Recent Montebello Splendid Hotel Review: "Our recent stay at the Montebello Splendid Hotel in Florence was out standing, the hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and is within walking distance to everything you would care to see. The hotel is tucked into a side street and hidden behind some tall walls, but the gate to the courtyard was always open and the courtyard was very welcoming. The staff was friendly and spoke english. We were shown to our room promptly and athough not overly large by American standards, was richly appointed and very comfortable. The bathroom was marble and quite large with a whirlpool tub and Multiheaded shower. Bed was at least queen sized and has a comfort sleep system and multiple pillows to match your preference. Access to the rooms is via a Computer Access card that controls the electronic door locks, and once inside it slips into a similar slot to secure the room. All rooms have electronic controls, including alarm systems. I recommend adding the breakfast buffet, as the food was tasty, well prepared and had a good selection and not bad price since most resterants are not open before lunch.
We chosed to walk everywwhere, but public transportation is available. if you are there to see the museums, i recommend getting the Firenza Pass, which gets you into 33 of the museums and access to the Busses for a period of 72 hours. each museum has a different price, but since some places have fees for each section it is well worth it. Our pass paid for itself after the second museum, and we never did get on the busses.
The front desk staff is more than happy to help with reservations, trainschedules etc as well as recommendations for eating establishments outside the hotel. If we get the chance to go backe to Florence again, I would definatly stay at this hotel ."

| Expert Tip |
The Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of St John), less than two kilometers from the hotel, is believed to be the oldest building in Florence. It is particularly famed for its three sets of magnificent and artistically important bronze doors and magnificent mosaic ceiling over the baptisty. The earliest mosaics, works of art of many unknown Venetian craftsmen, date from 1225 and depict a variety of Biblical stories.
