    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

    Very basic accomodation, nothing surrounding hotel, possible sketch neighborhood. 20-25 minute drive to downtown Florence and all attractions, but this hotel is fairly convenient to the airport...maybe 10 min drive. Breakfast was also pretty good.

    The hotel located on the walking street, dead center of La Spezia. However, only one street leads you to the hotel. Hotel stafff friendly and very helpful. Our room was very small not appropriate for longer than one night stay which was fine for my wife and I. Located very near good restaurants.Breakfast standard self service.

    ottimo hotel a buon mercato a Firenze, a 100 metri c'è la fermata del bus 29-30 o 35 che portano direttamente in centro a Firenze (capolinea alla stazione dei treni) in 15 minuti circa. Colazione a buffet ottima. Personale gentile e disponibile. Camera pulita. Ottimo per giro a Firenze di breve durata senza preoccuparsi della macchina (parcheggio custodito […] gratis davanti all' Hotel) Read more

    The staff was very nice even though they couldn't understand English very well. They were very helpful. They sell tickets to the bus at the reception. The balcony was large and the room was very clean and tidy. The location was near the Airport and this was the only reason why we chose this hotel for our last night in Italy. We thought that we can walk […] to the airport the next morning and we did, but it was hard because there were no sidewalks. So we had to run over the streets and watch out for the fast cars. At the hotel, they offered us a ride to the airport at 10 euro price. This is more than what you pay when staying at the center of Florence and taking the airport shuttle. The hotel is old. The night that we stayed there was very windy and the shades next to the windows were making a horrible noice. We had to have earplugs on. The location is far from the centre of Tuscany and the buses go... and sometimes don't. At night, we couldn't catch a bus at the bus stop near Santa Maria Novella, and we had to take a taxi instead. The room had an air conditioning machine turned off and no remote control. I guess you can receive a remote control at the reception? We didn't really need it because the night was cold anyway.
