“Hotel Donatello impresses with its central location near Florence's key attractions and its traditionally decorated rooms, some featuring delightful frescoed ceilings; the courtyard offers a serene setting for breakfast. While some find aspects a bit worn, I think the friendly staff and the overall historic ambiance contribute to a uniquely Florentine experience.”

FABULOUS stay!
friendly staffeasy walkclean roomtoilet paper
I walked easily from the train station. It took only 15 minutes! The staff was AMAZING. They let me check in early, so helpful after my journey. My room was super clean and the A/C worked perfectly, keeping me cool and comfortable .
The only issue I encountered was the LACK of TOILET paper in the public restroom near reception. It was inconvenient after checking out.
