Oltrarno Splendid0

Location superb, breakfast lovely with a nice range of foods, all staff were helpful & friendly. Our room had great views in 3 directions of the rooftops of Florence. We loved the design, decor & decoration of the rooms. It was a little quirky but very stylish at the same time with a huge chandelier & claw foot bath in our bedroom. We also had a seperate & very stylish bathroom. Our bed was very comfortable. Wifi was good.

Our phones weren’t working & because access to the hotel is through a locked gate, we had to wait 15 mins for another guest to leave the hotel before we to get in to checkin.

We loved everything about Oltrarno Splendid. It's situated in the quieter, less touristy and arguably 'cooler' neighbourhood of Florence over the river and we much preferred this area to the more touristy Duomo side. The hotel is beautiful, with very artsy vintage decor. The room was huge, quiet, and simply stunning. The continental breakfast was nice and we were able to bring family into the reception/cafe area for a drink which was much appreciated. The staff on the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, even phoning a restaurant for us to book dinner.

The breakfast could have been slightly better and we were not offered a coffee.

Fabulous location in Oltrarno. Just a few minutes walk to the brilliant Piazza Santo Spirito with its morning market, bars, restaurants and spectacular church. Also very quick walk to Piazza del Carmine and, if you head south, for a walk into the fields around Bellosguardo. The centre of Florence is an even shorter stroll over the river. I also liked the fact the property has a limited number of rooms, the style of the place, the comfortable bed, the warm service...and the bath in the room...with proper hot water, which is rarer in Florence hotels than you may imagine!! Just a fantastic place to stay.

Nothing...

We loved Oltarno Splendid. Every detail from the cold welcome drinks in our room upon arrival in such heat, to the quaint breakfast and lovely staff. We were only here for one night but it was superb! I loved how each room was unique. The hotel is a feast for the eyes - with amazing artwork, furnishings, and interior details. While other boutique hotels opt for modern minimalism, Oltarno swings the other way and makes you feel like you are staying in a carefully curated Italian bohemian palace. BOOK THIS PLACE NOW.

Nothing. It was fabulous all around!

We had a wonderful stay at Oltrarno. Our room was beautiful, clean and with everything you need from a hotel - kettle, coffee maker, mini fridge. Breakfast was delicious with a selection of cake, pastry, cheese, cured meats. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our short break in Florence. The location is also great with a choice of places to eat nearby. If we are lucky enough to return we would definitely book again. The staff were friendly and helpful making us feel very welcome.

We loved everything about it.

The room was absolutely beautiful and the hotel was a peaceful retreat from town. The location being on the other side of the river, gave us a chance to discover so much more in Florence! Every detail of creativity and hospitality was wonderful. We loved Oltrarno Splendid and would highly recommend.

We personally enjoyed everything. Some people however, should be aware of the number of steps up to the rooms. There is a lift for those who prefer less steps, and the hosts ate very helpful.

Location was perfect! Just a few steps from the Arno river, walk across the bridge and you're close to the Uffizi, Duomo. Academia Galleria (the David), downtown Florence - an incredibly walkable and romantic city. Hotel staff was so helpful and accommodating, even booking us tickets to see sights and reservations for their fav restaurants. We are so grateful. Also, rooms mix old-world charm with antiques and modern decor, incorporating colorful, fun art. Would totally stay here again!

The hotel is lovely and the staff couldn't be more welcoming and friendly. It was a great stay. They help us with restaurant bookings, and recommendations and they were available for any questions. The location is great too. If we go back to Florence we will stay here again. The attention to detail, from the smells and decoration was very thoughtful.

I think the pictures don't do justice to the hotel. The rooms and social areas are lovely but the pictures might make it look a bit dated which is not.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly offering advice on things to do and places to go. Exceptional design touches throughout the hotel made it really memorable; honesty bar also a nice touch. Location was great on the less touristy side of the river with lots of great restaurants and bars in the vicinity.

Only thing to note is that if you have a room facing the street, it will be noisy. Road is fairly busy and being a period property it obviously doesn't have modern soundproofing, double-glazed windows. Just something to note, if you're a light sleeper a pair of earplugs will serve you well.

The service from the concierges Leonardo, Alberto ans Davide was first class. They had excellent knowledge of unique/local experiences. They all went above and beyond to help us with reservations, taxis and just generally lovely to talk to. I spoke about the service first because it really made our stay in Florence. The room was super large and beautifully decorated, as an architect/artist the entire hotel was really inspiring to stay in. The location is super close to the central action but away from tourist heavy zones which was exactly what we wanted. The area is more authentically local but clearly the cool Kid part of town which we loved. Great food, shopping and drink options nearby. Like literally on the same block.
