Nicely located hotel. The room was spacious and we loved the coffee station (although we would suggest adding coffee whitener to the amenities). Staff was so helpful explaining the details for a stress free stay. She also pointed out several must sees on a map. Would stay here again.

What a nice surprise! We've stayed at the Essence Hotel for only one night, and the stay couldn't be better. The room was spacious, with a very nice view of Firenze. Location was great, only 15 min walking from the Santa Maria Novella train station. And Rafaella, from the front desk, was so lovely with us.

8/10 Very good

The checkin staff was helpful - provided us a map and recommended us where to go and even where not to go. The hotel has a modern vibe which we love. It is walkable to the center and train station. Wifi was fast which is a plus for my son. The only negative thing is that something seems to be biting my son who has his own bed.

I stayed at the Essence for 3 nights. I received a free upgrade from Raffaella when I checked into the hotel. She was very helpful and made a dinner reservation for us. The hotel was clean and in a good location. My room was also very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Essence hotel makes good sense

We had a great stay at the Essence Hotel. It is in a quieter part of town but still close to everything. The room we stayed in was clean and modern. Most major attractions in Florence were within easy walking distance. We'd be happy to stay here again next time when we come back to visit Tuscany.
