Suffice it to say, Florence offers the traveler a bewildering array of accommodations, with this hotel, the Silla, being a standout for combining convenience of location, fine, personalized service, along with a very fair rate. The Silla overlooks the River Arno, about a 10-minute walk to the magnificent Santa Croce church. My wife and I enjoyed a fine city view... more

My friend and I stayed at hotel Silla in July and really felt that it was a great value for Florence. We got an online rate of 90 euros for a double room. We liked the Otrarno area, great restaurants and not too far to walk to popular tourist sites. The rooms were clean and had the hotel staff were... more

The location is wonderful. The setting is lovely. While there were 2 small very busy bars with outside seating on the same street that looked great for young adults, there was no noise in the room at all.

It may be on the other side of the river and slightly away from the centre but it will satisfy all your needs. The hotel itself can be reached from the train station by bus as walking with bags is... more

My wife and I were honeymooning in Italy and Austria for two weeks. All of our hotels were between $140 and $200 per night. Of all the hotels we stayed at, this is the one hotel that I would not recommend. In general, I am not a complainer. All I am looking for in a hotel is a clean place... more

We didn't arrive at our hotel in Florence until about 1 in the morning. They were great at the front desk given the hour. Our room (for 3 people) was big enough to accommodate us comfortably. Their breakfast was great and the terrace garden was very nice for breakfast and even through-out the day and evening. The location of the... more

All the good things you see on other reviews are correct. This is not 4/5 star but more than adequate for those visiting Florence. more
