Excellent location just 5 mins walk to tram station. The hotel is very high tech with proximity card sensor very clean and looks modern. The staff was excellent throughout our stay and went above and beyond to assist us on everything from breakfast help, injury assistance and even as a guide to the city. The aircon is very cold.

Great stay !!!
Super friendly staff, efficient check in. Nice first floor room overlooking the garden (yes they do have one!) Quiet and effective aircon and 15 mins walk from the airport tram route €1.70 per person quick easy and clean. Appx 20 mins walk from the Duomo etc and several bars, restaurants and small shops nearby. Great hot & cold breakfast selection included in room rate which was a v pleasant surprise. Note you will be charged a tourist tax per night …on departure but that’s required by the City of Florence.

Very Average
Average hotel with above average seasonal rates. Staff was excellent hotel room very average with an overhead shower that did not work and was not fixed for 2 days. Breakfast was very average. For this season and thus level of hotel the rates were way too high. I did appreciate the staff though courteous and ready to help.

The hotel was lovely and the staff was very helpful and kind. Irena was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early, it was a treat! The room was clean, roomy, well laid out, and comfortable. Stairs inside the door and leading down to the rest of the room, the bathroom was large and the shower actually a full size.
There was some construction around the outside of the hotel, when we walked up, we were a bit concerned about the noise, but we were not disturbed by it.
Great location, clean updated hotel, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I had an excellent stay at Hotel Ariele. The location is fantastic — within walking distance to all the main attractions and the train station, which made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The room, while on the smaller side, was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated.
The breakfast buffet was a standout — great variety and quality to start the day off right. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout my stay, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere.
There were a couple of minor drawbacks: the room didn’t have a shelf in the shower, which meant having to keep toiletries on the floor — a small inconvenience. Also, the doors tend to slam shut, so if a neighboring guest returns late at night, it can be loud enough to wake you up.
Despite those few issues, I would definitely recommend Hotel Ariele for its charm, great service, and unbeatable location.
