This was a bad surprise. It's true that the town was full and that this was the only available room in town but nothing can justify how bad this experience was. The entrance looks like one of those shabby old places from the 70's but it could be alright if you have a decent room. Our room was old, dirty... More

We booked this hotel at the last minute for an extra night in Florence at a cost of only 28 euros for a double with breakfast. It is not in the prettiest part of Florence, thats for sure, however is only a 10 minute walk to the station, 5minutes to Accademia and Duomo, and has plenty of cheap eateries on... More

By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! And I travel quite a bit. Im very shocked having just checked their website, to find very nice photographs of this hotel, showing a very clean and tidy place. THEY ARE NOT GENUINE!!! The hotel does not look like this now (we visited 3 weeks ago). The hotel now, is... More

Our first problem on arriving at this hotel was that there is no place to park and drop off your suitcases. We stopped in an area that was prohibited and waited for an employee from a nearby garage (service offered by the hotel staff) to come for the car. Rather expensive compared to other European cities - 24 euros a... More

If you don't want to spend much money, because you're spent most of the time outside of the hotel, this hotel is a good option. It is in the city centre. Rooms are oke, clean (but not the most clean location), breakfast is a buffet with enough choice. More

The hotel probably needs some renovation but otherwise was fine. The front office staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make things more pleasant. Having originally been placed into a room where one of the beds was broken, they immediately profusely apologised and changed rooms to a much bigger and nicer room at no extra charge.... More

We had booked at room for a family of four for two nights at the Hotel Ginori al Duomo. When we arrived, they said they did not have a room for us but had a room booked instead for us at this place. What a disappointment. Our family room consisted of a large room with four single beds lined up... More
