I almost didn’t stay here because the keyless entry instructions sounded intimidating. I’m so glad I did! Don’t let the codes scare you. You receive one code, memorize it and you’re set. Enter the beautiful old building, use it for the tiny elevator, step out into the hotel and use it again for your room. After walking Florence all day, stepping off the elevator and practically into my room was glorious.
The room was divine. Soaring ceilings made it feel surprisingly spacious, and every usable inch was thoughtfully designed: comfortable bed, modern bathroom, desk and chair, storage and plenty of outlets. The AC is fantastic. I sleep at 65°F and this room could get even colder! Still and sparkling canned water were a thoughtful touch and perfect to grab when heading to the train. Even the TV can easily be switched from Italian using the remote.
I loved my peekaboo views over the Florentine rooftops. The mix of historic Florence outside and modern comfort inside was exactly what I hoped for. Step outside and Florence is everywhere. The tram is practically outside, there’s a church across the street, countless places to eat, a grocery store nearby, and the Duomo is only minutes away on foot.
I normally stay in 4.5 star and luxury hotels, and I wanted for absolutely nothing here. I booked two nights and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Hotel Miceli didn’t just give me a place to sleep, it made my time in Florence better. I cannot wait to return. ❤️ It was perfect in every way.
