Hotel Ottantotto Firenze, Florence

“An elegant, unfussy hotel for people who want to see the cooler side of Florence.This renovated historic ‘palazzetto’ in the less-touristed Oltrarno neighborhood has just seven rooms, each decorated with different floral and botanical printed fabrics, antique decor, and funky-cool furniture.”

Our favorite place - we wish we were staying longer!
Absolutely delightful experience. Room was clean and very comfortable, excellent bathroom facilities, and charming breakfast area with a lovely hostess. Our favorite was the little outdoor seating area with garden - so relaxing to start the day sipping coffee and eating delicious cheeses and croissants and prosciutto.

Beautiful boutique hotel near all the major sites just over the bridge, would stay again just request a larger room
We had a room on the 3rd floor , which restored beautifully. Breakfast every morning was fabulous staff were lovely
Our room was very small hard to walk around the bed to get to bathroom especially at night .. limited space for luggage The lights kept turning on in the middle of the night which was a bit startling at first … got used it after a hit and just got up and turned them off

Ottantotto Hotel is a beautiful property, from the courtyard to the well thought out rooms. Staff were attentive and very helpful, making us feel very welcome. The breakfast was great and room was comfortable, well thought out with attention to detail of the old property. We will be back, grazie Ottantotto!

Beautifully decorated, great location and amazing experience!
The interior design is immaculate, every little detail is so cute and fun to discover during your stay. I stayed with my daughter, and we both loved the experience and would recommend and return.
We loved everything. There isn't a negative comment about this quaint and beautiful hotel.

Beautiful hotel!
Great location for exploring Florence! Nice rooms in a small boutique hotel, and the garden is a beautiful place to sit and have breakfast in the morning.

A lovely quiet hotel for a break away from the crowds
Lovely stylish setting in the quieter Oltrarno neighbourhood. Bed was very comfortable. The garden at the back is lovely.
Would be good if there was someone there to greet you on arrival! But they were very helpful over the phone.

Fantastic stay!
The accommodation is amazing. The small hotel is set in an old building, but has been beautifully updated with modern appliances while still maintaining the beauty of the original building. A delicious breakfast is prepared fresh each morning and can be eaten inside or else outside in the quaint little garden out the back of the hotel. The location is in a quieter part of the city, but is just around the corner from Pitti Palace and about a 15 minute walk to the Duomo. There are lots of restaurants nearby and we got some great recommendations from the staff at reception.
The rooms are on the smaller side which can be an issue if you have a lot of luggage. Also the reception is only staffed for a few hours each day, but it is easy enough to figure things out yourself with their instructions.

Great local neighbourhood to stay in within an easy walk to all tourist sites
Great location. Quiet, secluded garden at the back of property. Delicious breakfast. Very friendly staff.
Room was on the small side and on ground floor next to street. Quiet with windows shut but if you opened windows then it was noisy

A unique, quiet hotel ideal for travelers looking for a peaceful retreat.
One of my favorite places to stay in Italy. The room is clean and comfortable and I really enjoyed the peaceful breakfast. The staff is very friendly and helped us get an early taxi. Everything about this hotel is great. Thank you to the staff for making our stay in Florence a great one. We hope to visit again soon.

Fabolous stay for our honeymoon!
Great location, boutique style hotel, breakfast is great and amazing courtyard. Helpful staff, smells unreal! Clean.
It would be helpful if reception was around until 5pm or if they answered the phone when not around

Ottantotto has done it again! Our second stay was just as wonderful as our first. A gem in the Oltarno (Other side of the Arno) the location is perfect. An attentive staff scheduled taxi rides back to the Stazione and provided a beautiful experience. The colazione is unbelievable, a curated selection of meats, breads, and juice is the highlight for my wife. This is our only choice when in Firenze, we will be back soon hungry for more.

We loved our stay and can't wait to come back some day soon
We loved the decor of the hotel. The staff were very helpful and we loved the bottle of sparkling wine in the room for my husband's birthday! It was a lovely touch. The staff also recommended a lovely restaurant for our evening meal. The room was very clean and comfortable. The chromotherapy shower was amazing! Being able to have breakfast in the courtyard garden was lovely.
The check in process outside of reception hours was a little difficult as our code didn't work and signal in the hotel wasn't great, but the staff were very patient and helpful and we got it sorted quickly.

A little Oasis
This hotel was like an oasis from hectic Florence. As soon as we stepped through the doors we felt calm. The location was good and staff very helpful. The breakfast was very nice. And for travellers with luggage, the lift was very appreciated
Although we knew we had booked a small room, it felt a little claustrophobic for two of us. Next time we will book a bigger room

Very good
Beautiful place, very stylish, lovely secluded courtyard. Fresh breakfast. Comfortable pillows! Great location in easy reach of all main sights.
Not much storage in the room. Self check in process strange - I expect a personal touch in a boutique hotel.

Cute small hotel with great location and breakfast in Florence
- clean and very nicely decorated hotel and rooms - easy self check in process at any time (we arrived at night, so it was very practical for us) - location is near to all tourist attractions, but not in the mid of them, in a more local and quiet area (which we prefer for sure) - great breakfast (with sweet and savory options) - attentive and friendly staff
- nothing

Would come back in a heartbeat. the charm of the overall hotel made me melt.
Exceptional design! We booked the Beaton suite for a family of four: two young children and one adults + one senior. the glass stairs were challenging on the first night as you need to climb upstairs for the only bathroom. However, the hotel and suite was oozing with Italian charm and modern aesthetics so we forgot about the stairs quickly.
The narrow stairs.

Stay was exceptional. Would recommend and definitely stay again.
Breakfast was more than adequate and staff very accomodating. The location was especially fine as the neighborhood was quiet, not at all touristy and we felt very safe walking at all times.
There was nothing we didn't like.

A truly beautiful and unique place
The location was nice because it was very close to attractions while being in a quieter neighbourhood. I can’t fault anything. At times it was a little noisy with other guests, but this is due to it being in an old house and noise will carry. Otherwise it was charming and an oasis in the middle of Florence. The breakfast was wonderful, the room truly unique and it was the best place to stay for my fist experience travelling solo. Thank you so much Ottantotto!! 🥹 I can’t wait to return to stay here, it fits all my aesthetic needs and it was the perfect find. Perfecto!

Would highly recommend :)
The rooms are gorgeous and the location is so nice. The bed was the comfiest of my trip so far and the atmosphere of the place in general is amazing!!
If you get the front room, it can be noisy with people coming in and out of the property as the door is a heavy (very safe) one - and street noise :)
