Palazzo Niccolini Al Duomo allows guests to enjoy Florence from a prime location, just steps away from the Duomo, with some rooms even offering views of its cupola. The building itself is a beautifully restored historic palazzo featuring elegant rooms, with a spacious layout and comfortable beds. While the breakfast buffet receives praise for its choices, some guests have noted that the air conditioning in the bedroom was less effective compared to other areas of their suites. Staying here offers a unique experience with its blend of history and modern comfort.
