Travelled with partner
25 Sept 2025
We stayed at Grand Hotel Minerva for three nights during our honeymoon to explore Florence for the first time. The hotel was in a great location - walking distance to all the main attractions, close to the train station for easy travel, but still quiet and peaceful. The hotel kindly provided biscotti as a treat for this being part of our honeymoon. The hotel was clean and the view from the rooftop was beautiful. However the breakfast wasn’t great, and the food and drink on offer at the hotel was extortionate. For example, 15€ for a 330mL Peroni, with cocktails over 20€ each. This is particularly frustrating after paying so much money to stay there in the first place. One of the reasons we booked the hotel was due to the rooftop pool, but unfortunately on the hot day we went to use it, we found it to be extremely cold and therefore barely in use. It would have been nice to relax on the rooftop but without racking up a huge drinks bill, this unfortunately wasn’t possible as outside food and drink can’t be consumed there either. Overall we would recommend looking elsewhere for better value for money. With Florence being a relatively small city, there are lots of other places to choose from that would still be well located for the main attractions.
