Location near attractions

Hotel David is in the Oltrarno neighborhood, near public transportation and right next to a bus stop linking with Florence's centre. It is located at the beginning of Viale Michelangiolo, leading to Piazzale Michelangelo. The hotel is a few minutes from the city centre and historic sites such as the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria. Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo are 25 minutes by foot. To arrive by car, follow signs for Centro and Viale Michelangiolo and yellow sign to Piazzale Michelangelo. Freeway to/from SIENA ends at Firenze Impruneta.

Getting Around Florence

From Venice, Milan and Rome take highway to Florence Impruneta, then follow signs for Center and Viale Michelangiolo, and yellow sign to Piazzale Michelangelo. From Siena and San Gimignano, follow signs to Firenze Impruneta, then follow signs for Center and Viale Michelangiolo, and yellow sign to Piazzale Michelangelo. From the Florence Airport (FLR), a taxi to the hotel takes about 30 minutes and costs approximately 35 Euro. From the train station, a taxi is about 15 Euro. Alternatively, take the C4 bus and exit at Michelangelo Bastioni, a few meters from the hotel; purchase and stamp tickets inside the station before boarding.

“In my opinion, this property stands out for its dedication to guest experience: free parking, bus tickets at reception, and a complimentary happy hour cultivate an inviting atmosphere. The building's historic charm, coupled with renovated rooms and mountain views, is notable. For those seeking a personal touch and authentic Florentine warmth, this hotel is an excellent choice.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel David offers a charming experience, featuring a complimentary happy hour with snacks and drinks that many guests appreciate. The breakfast is a highlight, offering a wide variety, sometimes enjoyed on the quaint patio lined with orange and lemon trees. Located a pleasant 15-20 minute walk along the river to the town center, some have noted that the hotel's decor has a traditional, slightly dated style. Free parking adds to the value, and rooms are generally spacious, sometimes including balconies.

the hotel is about a 20 minute walk to many sites. i didn't mind a bit of walking because i knew i was returning to a lovely, cute hotel. the included breakfast on their lovely patio is delicious. it offers so much selection. the hotel has afternoon apertivos with free wine and snacks every day in their pretty little garden!!!
our room had a bit of an odd smell upon arrival. the furnishings were quite simple. some updating and better maintenance in the rooms would make a big difference.
