“Okay for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel was decent for the price we paid. Florence is an expensive city.

The room was clean, though it did not have AC as advertised. Luckily, you could open the windows (and there wasn't much street noise) and it was mid-May when we stayed, so it wasn't too warm in the evening.

The hotel did have free wi-fi and breakfast was included in the price. The breakfast was decent, but not anything to rave about. Not quite as good as the breakfast buffets in other hotels throughout Europe, but way better than a continental breakfast you'd get at a US hotel.

The staff was helpful. It was easy and not far to get to and from the bus stop. They did sell bus tickets at the hotel desk. Before you get on the bus to get to the hotel, make sure that you purchase a bus ticket (they're sold at any number of little shops/stands) since it is a little bit cheaper than buying from the driver.

“disappointing food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel as this was booked via Carranni tour, when we did the group tour. Place was clean and we had buffett breakfast of cold pastries. The garden gives you a place to relax and you cant hear the noise from the street. Dinner was quite unappetising, pasta was bad considering you are in Italy!
Wifi is free! It is not a 4-star hotel, more like 3-star but I suppose the higher the rating, the higher you get charged for the city tax! No porter to help with luggage so be prepared to carry your own. Lifts are very small. No coffee/tea making facilities.

“Good Value for Money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel in November 2010 and was slightly worried after reading some of the reviews. I found the hotel to be ideal. It was far enough of the centre to be quiet but close enough to get in and out easily, There is a good bus service from just outside the hotel which gets you into the centre in approx. 15-20 minutes. The staff were friendly, the rooms nice and the breakfast decent. We didn't eat evening meal in the hjotel so I can't comment on that. I did stay in in more central hotel many years ago in Florence and found the rooms tiny. These were of a reasonable size

“Surprisingly great service !”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2011

We were stuck in Florence for 3 nights (planned was 1) due to heavy snow in December. The situation in the city was quite chaotic, it hadn't snowed this much here for decades - so we were told. The airport was closed, and we had to rebook and add two additional nights. This is not a special hotel, built in the 1970s I would say, very reasonably priced though. It is quite a walk to the city centre (45 mins or so). It would be fair to add that the rooms were very clean, and the breakfast was OK, too. Internet access was unavailable and in repair during our stay.
We were really positively surprised when we saw how hard especially the reception staff worked to make sure all guests were taken care off well - imagine the number of people wanting to rebook flights, trains, taxis etc). They were very helpful and went out of their way for everyone. This really made all the difference for us on this occasion.

“Loved Floerence but would have rather been close to center city”

We were with a large tour group and the hotel had many groups. Tiny elevator and was glad I was only on the third floor because I had to take the stairs. Too far from the center city to walk; we paid 11eu for a taxi. Hotel is clean but old Bath tub was very deep but made it difficult to safely get in and take a shower. The tour arranged for dinner there two nights and the food was just average. The breakfast was not as good as other hotels on the tour. On the plus side, one block away was one of the best bakeries in Italy. Staff was friendly
