The ONLY hotel in Florence!!! ❤️
AMAZING!!! It’s a small boutique hotel with unbelievable staff that go above and beyond to make sure you have a perfect stay. This is the only hotel for me in Florence and the BEST minestrone soup is across the street.

Fantastic check-in for road weary travelers!
Check in was great. We arrived early to Florence from Venice and instead of citing check-in and arrival policy, the staff worked hard to get our room ready. They made us feel welcome, provided food and other amenities to make us comfortable. The staff is very friendly and courteous.

My stay at the glimpse hotel was perfect. The staff at the front greeted us immediately. I was able to take a train early from Bologna to get to Florence before check in time of 3 pm and arrived at around 11 am. Therefore they did not have my room ready, nor was I expecting them to. But the lady at the front desk was able to expedite the turnover and had us in within the hour. Thank you! The barista was also delightful by serving us a glass of water, tea and coffee immediately as we were waiting for the room. They have a small waiting area that also functioned as their cafe and breakfast area. The breakfast here is unparalleled. Everything is made to order and fresh. The selection is amazing. Anywhere from smoked salmon to freshly baked pies and cookies. They also can accomodate food allergies and do special requests for meals/substitutions. The place is clean, modern and well run. The room was spacious, the bed was sooo comfortable! And the pillows were full and firm. Unlike some hotels, this bed is actually a one mattress queen/king bed and not two beds pushed together. Large shower and plenty of storage space. There is also complementary water and treats. It is also steps away from major attractions and sites. There are even a couple of amazing restaurants right next door! Since the reception is 24hrs, we also were able to leave and satisfy our 3 am McDonald's munchies run which happens to be a 3 minute walk away! Can't recommend this place enough!

Absolutely amazing: brilliant hospitality!
I can honestly say that the service, welcome and friendliness was unequalled. The folks arranged that the cat was valet parked and returned when ended, we received a delightful welcome including a glass of Prosecco, and the room, breakfast and service were impeccable. Top notch!

Nice but a bit tight
The style of the hotel was really nice but the room we had was too small for two people with more than one suitcase. There was very little space to lay out our luggage, so we were jumping over our suitcases as we didn’t want to unpack since we were only staying one night. Also the single corner sink in the bathroom was crazy small with nowhere to put toiletries at all. A small shelving unit next to the sink would be sensible. The shower looked nice but was very narrow and tight. Not good for larger people. Breakfast was excellent! Location was very central and convenient Also, thr AC wasn’t cold enough for July heat. Having a car was tricky as Florence has restrictions to enter the city centre so one needs to discuss with hotel for options…

We had a wonderful Four- night stay at the Glimpse Hotel starting with the check in.  We were warmly, greeted and welcomed by Alina at the front desk.  She took her time to explain all the hotel's amenities and important information. Also, the staff greeted us every time we exited and entered the hotel. That made us feel welcome. I also, want to give a special note of gratitude to the staff working in the breakfast dining area. They provided excellent service with a smile. This hotel makes the breakfast to order, which is great and they have something for everyone's taste. Finally, a special thank you to the ladies doing house keeping, they did an impeccable job with the upkeep of the room. They are very efficient and pay a lot of attention to detail. Even though this job is not easy, they still manage to keep a smile on her face at all times. The room was a good size, the bathroom was big with plenty of space for storing all your personal toiletries. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciate the extra memory foam topper. It made the mattress extra comfortable. All in all, we had an excellent stay at The Glimpse hotel. Keep up the great customer service and hospitality!

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful hotel in April. It’s an elegant, clean, and stylish boutique hotel with very friendly, welcoming, and dedicated staff. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I had an amazing stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly with a welcoming drink, and our room was ready even before check-in time so we could refresh and start exploring Florence right away. The location in the heart of the city is perfect, with sights and restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast at the hotel was huge and delicious, with a variety of fresh, healthy, tasty food -- served with love. We will definitely stay at Glimplse the next time we are in Florence. We highly recommend this great hotel! Thanks to everyone at Glimpse, and a special shout-out to Martin, who welcomed and accommodated us with professionalism and warmth. We love Florence and, as you can tell, really enjoyed this hotel.
