The property is hidden away in the streets of Florence. Not too far from the train station but about a 15 min walk to Florence centre. Staff, in particular Raphaella, were amazing, so friendly and helpful with giving recommendations and travel advice. The room was perfect, spotless clean and modern interior, it was our anniversary so they prepared a small surprise in the room with some Prosecco. It was a lovely stay and I would definitely come back!

The hosts were wonderful and the rooms were pristine. The room view was also amazing. This is a new property so still some adjustments to be made. Front desk is available until 9:00 pm. Somehow didn’t feel like a hotel.. more like a boarding. I was assured that the surroundings were safe but some guys hung around all day on the park benches opposite the building and were pretty loud, well into the evening. Good for a short term stay.

We had the most incredible stay at Essence Hotel in Florence! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by Rafaella at the front desk. She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, providing us with a map of the city and offering amazing recommendations for gelato and local food spots. Her suggestions really helped us make the most of our time in Florence! The hotel itself is a gem. The facilities are modern, new, and absolutely immaculate. Every corner of the hotel feels fresh and well-kept. Our room was spotless and had all the comforts we needed after long days of exploring. Location-wise, you can’t ask for better. The hotel is within walking distance of many of Florence’s main attractions, which made it so convenient for sightseeing. We were able to walk to the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, and many other historic landmarks in just minutes. I highly recommend Essence Hotel. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Florence!

Anbefales!
Helt nyoppstartet hotell med få rom i 3.etasje i en boligblokk veldig sentralt i gamlebyen. Rolig område med park rett utenfor, lite støy. Superhyggelig betjening, som er opptatt av å hjelpe deg å finne frem i byen. Kommer til å dra hit igjen! Rent og pent! Nydelig og stort bad!

Bra läge, mer känslan av lägenhet i ett fint hus, inte hotellkänsla. Gullig värdinna som vill väl. Skitjobbiga lakan. Superfint utanför. Parkering svindyr (271 euro för sex nätter), tog extra betalt för cyklar vi hade med. Men jättetrevliga människor och bra service i garagen också. Ingen frukost på hotellet men en fin frukostbar tvärs över torget. Kostnaden för boendet steg därmed väsentligt. Juste men lite opersonligt och trista extrakostnader gjorde boendet dyrt.
