Close to Duomo, very nicely decorated, excellent breakfast, friendly staff. Only thing that we didn’t love was the air conditioning didn’t work very well and the room was a bit too warm for a truly relaxing sleep.

Glimpse Hotel is in an excellent location—walking distance to all the main sights, making it ideal for first-time visitors. The central setting does mean it can be noisy, but that’s expected in such a vibrant area. The service was outstanding—staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent with great variety and quality. A few drawbacks to note: the mattress wasn’t very comfortable, the shower is inside a high bathtub which can be difficult to get in and out, and there’s no real lobby area to relax. Overall, a great base for exploring Florence.

This place went above and beyond my expectations. The staff is incredible. They have coffee and breakfast in the morning and even called a car very early in the am for the airport and somoene was at the desk and provided a "to go" breakfast. It was truly something special. The staff is really great they even offered suggestions for shopping and food. The rooms are nice, especially for Florence where you can get an unsuspecting mix due to the old properties and the location is right in the middle of everything so can easily walk to the Duomo or all the historical sites. I 100% reccomend this hotel. Only thing to note is that the bath tub in my room was quite tall and someone on the shorter stature or with disabilities would have trouble getting in and out. Not sure if this was just my room or not, but definitely ask the staff in advance if concerned. Otherwise, 10/10 and will absolutely go back next time I am in florence.

Fantastic check-in for road weary travelers!

Check in was great. We arrived early to Florence from Venice and instead of citing check-in and arrival policy, the staff worked hard to get our room ready. They made us feel welcome, provided food and other amenities to make us comfortable. The staff is very friendly and courteous.

My husband and another couple started at this boutique hotel which we found so adorable. The staff is very friendly the rooms are not very big but beds are super comfy. The breakfast was excellent. The best is that it’s super walkable to restaurants and many sightseeing locations. They offer valet parking for an extra fee which is definitely needed if you have a car! We never stayed at a boutique hotel but this one we all loved!

Absolutely amazing: brilliant hospitality!

I can honestly say that the service, welcome and friendliness was unequalled. The folks arranged that the cat was valet parked and returned when ended, we received a delightful welcome including a glass of Prosecco, and the room, breakfast and service were impeccable. Top notch!

Marta and her staff were perfecto! They were professionals when it came to hospitality. The hotel is small and quaint but that is to its advantage. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. The front desk staff - led by Marta - were always available to offer tips and directions. And Yulia behind the bar was ready with a drink or a coffee whenever you needed one. I recommend staying at the Glimpse (which I assume is named because you can get a glimpse of the Duomo just a short distance away) anytime you’re in Florence.

Nice but a bit tight

The style of the hotel was really nice but the room we had was too small for two people with more than one suitcase. There was very little space to lay out our luggage, so we were jumping over our suitcases as we didn’t want to unpack since we were only staying one night. Also the single corner sink in the bathroom was crazy small with nowhere to put toiletries at all. A small shelving unit next to the sink would be sensible. The shower looked nice but was very narrow and tight. Not good for larger people. Breakfast was excellent! Location was very central and convenient Also, thr AC wasn’t cold enough for July heat. Having a car was tricky as Florence has restrictions to enter the city centre so one needs to discuss with hotel for options…

We had a wonderful Four- night stay at the Glimpse Hotel starting with the check in.  We were warmly, greeted and welcomed by Alina at the front desk.  She took her time to explain all the hotel's amenities and important information. Also, the staff greeted us every time we exited and entered the hotel. That made us feel welcome. I also, want to give a special note of gratitude to the staff working in the breakfast dining area. They provided excellent service with a smile. This hotel makes the breakfast to order, which is great and they have something for everyone's taste. Finally, a special thank you to the ladies doing house keeping, they did an impeccable job with the upkeep of the room. They are very efficient and pay a lot of attention to detail. Even though this job is not easy, they still manage to keep a smile on her face at all times. The room was a good size, the bathroom was big with plenty of space for storing all your personal toiletries. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciate the extra memory foam topper. It made the mattress extra comfortable. All in all, we had an excellent stay at The Glimpse hotel. Keep up the great customer service and hospitality!
