We had a very nice stay for Christmas 2008 at the Hotel David in Florence, Italy. The staff's hospitality, the warmth of the hotel all decorated for Christmas, the happy hour next to the fireplace, the spacious clean rooms and wonderful freshly baked pastries for breakfast and Christmas Eve, all contributed to a very memorable visit to Florence.

Home-like atmosphere, and greeted everyone by their names. Went out of their way to be sure we wanted for nothing. Clean, friendly and warm atmosphere. The Lobby area was charming, much like the "living room" as it were before it was made into a hotel. FOUR stars! more

My wife, 21-month old daughter and I stayed at The David in late November as we toured through Tuscany, Rome and Sorrento. The owner and staff were the friendliness and most helpful people that we have met in any hotel. They helped us plan all of our Florence and Tuscan ventures, and were always very friendly to us and our... more

My wife and I decided on Hotel David based on reviews here at tripadvisor. The Hotel is cute and has every amenity, but what really sets this place apart is the service. It was way more than expected. We felt like we were guests at someones house. From incredible restaurant recommendations to advice about the people, the town and the... more

Generally I find the reviews on TripAdvisor over generous - a normal, solid hotel tends to be reviewed as "the best", "extraordinary" and mixed up with our overall feelings of having had a good vacation, rather than something truly being an exceptional hotel. I myself am to blame for this as anyone and have generally avoided reviewing hotels now because... more
