What our guests says about facilities

Hotel Merlini offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Quiet

I loved my stay in the Queen Room at Hotel Merlini. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was so quiet after a long day of exploring Florence. There was even a small balcony with a view over the rooftops, including a glimpse of the majestic Duomo. You could feel the pride the owners took in maintaining their family run hotel, which made it even more special.

Modern and Clean Bath

What impressed me the most was the cleanliness of the bathroom at Hotel Merlini. It was modern and very well-kept, offering a good-sized shower that felt refreshing after a day out. The attention to detail, from the cleanliness to the modern fixtures, made my stay much more enjoyable.

Dazzling Breakfast Room

The breakfast room at Hotel Merlini was a highlight of my mornings. With beautiful paintings and a lovely view, it made for a charming atmosphere to start the day. The breakfast itself was good, with good coffee served by the owners. It felt like a warm and inviting space to enjoy a meal before heading out to explore Florence.
