they told me that they had no info from you about the room - basically tried to brush us off. Had to get snippy myself before we were given a decent room. We will not return to the Donatello.

    Loved my very very good stay on a long European vacation. The property's location was quiet and perfect, on the private garden. What's more, it was just next door to wonderful trattorias, pizzerias and all the main historical views, Florence on a budget and the main train station in Florence...

    We had a fantastic stay at a hotel in a great location. The room was clean and spacious, with large windows that provided a beautiful view. The mini bar was well-stocked and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful, and even helped us book tickets for local attractions. Breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options including cold cuts, bread, croissants, and hot beverages. we had a great experience at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to others.
