Staff are a bit surly, but maybe that is their personality. There is a computer that has the Internet but one day it did not work. You can take a bus to get to the downtown. Breakfast is OK, but nothing special, except the coffee was good. There is a big supermarket nearby that you can walk to. It is... More

The Hotel First is not a the 4 star hotel that you may find in the centre of Florence but it has few things that makes it more attractive and the best value for money as long as you are travelling by car LOCATION; Just at the exit of the A1 Motorway Florence-Calenzano and 15 minutes from the centre of...

This hotel is around 25 minutes from the centre of Florence. On first impression it seems very modern and new, but it becomes quickly evident that it is an old hotel, that has been done up, particularly the lifts, that are very 1960’s. The reception area is not overly large, but contains seating, and a bar off to the side,... More

We were here for one night during a visit to Florence. Despite requesting a nonsmoking room, we were assigned a room reeking strongly of smoke. We went to the front desk to ask for a new room and were now assigned to a room overlooking the pool. A Contiki tour group was also booked in the hotel that night so... More

I stayed just 1 night there, I me friendly staf people, and in the restaurant inside the hotel fine food. Outside the hotel there is a calm swimming pool and Florence can be easily reached by 20 minutes trains ( it is better take a taxi to reach the train station) More

I accidentally booked at this hotel thinking it was another hotel with a similar name that was also in Florence. Anyways, this hotel is in the middle of nowhere. A bus from the city centre and Santa Maria Novello (main train station) will drop you off right in front of the hotel...in 40-50 minutes. You will waste a lot of... More

Terrible Hotel, avoid it. The room was so old, the walls were dirty and disgusting. The bed inconfortable. The bathroom so tiny that we couldn't be 2 in the same time ! I really don't know how the stars are given in Italy ! Far away to be a 4 * hotel. The few pros : - Service and Brekfast... More

Our travel agent booked us here and told us it was near enough Florence. And if you had a car, it is. But we didn't, and relied on waiting for a bus to take us there. The bus stop was close enough (in front of Carrefour, which is near the hotel), but it is a 45 minute ride away with... More
