Bernini Palace

Outstanding hotel in the perfect location to experience everything Florence has to offer. The Bernini Palace is a great value for the high quality of the hotel. I would absolutely stay here again when we return to Florence.

Loved this hotel!! I didn't think I would because it appeared somewhat stuffy and baroque. And I don't know if we caught a good price but it was on par with other more expensive hotels. The breakfast staff and one desk/concierge man in particular were wonderful - very helpful and courteous. They would help you with any request. The included breakfast […] was a delicious feast - large array of hot and cold items, eggs, meats, vegetables, cheeses, many juices, several kinds of milks (soy, almond, etc), pastries, coffee, cappuccino - completely worth any up charge. The rooms are formally decorated but very nice. Ours was a bit on the small side but very comfortable and the bathroom was large/modern. Turn-down service with chocolates was a plus. Good location, very close to Ponte Vecchio, Loggia dei Lanzi, Uffizi, Piazza della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio and Gucci museum), Florence Cathedral, and Basilica of Santa Croce. About a 9/10 euro ride from train station. I would stay here again. Read more

We loved this hotel. Staff were wonderful and accomodations lovely. It use to be a Parliment building a few hundred years ago. The breakfast room was where they held meetings, it was gorgeous, and the food was good too. The lobby was huge for Italy and the bar service great. Concierge were very helpful in getting you where you need to go. They hire […] lots of drivers to take you out to the country or where ever you want to go where the trains and buses don't go. Get a driver if you have more than 3 people. It's a better deal than a tour. Excellent hotel! I would stay there again. Read more

A lovely hotel in a great location with perfect service. A place to stay where you want friendly service in an elegant location. And we got a great rate from hotels.com

Everything was excellent. Staff friendly and very helpful.Only issue was size of one person room,very small but otherwise first class. Breakfast was also excellent.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Im going to be very short on this cause everything, yes everything, was 10/10. This place has it all: excellent staff, great location, good rooms, AMAZING breakfast, and small details that make you feel special. My first time in Firenze and for sure every time I shall return I will consider Bernini Palace as my first option.

Great location. Friendly staff and eclectic design. Would visit again.

Can't say enough about the helpful staff, beautiful rooms and large bathrooms. The comfortable lounge area and bar were also great. The location perfect. Have stayed in one other hotel in Florence which while the same price did not measure up to the Bernini Palace for rooms or location. If we get back to Florence this is where we will stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel Bernini Palace was beautiful! The service was prompt and helpful, the location was ideal, close to all must-see sights, but in a quiet location, not a busy thoroughfare. My only complaint was that the heating system was set so that my room could not be cooled at all and it was consistently at 20-25 degrees celcius, so warm that I had difficulty […] sleeping at night. Also, it wasn't until I talked to the third person at the front desk that I found out that it couldn't be changed. Other than that (which was kind of big as I get grouchy when I don't get enough sleep 6 nights in a row), everything was first class. Read more

My mother and I stayed here in Oct and couldn't have been more pleased with how lovely the Classic room was. Very clean with a luxurious spa sized tub. Breakfast was good. They had prosecco for mimosas, and even had a few gluten free options. The location couldn't have been more convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

Booked 3 nights in the "Deluxe" section - check in and entered a room that smelled a little bit like sewage - the windows faced in internal courtyard/sounounding buildings with no view - But nice room. Inquired about a new room and they gave us one on floor two facing externally with a beautiful view of the town . It was the nicest room in the hotel […] and was a beautifully appointed. - high ceilings, nicely decorated and spacious. Breakfast was brilliant - meats, cheeses fruit and impeccable service - just don't show up late (after 10:30am). Best hotel location possible as close to the center of town as you can get. Valentina and the entire staff offered perfect service and she booked two beautiful tours for us. Would highly recommend this hotel - just ask for and a room with a view to the external side of hotel. Read more

We just completed a 5 night stay at this wonderful hotel. We were upgraded to a Junior Suite, and it was amazing. The room was huge by European standards, and the bathroom with a full size bathtub/shower was very comfortable. The double sink left plenty of room to get ready in the morning. The bed was very comfortable. The decor made us feel like visiting […] royalty! The breakfast buffet was very nice and included hot selections as well as sparkling wine. The cappuccino was amazing. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this place enough, and I hope to return one day! Read more

This is a great hotel and would highly recommend it. The location was perfect, really couldn't have been better - was only a couple of minutes from all the major sights.

We stayed here because of all the good reviews we read It was all pretty much spot on fantastic hotel great location friendly staff clean beautiful rooms with sufficient space. Excellent breakfast If you read reviews about noise in Florence, it's true and it's not the hotel's fault. It's just that all the walls of the buildings are made of stone so […] anybody who's out drinking night loud will be heard regardless of where you stay. I highly recommend bringing silicone putty earplugs which resolves the issue Read more

Bernini Palace Hotel is a fabulous hotel which exceeded all our expectations! The service we received at this hotel was outstanding during our entire 4 night stay this month. Every staff person we encountered was professional, courteous, and promptly attentive. The breakfast room was beautiful - a truly pleasant environment in which to begin each day. […] The breakfast room staff were superior to any we have encountered in our travels. The extensive breakfast buffet was excellent and, to our great surprise, included scrambled eggs and bacon - a rarity at European hotels. Our room and bathroom were quite spacious, nicely furnished and decorated, and immaculately clean. We especially appreciated the beautiful, pure linen sheets and shams. The exquisite turn-down service each evening was 'first class'. The only negative comment would be the problem of water leaking on the bathroom floor due to having only a partial shower enclosure - which seems typical for European hotels. Bernini Palace is just steps away from the Piazza della Signoria - a delightful piazza for enjoying outdoor dining. (Also close is beautiful Piazza della Repubblica.) The hotel is within easy walking distance to all the major tourist sites in Florence. The Uffizi Galleria and Palazzo Vecchio are located at Piazza della Signoria. We look forward to future stays at Bernini Palace Hotel. In our opinion, it absolutely deserves 4 very bright stars! Read more

Great location, gorgeous facility! The bedroom was lovely and spacious, and the breakfast room had frescoed ceilings--felt like a real palace.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were extremely well pleased with the location, quality, decor, and service offered by the Bernini Palace. Even though we were staying in the center of the action - adjacent to the Palazzo Vecchio and Uffzi Gallery and just a block or two from the Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio - we found our room to be exceptionally quiet and comfortable. […] We found the breakfast buffet to be excellent and the service outstanding. We had especially good service from Bartolo, who was both a bartender at the lounge off the lobby and a maitre d' at the breakfast buffet. Read more

The hotel was about one block away from the Palazzo Vecchio. The room was well appointed, with a view of the Doumo. The hotel has an excellent breakfast in a beautiful and historic diningroom. The staff was very professional.

This is a beautiful hotel with old world charm. The location in Florence could not be better, convenient to everything. The staff was spectacular. The breakfast was very good. Even though it was a buffet, the service staff was incredibly attentive. The negatives were that the room was warm, as they have no AC, and there wasn't any circulation. Also, […] the bed was too hard for our taste, but this seems to be somewhat typical for European hotels. In the future, I would ask for a room on a lower floor which would probably help to alleviate the heat problem. Read more

I LOVE this hotel. In an age when even the most luxurious places have a cookie-cutter quality that's hard to distinguish, the Bernini has a unique character. Even the little in-room touches that might not suit my taste are endearing. One small example: Instead of the everyday room numbering, the Bernini hangs a lighted metal lantern outside the door […] with the number cut out (see photo). The location could not be better. Staff most friendly and helpful. Good advice on restaurants. Excellent free wi-fi. A real desk. Good breakfast service in historic room. Meticulously cleaned and serviced. Read more

Florence was the highlight of my entire holiday and I went to many places in various regions. And the location and comfort of my hotel made it possible for that to happen. It is 10 mins away from the train station, 3 min walk to the Uffizi Gallery and 5mins to the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio the same. It is a walkable city but the location of the hotel […] helped too. And I give them 5 stars not just for the location but also for the great staff, friendly and helpful bartender and clean and comfortable rooms. The only thing I wished was better were the hair dryers. Since I was traveling through the country I wanted to travel light and hence did not bring my own. So if you are used to Turbo dryers then I would say bring your own. Having said that, one phone call to the receptionist and they sent someone with a salon size professional dryer and all was right with the world again. I would recommend it to one and all. Thank you Hotel Bernini for a memorable stay. Read more

The staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel is a close walk to many of Florence's top locations and the lobby, restaurant, and room are in beautiful classic decor. The hotel is in a great location. The room was ok sized, larger than many European rooms but not US sized. The bathroom was somewhat small. I would stay again, depending on price.

We stayed here for eleven nights for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. All of the hotel staff was kind and informative. Our room was very large, clean and well furnished. The hotel is in the center of Florence, so we were never too far from any of the major sites. The concierge arranged a wonderful day in Chianti for us that included a wine tour, […] cooking class and stops in a scenic towns along the way - it was excellent! Previous reviewers have mentioned the hotel being on a noisy street, and we found that it wasn't too bad - nothing out of the ordinary for us since we live in Manhattan. With that said, we couldn't be more pleased with our stay here, and will definitely be recommending this hotel to all of our friends and family! Read more

I booked this hotel based on other reviews here, and man, I was not sorry! Almost all the staff is English-speaking, and the service is superb. I was worried about being a little set apart from the town center, but when I arrived, I realized that I was actually in the middle of old town Florence (the town itself is very small and walkable). The hotel […] is steps from the Uffizi Gallery, the Piazza Della Signoria, and Palaccio Vecchio; a 3 minute walk to il Duomo and the fantastic San Lorenzo market; 5 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio; and a 10 minute walk from to Palacio Pitti and the Boboli Gardens. The room was gorgeous (marble everywhere), and the bed and linens luxurious. I will definitely stay here again! Read more
