Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Martelli boasts a superb location, placing guests within a short walk of Santa Maria Novella train station and the Duomo. Many appreciate the traditionally decorated building, some finding the layout a bit of a maze initially. The breakfast is considered good, and some rooms offer delightful views, particularly from rooftop terraces overlooking the Duomo; however, a few guests have mentioned the beds could be more comfortable. guests find it a convenient base for exploring Florence.

I found some snacks at the reception. It reminded me of such a warm welcome. our room had a bottle of champagne, a sweet touch since it was our anniversary. the italian decor added a lovely vibe and a balcony was included. I was so glad! the location was also top notch. everything felt very central.

The breakfast felt quite basic. I opted for a meal elsewhere after seeing it. the hallways were a bit of a maze. It was difficult finding our room the first time.

The location was near the train station. This proved very convenient.

I found the room quite disappointing. It did not resemble the photos online at all. the bathroom was particularly problematic. It seemed outdated and had a very slow draining system. additionally, the toilet flushing mechanism barely worked, and the sound was quite loud each time i tried.

The location was a standout feature. It was close to the train station. The room was spacious. The breakfast included a good variety of pastries, eggs, and cereals. Coffee was made to order (I enjoyed it!).

The room lighting consisted of only a few dim lamps, and I would have preferred brighter, overhead lights.
