We stayed in this hotel for a week end and enjoyed our stay! We would recommend to a friend staying in Florence ! More

Like a few others we read the reviews AFTER we'd booked this place and were a little worried. However, we've just come back after a week at the Hotel Il Duca and can say without any hestiation we'd stay there again. Its a family ran hotel, located right on the edge of the pedestrianised area of the old part of... More

I read some of these other reviews before my trip to Florence and if I hadn't booked the room beforehand I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel, and that would have been a mistake. I found Il Duca a quite nice, peaceful and clean, well-run hotel. The staff members weren't overflowingly cordial, but friendly and helpful enough for my taste.... More

Location? Perfect! No more than 500 meters from Duomo and the very pleasant (and cheap) Zio Gigi restaurant. Rooms? Reformed, clean, a/c working very well, free wi-fi and cable TV. Breakfast? Ok for a small "albergo", but starts at 08:00, so late in my opinion. Staff? That´s the big problem... the hotel is a family house, so they make the... More

In its favour, this hotel has a convenient location for access to the major attractions of the area. It’s not in an appealing road but the interior is tastefully decorated and looks clean. Fittings appear modern and the beds were comfortable. Despite the efforts made on the building however, the owners do not appear to like visitors and have little... More

Overall I would have to say that the hotel was reasonably priced, good location (very close to the Duomo and David), basic breakfast.....however....as the hotel is family run, one of their daughters was often on reception. She was rude, unhelpful and said she was 'too busy' to help us with the room's... More

We arrived at Il Duca around 11am, dropped our bags off and were told to come back at 3pm for check in. After walking around in the heat we were looking forward to resting in the air conditioned room. We arrive around 3pm and were told to wait while our room was being made up. this took half an hour.... More

We arrived at this hotel our agent had booked for us...The management was an old gentelman who was watching TV and could not speak any English, and didnt really care if we were there or not...he gave us a key to our room without a word... we dragged our suitcases 2 flights of stairs (no lift) and found a very...

This hotel has pros and cons. It's located a 7-minute walk from the Duomo in a narrow side street with dumpsters and graffiti; motorbikes and cars race down the street till all hours. Our room was nicely decorated, spacious, clean and comfortable. We had a leaky toilet that was annoying but once we mentioned it, it was fixed. The staff... More
