Stayed 7 days. Location not too picturesque as it is across from train station, however, central to absolutely everything!. Bring your walking shoes. Decor is beautiful with a great old world flavor. Had a large, outside room on 3rd floor with a King size bed. Some street noise but not enough to bother with. The inside rooms might be quieter but we saw them and they were really small and cramped. A little wear around edges of bathroom but immaculately clean. Free buffet breakfast delicious (especially the coffee) with excellent variety. Views from rooftop garden excellent photo op. My only complaint was the wash cloths---there were none to be had. Perhaps this is cultural but I for one like to wash my face.

On check-in, the staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I stayed seven nights so the person at check-in gave us a free room upgrade. The room was extremely large even compared to US standards. The room had a 20 ft ornate wooden ceiling and a wooden parquet floor. It was wonderful. Free breakfast on the top floor restaurant was great - both for the food and the view of the city!
This hotel had a great location being next to the train station and in the heart of the old city. We could walk to all the major city sites in just minutes. Plus, there are many fine restaurants within a minute walk from the hotel. Just a few steps from the hotel is an underground walkway to the train station which is nice since you can take day trips out of Florence to Pisa, Venice or any one of the many great Tuscan hill villages. Plus, it has a bus stop just outside the front door, too.
20 Euro cab ride from the airport to hotel but you can take a bus from the airport. My advice is to spring for the cab. It?s much faster.
When I return to Florence, I will stay here again. It was wonderful. The architecture and art of this hotel matched the famed architecture and art of Florence.
Better than the Westin Excelsior, and free breakfast!!!

Through the travel website, I had to find a Hotel in Florence quickly to visit my ailing son studying in Florence. The Baglioni's location, beautiful, comfortable room with modern bath and minibar and complementary full breakfast in their top floor dining room overlooking all of Florence was a real bargain and treat. This past week I stayed at the very pricey Westin Excelsior which I had booked leisurely in January and found it very inferior to the Baglioni. Their complete breakfast (inferior to the Baglioni's and served in a dark,cavernous room) cost 39 Euro. The room was smaller, had no "Heavenly Bed", and had inferior housekeeping. The Baglioni was only 2 blocks away...wished I'd stayed there again.
Excellent Service and Great Location

This was our favorite hotel during our stay in Italy. The location is great - a short walk to the train station and to many of the museums and historical attractions. The hotel staff was very helpful and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was very good and the dinner in the restaurant was also good. OUr room was quite large and very well furnished. We had a few questions before our trip and the hotel was very prompt with e-mail responses to our questions. We will definitely stay here agian.
