I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts a modern design and is situated along the river, providing easy access to Florence's center. The atmosphere is inviting, and the cleanliness is commendable. However, I did notice a lack of attention to detail with some areas needing cleaning, particularly the luggage shelf. Overall, it's a charming spot with a pleasant ambiance but could improve on cleanliness in certain areas.

Hotel River is a chic and charming place located right by the river and within walking distance of Florence's city center. The well-designed rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a relaxing atmosphere for guests. However, I did find the dining options a bit limited for such a lovely hotel. Overall, it offers great value for money considering the quality of the service and the amenities provided.

I had a generally positive experience at Hotel River. The hotel is chic and well-maintained, with lovely amenities, though my experience was slightly marred by noise issues from the nearby bar. The service was exceptional and the breakfast buffet was delightful. While the room was comfortable, I recommend choosing one that doesn't overlook the river if you prefer peace at night.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location was fantastic, allowing easy access to the main attractions of Florence, and the facilities were well-maintained. However, I was disappointed with the noise level during breakfast and the lack of a rooftop terrace that was advertised when I booked. Overall, it offered good value for money considering its proximity to key sites, but it could use some improvement in service management.
