Stayed three nights in mid May in this fine old building with a quiet, relaxing rear garden. It is an ideal spot for exploring the wonderful heart of the city on foot. All reception staff were very helpful, with excellent English. Breakfast was adequate (no fruit or eggs, and all drinks from machines). Room & bathroom were very clean. The... More

Hotel Royal is a beautiful villa built in the 1700's, which is now a hotel. There is a big garden and pool (which they charge 8 euro per day for), which would be good in Summer. Our room on the first floor had plenty of room, comfortable beds and a good sized bathroom, with plenty of hot water and fluffy... More

This hotel is in a beautiful old villa, with a nice seating area on the ground floor. However its the only place I've been asked to pay to use the swimmingpool! This needs to change, I don't see the point when the pool is there and hardly anyone uses it. That's just bad service. Some of the staff speak very... More

We found this to be a really nice hotel. It's slightly out of the City centre which has the advantage that it's relatively inexpensive and relatively quiet. We travelled by train and it's a bit of a walk from the station, but you can walk from here to the Centre in about 20 minutes. We found the staff to be... More

Really enjoyed the experience. Apart from the fact that Firenza is posibly one of the most beautiful cities in the world this Hotel was inexpensive, welcoming, excellently paced to walk to all the main points of interest, quiet, clean and actually quite grand given it's modest budget. The food was fine and although for some strange reason they do charge... More

I have to say this is the most random place i have ever stopped. When we checked in the man on reception informed us that we had to pay 25 euros to park, and 5 euros each to use the pool... He then told us we had a very nice room and took us to a 'suite' out the back.... More

The room was large enough to accomodate us all with a large bathroom and his & hers sinks. The room... More

I have been here in this hotel for 5 or 6 times. Nice rooms, great location. Easy to find, nice walk to the main attractions of the city. Nice breakfast room. Good service. A place to recommend. Next time in Florence I'll come back to this hotel again.

We stayed here in mid July as part of a package to see the MotoGP at Mugello, and read the previous reviews with a sense of trepidation. However the hotel was a delight. We had the room adjoining the main block, and it was delightful. Large, airy, and such a change from the usual hotel box you get. The breakfasts... More

The room we ve got for 75 euros( not including parking) was very small.The staff was moving furniture in the morning,and we could hear all noises from inside. The breakfast was very poor, at around 9.15 almost everything was finished and we have barely obtained the refills. Some of the staff were rude. ( unappropriate comments and attitude).
