Florence’s UNA Hotel Vittoria is a masterpiece of ultra-modern hotel design, the handiwork of the improbably named Italian architect Fabio Novembre, and it’s a highly individual expression. If you turn up expecting yet another international-modern minimalist design hotel, you risk having your Zen sensibilities upset by Novembre’s rich Baroque vision.

Forget about white on white: these bedrooms are a dark fantasy, with walls covered in tiles of black leather or red felt, with tiny fiber-optic lights glowing like stars at the corners. Large flat-screen internet-enabled televisions hover over black Corian countertops, complete with bar-style stools, a departure from the traditional office desk, and the closets are adorned with murals depicting hanging clothes and rows of shoes. Of particular note are the colorful bathrooms, outfitted with Arne Jacobsen fixtures and set off from the guest room’s foyer by a translucent glass wall.

Novembre’s is the sort of postmodern aesthetic that readily admits historical influences — the hotel corridors, an often overlooked space, are an homage to Florence’s rich artistic tradition: each guest room’s door, with its gilded frame, is a full-length portrait of a different 16th-century Tuscan aristocrat.

Public spaces are no less adventurous, from the looping ring-shaped chairs in the lobby to the long S-shaped communal dining table in the restaurant, meant as a reference to the long tables shared by the residents of ancient Tuscan monasteries. From the reception desk to the hotel’s entrance a floral-printed composite mosaic loops over itself, acclimating guests with a gravity-defying shock from the cobbled courtyards of the historic San Frediano district into the Vittoria’s futuristic fantasy world.

The hotel’s location is unusual and a little further away from Ponte Vecchio than our other Florence selections. However, the quiet residential area will give you a sense of the real Florence which few visitors experience, and a walk towards the Ponte Vecchio - along the Arno - is a must.

No dolce vita.

By hpoeschl312796 based in Moscow

Stayed May 2009

I Liked

(this review might be slightly influenced by the fact that we arrived to the una vittoria after having stayed 5 days in the bulgari hotel in milan, which is run by ritz carlton) the una hotel vittoria is the perfect example how not to do it. chain hotel invests money into the "boutique hotel style" and unfortunately does not invest the time into training the personel up to a suitable standard. everything smells chain and corporate. the oh so friendly reception (oh mister poeschl, how was your trip) does neither remember you face nor your roomnumber 15 minutes later. the very praised restaurant did serve the worst grilled fish i ever had (overcooked and cold, the vegetables were microwaved leftovers) and eventhough i did not touch the fish explaining why, i was charged for the dish. if you want to play fancy hotel, then you better have a look at the rules. and maybe put the guest first and not a fancy look with no substance behinde.

Overall rating: Good

I Liked

The hotel was clean, had a great breakfast, staff was very friendly and able to give good directions and recommendations for the area. They have a shuttle service to and from the train station that is very helpful.

I Disliked

I realized later that I sent my VAT forms early (without the customs stamp) and I wish the receptionist at the hotel would have warned me when I gave the envelopes to her to send! I was out of a lot of $$ by not having those. I didn't know!

What is the Tablet Hotels Meter?

The Tablet Hotels Meter is a running average of the ratings given to a hotel by registered Tablet Hotels users who have actually stayed at the hotel. The scores are based on responses to our feedback survey, which is sent automatically to every user after the completion of a hotel stay booked through Tablet Hotels. We receive responses every day, the scores change accordingly - in real-time.

Tablet Hotels hotel ranking meter

This way we can be absolutely certain of the integrity of the rating process - on some travel websites, there is nothing preventing the General Manager from giving his own hotel a perfect score, or the concierge from across the street, posing as a dissatisfied guest, giving his competitor all zeros. You have probably seen questionable user reviews on other websites, whether flowery advertising copy written by fake guests, or vague negative attacks written anonymously. You will not see any of this on Tablet Hotels.

How does a hotel remain a Tablet Hotel?

We have selected nothing but the most unique and extraordinary properties from around the world, but circumstances at individual hotels can change quickly. Therefore it is up to our customers to inform us if one of our properties has taken a turn for the worse. The Tablet Hotels Meter works on a 20-point scale, and for a hotel to keep its place on Tablet Hotels, the magic number is 15.

This is not just an arbitrary figure; we have two years' worth of data, from past user feedback, and we have found that the hotels whose scores drop below 15 are those experiencing recurring problems, and guest detailed reports reflect the same serious concern, whether it be service, room quality, noise or something else.

The Tablet Hotels Meter will not display a score until we have had at least two customers rate the hotel. This way one person's unfortunate stay cannot carry too much weight. And once five guests have returned their verdicts, the rating becomes a more scientific measure of the opinion of the average guest. At this point, if the hotel's average overall score drops below 15, the hotel will be automatically removed from the site.

Your opinion really does count; in this case, it is the only thing keeping the hotels you visit on the site. On a more positive note, the hotels with top scores are featured in our "Tablet 10" lists. And as a side benefit, this system will encourage hotels to extend their best level of service to Tablet Hotels users - we turn every Tablet Hotels client into a reviewer!

Hotel Review and Travel Recommendation Guidelines

This is a moderated forum; all hotel reviews and travel recommendations must follow the Tablet Hotels and Tablet Talk guidelines below. We will not publish a hotel review or a travel recommendation unless it is:

Original

Please don't quote from other sources or otherwise reprint material published elsewhere, including your own comments on other travel review sites.

Relevant to other travelers

This is not a forum for general political, ethical or religious opinions. Nor is it a place for questions or comments directed to property representatives, Tablet Inc. staff, or other Tablet Talk members - we encourage you to use private channels for such communications. It should go without saying that we don't want to see personal insults or language that a reasonable observer might deem offensive. And please keep your submissions current - no need to mention a trip that happened more than two years ago.

A personal opinion or recommendation

Hotel reviews are restricted to verified guests who booked their stays through TabletHotels.com. Likewise, travel recommendations must be based on first-hand experience. No recommendations or reviews written by owners or managers posing as guests, or by current or past employees, or second-hand hearsay from others. If your friend/cousin/neighbor has something to contribute then you should invite them to join the community so that they may share their opinions themselves.

We do not allow recommendations to be written based on incentives from property owners/management. Offering discounts or upgrades or other special treatment in exchange for reviews is very much against the rules, and any property found to be engaging in this sort of thing will be dealt with most unforgivingly.

Non-commercial

Comment spam is a serious problem, and we will reject even the most borderline cases. No commercial web address, e-mail addresses or contact information. No promotional material of any kind. We reserve the right to reject any URL for any reason.

Written with standard e-mail etiquette

This is a forum with a broad readership; don't assume that hotel owners in Milan and travel agents in Guangzhou are familiar with the latest slang and shorthand, or that typographic symbols will be rendered properly across all platforms. Please don't shout in ALL CAPS - in general, keep it readable. And for various boring technical reasons, HTML tags and most forms of text and paragraph formatting, even simple lists, will not survive the posting process.

In addition

It's our party

Tablet Inc. reserves the right to remove any hotel review or travel recommendation at its sole discretion, for violation of the above guidelines or for any other reasons.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.

The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
