We chose the Silla Hotel from a guide book because it was a small hotel and on the quieter side of the River Arno and the building itself sounded interesting. The staff were friendly and helpful to any questions we asked. Even though we didn't have one of the most expensive rooms, we had a lovely view over the balcony... more

Wow! We selected Hotel Silla due to the reviews of others and the location. We certainly made the correct choice. Our stay of three nights was delightful. The staff went out of their way to help us in SO many ways. We inquired about finding a flea market with old rusty leftover things. The next day we had a note... more

It was an absolutely fabulous stay. The perfect location... Away from the hustle bustle of the city center and not too far either (Just on the other side of the Arno river). You could even walk all the way to the train station (20 min) if you so choose. And if you want to take the bus, there's one every... more

We loved the location of the hotel, in an artists' section on the left bank of the Arno, away from the noise and crowds of central Florence but only about a ten minutes' walk from the Uffizi or Santa Croce. The hotel had a parking garage (€16), which was a great benefit since parking isn't easy in central Florence. You... more

This hotel is in an excellent location in the old center of Florence. The room was very spacious, even with a king-sized bed. The staff was very helpful and spoke perfect English. The hotel had free wi-fi and even a computer for guest-use. Breakfast was excellent -plenty of pastries, croissants, cereal, fruit, juice and Italian cappuccino on an outdoor patio.... more

Suffice it to say, Florence offers the traveler a bewildering array of accommodations, with this hotel, the Silla, being a standout for combining convenience of location, fine, personalized service, along with a very fair rate. The Silla overlooks the River Arno, about a 10-minute walk to the magnificent Santa Croce church. My wife and I enjoyed a fine city view... more

My friend and I stayed at hotel Silla in July and really felt that it was a great value for Florence. We got an online rate of 90 euros for a double room. We liked the Otrarno area, great restaurants and not too far to walk to popular tourist sites. The rooms were clean and had the hotel staff were... more

The location is wonderful. The setting is lovely. While there were 2 small very busy bars with outside seating on the same street that looked great for young adults, there was no noise in the room at all. The view from the room of the Arno was great. The breakfast is more than adequate and the staff is friendly and... more

We booked 2 spacious twin rooms on the second floor overlooking the nice terrace of the hotel where breakfast is served, and Piazzale Demidoff beyond. The view from our rooms was charming. What we liked:- Warm welcome at the reception. Helpful and well-infomed staff, who assisted us with booking our visit to the Uffizi Art Gallery, and who advised us... more
