c-hotels Ambasciatori location is great. It is opposite the train station and about 10 minutes walk to the City center! We traveled by train to other places outside Florence so we found it helpful accessing the trains and shopping center in the basement of the station.

I don't understand how this is a four star hotel.. Its dated and lacking in maintenance. A couple of staff members were not helpful. We had 2 x twin rooms. Room 1 - a/c not working and strange stale odour smell in room and lift Room 2 the a/c was not great. We changed room 1 on second night, a/c 100% better. Good location for exploring Florence and train station. Best resturants close by as hotel for recommendations. De Lion.

Dear customer, we thank you for your numerous and detailed reports, even if we do not share them all. However, your criticisms will help us to perfect our already planned renovation of the entire hotel, which has already begun. We are aware that we have a lot of work to do to go back to being the Hotel we have always been and that due to the forced closure linked to the pandemic we had to start almost from scratch, so we hope for a minimum of understanding. We invite you to follow our progress and we are confident that your opinion about our services and our professionalism will change. We wish you a happy day. Lapo Bonciani - Customers relations manager.

Great location, it’s opposite the Mestre train station on the mainland and not St Lucia which is on the city center. Helpful especially to just leave bags even after check out, excellent service and staff helped with any issues we had.

Let's start with what I liked. Location is GREAT. Near train station and close to all sorts of shopping- which my kids appreciated. There is also an excellent Steak restaurant next door. The breakfast buffet is decent and they offer free water in the room. The not so good "stuff": the elevators are extremely small & SLOW!! Traveling around Italy we've noticed all elevators are TINY! The bad thing about small elevators- all you need is one person departing with luggage. That's it. You're waiting forever for an open elevator. Next, no water offered in main lobby. What is up with this???? July is HOT (I'm sure hotel management knows this) why can't there be a water station for guests to fill up water bottles?? Me & my 2 daughters were waiting for a tour pick up and we drank almost half our water bottles. I asked the Front Desk girl if I could purchase water from them and she suggested I go back to my room (on the 8th floor) and grab the water they leave in the fridge. By this time, I was getting use to customer service totally "sucking" in Italy! I ran down to a nearby deli and got water. GET A WATER STATION SET UP!!. The restaurant in the hotel has a very limited menu for dinner. After a whole day of touring we decided to dine in and get an early sleep. I ended up with an appetizer for dinner & waited till morning. The rooms were a decent size and surprisingly the AC worked really well for us. Bottom line - Don't expect much, but better then the other hotels we stayed at in Italy.…

Dear customer, we are pleased to have managed to make your stay in Florence quite pleasant and we thank you for having positively commented on our position and some services, but also for having provided us with your valuable recommendations that will help us to refine some aspects that you would have liked as a workstation of water in the hall. However, we inform you that at our bar or in the breakfast room you could have filled your bottles or bought them. Then there are some clarifications to be made, with due respect, for example we do not have a restaurant and we only serve simple snacks at our bar and we do not have 8 floors but only 5. There are 6 lifts available, which can hold 5/6. people each. They are certainly not very large, but in Florentine palaces it is not easy to find spaces to install larger ones. In the hope of being able to welcome you again in the future, we send you our cordial greetings. Lapo Bonciani - Customers relations manager.

Location was great but hotel is bad. Air-conditioneding was not working well. Lifts are very tiny and old and only one takes you down to reception. Long walk to room. Water in the morning is cut off for about half hour. Staff are friendly and tried to help with ac but did not manage to fix it. Breakfast was ok

Dear customer, we are a little surprised by your score considering that you were happy with our location, the friendliness of our staff and the quality of our breakfast. Maybe you could have been a little more generous to us. However, your recommendations will be taken into serious consideration, even if we will not be able to do much on the distance you had to travel from our outermost wing, as the hotel is very large. In addition, there are 6 lifts available and all of them can hold a maximum of 6/8 people, so they seem sufficient. Regarding the air conditioning, we inform you that the temperature detected in your room was 22 degrees, more than enough when there are 40 degrees outside, an Italian law prevents the systems from being set to lower temperatures, (you can easily find out with a search on the Internet). We wish you a happy day. Lapo Bonciani - Customers relations manager

The hotel rooms were comfortable, air-conditioned and sound-insulated, this, together with a friendly staff and a great location near the station and Santa Maria de Novella made the hotel a perfect choice for us. There are also a number rof great bard and restaurants within easy walking distance.

I was treated with racism, as a brown skin person, the manager saw me come back to my room and sent an employee to ask for my card and room while my white friends can go in and out without asking. This was the first time I’m treated like this in Europe

Dear Customer, we categorically reject your accusation of racism and you knows it very well, because we pointed this out to you immediately, that our control was a normal security measure that a hotel as large as ours must take with any type of person who enters and exits the hotel. Ethnicity, skin color, religion, have no relevance for us and it could not be otherwise, because our customers come from all over the world. We hope that you will reflect well on what you has written and that this absurd accusation will be removed. Best regards. Lapo Bonciani - Customers relations manager

We booked this hotel as it had many positive reviews, unfortunately it wasn’t the case with our experience. We stayed at the hotel for 7nights, on arriving at the hotel there was no one to greet us, I then saw a young gentleman wearing t.shirt and denim jacket and I asked him if he knew how I could check in, not realising he was a staff member and this was there very casual uniform. On checking in he asked for our passports, which I was surprised as I had already scanned copies across to make in check in quicker. Once check in was completed he gave us our keycard and sent us on our way. We found our room, and it was a very spacious room, unfortunately looking closer I discovered a draw on the floor, dirty bedding, dirty bathroom and blood splattered on the bathroom tiles. We had a bath rather than a shower, but this wasn’t great, as we prefer showers and the hand held shower would not stay up and as there was no screen, water went everywhere. Also our air conditioning didn’t work, which on a very hot day made the room very uncomfortable. We took some photos and reported it to reception, he told us that the air conditioning was down throughout the hotel and they were trying to fix it, he also said he was happy to change our room in the morning. The following morning, we repacked and moved rooms, although our room wasn’t available until later in the day, as we were out sightseeing this didn’t cause any issues. When we checked into our 2nd room, we noticed it was much smaller, and also had a balcony which I was pleasantly surprised, until I saw the view! The air conditioning was in full working order, and the room was cleaner. We both found the beds very comfy to sleep in. Breakfast at the hotel is very basic, but does give you something to start of your day. I would advise that if you have food allergies or gluten free, that you bring in your own food, as I never found anything suitable apart from rice cakes and fresh fruit, when I did ask if anything else was available, I was shown the allergie folder. The hotel location is what I feel was the best part of the hotel. You are within walking distance to all the main attractions, and directly opposite the tram and train station. We did make use of this and took day trips out to Pisa and Siena. My husband was disappointed that he had advised the hotel that this was a birthday surprise away and if they could do something to make it special, but unfortunately this wasn’t taken into consideration. I also feel that the reception staff members need to be a bit more welcoming. They never smiled, or said good morning or good evening, although the cleaning staff did this every day. If you are happy with a basic hotel with great location, then this hotel is great. But if you are use to 4/5* hotel with that extra special detail, then don’t come here.…

Dear Mrs. Lisa , we offer you our sincere apologies for not being able to meet your expectations and we assure you that your reports will be taken into serious consideration, to ensure that certain errors and inefficiencies are not repeated in the future, given that our usual standard it has always been very different. However, we would like to specify some small considerations in our favor. For several years our hotel chain has decided to eliminate the old official uniforms and make our employees wear more casual clothes that help eliminate barriers with the customer and offer a younger and more modern service. On our breakfast buffet there are over 30 different sweet and savory products and on request we have a wide choice of gluten free products. A report from you would have been enough and the always attentive staff would have done so. We are sorry that you did not like the bathtub, it is usually more welcome, but even in this case, if you had reported it to us, we would have immediately satisfied you. Regarding air conditioning, you were unlucky and we are sorry. Unfortunately that day our system broke down and the technicians worked all night to repair it, it was an unpleasant but unpredictable unexpected event, as maintenance is performed regularly. Our staff tried to apologize, but there was nothing they could do to resolve the situation quickly. We don't justify them for the attitude, but they too were working under stress. In any case, we admit that we are having difficulty in resuming the usual rhythms after two years of pandemic, but all the managers and staff are giving their all to quickly return to the quality that we have always had and that has always distinguished us. The property is aware and has already planned many renovations that will make our hotel shine again as it deserves and we are reorganizing all the staff. We hope to have a second chance to show you that our professionalism and attention to the customer are certainly better than those experienced in your unfortunate experience. Best regards Lapo Bonciani - Customers relations manager.

Great hotel, nice and helpful staff. The rooms were spacious, they upgraded us to a room overlooking the dom which was a great surprise. Breakfast is good includes all the basics. The hotel is right next to the main station and 10 min walk from city center, very good location. I'd definitely recommend this hotel
