This was my third holiday in Florence. However, this was my 18 year old daughter's first visit to Florence and we were staying six days. I would recommend The Hotel La Gioconda for the first time visitor looking for a basic hotel. The hotel is an easy walk of about ten minutes from the Santa Maria Novella Station. The hotel... more

I was here with my family during 4 nights, my parents and my two sisters. I did the booking thourgh internet in the web page of the hotel as they had a lot of special offers. We chose an offer for 540 euros with breakfast included. I think that this was really cheap because of the number of the nights... more

Over the last three years we have stayed at four or five 3 star hotels in Italy and have never been anything less than delighted with any of them. I booked La Gioconda without reading the reviews on Trip Advisor and, when I did get around to reading them I became pretty apprehensive. On the positive side, the owner who... more

We booked this hotel via the Ryan Air website for an overnight stay in Florence during our two week holiday in Tuscany. In my opinion this is a very pleasant and convenient place to stay right in the centre of the city and you are just a stones throw from everything you want to see, The room was small but... more

By far the worst Hotel I have ever stayed in. We were there in June and the staff were unhelpful and the facilities very poor. we couldn't wait to get to our next destination, which was wonderful. more

If you're looking for accommodations in Florence convenient to the train station and the Duomo, Hotel La Gioconda is a great choice. The hotel is located less than five minutes walk from each on a busy street with other hotels and restaurants. We (one adult with two children in their early 20's) stayed for eight days in late July and... more

Hotel La Gioconda is very well located being some 200m from the train station and 200-300m from the Duomo. However the hotel is not of a 3 star standard. We paid an average of 73 euro a night for a double room and think we were lucky as other rooms were worse. The hotel is a rabbit warren of corridors... more

This dump was classed as a 3* hotel but it was no better than 1* and I'm being kind at that. First impressions were not great - dirty carpeting, no lift and stand-alone air-con that was noisy. The room was very basic and the bathroom though en-suite was cramped. After walking around central Florence and seeing other 3* hotels it... more

Me and a friend just returned from a three night stay at La Gioconda and to be honest it was better than i expected especially for the reviews ive seen on here. Check in took literally one minute and we where off to our room, which was surprisingly big for a standard European hotel. The hotel is very easy to... more
