“Lots of problems, but still loved it”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2009
1
person found this review helpful

It was October, it was warm, but the air-conditioning was off. The reason: officially it was winter. We kept the windows open, but it was noisy....the loud v-r-o-o-o-m-s of motorcycles audible until midnight. The breakfast spread was less than generous. But with the sheer friendliness of its staff, the Giardino made all those problems seem inconsequential. Wonderfully located, just a few steps away from the Santa Lucia station (the main Terminale station is a couple of kilometers away), and in close proximity to charming shops and restaurants, this hotel is recommended for the traveller who isn't too fussy about details but delights in getting the personal touch. For the record, the room was very well sized. And the bathroom wasn't as cosy as might have given me bruised elbows.

“Close to train, duomo and city centre, cheap accomodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2009

We stayed here rather than Florence as we had already visited florence on a previous trip.

Prato is a pleasant town to visit in its own right. The hotel is very close to one of the train stations of which we travelled to Florence to make connections.

The hotel in also on the main square and close to amenitied like shops and restaurants.

The hotel was incredibly well priced and included a standard breakfast.

The rooms are no longer modern but are comfortable, large and clean.

The reception and breakfast staff are very friendly.

I would recommend this hotel based upon the fact that at the price tha is paid it provided very good value for money.

This is a nice family run hotel. We were given a spacious room with a nice view , when we turned up late on a Friday night in November. Basic facilities but everything was clean and the staff friendly although they had limited English.

“Good Things Come In Small Packages”

people found this review helpful

Stayed at this hotel in May 2004. The hotel is excellently located in the down town Piazza of Prato. You are seconds away from wonderful shopping, trattoria's and architectural sites.

The Giardino hotel is simply wonderful. The Hotel doesnt Have many amenities but offers the best hospitality ever. The rooms are spacious, clean and you have a full bathroom. At the Hotel's Lobby you will find a breakfast room , where breakfast is served daily from 06:30 to about 10:00. Their breakfast is continental with wonderful assorted pastries and cheeses. If you'd like an afternoon coffee or aperetivo just ask reception.

They also have internet services, free parking, and sometimes they will also valet it for you. Make sure not to miss the outside market on Wednesdays right on Via Magnolfi all day!

You'll be in Tuscany my friends............ simple is beautiful!
