Very Good

Excellent hotel, excellent staff, location is slightly off centre but not too far of a walk to the central touristy spots. Nice pool and spa, really recommend - can be overcrowded but manageable. Clean and comfortable rooms. Breakfast only from 7:30-10:30am. Easy check in and check out. Would come back again.

Not too sure why this place gets such a good rating. Location is bad, room is basic at best. I wouldn’t have stayed here if the reviews were accurate and will not stay again.

Just outside the old town, a very comfortable hotel with a beautiful small garden. From the 5th floor rooftop you can enjoy the dome and tower of Santa Maria del Fiore. The rooms are fully equipped, the hotel is decorated in a modern and artistic style, and the service is attentive and friendly.

The room is well-equipped, clean and tidy, with convenient transportation. The service is warm, the breakfast is very rich, and the balcony has a beautiful night view

The room is relatively new, with a kitchen (induction cooker and microwave) and a refrigerator. There is a Coop supermarket 5 minutes away, and the nearby restaurants are reasonably priced. I strongly recommend using the hotel's swimming pool sauna. The water temperature of the swimming pool is as warm as hot spring water. A dip can eliminate a day's fatigue. Swimming requires a reservation and is limited in time. Remember to bring a swimsuit. The view from the top public area on the 5th floor is very good, and you can see the roof of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Suitable for taking pictures📷 The hotel is within a 20-minute walk from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Clean and cosy hotel with a fantastic terrasse. The pool was great and i liked that you have to book time there, so i was never to crowdy. Room was big and had a good kitchen. People at the reception where very helpful and always smiling. Had a fantastic stay at Forte 16 For sure we will come back

This hotel had some nice aspects - it’s in a nice neighborhood, we enjoyed the indoor pool and laundry, and having breakfast in the hotel was very convenient. However, the room itself was disappointing. The beds were very uncomfortable and the bedsheets were scratchy. The room was very damp and the air system circulated cold musty air. The bathroom had very little space for toiletry bags and very few bars or hooks for towels. These things matter when staying more than one night and especially when the room is for four people.

What a beautiful place to stay in Florence! You will want for nothing during your stay here. Our room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. There is 24 hour access to ice and cold water and a daily breakfast with the usual fare. The hotel staff is extremely helpful with everything from the wonderful daily housekeeping staff to the front desk staff getting us taxis or helping us find anything and everything in the area. Some of the major attractions are a bit of a walk, 20-30 minutes, but we felt like we were walking off all that pasta and gelato. I would LOVE to stay here again!

Nice hotel with excellent staff. Driving around the city is quite nerve racking and we had a hard time finding the hotel. Nicolo went out front and waved us down and was so helpful with our parking and getting taxis. The whole staff was great and the room was comfortable. The "balcony" was not much of anything but offered a nice view. The bed was comfortable and the spa was top notch.

We had a fantastic stay at Forte 16 celebrating our 10-year anniversary and my wife's birthday. The rooms are very spacious, much larger than expected. The facilities certainly add something extra. We loved the fact that you could help yourself to ice, still and sparkling water in a large container and store it in your room fridge. This is conveniently located next to the spa and seemed easy to access without having to interact with anyone from most rooms using the lift. The rooftop hot tub was great, offering amazing views; we enjoyed watching the sun set over Florence with prosecco. The pool in the spa is fantastic, pretty much bath temperature, and has two water features you can control with buttons. A great place to relax and start your day, or after walking around Florence. The steam room and sauna are small and don't get that hot, but overall the spa space is a great addition to the hotel. Location-wise, we thought it might be a bit of a walk to get anywhere, but in reality, there are bars and shops almost everywhere walking towards the castle, and it feels central. Florence is mainly flat, and it takes little effort to get to most places. If you're used to getting Ubers, it's not the same in Florence; they are generally more expensive than taxis. To be honest, though, we walked everywhere for our entire stay. Generally, getting a taxi saves very little time to visit any of the main attractions in the local area.

I somehow booked a reservation at this hotel and they DO NOT send you a normal confirmation email. They sent an email about a hot tub experience that looked like spam. When our travel plans changed I could not find any sort of confirmation so I second guessed myself that I had booked it. Then they charged me over $800 for a no show fee. I contacted them several times about the error and they kept saying they sent me a confirmation but it was the hot tub experience email with nothing on it about the room reservation. This is very unethical business practices in my opinion. I highly recommend checking out a different hotel. They are not reasonable and will take any chance to take advantage of the customer.
Response from Property: Dear Amy, comprehensively - from your point of view - you already asked us explanations via email, and we already widely explained why we have charged the now show penalty. Then you - rightfully, from you point of view - tried to get the credit card company to reverse the charge, but they also agreed with us that we were right. Now – rightly so, from your point of view – you thought you had to defame us on the internet. The fact is that you continue to only see your point of view, despite the facts that we have proved: We have already demonstrated to you and to the credit card company that the confirmation email was sent correctly. Why you didn't receive it - if you really didn't receive it - we don't know, but it's certainly not our fault. Not only that: we also sent you a second email, asking if you wanted to book the hot tub, but you apparently thought that the hotel that had not sent you the confirmation, now it was sending you some random spam. Since you talk about "reasonableness", I think you should have appealed to this world, and contacted us at the time - if not after the first "missed" email, at least after the second received - to verify whether or not you had completed the booking. This would have been much more "reasonable", in my opinion. Anyhow, I don't think that this response of mine can help you change your point of view, but at least the readers who come across it will also be able to benefit of the truth of the facts. Kind regards Niccolo' Revenue manager

We are so very pleased we chose Forte16 in Florence. The steam sand sauna are excellent after the long flight and the area is where the locals want to live. To be just on the edge of all major attraction means ease of access. The staff are excellent in person and on email. I highly recommend the balcony room with handy kitchen and views of the Duomo and the Cathedral.

A comfortable and clean hotel with friendly staff. The room was spacious with a stocked small kitchen. The pool area very comfortable with attention to admitting a small number of guests for 50 min to allow everyone to enjoy the facility. The street area is quiet at night as is the hotel. Close to many restaurants and shopping as well as the historical centre of Florence.

Stayed for 3 nights in one of the family rooms. Great size room. Booked swimming pool in advance which was our sons highlight. Breakfast outside in garden was lovely and we also used the expansive roof terrace for a sundowner Prosecco or 2. 15 mins walk to town, but interesting journey so no chore at all. Highly recommend
