Riva Lofts 5/5

This hotel is a hidden gem in Florence. We celebrated my 60th birthday. If bespoke and boutique is your favourite hotel choice, Riva Lofts is a wonderful choice. Leafy green gardens to rest under and a beautiful pool to cool off in during the hot Italian summer. The tram from the main train station only €1.70 and three stops to the hotel - super easy to get to and from.

Exceptional!! The two bedroom, two bath loft was absolutely amazing. Immaculate. Gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful and so is the pool. Staff was super friendly. They helped with taxis and guided us on what to see and how to get there. The continental breakfast was delicious. The property is in a quiet neighborhood, which is a nice respite from the hustle n bustle of downtown. The tram that takes you into the historic center is only a few minutes walk, very convenient. I can't say enough how much we loved this place. We want to return asap!

Traveled with family
The place is nice however there are few disappointing conditions First is is pretty far from the center contrary to what is written it takes half an hour in public transportation to get to the center, which means at least an hour a day and if you want to come and go it is more cumbersome Second the staff is not available. In the evening there’s no one to answer, not even on the phone. The room itself is clean and well kept but there isn’t enough light , which makes it difficult and uncomfortable. The yard and the pool are very nice and welcoming and if you are looking for some getaway from the crowded city it is really nice. As for the breakfast it varies on different days, on one day it was very slim on the second much reacher.

The property was interesting and located away from the center of Florence (a plus). Nice pool and bar. Pleasant staff. The breakfast was completely inadequate and sad— almost nothing to choose from (and for 300 a night you would expect considerably more… ).

Good: Very nice decoration, good cleaning work everyday. Good bed. Very nice reception. Very convenient to have bikes with baby seat! Not so good: If have washing machine it'll be perfect. Quality of breakfast could be better. Things for kitchenette are very very limited. Parking space limited, only 3, almost always full, so had to park on the street.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This property has great potential if you want to be out of the touristy areas. it just doesn't quite cut it for the price. The grounds are very nice and the reception area was very nice and the operators were very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms seemed just a little dirty and musty. This is an old building not unlike most buildings in Italy, but other redone rooms that we stayed at throughout Italy didn't have the same odors and cleanliness issues. The stairs inside the rooms seemed somewhat dangerous. We stayed in two different rooms while we were there and the 3 story loft was nicer, but with the same issues. In the second room we stayed in there was outside carpeting between the doors of two rooms which makes no sense and it was filthy.

A little bit of heaven

Riva Lofts is a wonderful place to stay to get away from the hectic tourist swarms in the city center. It is a 10 minute tram ride into the train station or a leisurely 20 minute bike ride (they provide the bikes!). It is quiet, green and serene. The rooms are spotless and modern. The sala hosts a large communal table for a gourmet breakfast spread (many things home made)which is included. Also a small but beautiful swimming pool and garden. The staff was very accommodating. All their recommendations were terrific. We had been staying for 3 nights in Piazza Antinori so this was a pleasant change. Not at all inconvenient.

Great location and caring personnel

Extremely friendly and caring personnel. Check-in experience was great. Location is 10mins away from downtown center and they provide bicycles for free to explore the city. This is actually by far better than staying downtown as traffic and parking there is a mess. Would always stay at Riga Lofts again

Charm and boutique in one.

Recently spent a short break at this wonderful little place within easy walking distance of the centre. Stayed in Loft 8 which has a good balcony to relax on and good space inside. Great staff, friendly and knowledgable, particularly when booking restaurants and advising on sites to see. Overall a great little hideaway for couples visiting Florence.
