Hotel Calimala

Exceptional

Beautiful rooms, top tier service...

Liked: - Location, location, location! This hotel makes almost all of center Florence walkable, it is an ideal location to walk anywhere you’d like and that is above all else the best thing about the hotel. - All of the staff was very helpful and friendly, from check in all the way to check out, to include the front desk and waitresses that served breakfast. - It has free WiFi which was very reliable.- Strong air conditioning for the summer heat- Beautiful, eclectic rooms with exposed brick and the ability to completely close the windows to incoming light, which helped me sleep immensely. Huge shower as well!- This hotel actually has two locations right around the corner from each other, and each location has a restaurant. This comes in handy during long days of touring, and there is a discount for guests who are staying at the hotel. The dinner at Angel Rooftop was just okay, but the view and atmosphere were amazing. On the reverse, the food at Meze was A+, though expensive tapas, but not a rooftop so no views.- The breakfast at Angel Rooftop was amazing! Highly recommend.- Would definitely stay here again.
Disliked: This isn’t a negative, more of a PSA. The Angel Rooftop bar is open to the public, so sometimes there is a long wait for the elevators once the restaurant opens at 5 PM. Be careful with that!

A wonderful stay in a...

Liked: The hotel had a very modern room design and a newly renovated bathroom. The location was perfect since the hotel is situated in the heart of Florence city center. The view from the rooftop was stunning.
Disliked: The only small disadvantage is the noise of the streets which you hear in the room. If you have small children or are a sensitive sleeper, it might not be ideal.

fancy feeling hotel in great...

Liked: Beautiful hotel that felt really upscale. The location is very central and perfect for finding your way around. The rooftop area where breakfast was held was amazing, and i thought breakfast was really good. Scrambled eggs are basically what i look for in hotel breakfast, and they had that, but they also had little croissant sandwiches, bacon, fruits, all kinds of things. Room was extremely large and comfortable, with a cool view to some of the architecture outside. The hallway to my room had a little alcove, with an old Italian black and white movie being projected onto the wall (no sound, just subtitles) and i thought that was super cool. Staff were super helpful when i asked questions, and also helped me get a 4am cab to the airport no problem, which i was very grateful for.
Disliked: Internet was not working for a lot of my stay, which was a huge problem for me, but also a big problem for the staff. There are some really good coffee shops not far away to walk to for wifi though. Keep in mind this hotel is right in tourist central, so there is noise, and a bajillion people outside. I live in a city so i am very comfortable with noise at night, but if you aren't used to that it could be a problem.

Liked: Excellent location, spacious rooms, very clean. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Very good

Liked: Spacious rooms, great views, spectacular terrace
Disliked: Everything was perfect, but I didn't love that sheets were used to cover the duvet instead of a duvet cover. With some tossing and turning during the night it became unwrapped and... well, yuck... Either way, I would stay there again. the location is perfect, and the terrace for Angel has spectacular views.
