Novotel Firenze Nord Aeroporto

Position according to the expectation. 24H reception.

This is a very old structure with plenty of technical issues. No hot water the first night. The second night the light stayed on and it was not possible for the staff to turn off.

You just want a hotel near the Florence Airport for one night before an early morning flight. I get it. You’d be better off sleeping on a park bench than stay at the Novotel. First off, everyone that worked there were very friendly and helpful. This hotel has no business being in business. It’s a dump. We were told ahead of time that they were working on getting the hot water working. I guess luke warm is their definition of hot. I had to pry off the rusty tub drain plug with a pen. The room wreaked of stale smoke, fortunately the windows open, so birds possibly flying in was worth the risk. The best part was, what looked like a star (or something) on the giant framed red square masquerading as artwork on the wall, was actually a dead moth behind the glass. So trust me, go elsewhere.

Room was a good size, the bathrooms defiently need renovating- or at least updating and hand rails placed in the bathtub to get in and out which I thought was rather dangerous. The breakfast was amazing such a large selection and everytging was fresh. The staff were more than helpful from the breakfast to the front reception.

Bathroom- very old and damp with no grab rails to get in and out of the shower/tub.
