Hotel Il Granduca - Florence

Pros: clean, quiet, helpful and friendly staff. Nice balcony. Good a/c (key during August!) Decent breakfast - pastries, cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice. Cons: no major ones. Room was quite small but fair for the price I suppose. Bathroom was a bit shoddy: shelf under mirror was about to fall off the wall; shower was super small. Good place if you want […] somewhere non-luxurious to crash comfortably. Read more

the owner is very nice, helpful and polite. the worst for us were the bad beds - old and uncomfortable. after a long day of walking and being outside you need a good rest and this beds give you nothing but pain. the bathroom is small and not quite smart arranged but functions. the windows are old and don't block the noise from the street.

It was very nice and clean. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was good and fresh. Our room opened to a nice patio with little tables to relax and enjoy the sun and view. I would go back and recommend without any problems =) A little walk from the river and shopping but worth the distance!

Please do yourself a favor. Avoid this hotel. The worst of Italian Hospitality. Far from all sites and station. Extremely noisy at night.

Room was cleaned and staff was very friendly and helpful. Didn't like shower which took over the whole bathroom. You could shower while sitting on the toliet. Floor was slippery afterwards and no counter room to put toliet articles on. Liked area away from the crowds of people.

A nice little 3 star hotel, they provide you with comfortable bed and breakfast. Air conditioned although make sure you keep all the windows closed at all the times, as Florence has a lot of mosquitos, I'd advice you to take some insect repellant spray or cream. The staff are friendly and the hotel is situated about 15 mins walk from the centre of town. […] The showers are just about big enough for a single person to fit in, but it'll do for a short run. All in all decent hotel or decent price. Read more

Our room was classed as standard which we had selected but bears very little resemblence to those on your website. The room was clean with comfortable beds and it was a very cool,quiet and peaceful retreat after the bustle of Florence City. However it was very much in need of decorating and refurbishing.There were only two small windows with shutters,one […] of which could not be reached and the other only just about reachable so it appeared rather dark and depressing so we always needed the light on.There was also a very awkward,quite steep step up into the toilet and shower room. The breakfast choice was rather disappointing.There was no fresh fruit,only plain yogurt and only 2 choices of cereal. The receptionist was very polite and extremely helpful. Having stayed in a very good 3 star hotel in Padua before travelling onto Florence the difference was very marked.So how, I wonder are the hotels rated the same when there is such a difference in the quality.

This is a charming small hotel about 25 minutes walk from the main station. The neighborhood is quite nice and the staff was professional. My room was a small single and the bed was very small for my 6'4" height. Although it was a non-smoking room there was a distinct smell of smoke. I was able to sleep with the windows open which was quite refreshing. […] The breakfast included was very good. Read more

Hotel was about a 25min brisk walk from the historic centre of Florence in a quiet side street, so was not convenient to drop back to for a rest during the day - you have to stay out all day. The hotel was "OK" but dingy if not depressing - all brown and dull lighting. Small cafe nearby otherwise residential so nothing to do once back at the hotel - […] and no life or anywhere to relax in the hotel at all. However, good breakfast and friendly and helpful staff who spoke enough English. Read more

Overall this hotel represented value for money. Rooms and linen clean, freshly cooked pastries at the breakfast buffet were lovely but could have done with some fresh fruit on offer. The decor and furnishings needed refreshing in order to make this a super little hotel and a great base to explore the lovely city of Florence.

We loved this hotel, it was like stepping back in time, felt like a hollywood set. It was quite close to the main sights of Florence, but in a quite location.

Nice clean single room. Adequate breakfast included. Competent and pleasant staff. Pleasant decor with bright room and old style furniture. Location is fairly close to main amenities. Bus service is not close to hotel.

hôtel assez viellot, style années 80 (vieux meubles, vielle télé, vieux matelas...). la salle de bain est rénovée, chambre propre, pas de vue. on reconnait bien que c'est un hôtel familial qui mérite un coup de neuf.

Decisamente da evitare per scarsa qualita' dei servizi , scarsa pulizia e il personale si e' rivelato molto scortese .

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Camera pessima, reti sfondate, puzza di fumo di sigaretta, bagno da hotel a una stella, muri da imbiancare, tv non funzionante, la colazione era inclusa nel prezzo eccetto caffè espresso e cappuccio che erano a pagamento!!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Reasonably priced, well-situated and very clean. Friendly staff, moderately comfortable room, rather unimaginative breakfast. Quite OK for those who appreciate good value for money and don't wish to spend much time in the hotel.

Sarò molto sintetica e poi aggiungerò le foto. Hotel che non si merita nemmeno una stella. stanza con muri scrostati e muffa, al secondo piano sembrava di essere in cantina per l'umidità che c'era. rumorosissima, pezzi cadenti. non capisco come si possa dare un tre stelle ad un hotel così. se non volete rovinarvi una vacanza non andateci. il sito dell'hotel […] non corrisponde per niente alla realtà Read more

Condizioni della struttura estremamente piuttosto degradata. Vorrei segnalare inoltre che i servizi sono quasi inagibili da quanto sono piccoli Le foto riportate creano aspettative che non vengono corrisposte

Cet hotel mérite d'être retiré de la liste proposée, car hors la jeune fille à l'accueil ( aimable et serviable), la literie et la climatisation, tout le reste est abominable, la salle de bains lamentable, de 1.20m au carré, où pour prendre une douche, tout est trempé, du papier toilettes à vos affaires, l'eau débordant même dans la chambre, car la […] douche, c'est la salle de bains, l'odeur composite de vieux, et de produits chimiques remontant du siphon de la douche, le manager qui est aimable comme une porte de prison, et le parking de l'hotel que l'on veut vous faire payer un prix exhorbitant, sous prétexte que c'est encore plus cher dans la rue. Hotel à éviter! Read more

Prima service aan de balie. Makkelijk naar de stad te lopen, zo'n 10 minuten naar de duomo. Enige aparte was dat je ipv gewone handdoeken een soort grote theedoeken kreeg om je af te drogen, het werkte overigens wel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Je voulais surtout recommander l'hôtel pour la qualité de l'accueil : le personnel est très disponible et à l'écoute des demandes.

Hôtel moyen dans une vieille demeure. Assez proche du centre. Rien d'extraordinaire.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is in no way 3 stars! Our room were practically in a basement and the beds were worn out long ago -it was like lying in a hammock with springs in your back. The receptionist tried to help us but the other room he showed us had the same old worn out beds so he ended up finding a wooden board to put under the madres to make it a little let […] unconfortable to sleep on...

Hotel pas bien entretenu qui devait avoir 3 étoiles mais il y a 40ans. Salle de bains minuscule avec le lavabo à l'intérieur de la douche. Pas de chauffage dans les chambres de 6h du matin à 20h même s'il fait froid dehors et pas de double vitrage.L'hotelier nous dit qu'il ne peut pas en mettre lorsque nous le lui demandons. Chambres sur la rue très […] bruyantes. Literie plus que moyenne. Nous avons été très déçus par rapport aux commentaires que nous avions lu sur le site Read more
