I was hosted by the Waldorf Suite from 26 – 29 November during my visit to Tuscany. My complimentary accommodation was arranged through Hotels.com who offer a wide selection of hotels in Florence to suit all tastes and budgets.

The Waldorf Suite is in a central location between the train and bus stations very handy when you arrive with luggage or want to go on day trips by public transport.

I stayed in Suite 485 which appeared to be made up of two self contained units meaning that there was lots of space with a living/kitchen area, two bathrooms and a bedroom with great views over Florence. There is a balcony but it’s noisy outside and the balcony is shared with the apartment next door. The suite does have the wow factor between the trendy decor, the space and the views.

The bathrooms are beautiful, one has a large shower and two sinks, the other has a spa bath. The self catering facilities are quite limited, there are two electric rings, a kettle, basic cutlery, crockery and some pans. You can order a continental breakfast to be delivered to your suite within the half hour slot of your preference for a supplement.

On the first evening I could only pick up a wifi signal in the corridor of the fourth floor. The next morning I did manage to pick up a decent wifi signal by sitting in the bathroom. Not good as you pay a supplement for wifi.

Although I expected some exterior noise due to the city centre location, I could hear a lot of external noise. I believe that more up-to-date double glazing would cut out a lot of this noise. It was also possible to hear other guests chatting in their rooms.

Overall the suite offered lots of space, luxury and comfort with lovely views over the city. However it was annoying not to be able to get a decent wifi signal at the desk in the bedroom or in the living area. There was quite a bit of external and internal noise. A few more items in the kitchen such as chopping board, vegetable and bread knife would be very useful.
