General thought it was decent. I recall a modern bathroom in the photos but my room had a much older style. Staff was great. Breakfast was so-so; I would recommend better/fresh pastries.

They tell you when you head to Italy, bring your walking shoes and be ready to climb a lot of stairs. Well, staying at the Torre Guelfa we were in for a treat as the hotel has its own private bell tower that once you make your way up the top gives the best panoramic view of Florence.
The charming hotel was comfortable and offered a wonderful buffet breakfast. Be sure to verify what the view is for your room because it is a historic building - but that might add to the charm of your visit.
It is in walking distance to many of the major attractions while on a quieter street.
We visited over the winter holidays and our trip was all the more wonderful because we stayed here in Florence.
