    The staff was friendly and ensured a smooth check-in process, despite initial concerns about app usage. Spacious rooms and a charming bar area added to the experience. Plus, only a short distance to the airport makes it a fantastic choice for travelers.

    Great location for an early flight from Florence airport, with very reasonable shuttle service.

    Clean rooms Big balcony Airport shuttle

    Online booking offers shuttle for 50 euros, wait and book at the desk for only 10 euro

    Had really nice 1 night here. The room was average sized and functional with large balcony and I enjoyed amazingly kind staff. The location was good and perfect, not too far from Santa Maria a Peretola. You could walk to a market and shops. Finally, the hotel's restaurant was good for dinner.

    Well, the area was not so nice overall.

    noise issues

    The noise levels are a real issue. Sounds from neighboring rooms penetrate easily. The hotel lacks proper reception and has difficulties with access, requiring navigation through busy roads without sidewalks. The room's amenities are basic, with a kettle provided but no tea or coffee, and breakfast options are both limited and costly.

    Desk Staff were very helpful with our booking and making Taxi arrangements to get to the Airport. The Hotel allowed us to store luggage before the room was ready and worked hard to get us in earlier than usual.

    Location is good for accessing the Airport but access to the Hotel is more difficult for travelers. It is squeezed in between several high rise buildings.

    clean rooms
    helpful staff
    comfortable bed
    frustrating check-in

    Clean, quiet rooms drew me in immediately. The bed offered a comfortable night's sleep. I appreciated the proximity to the tram station. The helpful staff made a big difference, quickly resolving a hiccup with the app for check-in. The breakfast, with fresh-pressed juice and pastries, displayed thoughtful offerings at a reasonable price. Navigating the entrance due to the app's requirements and limited onsite personnel was frustrating, especially when I struggled to connect my phone for access. Another downside was the distance from restaurants, requiring a bit of a trek to find dining options. Despite these hiccups, the patio provided a lovely space to unwind after my day.

    I liked the young woman who worked the desk and bar the night I got in. She was one of the most helpful people I meet in Italy. Near starvation after traveling all day, she got on the phone and rounded me up food and had it delivered to the hotel. All with a big smile. Thanks JAH

    Location, no Resterunt near by.

    This was my second stay. The staff are wonderful, genuinely friendly and helpful. Close to airport though a bit hard to find without a very detailed map. Free parking. Direct city bus into center city. Would definitely stay again.

    No complaints about hotel. We got seriously lost trying to find it in the dark. Phone number is not up to date on Bookings.com.

    The purpose of the booking was to get an hotel close to the airport. So, Franchi is one of the closest. No problem. The reception people are really kind and extremely helpful. They gave us all relevant informations about how to go in the city, etc.

    The hotel is located close to a motorway and a railroad. So, it is really noisy, even with closed windows. Inside the hotel we could also hear what happened in the adjacent rooms... And finally the surrounded area is also not very peaceful...
