Reviews
Great Stay in Florence! We had a great stay at Hotel Perseo! The room was very spacious and comfortable, the air conditioning worked beautifully which was definitely appreciated during the summer in Florence and the service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. The location is PERFECTION! The only area that could use some improvement is the breakfast. Unfortunately, we did not think it was very good, and with a little more variety and attention to quality, it could make the overall experience even better. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Perseo. The spacious room, great air conditioning, and wonderful service made it a very comfortable place to stay while visiting Florence!
Hotel Perseo – The Best 3-Star in Florence We stayed for four nights in mid-May and left genuinely impressed. Let's be clear upfront: this is a three-star hotel, and the rooms match that category — decent size, clean, functional, no obvious issues. Air conditioning is available for cooling but not heating, worth keeping in mind depending on the season. The breakfast is basic but covers everything you need, and the coffee is excellent. What sets Hotel Perseo apart is the staff. Friendly, competent and genuinely helpful — easily among the best front desk experiences we've had, including at considerably more expensive hotels. Nothing felt like an effort for them. The location is as central as it gets in Florence. Hard to do better. One thing worth knowing: the hotel occupies converted floors of an apartment building. It works well, but gives the place a slightly different feel compared to a purpose-built hotel. For a three-star at this location with this level of service, the price-performance ratio is hard to beat. 5/5 — set your expectations to three-star and you will likely be pleasantly surprised.
I had a really enjoyable stay at Hotel Perseo in Florence. The location is excellent and is right in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance of all the main attractions, which made exploring incredibly convenient. The rooms were impressively spacious, especially for a central Florence hotel and everything was kept very clean and well maintained throughout our stay. We had the European breakfast each day and it was a great way to start the day. What stood out most, though was the staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and always happy to help with any requests or recommendations. Overall, I would say that this is a fantastic option if you’re looking for comfort, convenience and great service in Florence.
We recently had a 3 night stay at Hotel Perseo. It was a fantastic experience and well-worth the price. Pros: - Incredible location - Extremely friendly and helpful staff - Great breakfast - Clean and charming rooms Cons: - Very small bathroom - Shower temperature changes dramatically between scorching hot and ice cold Will definitely stay at Hotel Perseo again, if I ever return to Florence
Easily the highlight of this hotel is it's location. It is in the heart of Florence just steps away from the Cathaderale Santa Maria Del Fiore. It is also within walking distance to anywhere you would want to go. Our room was nice, comfortable, clean and turned over daily. The breakfeast provided by the hotel was good. Check in/check out was very easy and the hotel staff were fantastic. For example, they made diner reservation for us at our request. I would certainly recommend staying here.
