Hotel Franchi

We booked online but when we got there they told us that the room had been booked by someone else and we would have to find somewhere else for the second night. We ended up being able to stay the second night, but in a single room and they wanted to charge extra for a smaller room. But I was upset and after half an hour of going back and forth, they […] ended up letting us stay in the smaller room and not charging more. The hotel room was lovely and spacious. The lobby was being painted at the time, and some of the rooms are under going upgrades. The site says that it is very close to the middle of town, which was not accurate. It was out of town in a residential area and hard to find. The locals told us it was not the safest area. There is a bus that you can catch that is about a block and a half away. It took us about 20 minutes to get into town that way. Breakfast was wonderful and plenty of food. But it does end early at 9:30. All in all it was a good stay and they were as nice as can be expected. It was just extra stress with the room being double booked, that would have been nice to avoid. Read more

I would say that the quality of the Franchi was the lowest of all our 3 star experiences. The room was okay size and the shower bigger than most but there was a dingy smell to the room. The sheets were very clean and the toiletries also better than most. However, the walls seemed very thin and we could hear people talking at 3am even if they were speaking […] quietly. Also, it seemed like the cab driver started our fare at 10 Euros. The hotel should make sure that the taxis don't cheat their customers. The fare came out much higher about 8 Euros than the hotel told us it would. I would only stay here if you are going out of Florence airport early in the morning. Read more

I am happy with the hotel, in general. It was a good fresh breakfast, clean bed. Very very friendly stuff. not convenient location, so what....I took taxi, 20 minutes to the city center....Lots to see in Florence, the purpose of this hotel- good breakfast, clean bed and a friendly stuff...

The hotel looks like it's seen better days, but it wasn't expensive and the beds were clean. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful and pleasant too. I was slightly put off by the fact that clean bath towels were left on a stand very very close to the toilet! Surely they can find a more hygienic place?

I chose this hotel because it was the nearest one to the airport. For some reason, I had expected shuttle service (though I realise I was mistaken in this). So the taxi fare for the very short journey was 15 euros each way. In future, therefore, I'd stay in downtown Florence and get the airport bus (4 euros each way) if I were trying to save money. […] There was no restaurant in the hotel and the nearest one was a short walk away, but was worth the walk.

Petit dejeuner compris mais fin du service a 9h15 Ne pas choisir cette formule en vacances Le responsable a ete cooperant Le quartier peripherique de la ville dans laquel se situe l'hotel ne reflete pas la beaute de Florence Le wifi ne fonctionne que dans les couloirs de cet hotel rationnel qui ressemble a une ancienne caserne sans charme

Considerando Firenze, Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. La fermata del bus per raggiungere il centro/stazione é a 3 minuti a piedi e si raggiunge in 10-15 minuti, traffico permettendo. camera pulita nonostante temperature esterne diurne di oltre 32 gradi,la camera,con condizionatore, ha mantenuto temperature accettabili.

Hotel correct. Environnement tres calme. L'hotel est excentré de la ville mais c'etait tres bien pour nous.
