Beautiful building and breakfast
I really liked the location. I had a nice view of the water. Great cafe a block away. Close enough to everything without being in the middle of a noisy area. Very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was very good

5-star rating for the staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Convenient location, just a couple of minutes walk to the main attractions. Beautiful garden and closed paid parking. Great rooftop view. The hotel itself needs immediate renovation. The smell of mold in our room got me sick after two nights and to help the air conditioning system is so old that the room never got the temperature down. When we arrived at the room, room was not very clean and it had hairs from the previous guests in the bathroom and on the furniture at the feet of the bed. Mattresses are already losing consistency probably because they are too old. It is a family owned hotel and therefore I will be more lenient on these facts than I normally am and hopefully they will make me the necessary renovations for us to come back again.

Lovely and stylish
Lovely hotel with a stylish interior. Very cosy and clean. I loved the view on Arno river through the window in my room. If you would like to explore Florence in style I would recommend to stay in this hotel to taste the atmosphere of this city.

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Principe. We stayed for 3 nights and very much liked the property. The location is fantastic, close to everything yet stay off the busiest area. The nicest part of our stay is the staff! Warm and showed genuine care to all the guests. Definitely will be back.
