I stayed there and I liked it. The room was clean, quiet and spacious, Staff was helpful and gave us directions. It was located close to the airport. I tooked the airport shuttle bus (6 euro) to the airport and walked to the hotel. If you walk to the hotel be careful there is a big highway to cross.

We stayed at the Hotel Franchi last week, we found the hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and very good value for money, we would definitely stay here again.(Stroude family from Cardiff, Wales)

I arrived in the evening and saw a beautiful nice hotel, but no rooms left. The staff agreed to let me use the Internet for free to find a hotel ne'er by. They called the hotel for me and help me find a restaurant. The next day I arrived to Rome and fond out that I forgot my jacket in... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights on a Contiki trip and did not really enjoy it. The hotel was clean enough and the air conditioning worked well, but the breakfast was horrible, the elevator was far too small for our group, and the location really threw us off. First, it is quite far from central Florence (took us... More

Nothing really wrong with the hotel, but nothing particularly good. Nothing of note within walking distance, average sized room, clean, but very basic. Breakfast wasn't good, no fresh milk/juice/bread or fruit, highlight was a crossant (out of a packet). Friendly staff and decent (paid) wifi. Would be fine to stay at overnight on the way to the airport.

An early morning flight home via Frankfort necessitated an overnight stay near the Florence airport. Unfortunately, I allowed my appetite to dictate my choice of hotels. I was told not to miss the Osteria della Bistecca and its amazing T-Bone steaks. I chose the Hotel Franchi since it was within a few hundred meter from the restaurant. Good idea on... More

This was conveniently situated near the airport and we just wanted a base for a couple of days. The staff were marvellous - so helpful and nothing was too much trouble, from recomending a local restaurant (which was wonderful!) to ordering cabs or giving us directions. The rooms were clean and tidy and big enough for a couple of days.... More

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
