Hotel Arno Bellariva

okay, my dear husband thought he had booked five star hotel - which the Hotel Arno is not! However, taking into consideration that it is a two star hotel, I think that is rating is a bit rough. We soon learned that there was no elevator - no problems, we will manage to get our luggage to the second floor, okay it was the third floor! Joke on us, however, the guy manning the desk grabbed the heavier of our two items and he carried it all the way up with my 60 something husband right behind him, not to be outdone! I followed and was grateful for the the small seat outside the room to sit and recover on whilst my husband fought with the key and lock to the room. Once inside the dark and drab room was exceptionally clean with a relatively modern bathroom. There was a smallish tv, no fridge nor was there tea or coffee facilities. It was the towards the end of May and whilst it was cool in the room when we arrived, the afternoon heat soon made it unbearable - our air con didn't work, which wasn't a big drama as you could open a window to let fresh air and a breeze work its wonders. However, as soon as the Sun went down, the mosquitos appeared as did the music that intruded from the night life across the road. Closing the window kept assisted in keeping the music and mozzies at bay, but the heat then became nearly unbearable. A real catch 22. We spent 4 nights here and had the dilemma 3 out of the 4 nights. However, the two guys at the front desk were excellent with their service. They assisted with a couple of minor things and were most helpful when we requested a taxi or help with the television. The bathroom was near new and the linen was clean with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was continental with some hot food available. Our stay was during the fourth week of a 5 week trip and it was handy having a self-service laundromat two blocks away. The town centre was about 20 minutes away and the walk to and from, along the River Arno's banks was relaxing. Whilst it certainly wasn't a place we would normally stay in, we were happy enough to remain there mainly due to attentiveness of the staff.

Great value for money. The rooms are clean, the staff is very nice and breakfast is fantastic. Visited on my own for 5 nights for conference purposes. Not far from downtown (half an hour walk through historic venues) or 15 minutes bus ride. Highly recommended.

A sabiendas de que era un 2 estrellas escogimos este hotel porque solo necesitábamos dormir sin grandes pretensiones. Nuestra habitación fue horrible, en la salida al patio exterior, al lado de la lavandería/guardador de lencería con tenderete incluido, con la bajante en la puerta que se oía cada vez que descargaban el WC arriba. Olía fatal, el baño sucio, de hecho dos gotas en la taza, las toallas aprestaban y solo dos, las de manos eran trapos literalmente, la pared con moho, el desayuno de mala calidad desde la fruta hasta el zumo o el pan, el último día bajamos sobre las 9:30 ya no había ni agua y no la repusieron para la media hora que quedaba de servicio. Una señora tuvo que pedir por favor le dieran leche fría para su hija porque la jarra también estaba vacia. A destacar...que a 15 minutos andando estabas en el centro y que el personal era muy correcto.

Ho fatto il turista per tre giorni con la famiglia.Abbiamo trovato questo albergo casualmente. Posizione ottima struttura discreta. La pulizia delle stanze lascia molto a desiderare ;un vero peccato perché la stanza ricevuta era ampia. Ottimo il parcheggio anche lì con pulizia discutibile. La magia di Firenze fa passare i problemi in second'ordine.

La nostra stanza era pulita. Il bagno piccolissimo, letti molto scomodi, ma il personale era gentile e attento nei ns confronti e la colazione super. Zona abbastanza centrale, a piedi abbiamo raggiunto il centro della città facilmente in quanto costeggia il fiume e arriva dritto a ponte vecchio.

Mai trovato un hotel peggio di questo. Zanzare morte su tutte le mura della camera Teli per la doccia assenti Carta igienica assente Condizionatori del 15-18 rumorosi Niente frigo bar Bagno minuscolo (se sei alto più di 1.20 mt non puoi farti il bidet) Letti singoli (scomodi)attaccati per crearne un matrimoniale Pulizia camere inesistente Grandissima delusione, peró una cosa positiva và detta, il personale alla reception SEMPRE CORDIALE,DISPONIBILE ED EDUCATO, e non è poco.
