“Aqa Palace strikes me as a well-located option for exploring Florence, particularly its Uffizi district, and select rooms offer kitchen facilities, which could appeal to longer stays. While breakfast in the Art Deco dining room might be a splurge, the concierge services and proximity to Piazza della Signoria and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore suggest a balance of convenience and charm.”

They added a rollaway bed so our children didn't have to share the pullout, which made our stay great.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Aqa Palace enjoys a phenomenal central location, steps away from the Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo, making it ideal for exploring. Many guests appreciate the spacious, clean rooms, some featuring high ceilings, bookshelves, and comfortable beds; a few rooms even boast rooftop decks. The hotel's charming decor adds to the appeal, though some guests have noted occasional issues with check-in due to the absence of a traditional reception.

The location was central, providing easy access to major attractions (a real plus for exploring!). Our room was spacious with great appointments. The housekeeper, Viola, maintained perfect cleanliness throughout our stay.

The heating was a bit too strong for my liking, even after mentioning it to the staff.
