Il Guelfo Bianco is perfectly situated in the heart of Florence, which is particularly convenient if you’re arriving by train, as the station is only a short walk away (max 15 minutes). All of the city’s main sights are within a 15-minute walk, making it an great base for exploring. The hotel itself was clean and the staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. My only complaint was that, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees the few days we were there, the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool. This may have been due to the larger, high-ceilinged space, which made air circulation less effective. Being an older building, there were also the occasional musty smells. Breakfast was included, and the fresh juices were a highlight. Overall, the hotel is worth it for the location alone - close to everything with plenty of dining options nearby. As someone who is vegan and gluten-free, I had no trouble finding options.
