“Hotel Merlini's prime location, a genuine asset, places guests within easy reach of the Duomo, leather market, and Mercato Centrale; family-run, it offers a lift (something of an advantage in Florence) and refreshingly attentive service. I find the updated rooms and excellent water pressure particularly notable, addressing any past concerns. It's a solid, well-situated base for exploring the city.”
