The staff was very nice and the breakfast was a very nice perk. The hotel is on the older side but it is clean and the bed was comfortable enough. The location and price make it a good value pick.
Very nice for the price, good breakfast not the typical US breakfast, this one is very good, excellent.
Even though the construction is a little bit old, the building is well maintained.
Room very clean, comfortable bed with clean and iron sheets, bathroom good, everything very nice, it has a good location but there is a construction going on right now, they are building the line that is going directly to the Florence airport, so very good for them.
Really clean!! Smelt amazing the entire time - the shower isn’t the best as it’s dated (but the building itself is very well maintained) Staff were super welcoming when we arrived, even letting us check in early!! Location is good as bus routes are very often and quick in the area. Breakfast was nice - would benefit from a bit more fresh fruit.
The room was a great value. The temperature control worked great, it was very quiet and clean and the shower had great pressure and temperature control.
Nice hotel with quite modern feeling. At least compared to the other hotels visited during this Italian trip. Breakfast was ok. Not so much too choose, but well managed. Nice park on the other side of the street, where you could by street food and beverages in the evening. Close to river and not that far too city centre and train station.
It’s only two stars so don’t expect too much. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are cozy, the air conditioning was essential on 40c days in August. It’s across the street from the river and in a pleasant residential neighborhood and a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio and the central tourist locations in Florence. Good breakfast with fresh cut fruit as well as all the typical options.

In terms of location, it was a 20-30 minute walk from all the main touristy spots with bus stops available within a 5-10 minute walk. Not too many dining options around the area and no local shop either which was not an issue for me personally.
The reception staff was very friendly and the breakfast options were standard (cereal, toast, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, fruit and pastires).
There was no lift in the building with quite a steep incline of the stairs to get to the second floor. The room main doors were also very heavy and quite hard to open as was the wardrobe door. Not an issue for me but could be an issue for indivuduals with mobility issues.
The room itself was standard although old fashioned with very little decor. The bed lamp didn't even have a lamp shade, just a bare lightbulb. The bathroom was tiny, and water pressure was dissapointing. My room was also ridden with mosquitoes which made my first night impossible to sleep through.
All in all, Hotel Arno Bellariva is a good hotel for a short term stay but not a place I would reccomend to stay if you're looking for more than just sleeping in the room.
Overall Impression: The only redeeming qualities of this hotel are it’s the location and the friendly staff. Unfortunately, the positives are completely overshadowed by the utterly unacceptable condition and lack of basic amenities for a room costing $260 per night. This property is dramatically overpriced and fails to meet even basic hospitality standards.
Major Issues (The Value Disconnect):
• Maintenance & Cleanliness: The hotel is clearly very old and poorly maintained. The room lacked essential cleaning standards; there was no change of bed sheets during my three-day stay, and towels were only changed once.
• Room Deficiencies: There were absolutely no basic amenities in the room, and no spare blankets were provided. The room felt incomplete and neglected.
• The shower door was not working well, and the toilet seat was broken
• Infrastructure: There is no elevator, which made luggage transport difficult.
• Pest Control: I experienced a notable issue with mosquitoes in the room.
• At this price, the breakfast needs to be of higher quality with greater variety.
Conclusion: While the staff were genuinely nice, and the location is OK, the hotel's state of disrepair, lack of cleanliness, and deficient room amenities make the $260 cost per night an absolute waste of money. I strongly recommend travelers look for other options nearby that offer better value and basic comfort.

The service was excellent!! Our only issue was that water was spraying from the toilet tank and the shower was leaking. The friendly staff made our stay very pleasant.
The self serve breakfast at Hotel Arno Belleriva was really filling!
Offered from 7:00 -9:30am on the bottom floor with the option to eat inside or outside in the private patio area. 3 cereal choices and fresh milk. Chocolate and regular croissants. Ham, processed cheese, tomatoes and bread to make sandwiches. Individualized yogurts. Hard boiled eggs in the shell. Self serve automatic cappuchino, coffee and latte machines with many options. Automatic juice machine with two options. Toaster and bread with good selection of jams. Freshly cut pineapple.
We started each day very well fed!
The hotel room for four of us adults (1 queen and 2 singles) was a good size with comfortable beds and a good shower in the private washroom.
The walk to Florence’s main strip (Uffizi Gallery to the Duomo) was about 20 minutes. With buses we were able to get closer and save much of that time and effort (especially on the north side of the Duomo).
