Guest Reviews

• Valentino (8/5): -
• MARCELO (9/5): -
• Marcia (10/5): -
• Daphné (5/5): Déçue - A notre arrivée la salle de bain et les toilettes de notre chambre étaient à l'extérieur. Nous avons dû négocier et payer 250 euros de plus pour avoir une chambre qui correspond au standing 4 étoiles à savoir au moins les sanitaires dans la chambre et non à côté. C'est inadmissible !!!
• Raeven (2/5): -
• Ciara (9/5): Fantastic spacious apartment - The apartment was fantastic, great space, huge comfortable beds, huge kitchen area, loved the old features in it but all modernised. The shower kept running hot and cold, only downside, everything else super
• Davide Aggazzotti (10/5): - Tutto
• joanna (9/5): -
• Raffaella (9/5): PERFETTO, TORNEREI MOLTO VOLENTIERI - BELLISSIMA STANZA, PULITISSIMA E IN OTTIMA POSIZIONE NULLA
• Gioielli (7/5): -
• Beate (10/5): -
• Anne (7/5): Logement cave reste humide malgré les efforts d aménagement. Nous avons beaucoup aimé le petit déjeuner dans hôtel qui e - Localisation, super petit déjeuner Sousplex, humide
• Antonio (9/5): Camera molto amplia e molto curata nei dettagli, vicina al centro e facilmente raggiungibile lo consiglio vivamente - Pulizia e cura nei dettagli
• Manuela (4/5): Da non ripetere - Non mi è piaciuta la distanza dall’hotel non specificata e l’assenza del bagno in camera! Assurdo e non segnalato BENE si Booking. Grande scorrettezza. Nel 2026 inaccettabile il bagno fuori dalla camera.
• GINA SOFIA (9/5): Muy buena.. - La villa estaba súper cómoda, amplia y limpia.. También muy segura.. Cuando llegamos la ubicación no era en la dirección que decía en la página.. había que ir primero a otra dirección ( donde está el hotel) y ya una vez allí nos daban la llave y un muchacho nos acompañaba a la villa.. debido a esta falta de información nosotros estuvimos un poco más de 1 hora buscando el lugar para poder ingresar..
• Guzman (10/5): -
• Francesco (10/5): -
• Isabella (9/5): Ottima struttura - Abbiamo soggiornato nella dépendance, distaccata dall'hotel. Stanza grande, confortevole e pulita. Il bagno si trovava dall'altra parte del corridoio, ma non è stato un problema per noi. Lo staff veramente gentile. Colazione super. Ci hanno lasciato la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli e di stare al caldo prima del rientro. Direi tutto ottimo.
• Nicolò (8/5): -
• Alessandra (8/5): -
• PietroPascarella (8/5): - Posizione centrale, Soluzione ben curata e staff disponibile e gentile. Tutto sommato, il soggiorno è andato abbastanza bene. Se vogliamo proprio trovare un difetto, il bagno (privato) della camera in cui ho soggiornato, non è presente in stanza, ma nel corridoio. Quindi bisognava uscire fuori dalla camera per qualsiasi evenienza riguardasse il bagno.
• Barbora (8/5): -
• Karin (8/5): - Läget
• Simon (6/5): Florence is beautiful. Good location for the conference centre and the room was functional - Good location for the conference centre and trams (10 mins walk). Quiet location in a nice square about 15 minutes walk from the Duomo. Large room, comfortable bed, passable shower although tepid water on Saturday. I was cold at night with no extra blankets available in the room. The Reception is at the Villa Royal Hotel about 6-7 minute walk round the corner. Staff were very pleasant. Good security - I needed 3 keys and an electronic key fob to get into my room. Pretty basic amenities in the room. As above, lukewarm shower on Saturday. Strange open wardrobe in a side room with a kettle in it and a boiler and window behind it The safe for valuables was tiny and completely detached at the bottom of the 'wardrobe' so could have been easily picked up and carried out of the room rendering it utterly useless.
• Olga (10/5): - La posizione e’ ottima!
• Miguel (10/5): - Nos hicieron un upgrade y nos dieron una habitación en el Villa Royal. Todo muy tranquilo, el desayuno excelente y muy buena atención. También nos permitieron dejar el equipaje de forma gratuita hasta que nos marchamos de la ciudad.
• Elif (10/5): -
• Leo (10/5): -
• Ivo (9/5): -
• Gavin (7/5): - Emplacement et propre La salle de bain est séparée de la chambre et il faut aller chercher la clef à un autre hôtel
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Mirjam (8/5): -
• Maciek (9/5): we were contented to stay - The Staff assistance was on the high-end level. They were very helpfull and naturaly kind. I appreciate that very much. I'd gave them a rise of a sallary if it was dependent on me. The venue is great to see Florence and the apartament is near train station and the city center. Thank you for your hospitality. There are small things that I could count in but hanger in the bathroom is not the key point. I think men dressing-gove should have been bigger size. I am 6 ft 9 inch so it was way to small for me alone. For my life it was perfect in size.
• Rachel (10/5): - Thank you for a wonderful stay!
• Lesley (8/5): - Staff were very nice and could not do enough for us. We could leave our luggage at main hoteol and use the pool while we were waiting on our room being ready. Taking us across to the room was also and added bonus. The room and building it was situated in was small but lovely. Bed very comfortable. The downside was that it was facing a park where alot of drunk people sleeping rough were around at night, that was unsetteling.
• Evy (9/5): - Personeel heel vriendelijk, uitstekend ontbijt en ruime kamers
• Francis (8/5): - Beautiful room high ceilings very clean
• van Munster (9/5): -
• Enrico (9/5): -
• Pepe (9/5): Fenomenal apartamento para visitar Florencia, con o sin compañía - disponer de los servicios del hotel tener el baño [aunque privado] fuera de la habitación
• Karin (7/5): - Spacious clean room. Using the pool at the hotel and the location and parking Leaving your room to get to your private bathroom
• Skrzypczak (8/5): - Appartement grand, proche du centre ville historique. Commodités de l'hôtel. Personnel attentif qui trouve des solutions aux problèmes récontrés. L'appartement est au sous-sol et une odeur d'humidité est présente lorsque la clim est hors service.
• Irfan (4/5): - no wifi, does not work. no clear directions on address.
• Alice (6/5): Alright - Nice pool and hotel Separate toilet - bathroom was relatively small
• Arturo (10/5): - Bed comfort and good location
• Dawn (8/5): - The room comfortable and clean but the area a bit noisy... Internet was good and room easily accessible for city. It was a 5 minute walk to the hotel for breakfast and to use the pool, which was an extra charge.
• sergio (9/5): -
• Thoralf (9/5): Sehr gute und ruhige Unterkunft mitten in Florenz - Sehr gute Lage, sehr ruhig, gute Klimatisierung. Schöner Aussenpool im nahegelegenen Hotel. Bad- wie beschrieben über den Gang- nicht so gut belüftet.
• Kamil (10/5): Super lokalizacja na zwiedzanie Florencji,wszędzie blisko na pieszo. Na ulicy obok mieszkania super knajpki na śniadanie - Super lokalizacja, przestronny i stylowy pokój z łazienka i garderoba Wszystko było ok
• Melany (10/5): -
• Shahad (8/5): - The location of this place was the best part, a short walk from the centre but also a little bit away from the business and crowds. The room is exactly as described and had everything we needed. The only downside was that we were not aware you had to pay an extra fee for the pool anytime you want to use it and it was one of the main reasons we chose this place. Other than that the place was easy to access and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.
• Carola (6/5): - The hotel is divided into Villa Royal and the B&B. The price for the B&B is quite high for what they offer and for the area. The room isn’t bad, but it doesn’t justify the nightly rate. Access to the pool or breakfast comes at an additional cost. It’s close to the train and bus terminal, with a stop in front of the park, but the area isn’t the nicest and it’s a 15-minute walk to the city center. I’m sure there are other places within the same price range, in a better location, and with fewer issues regarding carrying or moving luggage from the Royal. That said, Carlo did help us by sending someone to pick up our luggage, and they stored it for us at the main hotel. It’s a decent place, but not cheap or particularly comfortable.
• Zeyad (8/5): - great hotel in a great location. staff was very helpful and kind too
• Thomas (8/5): - Sehr angenehm und vergleichsweise preiswert.
• Victoria (10/5): - This apartment is stunning!! We felt like a king and queen ❤️ The beds are so comfortable, TVs you can steam on, great wifi, beautiful kitchen and such a great location to local shops and cafes and restaurants. Was so hard to leave. Would 100% book again!
• Jorge (10/5): - La ubicación, la habitación y el personal de recepción fue increíble! Sin duda nos volveríamos a quedar en ese lugar cuando regresemos a Fiorenze.
• Voutsinos (6/5): Very clean and spacious room but very noisy. - Room was very clean and room service came by every day. Also it was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The location is by a park and very close to the Duomo with restaurants and bakeries nearby. The major problem of the room was the noise, that it was basically because there is no soundproofing in the rooms. There is an automatic metal door in the building that every time it opened or closed it was heard all over the room. The building facilitates many people so the door was in constant motion during the day (7 in the morning until nightfall), so you couldn’t rest in the room during the day. Also the people living next door were heard like they were inside our room (even their tv!) and they didn’t even talk loud! Also WiFi didn’t work in all cases and had poor signal. For almost 200€ per night the room was not worth its price.
• Laura (6/5): Disappointing - It was clean and a pretty room. Nice views of the park out front. The “double bed” was more like two twin beds where you could feel the crack in the middle, although there was a big fitted shit to make it look like a double, which made it kind of uncomfortable. The staff was quite rude. Upon arrival, a couple hours before the check-in time, we asked if our room was ready and if not that we’d like to leave our bags using the luggage storage service that they offer. (The front desk is at a different hotel about a 2 minute walk from the room) The man at the front desk told us pretty quickly that it wasn’t ready and that we could leave our bags. Then when we asked where to put them he said it’s not necessary and that we can just change to a room at this other hotel where he was and that he would tell us the price difference. I told him we would like our original room and that we just wanted to leave our bags. He also asked “two twin beds right?” When we had booked a double bed, so I had to clarify twice that indeed we would have one. Then the man said well okay you can go to the room now, (pointing to another man from the staff standing there) he then said “he was just lazy to walk over there”. I found this to be quite shocking and didn’t say anything but I would not stay here again.
• Silvana (4/5): - The apartments are in a residential block. This meant that my friend and I found them very noisy! This started very early in the morning and late into the evening and sometimes in the middle of the night. People shouting, talking, furniture being moved, washing machine being used etc. I did not get a good night’s sleep whilst I was there. I did complain to the hotel - on another site - and was offered a free breakfast. Quite frankly, I don’t think this is acceptable. Also, we were not told that the hotel is on another site, meaning that we got dropped off at the B&B apartments by our taxi but could not make out where we should check in! We had to ask the hotel next door who directed us to Villa Royal. Luckily it was not raining but it meant we had to take our luggage with us. Just making everyone aware that the apartments are in a residential block!
• Renata v (8/5): Bom mas se liga na temperatura - Boa , quarto grande, uma pequena caminhada do centro, mas o que deixou a desejar foi o aquecedor… na última noite não funcionou…, eu acho isso um desrespeito com o hóspede, principalmente num local de muiiiito frio.
• Gustavo (8/5): Custo benéfico Ok - A estadia é um apartamento onde o banheiro é fora do quarto mas isso não é um problema pois vc não sai no tempo somente no corredor. Cama confortável, quarto amplo, banheiro com ducha boa e água quente. Achei que o aquecedor do quarto fraco pelo tamanho do quarto. Mas as cobertas conseguem dar conta do frio, não sei se no inverno mais intenso o quarto fique aquecido.
• Joanna (10/5): - Location is great
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ernesto (6/5): - Need of renovation
• Jane (8/5): - Had to check in at the main hotel location and then staff walked us about 2 blocks to the Villa location. Room was larger than expected and pretty clean.
• Wei Chin (6/5): - The room is clean and bed is very comfortable. We were given a small Superior room and the walls are paper thin though and the cistern was visible from outside of the ensuite which was weird and very loud when flush.
• Liliana (8/5): Excelente opción de hospedaje. - La habitación muy bonita y amplia. La limpieza es excelente ya que todos los días tienes el servicio. El lugar está súper cerca de todos los lugares turísticos y a 13 minutos de la termina de trenes. Es una excelente opción para quedarse. El único inconveniente es que nos tocó un baño privado pero fuera de la habitación y eso es incómodo sin embargo el baño estaba muy limpio y de buen tamaño .
• Abdullah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jason (10/5): - Room was great, 12 foot tall decorated ceiling, real wood floors.
• Soohwan (6/5): - It was 5 minutes long walking from the main hotel where you check in. There is no staff in the B and B building to ask for help or anything other than a phone number.
• James Scott (6/5): - I booked 2 rooms; one for husband and me, and one for sister and BiL. At first I was very disappointed that we were given the much smaller of the rooms. The I felt bad that the larger, seemingly more beautiful of the two rooms reeked of cigarette smoke. Awful. Carlo, who met us with keys was completely impersonal. He gave no information about breakfast (it’s supposed to be a BnB. He saw us struggling to operate the AC yet offered no help. We won’t stay here again.
• Rob (10/5): Comfortable stay and friendly staff - Big room, access to a pool and garden. Very accommodating staff.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - We had a truly mixed experience with this place. Checking in they did not have the correct information about our payment, they thought we already paid (with multiples reservations over a one week trip we didn't keep track as well as we should) so we payed the tax, had to come back to pay for the room, to later get an email that we didn't pay the right amount so after 3 separate payments the bill was finally settled. Then we learn that the second B in b&b must stand for bath or beyond because breakfast was not included but we did have a discount for staying at the gustehouse. So 10 € / p for 3 mornings we didn't accoint for in our planning. Come last morning they wanted to charge us for all mornings so we had to correct it since we paid each morning. Multiple staff members told us or asked if we were checking out a day earlier than we were. So alot of stress and extra money. Aside from this, the location gave good access to the city with walking distance to many major attractions, the room and bed was comfortable and aside from the fact the the "private bathroom" was in the corridor with a separate key it was fresh and beautiful. The staff was genarally helpful and nice although contact was only at check in, check out and breakfast.
• Teresa (10/5): - The hotel staff was excellent! We greatly appreciated the ability to have an early check-in so that we would be in time for our tour and we also appreciated the young man who walked us (in the rain) to our separate apartment about a block away. We had the room with the separate washroom. It was a bit inconvenient to have to unlock and lock the doors to and from the washroom but this was offset by the cheaper price for the room. Both the bedroom and the washroom were beautiful & clean. There is convenient parking right in front of the building for 30 euro. Unfortunately, we accidentally drove past it and ended up in another lot for 40 euro. The buffet breakfast is huge and delicious. Hotel is a short 15 minute walk to centre of Florence.
• Amanda (6/5): - A note of caution. If staying at Villa Royal B&B, breakfast is not free and you pay €20 per person, to use the pool, every day. Book Hotel Royal. The staff are really friendly and welcoming.
• Grace (8/5): - Newly resonated room with great AC and fridge. Room is good and quiet until a loud family checked in the night before we checked out. The walls are thin so you can hear everything. Only two complains: no check in instruction. This is the new “branch” of Royal Hotel close by, so when we arrived there was no staff or signs of this Villa Royal b&b or who to contact. We called the number on the reservation (thank god we have a local SIM) and someone from the hotel came to check us in. Service is only available when the cleaning staff is on site around 12pm. Also shower is awkward and water pressure is low. Wifi is not great either - slow and weak.
• Fatemeh (10/5): - We stayed on this B&B for two nights. The location is very convenient. All historic sites are within reach. The bathroom and shower were sparkling clean and fully renovated. Bed was comfortable and very clean too. The rooms are spacious facing the park in Independence Square in Florence. For breakfast you have to walk to the Hotel Royal and pay 15 Euro per person. The dining room in the main building of Hotel Villa Royal is charming. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - We stayed only for one night before flying out of florence. The bed was the largest of any we slept in while traveling in Italy. Good central location. Would stay again while in Florence.
• Cheryl (10/5): Comfortable lovely stay at - Such kind helpful staff and perfect room
• Rakklao (9/5): Superb - Bathroom was very clean There's no A/C in the room
• Shea (10/5): - Loved it
• Arvie (10/5): - Good
• Yanthina (8/5): A charming stay in Florence - The charm of the place, big size room, clean, comfy bed and strategic location. The reception is at a different place. A slight inconvenience, that's all. After advising my check out intention, I can leave the keys in the room.
• Pragya (8/5): Good hotel standard amenities and room - The property is extension of a hotel hence the amenities, furnishings were to hotel standard and room was spacious. The location was good as well. The only minor drawback is that the property is about 4-5min walk from main hotel. Hence for check in or checkout you have to go to main hotel . Also breakfast is at main hotel as well.
• Achilleas (9/5): Superb -
• Gugleta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Evgenia (8/5): Very good - We needed a room in Florence closet of the centre for just one night and we tried to books Eo thing reasonable last minute. This was Close to some attractions - about 10 mins away. So locations wise was good and it’s also next to the playground which is convenient if you are travelling with young kids. Room and bathroom were clean but it seems they converted the huge multi bedroom apartment into the small hotel rooms. Room is small but enough for the stay. No complaints. We liked the room Check in process was weird. First, we found the hotel based on the address provided. But since it was converted from apartment there was no indication of the hotel, name and no instructions on where to check in /find an entrance etc. Very confusing. We were standing there like idiots not knowing what to do and where to go. Tried calling and no one responded. Tried to go by pictures to figure out where the rooms were facing. Tried various doors around but only got the neighbours who knew nothing about the hotel. After looking around for 30 mins or maybe more we saw one of the doors was not locked , we walked in, took the stairs up and found a girl cleaning one of the rooms. She spoke almost no English but she took us to the check in desk which is a few blocks away!! How does it not say in the instructions? Unless we missed it . Check in was in the lobby of the actual nice hotel but this “apartment style” room was probably a cheaper version of that hotel. Anyway, they did offer breakfast at additional cost but we didn’t try it so couldn’t tell.
• Veronika (8/5): Very good -
• Fatemeh (8/5): Nice and neat - Very clean and the bed was so comfortable
• Marion (8/5): Loved Florence - So many keys and a long way from hotel reception
• Taymi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Franks (9/5): Absolutely loved staying here, only 10 min walk into central Florence. - Perfect location, lovely room and friendly and helpful welcome from the staff! Make it clearer that check in is at the hotel rather than the apartment itself.
• Daniel (8/5): Very good -
• Rachel (8/5): Very good - I had a really good stay here, I stayed in the villa not the main hotel. It’s nice and quiet, very clean and comfortable, air con worked well and the bed was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful particularly Alberto on the front desk, and Oscar who showed me to my room and explained everything I needed to know. The staff helped me book a taxi to the airport, showed me good spots to visit on the map, and allowed me to store my luggage after check out so I could sight see before I flew home. There’s a lovely garden and pool at the main hotel which villa guests also have access to- great when it’s hot. My only qualm was that I would have appreciated a bottle of water in the room and access to an iron which the hotel said they weren’t able to provide. I was just a fifteen minute walk from the Piazza Del Duomo. I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere good and not too pricey in Florence.
• Raphael (8/5): spacious apartment located in the basement. about 10 minute walk from city center. toddler liked it because he could run - spacious it was in the basement
• Stewart (8/5): Very good -
• Minasyan (9/5): Superb -
• Lazar (8/5): Very good -
• Joop (1/5): bad experience - Villa Royal turned out to be a dependance of the main hotel Royal, which was two streets further away. At arrival at Piazza della Indipendenza 22 Florence, there was nobody there.... also after calling, no responce... We never got info, that the main hotel was in another street. Very bad communication and never go there again. see above
• Colin (9/5): Superb -
