Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Bernini Palace enjoys an amazing location right off the main square and near the Uffizi Gallery, making it perfect for exploring Florence. Guests often highlight the wonderful breakfast, served in a magnificent hall, though some have found the fresh fruit selection limited. You'll find the rooms spacious and comfortable, equipped with individual AC, allowing for a pleasant stay with quiet, soundproofed windows, but some guests have noted that the basic rooms can feel small.

The staff was really good, helpful, and polite. They really went out on a limb for us. the location is amazing. Everything is so close. breakfast was delicious. I loved the pastries. our classic room was gorgeous and roomy, though a bit deep in so we had to climb many staircases.
