Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining ratings are middling — The 'Dining' category scores 6 out of 10, which suggests the in-house restaurant may not match the high standards of other areas.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other aspects — While still positive, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 7 out of 10, slightly below the hotel's overall rating.
  • Price is on the higher side — Rooms start from £512 per night, which is a significant investment for a city break.

“Golden Tower Hotel was a beautifully clean, well-appointed, value-for-money boutique hotel. The service was excellent and you couldn't ask for a better location. Our stay was relaxing and we just can't fault anything. We ate in-house and the meals were delicious. It is sometimes a risk booking over the internet but we were extremely satisfied and will definitely recommend the hotel to family and friends.”

“The staff were excellent. The amenities and decor were beautiful. Internet access was very reliable and fast. I've stayed in hotels all over the world and this is one I would return to. Great location just a few minutes' walk from the city centre, museums, and Ponte Vecchio. Good restaurants nearby. Breakfast and staff at the hotel restaurant were excellent. Highly recommended.”

“I have no words — the best quality I've stayed at before. The staff's service was excellent and comfortable during my 3-day stay. Convenient location for traditional places and good food, though the hairdryer was very heavy.”

“The charm of the medieval building paired with spacious, cozy rooms. The hotel's convenient location allowed us to walk to nearly every major attraction, and having a spa on-site is a huge bonus. We loved the unique touches, like the water bottles waiting for us at night after a long day of exploring. Plus, the lovely bar area was the perfect spot to unwind each evening.”
