Il Tornabuoni, Florence

“This super-smart newcomer has a fabulous location rubbing shoulders with the designer stores on Florence’s most elegant street as well as being close to all the main sights. And at the end of a tiring day, you can sip a spritz at the rooftop lounge bar.”

“This smart, stylish hotel enjoys a prime spot on traffic-free Via Tornabuoni and is close to all the main sights and plenty of interesting bars, restaurants and cafés. The USP is the roof terrace with lounge bar and magnificent wraparound views.”

Location was good - close to most museums and sights. Michael was the most friendly concierge we have ever met- a great asset to the hotel!
If you are a light sleeper think twice about booking this hotel. Every night , until at least 11.30 p.m., there are musicians/singers performing right outside the hotel. Not the hotels fault but it was rather annoying considering we paid for a premium room. Soundproofing isn't very good at this property. When checking out, we were advised there would be a charge for drinking 3 cans of water from the mini-bar. Thought this was petty when we paid over 500 euros per night for the room and I also noticed they were giving the same cans to others free of charge at reception, Fortunately the charge was waived after a few kind words. Rooftop bar view is average and with overpriced cocktails.

Though rooms were stylish the hotel itself was disappointing.
I liked the style of the rooms, the cafe and bar staff were friendly, the doorman was unfailingly friendly and helpful, the rooms were very clean.We liked the Hemp products provided, you could really manage had you forgotten to pack a sponge bag of your own. The stair case was stylish. The bar staff were helpful.
The welcome was very poor with a crowded hallway letting down the luxury of the rooms and a perfunctory welcome. Rooms were not ready when promised and one room not ready till 4pm, and even then desk staff did not bother to ring through and let us know. Our luggage was left in the hall of the hotel accessible to anyone. The suite was not much better than the double rooms so not worth the extra cost. The cafe was sweet but tiny, the roof terrace bar had some seating but the bar looked un finished and messy and no one was serving drinks and the perimeter railings were not safe, they moved if you lent on them. The bedrooms, while Stylish and super clean with comfortable beds had impractical design features, no suitable bedside lights for reading in bed, in the bathroom the height of the shelves meant you couldn’t use the pump action soap provided, there were no shelves for our own make up bags, the towel rails were positioned so you hit your head above the facilities, so while everything looked good the designers hadn’t given enough thought to how guests would use the spaces. There were no good reception rooms the main hotel was a narrow corridor usually busy with and made even busier with suitcases. The lifts were tiny. While the hotel was ok it was not as good as other 5* hotels in Florence. It felt like we were renting rooms from a disorganised office in a busy thoroughfare rather than entering a welcoming 5 star hotel.

Absolutely Amazing Hotel!
I absolutely loved the location, the staff were amazing and so helpful and friendly, always willing to help. The rooms were so uniquely designed and so neat and modern. The cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms were absolutely amazing. I loved that this hotel was so close to everything in walking distances to the best restaurants, cafes, and the luxury stores for shopping. One of my favourite unique hotels i have stayed in.

The hotel was an absolute highlight of our trip to Italy - the perfect place to stay in Florence
A beautiful hotel in a central location. Staff were delightful and our room was spectacular. We were disappointed to be only spending one night there!

The Hotel was Great!
Some details in the room description on Booking were not matching the actual room (this about the balcony). and the hotel was confirming that they informed Booking but it was not reflected on the website

Perfect.
Immaculate. The location is perfect, everything is walkable. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the service and attention to detail in the hotel from all of the staff was excellent.
Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Cannot recommend this enough. It was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
We loved EVERYTHING about this hotel. The rooms were unbelievably comfortable and beautiful, the staff at the door, front desk, house keeping and rooftop bar made us feel welcome, comfortable and at home. Everyone went above and beyond for us.
Absolutely nothing. We will definitely be back here in the future. A++ all around.

Nothing could have been better. The service was amazing. Our room was very large, clean and had a view of the street. The singing in the square in the evenings was nothing short of professional and sensational which just added to our Italian vacation. Won't ever look to stay anywhere else in Milan.

UnBounded by Greed. Avoid this Hotel
The Unbounded is in a building that also has other tenants. Our "first" room had constant construction noise-the drilling in concrete was loud enough to disturb us so we requested another room. Our "second" room had a sewer smell to it. So we requested another room. This time we got their "junior suite" which I would call the Deluxe King Room that was booked by Bookings as there was no "second" space to call it a suite. (This hotel has a problem with their descriptions as our room was suppose to have a balcony. It didn't. Their ONLY room with a balcony was their suite.) For the move arounds of the rooms, they comped us breakfast reminiscent of other Hyatt's in the States.
It costs us over $1000 Euros/night. In our month's travel, this was the most expensive with the least value for the money. Maybe, if I knew what to expect, I would have paid $400, but it is not what it seems!! This is as close to a scam as a hotel can get. Their descriptions are wrong!

Our 4-day trip to Florence was wonderful and very enjoyable because of the hotel location
The location was the best - within walking distance to the main sites and the shopping district.
The room could be a little bigger.

A wonderful stay in a very beautiful city.
Very lovely hotel with good breakfast and good location.
We were in a room that had stairs, the stairs made the room a little squashy and there was not enough natural light.

Great Location
The location of the hotel was excellent and staff very helpful. Room was quite spacious.
We were disappointed with the room in terms of location. We had room 310 which was next to the stairs and lifts and was very noisy. Often woken up late at night and early in the morning with cleaning staff and residents. Restaurant was not open when we were there.

Super friendly staff, which makes for a large percentage of my perception of a hotel. When the staff is willing to help, that is most of the hotel experience in my opinion.

the hotel had wonderful staff, immediately you are charmed - and the rooms are stunning, fresh and newly decorated, beau
the location was exceptional, the bedrooms beautiful and comfortable
don’t get a room at the back of the hotel, it is on a service entrance and the staff leaving, the deliveries can be heard very loudly

I recommend saving the hotel's Hyatt press page. The breakfast is cheaper and the price of the room
location
I am not satisfied with the reservation of the hotel through Booking. They charged us more money for breakfast and the price of the room was more expensive. It is more and more expensive to pay through booking. I will now contact the hotel directly.
