Oltrarno Splendid, Florence

Fabulous place to stay. Everything walking distance but away from the crowds on a quiet street on the other side of the river Arno. Staff so kind and friendly in particular Alberto who very kindly gave us a bottle of fizz on arrival after telling him we got married in Florence 20 years ago. Rooms clean and cosy and excellent shower in bathroom. Breakfast was lovely. Good selection of hams, cheese, pastries, yoghurts and cereals along with great coffee. I would definitely stay here again

We loved everything, from the amazing and unique room to the excellent location that was close to everything and the wonderful and kind staff who were there for us with any help or questions. We will definitely return to this hotel and highly recommend it.

Not such thing

Stylish interior, friendly staff, housing concept

Nothing!

Unique rooms tastefully decorated and restored. Movie channel on sky was an added bonus! Alberto and all the staff really welcome and friendly, Snacks and food available 24 hours .

Noise from the street - but to be expected in a city anyway, and it quietened down by 11 pm. But this would not stop us staying there again !

The provided breakfast was great. It had a good selection of sweet and savoury options and the coffee was also great.

Huge room, shower and bed. Very unique and interesting decor. Loved the bath in bedroom. Perfect location. Staff very friendly

Room facing road so quite noisy and no view

Location perfect, not right in the centre but just a couple of minutes walk away from the crowded city. Rooms gorgeous, staff exceptional, breakfast excellent! A hidden gem.

Only one criticism, the rooms ccould do with a some drawers for putting clothes etc away neatly. There was only a small hanging area for clothing.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The interiors are absolutely beautiful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The staff were amazing—friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. And the breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of tasty options to start the day right. Highly recommend!

We were quite close to the kitchen so in the morning we were woken up by the staff setting the breakfast tables at around 7am which was quite loud. But it didn’t bother us too much as it got us up nice and early to explore!

The staff were truly unbelievable. Alberto checked us in and was fantastic - truly 5* customer service. Rooms were clean and spacious. Breakfast was super and the bar with pastirss, water and coffee 24 hours per day was perfect.

Nothing. Generally exceptional stay for Florence. In an amazing location - much better than staying across the bridge as it was more quieter as Florence was extremely busy.

We couldn't be happier with our stay. Comfortable bed, great AC, fantastic location, warm and friendly staff.

Nothing really

Our second time staying at oltrarno splendid and it did not disappoint! We absolutely adore this hotel, from the friendly and kind staff to the uniqueness of the hotel and rooms, this is our favorite hotel we’ve stayed at! The location is awesome, close to city center but far enough away to enjoy a little more quiet. The breakfast is wonderful and the staff is so helpful and welcoming. Would come back again and again!

Incredibly friendly staff helpful and well-known in the community ( we got special treatment whenever we said we were staying at Oltrarno).

I guess not having direct street access might be annoying for American tourists but to me it was a proper European experience.

Staff was excellent-very accommodating and friendly. Lovely Italian breakfast and superb location. Loved the room decor and layout and amenities. A great boutique hotel. We received a welcome bag and staff helped with bookings and recommendations

Loved the friendly welcome from Alberto who also helped us with restaurant booking. The hotel is a cool, quiet and fragrant oasis in a very hot and busy city, ideally located too.

Nothing

We had a really lovely stay here! A historic building in a great part of the city. Alberto and Davide were the perfect hosts - warm, friendly and always happy to provide recommendations for bars and restaurants. Grazie mille - we will be back!

The room was like home - every small detail thought of.

If you are sensitive to sounds - the traffic/people sounds are quite a lot when asleep.

The rooms were very comfortable and very clean! Perfect location Alberto was so warm and helpful, gave us excellent suggestions for interesting places to see in Rome as well as Tuscany, Milan.. also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants. Highly recommend.

B&B is in a historical building and has an elevator/stairs for access. The services are prefect, from receptionists to breakfast and cleaning staff. They provided text book 5-star level services. Breakfast is good. Free sandwiches, pastries, fruits, tea and coffee 24 hours. Location is very good, walking distances to attractions and many good restaurants, coffee shops and even a Sunday market are in the neighborhood.

For the money charged, furnitures and decorations in the room could have been a better quality. There is no place to put toiletries. Rooms facing street could be noisy (drunk people, motocycles and ambulances). Light sleepers should choose rooms facing inner courtyard.

Unique small luxury hotel with inspired artistic decor. Large comfortable rooms with individual character combine to make a most pleasant and comfortable stay in Oltrarno. Not a traditional hotel as such, but that is the charm of this gorgeous property. Kind and friendly staff always willing to help make your stay memorable. Excellent location for exploring magnificent Florence.

Nothing.

Oltrarno S is a really lovely place to stay, peaceful and really helpful and friendly staff. Alberto was lovely, chatted about our likes and helped with bookings. We loved the design and feel of the place.

We loved staying here.

Quirky and fun decor and design. Large rooms with an excellent shower.

All was great

Fantastic location on the right side of Florence immersed between vintage stores. Hotel is beautifully designed and super-stylish. The staff exceptional. Bedroom was absolutely fabulous and beautifully furnished and the bathroom immaculate with Bigalow NYC products! Loved. Breakfast delicious. Will definitely be back!

Good location, helpful staff, lovely aesthetic

Location is fantastic in the less touristy bit of Florence. Rooms are large, clean all new furnishings. Staff incredibly friendly . Would definitely come back

Everything was beyond PERFECT! I spent my anniversary there for one night and it was memorable. The double shower was life changing. Fragrant products, immaculate cleanliness, comfortable mattress... The bathtub was the cherry on top! Alberto did everything to make us feel at home and we felt immediately at home. Would definitely go back and stay for longer! The decoration is possibly the coolest I've seen in a long time, every detail is remarkable.

beautiful place to stay, extremely friendly staff. Very helpful with finding nice trattoria. The breakfast is also very tasteful. We love the decoration of this old palazzo. The restauration is done with great care and eye for detail. We love to be back!!

Really beautiful hotel for a very reasonable price. The staff are exceptionally helpful – nothing is too much trouble. Also very secure with multiple coded gates. The room I had was beautiful – very spacious, beautiful bath and well decorated.

The road outside is a bit noisy so bring earplugs. The breakfast is just a cold buffet which is nice, but no cooked options.

This was a delightful boutique hotel that was like staying in an old Florentino villa. It was in a good walkable location to all the historic sites and the staff was extremely helpful with tips for restaurants and places to see. our room was charming and the bed was very comfortable and linens pressed and cleaned every day and all facilities very fresh and clean. We had both a double shower and a huge bathtub to enjoy in a large room. Enjoyed fresh crossaints, cappuccino and yogurt and granola every morning with pastries and fruit and tea and coffee available in the breakfast area throughout the day. The neighborhood was charming and can’t wait to go back!

Huge quirky well appointed room, kind service.

All good.

Love the The Splendid, second time we have stayed here and it is fabulous. Lovely, clean & so comfortable. Will be returning next year

Nothing

A beautiful hotel with excellent staff who were extremely helpful.

Nothing to dislike.

Loved the location - away from the hustle of the main center but just a short walk away from all the sights. Surrounded by great restaurants and gelato (important). The staff here are just amazing - so friendly and helpful. Its a stunning property and unique from any of our other stays in Italy. Every corner is filled with something interesting.

if you are travelling with kids, just be aware that there are stairs to and from some of the rooms. Luggage and stroller can go in a small lift. Not a problem, but something to note.

Enormous clean rooms. Friendly staff. Amazing location. Very safe!

Staying here was such a lovely experience! The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming & helpful, the decor is uniquely beautiful, the breakfast was just right. No noise during the night whatsoever & great location.

Wonderful helpful proprietors Coolest room ever!

Amazing staff amazing location and fabulous rooms but the best was the all day cakes/fruit and coffee/tea free for guests. Super soft towels extra comfy bed and we love the mix of modern furniture with the old.Very well run establishment they just get how to treat their guest right we would highly recommend. Definitely worth staying in Oltrarno Splendid it was perfection

Everything location/ staff/amenities/decor

Everything, our stay was perfect, especially Barbara and Alberto who were very helpful, recommending restaurants and booking meals for us

Nothing, it was amazing

Great location, great decor, spotless clean and the staff incredibly friendly! Absolutely loved our stay!

Loved everything

If you get a chance to interact with Barbara, you are blessed. She made our stay delightful from the friendly hello to every extraordinary effort on her part to make sure that we experienced all the beauty and history of Florence that anyone could take in over two days!

We loved everything about Oltrarno Splendid. It's situated in the quieter, less touristy and arguably 'cooler' neighbourhood of Florence over the river and we much preferred this area to the more touristy Duomo side. The hotel is beautiful, with very artsy vintage decor. The room was huge, quiet, and simply stunning. The continental breakfast was nice and we were able to bring family into the reception/cafe area for a drink which was much appreciated. The staff on the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, even phoning a restaurant for us to book dinner.

The breakfast could have been slightly better and we were not offered a coffee.

Great location! Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Couldn't fault the room, would definitely stay again !

My partner would have liked a mirror for the main room for getting ready, if she was being picky.

We loved Oltarno Splendid. Every detail from the cold welcome drinks in our room upon arrival in such heat, to the quaint breakfast and lovely staff. We were only here for one night but it was superb! I loved how each room was unique. The hotel is a feast for the eyes - with amazing artwork, furnishings, and interior details. While other boutique hotels opt for modern minimalism, Oltarno swings the other way and makes you feel like you are staying in a carefully curated Italian bohemian palace. BOOK THIS PLACE NOW.

Nothing. It was fabulous all around!

Excellent location. Easy walk into the main square. Quieter area than the busy tourist centre which was nice. Still lots of restaurants around. Alberto was a fabulous host who was happy to help book restaurants, cabs etc. Breakfast was traditional Italian and filling!

Nothing

Location superb, breakfast lovely with a nice range of foods, all staff were helpful & friendly. Our room had great views in 3 directions of the rooftops of Florence. We loved the design, decor & decoration of the rooms. It was a little quirky but very stylish at the same time with a huge chandelier & claw foot bath in our bedroom. We also had a seperate & very stylish bathroom. Our bed was very comfortable. Wifi was good.

Our phones weren’t working & because access to the hotel is through a locked gate, we had to wait 15 mins for another guest to leave the hotel before we to get in to checkin.

It's on the other side of the river, away from Florence's main touristy center. So, while it's a short walk every morning, it's a lovely quiet neighbourhood.

Rooms could have been a little brighter, but otherwise near perfect.

The room was absolutely beautiful and the hotel was a peaceful retreat from town. The location being on the other side of the river, gave us a chance to discover so much more in Florence! Every detail of creativity and hospitality was wonderful. We loved Oltrarno Splendid and would highly recommend.

We personally enjoyed everything. Some people however, should be aware of the number of steps up to the rooms. There is a lift for those who prefer less steps, and the hosts ate very helpful.

This hotel was one of a kind :) the vintage , antique vibe was everything! From the decor , to the welcoming staff this place is a must !

The breakfast was just okay .

The staff at Oltrarno could not have been nicer. And the hotel's location was great--just across the Arno and away from the crowds. The design of the rooms and public areas also was great. We can't wait to stay there again or at one of the company's sister hotels. This is a gem of a hotel in a beautiful city.

Great staff & a unique hotel

Accessibility is tricky. Up & down stairs

The service from the front desk was amazing, the hotel very cozy and full of beautiful details. Excelent location
