We had a wonderful stay at The Hoxton Florence. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was spotless and beautifully designed. We booked a room with a terrace and an outdoor tub. While we didn’t use the tub since it was winter, we absolutely loved spending time on the terrace. December weather in Florence was gorgeous, lots of sun and comfortable with just a light jacket during the day.
The view from the terrace isn’t much to write home about since the walls are quite high, so you mostly see the sky (and a few construction cranes), but it still felt peaceful and private.
Breakfast was excellent and well worth paying extra for. We wanted to avoid the hassle of finding a breakfast spot each morning, and this made things easy. They offer a buffet, but you can also order hot plates like avocado toast, eggs, bacon, and more—everything we tried was delicious.
The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and gave great recommendations. We didn’t use public transportation at all and walked everywhere. The location is great if you don’t mind a 15–30 minute walk, which honestly is part of the magic of Florence—you’ll stumble upon hidden gems along the way.
The only downside: when you flush the toilet, it tends to splash upward, so definitely close the lid before flushing.
Overall, a lovely stay and a hotel we’d happily return to.
