This is a charming and central hotel that is such a gem of a find. It's comfortable and all you would hope for. Great location near the Arno and within easy walking distance of the city center. The area is clean and quiet and away from the business of the city attractions and so is peaceful. The rooms are beautifully decorated and are an excellent size, especially compared to other hotels in this area. The bathrooms in particular are particularly large. A small, close knit team yet extremely knowledgeable and helpful in accommodating their guests; whether it be directions, taxis or restaurant recommendations to name a few. The staff are always polite and friendly and they work very hard to meet everyone's needs. This hotel is a lovely experience, offering beautiful views from the hotel balcony. Not only this, but this hotel also provides a computer with free internet access for its guests.
Great Hotel The River in Florence is a real find and probably was one of the best hotels that we stayed at on our trip. It is located across the street from the Arno in the San Croce area. Our daughter and I liked the location because this area of Florence was very clean and was away from the main hubbub of the city. There is a bus stop very close to the hotel. We arrived by train and took the number 13 to the hotel and the number 12 took us back to the train station. The staff is very accommodating and the reception area and breakfast area were very nice. The hotel also offerred free internet access.

Fabulous service, great location We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel River. The cheerful, personal touch and helpfulness of the staff (particularly Salvatore the concierge who gave great tips re restaurants) made our stay an absolute pleasure. The view of the river Arno from our terrace was beautiful and the location was just right - a short walk from the centre but far enough away from the attractions so as to be quiet.The room was quite small but comfortable and clean and had a nice bathroom and a great shower.There was free internet access in the hotel lobby.We would highly recommend the Hotel River and would definitely stay there again next time we visit Florence.

Nice and quiet Incredible little hotel away from the noise of Florence, but walking distance of only 10 minutes to city center. Great sized rooms and beautifully decorated. Very clean with decently sized bathrooms for Europe. Beds were very hard. Breakfast served beautifully and elegantly with many choices, based on basic Italian breakfast of pastries, cold cuts, cheese, hard boiled eggs (with cute little cups and spoons), fruit and real coffee! Very small staff works hard to meet every need. Great place to have a drink before dinner in the lobby or on the rooftop balcony with view of the Arno.

Lovely hotel with pretty view of the river We stayed in this central hotel after changing from a dismal, allegedly three-star hotel. The room was pretty and clean, with a nice view of inner courtyard. Staff were friendly and very helpful, and we were close to all the main sights. The hotel balcony was lovely to sit around and watch the world go by and see the river below. I would recommend this as a good value, better than 3-star hotel and would visit again.

Small but perfectly formed A charming clean and comfortable hotel. Polite and helpful staff.A short walk (or inexpensive bus ride) to the historic attractions.The knowledgeable manager will tell you which buses go where as well as sell you the tickets. He also directed us to the shop selling the gorgeous room fragrance that was in our room.Standard breakfast in an enclosed terrace or in the elegant lower breakfast room. My only crticiscm is of the coffee, because I just prefer a pot at the table.

Nice hotel - great location Nice hotel in a great location on the Arno River. Rooms were large; bathroom was large compared to other places we stayed in Italy, and the A/C really worked! The staff was helpful and accomodating with maps, directions, restaurant recommendations, taxis, and laundry service. There is a booth in the hotel lobby with a computer with internet access. Don't miss gelato at Vivolo, near San Croce.
