"This old-fashioned pensione in a 1507 palazzo just off the river charges little for its simple comfort and kind hospitality. The rooms differ greatly in size and style."

"Located on the second and third floors of a 16th-century building, this central hotel, with its vaulted ceilings, retains an aura of grandeur."
Rough Guide
"An unpretentious and very good two-star with 27 rooms [nearly all with bathroom] occupying a sixteenth-century palazzo and furnished in a mixture of antique and modern styles."
Fodor's

"A great location on a pedestrian-only street a short walk from... the Uffizi Gallery. A friendly staff and helpful concierge contribute to the warm atmosphere."

Michelin Guide
"This hotel has been built up around a medieval tower. There is a fine view of the Ponte Vecchio from the flower-fi lled terrace and from some of the attractively furnished rooms."
Concierge
"The real calling cards of the Continentale are its impeccable service, neither overfamiliar nor overformal, and its panoramic rooftop chill-out terrace."
DK Eyewitness
"This trendy, contemporary hotel is designed to impress. The entrance lobby features installations by the leading Italian artist, Fabrizio Corneli."
Condé Nast Traveler
"This hotel’s couldn’t-be-better location in the heart of Florence means that its rooftop bar has incomparable 360-degree views of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo... and the Ponte Vecchio."

Star Service
"Although the facilities here are fun and fashionable, standards and service are not always fairly reflected in the rack rates. Still, discounted packages appeal to flush hipsters."
