Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was our favorite hotel on the trip. Staff were so friendly and helpful, rooms were very clean, comfortable, and just lovely. It felt like it should have been more expensive (but I hope they don’t raise the prices because I want to come back!) Breakfast had a great variety of delicious treats and healthy foods. We didn’t always make it to tea and happy hour, but we really enjoyed it when we could. That sitting area was always open which we appreciated as we had two rooms and it gave us a chance to come together, sit down, have a glass of water or cup of tea and regroup before heading out again. The white noise machine in the room was an extra bonus one night when we had a noisy neighbor. Overall a wonderful stay!

Perfect location. Very reasonable rates - that include breakfast and a daily ‘happy hour’ for guests! Leonardo was exceptionally friendly and helpful with all our questions and very responsive to whatever we needed. The Davanzati will be at the top of our list for a return visit to Florence.

We were a group of friends who had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Davanzati in November 2023. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out everything was perfect. Leonardo and all the staff we met during our 8 day stay could not have been more helpful and kind. Any question we asked was answered and assistance with reservations was always forthcoming. Our room was lovely and extremely comfortable. The hotel is in a very central location and you can reach anywhere in the city of Florence easily. Florence is an excellent walking city. As others have noted there are 25 steps leading up to the hotel as there is no elevator. The staff will bring your bags up for you. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Hopefully, we will return to Florence and the Hotel Davanzati will be our choice of hotel. Grazie Mille! Kathy and the ladies from New York.

We recently spent one night at the Hotel Davanzati. The staff were extremely friendly and professional and arranged the cab for our early morning flight. The hotel offers a lot of extras--tea and coffee in the afternoon, prosecco happy hour in the early evening, slippers in the room etc. Unfortunately we left too early to try the breakfast. Our room was small (we had opted for a small double as we were only staying the one night) but charming and very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. It was a great choice and we would happily stay there again.

Such a wonderful hotel. Unless you are disabled or really unfit do not let the stairs put you off, you only actually have to go up 1 flight and they aren’t hard to walk up and down if you are of average fitness. The location is perfect, the staff are genuinely helpful and so friendly. Happy hour every afternoon with free wine and nibbles brings guests together if you feel like socialising, or you can enjoy a cosy drink in your own corner. Breakfast is plentiful and the coffees are really good. The breakfast crew are friendly and efficient. We stayed here for 5 nights and highly recommend it.

This hotel does a lot of things well. The service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. The room was spacious and quiet. The bathroom was big, but being Europe, the shower was tight. No worries. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The location was very convenient and in a great neighborhood. The only downside was our room got warm at night (by our standard). The thermostat read 64 F but it really felt warmer. Bottom line, a very good hotel and we would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Davanzati. I really liked all of the artwork and the paintings on the walls. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was large, but the shower was small. We overlooked the street, and the room was very quiet. We liked the included breakfast, and the included Happy Hour every evening was a bonus! The staff was excellent. They answered all our questions, gave us maps, phoned taxis for us, and gave us *great* recommendations for restaurants. (Go to Il Desco!) The location was also great! We were within 10 minutes walk of the Ponte Vecchio, the Pitti Palace, the Accademia Gallery (David), and the Uffizi Gallery. Don't miss the lesser-known Museo Galileo (museum of science). The only drawback was the stairs. There is a steep staircase to get up to the second floor, where the elevator is. However, if you use the intercom, the staff will come down and help you with your luggage. We had no issue with the stairs when we weren't hauling luggage, but people with mobility issues need to be aware of this. If we go back to Florence/Firenze, we would book here again.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect hotel with lovely rooms; friendly staff; and a cafe open most hours of the day into late afternoon, providing breakfast in the mornings with coffee and tea, sweets, snacks, later in the day. We were concerned about the entry steps, but hotel staff offered immediate service both upon our arrival and departure. Would definitely stay here again.

Felt like a boutique hotel in a historic building. Not easy to find with just a small plaque outside the entrance. Very central in the middle of all the sights and a 10 minute walk from the train station. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Anyone who finds climbing stairs difficult needs to be aware that there are 20 plus steps up to the hotel entrance from the street. Staff are happy to help with luggage. Well equipped room with comfortable bed, fridge, tv, two chairs and safe. Room was quiet with windows closed and effective air conditioning. Plenty of plug sockets including next to the bed, and ample storage space, with hangars. Spotlessly clean. Lovely big bath towels. Ample breakfast with a good choice including fruit, yogurt, cereals, bread, croissants, cheese, ham etc, but not much variety each day. Freshly made filter coffee and cappuccino. The free availability of fresh apples and water, plus the free afternoon tea and cake, and free drinks with crisps and peanuts in the evening happy hour, more than made up for any minor quibbles about breakfast.
