Great location, easy access to the station & city center

Beautiful location and property. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The food menu was limited and expensive. Additionally was not a fan of the Caesarsalad but I suppose that is just preference.

First I liked the location in Santa Maria Novella (in the center). The hotel is so nice, luxurious and elegant. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The room is so clean and nice. The breakfast is good and delicious and so many varieties. I would definitely come back.
Really no negative to say.

Location ideal for the train station and tram to the airport and also a few minutes walk from the historic centre of the city
Room facilities were not great, no tea/coffee making equipment.
Breakfast was good, but tea/coffee only available to order, we prefer to help ourselves

Very Poor
My partner’s travel bag was stolen in the hotel lobby during checking. Surveillance video later showed two men following us inside - one distracted my partner while the other walked off with the bag, all in a matter of seconds.
A few concerns: The lobby, which opens directly onto Florence’s largest piazza, is expansive and highly permeable, but seems to be often staffed by a single receptionist. When we realized what had happened, another staff member came out from the office but seemed unsure how to proceed, explaining that only the general manager could review the security footage, and that he was not immediately available.
The following morning, having lost our sense of security there, we decided to end our stay early. To his credit, the GM apologized in person, assuring us that an insurance claim would be filed, and didn’t charge us for the night. Since then, however, we’ve received no meaningful updates regarding the claim.
For what it’s worth, the room itself at Grand Hotel Minerva was spacious and adequately appointed, if somewhat dated. Breakfast staff were warm and attentive.
Unfortunately, without a basic sense of security - and lack of thorough follow-up - those positives ultimately mean very little.

Friendly professional staff, clean comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast, great location to all the major sights and more.
One room was very hot despite turning temperature down but, easily remedying with a fan sent up from the front desk.
