We stayed here on our last night in Florence as it was close to the airport and we had a 6:00AM flight. (Note the airport does not open until 4:30AM) The staff are very friendly and helpful. We checked in early and they worked hard to get the room ready for us quickly. The room was adequate with everything we... More

The worst hotel I've ever been to, room was smelly and a bit old, not very clean. Hotel is in a noisy area, there is an airport and two rails close to it. The worst breakfast ever, once the salami was gone (at around 8 o'clock), they have not refilled it again, so you could pick a toast bread and... More

I was disappointed by overall service provided by this hotel. Wi-fi in the room didn't work (and that was the main reason for selecting this place) and 5 EUR extra for buffet breakfast was wasted money The building is bit worn down, and the bathroom was bit small for my perspective. The price was on the low end , but... More

It's not your usual 5 star fancy hotel but rather, it is a small charming hotel with a great location. The best part of the hotel - the staff - they made me feel geniuely welcomed. It's my first time in Florence and obviously doesn't know my way around and worse part was one of the tours I had booked... More

The hotel is not high end but VERY well cared for and the staff is terrific! We had a lovely room with deck for under $90 --free WiFi. A 300 yard walk got us to a bus stop that for 1 euro (buy bus tickert at hotel) got us to the Florence RR station in the thick of it all!... More

Flight leaving at 6am from Peretola. 3 minutes by taxi. Walls are thin. No more to say....except that there is a great restaurant across the street. La Bistecca is a genuine Tuscan restaurant with simple good food. The only others in this restaurant were Italian. The staff at Franchi were helpful and friendly. More

Chose this hotel because of its close location to the airport as we arrived late in the evening. We had planed to stay only one night as we the next day would drive to Pisa. The location was perfect (close to the airport) and the price was very reasonable. No complaints. just don`t expect a 5 star hotel:-) More

We stayed at Hotel Franchi (Frankie) on 3 occasions over a week or so due to travelling in and around Florence. We chose it in the first instance as It is very close to the airport with free parking (very handy if you have a car). We went back the other two times due to availability and cost – we... More

The Hotel Franchi is pretty basic, no frills here. Unless you are on a very tight budget it might be best to shop around. More

This was not easy to find even with a GPS but it was worth it. It has clean rooms, friendly helpful staff and is 5 minutes from the airport. We had a very early flight and the hotel ordered a taxi that came right on time. I definately would recommend it for this purpose. More
