Nice and very central located hotel. The room for 1 Person was small but nice. I stayed just one night but I would book this hotel again next time.
Mario Junior, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic for the price

Convenient and close to the train station but for the price it was basic. No trash bin in the room. I’ve stayed in hotels half the price that were nicer.

Room is nice and clean, comfortable bed,, excellent areas, close to everything , the only thing is the building still has some under renovation and the antique closet is nice but was a little dusty inside

"I chose this hotel for its proximity to the train station and city center, and it proved to be an excellent decision." FYI The hotel room I was in, has the tiniest shower space I've ever experienced.
Christian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was quite basic but the staff were helpful and efficient. Although everything was within easy walking distance which was great, pick pockets were rife. One of us had our bag stolen outside the hotel. As we were on our way to the airport, this was a nightmare!
Clare, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room did not have much of a view in the standard double, and couldn’t get a upgrade do to how busy it was being Easter but that would be the only downside of it all. loved the view and drinks from the bar on top of the hotel. Breakfast in the hotel was great, and hotel is located in great location close to train station and all amenities! Definitely would go back

The only positive to say about this hitel is the proximity to the train station. They always try to give you the worst room in the hotel. When they change it us like we say in french They offer you to choose between LA PESTE and the CHOLERA

Definitely needs an update, rooms are old, and the walls are scratched and old. This hotel was not inexpensive at all. Definitely need to change some things, i would not return or recommend.

Segunda vez neste hotel e sempre uma experiência maravilhosa. Ótimo local, perto da estação de trem e dos pontos turísticos.
Cristiane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Dejligt klassisk hotel. Vi kommer tilbage.

Skøn beliggenhed, og ende skønnere tagterrasse. Det store marked er lige rundt om døren, og alt hvad vi behøvede var i gåafstand. Hotellet er både nyere i sine faciliteter, men stadig meget charmerende. Vi fik de første to nætter et værelse der godt kunne trænge til en kærlig hånd, men de næste to nætter fik vi en skønt værelse. Jeg vil klart bo her igen.

Bem localizado, mas quarto antigo e desconfortável

Os pontos positivos do Hotel Maquiavelli são a sua localização perto da estação de trem Santa Maria Novella, a vista da cobertura e o café da manhã bem servido e muito gostoso. No entanto, os quartos são muito antigos, sem suportes de apoio, com cortinas muito antigas e carpetes velhos, precisando urgente de uma reforma no interior do prédio. A qualidade da cama e dos travesseiros eram péssimas, quase não consegui dormir nos dias que estive hospedada no hotel, além de adquirir uma alergia. Além disso, o ar condicionado não gelava suficiente, de modo que passamos calor à noite, mesmo pedindo para os funcionários diminuírem a temperatura do ar condicionado, que é central. O banheiro tinha um tamanho razoável, estava reformado e em bom estado. Importante salientar que, na lateral do hotel, há uma rua com diversos bares e restaurantes que causam barulhos à noite, que incomodou ainda mais a dormida.

Hotel recomendable. Ubicación que facilita el transporte público, habitación limpia y cómoda con todos los servicios.
Alicia Estrada, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Voy a comenzar con lo bueno, la ubicacion es excelente, muy cerca de la estacion del tren y de casi todo. el personal muy amables todos, no se filtraba el ruido de la calle, la terraza genial. la entrada al hotel es muy bonita. la habitacion que yo rente era para 4 y era grande y las camas comodas. Yo pienso que a este hotal le falta un poco de DETALLE por ejemplo las alfrobras de los pasillos estaba muy vieja con excepcion del ultimo piso que se veia nueva, no se si es que estan cambiandolas poco a poco, la tapa del toliet de mi bano era mas pequena que el toliet, y algunas esquinas de las paredes estaba rotas, entiendo que la gente las dana con las maletas pero a eso me refiero con que LE FALTA EL DETALLE, se supone que una buena administracion veria eso, el mini frizer de mi habitacion no enfriaba bien y eso que lo cambiaron porque en mi caso necesito refrigerar medicinas, pero como no enfriaba ellos guardaron mis medicinas en sus neveras, en dos ocaciones que llegamos a la habitacion no habia luz, aunque el staff llego y lo soluciono al parecer se bajaban los brekes no lo se y ellos tampoco. No puedo opinar sobre la comida porque no comi en el hotel. Si no fueran por esos detalles les daria 10 en todo.

Overall, this hotel was excellent. The room was unique and comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sun set from the rooftop, a special amenity. Unfortunately, responsiveness from the staff was not quite as strong. We called both prior and after our stay to address some questions, and were told to email to receive a very fast reply. We emailed via Expedia and directly, several times, but never received a reply in any case. Still a great hotel, but don’t count on assistance if you need help when you are not on the premises.
