We just returned from 3 nights in Florence at the Hotel Silla and were very pleased with our choice. We knew going into it that the room would be basic and small - we had intentionally chosen the "small room" knowing we would not be in our room much. The shower and toilet were both within the same shower curtain... more

We spent 5 nights here. The hotel is on the river and we had a view of the terrace and the river with the Ponte Vecchio visible. The location is convenient to walk to most of the major sites that we wanted to see. The room was standard size, similar to others we stayed in on this trip. Staff was... more

Staying at the Hotel Silla was a wonderful way to begin our first trip to Florence. Hotel Silla is across the river from the city of Florence but that is just a 5 minute walk over one of the city's lovely bridges. We wanted to be part of the city scene but don't like the bustle and noise of inner... more

Hotel Silla was not a good choice...it was very noisy...the Hotel is worn, but the breakfast was good. On a map the location looks close to everything, but we have stayed at other Hotel's in Florence with better locations. After 8 trips to Italy, booking Hotel Silla was my worse booking ever...the internet overrates Hotel Silla. The bars with outdoor... more

My husband and I spent 6 nights at the Hotel Silla. We found the staff very professional, pleasant, and accomodating. The hotel is located away from the bustle of the tourist areas but within a 5 -10 minute walk to the Uffizi. Pitti Palace, or Santa Croce. The rooms are as advertised -not luxurious, a little spartan, but adequate and... more

I go to Florence at least twice a year and like 3-star hotels: not too ritzy, not too rough. I have stayed in several fine hotels, a few too far out, and most with easy access to the center of town. The Silla was a special treat because it was quite close in, yet quiet, not terribly expensive and not... more

Excellent hotel with friendly and helpful service. The double room was large with plenty of space for luggage and clothes. The location was good - within walking distance of the main Florence sights, but located in a quiet neighborhood across the river away from the huge crowds. Available parking garage was another real bonus as we had a rental car... more

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Silla. The staff was extremely friendly & helpful. Antonio at front reception got me dinner reservations one night at Mamma Gina's, when I couldn't get one myself. The staff recommended good places to go & always had smiles on their faces. The reception staff were all helpful and offered suggestions when asked without hesitation... more

Having spent a few months in Florence many years ago, and knowing my way around the city, I was looking for a hotel located within walking distance of the main cultural attractions, but away from the hectic city center. Hotel Silla was a perfect choice. A nice small plaza separates it from the Lungarno (the street that runs along the... more
