    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.

    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.

    The only positive thing was the awsome city where Hotel is placed.

    Air conditioning cannot be managed from your room. Each time you want to modify temp or fun speed you need to ask for at reception.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, just a short walk to the train station and the city center. The rooms were clean and spacious, and we appreciated the comfortable beds. The concierge was very helpful, especially Adrian who went out of his way to assist me when I lost my cardholder. The 24-hour concierge service and good breakfast were also a plus.

    the hotel is really worth the money. on our trip we were to rome, milano, venice and changed few hotels that were more expensive than this one and surprisingly donatello was the best of all of them! not because we payed less, but simply because it was really the nicest one. the hotel is very pretty, if you are arriving with the car it's just outside that "zona limitato" area so you can avoid it and it's really close to everything. anyway florence is a small city so it's a waste of money to take hotel in the center. i can really tell that this was the best part of our whole trip.
