Grand Hotel Minerva for the win!
Grand Hotel Minerva is truly fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and their warmth and attentiveness were remarkable. They were especially kind to our daughter, doting on her and making her feel like a VIP—a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more special. The hotel itself is exceptional, with high standards of quality, comfort, and cleanliness evident throughout. Our room was impeccably maintained, offering a perfect retreat after long days exploring Florence. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, making it easy to walk to all the major sights and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Florence. We also loved the rooftop terrace with its stunning views and the serene pool, which offered a perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of the city. If you’re looking for a hotel that combines luxurious accommodations with outstanding service and a prime location, Grand Hotel Minerva is a perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

This place is one of the coolest locations in Europe, and right next to the train station and central shopping district. It’s a true luxury hotel in the classic European style. It’s delivers exactly what you expect and more when booking a hotel of this level.

This is an excellent hotel. I don’t understand why this is a 4 star hotel. It is better than most 5star hotels I have used. The room, restaurant, bar and staff were great. It is really convenient for all the attractions (most of which I could see from our window).

The location of this hotel is unbeatable, especially if you're traveling in/out by train since you can readily walk to the station. The property itself is fine and has definitely been upgraded more recently but it feels like a stretch to call the experience "superb" as is flagged in Expedia ratings logic.
