Guest Reviews
- Ramya (7/5): - Location and staff The kitchen is very small
- TETIANA (8/5): -
- Lucia (5/5): -
- Carta (6/5): - Ottima la posizione, i letti sono comodi. Personale gentile e disponibile. Complicato mangiare sul tavolo per via della posizione dei letti. La ventola del bagno fa un rumore strano.
- JULIETA (2/5): - Horrible experience!!!
There’s mold in the ceiling of the bathroom and even in the room - looks like just painted the ceiling.
Send email to the staff to move us to another room as I was experiencing severe allergic reactions to the moulds and problem breathing.
No response from the staff, just send somebody who can’t speak English and collect the tax for the other room.
I need a refund.
Avoid this hotel at all cost.

- Guest (6/5): -
- Nautica (6/5): - The room was clean and modern inside. Area is about 25-30 minutes walking to anything (food, activities, shopping, etc.) and loud has there is no insulation to help with outside noises or other guests. Staff was friendly but there’s no 24 hour front desk which they do disclose in description. Out AC went out night 2 so we had to sleep with windows open as the building itself is stuffy and humid
- vito (7/5): Tranquillo - La posizione La muffa sul muro
- ORLY (2/5): Bad room, too expensive. Poor experience - It was not what they offered. They gave me a room in another building, with people yelling and abusing kids in the middle of the night, noisy, no garden views, no areas to share. I paid so much money for a bad experience. The room was so ugly and not in the main roy garden building. I paid too much money for that. Im furious. I couldnt sleep because the neighbours that live in the building were yelling and slamming doors etc.
- Antonia (10/5): -
- Damien (4/5): Convenient walk distance from the train station - It was about 10 mins walk from the train station- not bad. The agent let us check in early and she was very kind. The room was clean and modern. Sewage smell came from the bathroom. Lots of fruits flys and mozzies. We have got bitten so many in the building 11(not the building in 3-with the court yard) it would have been good if there were some kind of electric mozzie replant. The bed mattress was too firm and the pillow needs to be replaced. No doona/ only top sheet…was disappointed. ( found the extra doona in the drawer however no it’s cover)
Bedside reading lamps would be good too.

- hakima (7/5): Excellent location check-in smooth and family friendly - The location next to the train station, the cleanliness wasn’t top there were lot of mosquitos we couldn’t stay longtime in the garden, no washing machine kitchen very small we had a waffle maker but couldn’t use it as we didn’t have time to prepare the batter we had a machine to make sandwiches it was great. The toilet had a shower and it was a bargain , I didn’t like the furniture arrangement the place felt cold without a character the tv was put on the top of the microwave which was on the table taking the most space we couldn’t use the table for eating,the fridge far in a corner small we couldn’t know if it was a hotel or a house it was tricky!
- Guillermo (10/5): - Limpieza
- Khoa (6/5): - My bathroom was clean but the door was so hard to close because it is sagging and creating so much friction with the floor. Also, the shower drain is partially clogged so the water is pooling on the shower pan. This facility doesn’t refresh your room daily.
- Michelle (9/5): - Big enough for family of 4. We chose it as close to train station, but like all major cities train station can be a little unsafe, only an issue at night if waking from the city.
- lots of mozzies so couldn't use outdoor space.
- Dennis (8/5): - Location Lighting.
- Radosław (9/5): - Nice stay.
- Megan (8/5): Nice rooms near SMN - watch for checkin note - The room was spotless, roomy, and recently updated. AC worked well. The staff went out of the way to help us. I didn’t get their message asking for our arrival info (technical issue with internet service on our cruise ship) so arrival was a bit rocky. There was no sign pointing to reception so we were standing out on the street trying to message them until another guest pointed us in the right direction. At reception, a kind, service-oriented housekeeping staff member stored our bags and got us checked in so all ended well and our rooms were great.
- Marlo (10/5): -
- Svitlana (10/5): Приїдемо ще! - Місцезнаходження відмінне. Пішки дійшли з вокзалу. Кімнати розташовані на першому поверсі. Всім вистачило місця і умови були хорошими. Нам дозволили залишити речі до заселення і після. Персонал привітний і дружелюбний. Навіть без знання мови, ми змогли зрозуміти один одного. Красивий і охайний сад. Постіль чиста і свіжа. Рушників достатньо.
- GESTO C (7/5): - La habitación estaba limpia y todo organizado, Está muy cerca de restaurantes, bares y de la estacion de metro, hay paradas de metro y autobuses muy cerca. Deberían colocar un microondas, porque para usar uno hay que salir del edificio y caminar unos pocos metros hasta una recepción donde te prestan para calentar.
Si quieres dormir hasta tarde allí es imposible porque la puerta de la entrada al edificio al abrirla o cerrarla se escucha el ruido y todo lo que hablan las personas que viven allí. Las paredes de la ducha tenían un poco de Moho, el wáter está tan pegado a la puerta de la ducha que es un poco incómodo, la terraza está un poco sucia y si abres la puerta se meten los mosquitos a la habitación.
- louise (8/5): - it was far from everything, The garden at the El Roy was not like it looked on Expeida. The rooms were clean, but I had to ask for more towels and toilet paper. There was someone to greet us but other people arriving there no one to greet them and they did not know where to go for info. I would not recomend this one , maybe for students
- Renzo (10/5): -
- Zachary (10/5): - We really enjoyed our time! Everything was clean, it was nice having coffee and extra blankets in the room, and we appreciated having enough shampoo provided for all three of us. The woman that checked us in was cheerful and explained everything thoroughly. The patio area that we had access to was quite nice as well. If we come back to Florence we will definitely keep this in mind as a place to stay for the future.
- Mohandesi (10/5): - Pulitissimo, vicino alla stazione. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo vi ringrazio
- Nato (8/5): Agradable y cómoda estancia - Las camas cómodas, bastante nuevo todo y agradable la estancia. El baño es un poco pequeño y echas de menos algunos mueblecitos de almacenaje por todos lados.
- BJ (8/5): - For our group this was just a quick stopover before taking the train early in the morning to Monterosso. The train station was walkable. The rooms were basic. If we were in Florence to enjoy the town for a few days this is not what we would consider.
- DeeJay (8/5): Agréable confortable et bien situé - L'emplacement, le parking gratuit à proximité, le petit patio et le silence, la discrétion et l'amabilité de la personne qui nous a remis les clés. Une bonne communication. Des torchons dans la cuisine et une serviette de toilette de plus par personne auraient été appréciés
- Raul Simonetta (9/5): - Estuve una sola noche preo volvería a parar ahi. La ubicación es muy buena y la habitaición está muy bien.
- Macchia (9/5): -
- Jessica (9/5): -
- Leticia (10/5): -
- Rafael (8/5): - Apartamento limpio, funcional y sencillo. Ubicación en zona tranquila con parada de tranvía cerca y a 10 minutos a pie de la estación de tren y comienzo del centro de la ciudad No me gustó que la puerta de la calle siempre estuviera abierta. La nevera enana y sin cocina.
- Rubio Rodríguez (8/5): -
- Roberto (10/5): Excelente todo - Todo muy bien No tengo mala opinión
- Guest (10/5): - It’s clean and tidy . It’s a Quiet cozy place to stay None
- IRIS DOUKIDI (8/5): -
- Nour (9/5): - Grazie Tutto ok
- Angel (2/5): - The only decent thing is the room. The building is awful and creepy. At night looks like an scenary from a horror movie. The staff, well there is no staff or front desk. The pictures in Expedia are misleading people showing gardens that are not accessible or don't exist. Going out a night is challenging because there are people that look dangerous in the surrounding areas.
- Mateya (8/5): - Our stay at El Roy Garden rooms was interesting to put it into one word. When we got there, the directions took us to a completely different building, and there was nobody there to check us in. I then called and then somebody came. However what I cared about most was the area, it was just my boyfriend and I staying here, and this hotel was in a pretty unsafe area, which made me uneasy. The man who cleaned was very nice and made sure to smile as we passed and such, and made sure our room was clean. Personally, as a young girl, I would stay somewhere else due to safety, but if this isn’t a concern for you then you will be fine.
- Luca (9/5): -
- Marianela (10/5): - El chico de la recepción muy amables ubicación excelente a dos paradas en tranvía de la iglesia Santa Maria Novella Lo único fue un olor fuerte a especias probablemente algún vecino del edificio
- Waga (9/5): -
- Eve (10/5): - Nice room. Shower was a bit rough and needed more soap however good overall. Great location, walking distance from all the sights and good transport links. Very close to main train station where we took the train to Pisa and Rome. SO quick and easy.
- Xiaofeng (8/5): Thankfully - The room is located on the first floor, with four beds and two bedrooms with good air conditioning. The other spaces are actually very small, and there is a public backyard outside the door. The service staff were great and very attentive. When we had nowhere to store our luggage after checking out, they enthusiastically helped us solve the problem and placed it in a warehouse next to the hotel. Thank you very much! Do hotels in Italy not provide drinking water?
- Mirhea (7/5): Good - It was close to the train station and it had AC that worked well it also had some spaces where you could hang out. There was a strange smell of sewage sometimes and for some reason our room the shower area wasn't covered in tiles so the worlds look like they were cracking and also the drain didn't work well of the shower.
- Anonymous (5/5): Ok but noisy and bad arrival procedure - fridge/kettle in the room. It was clean. The shower was good. very noisy from other guests - walls are thin. Check in was a nightmare as no directions to the entrance and we were left having to go to another hotel to get wifi in order to contact the staff over whatsapp just to be let in to check in. We ended up knocking on the wrong flat doors and asking random residents where the hotel was. Not what you want after an exhausting journey and with pressing time commitments.
- Jeffery (8/5): - Good location close to train station
- Frithasya (8/5): Very good -
- Karla (8/5): It was a good place to stay, good value and the location was convenient to explore Floqrence. - It was a good location near the train station in Firenze. The apartment is located in a building with other long term rentals and it felt safe. Located near major transportation and Florence town center was also a plus for our family. The beds were really comfortable specially after walking so much touring the area. It was a small space but it was practical for our travel needs, since we were basically just coming back to sleep. At night it was noisy as the apartment was located on the first floor and the main door were very lowed when tenants were coming home.
- Rami (7/5): Good - Location near to the train station. There were a lot of flies and mosquitoes and no drain in the bathroom.
- MASAHIRO (6/5): - 駅から近く観光には便利だった
- Shiva (4/5): - The property was a budget-friendly renovated rental, but there were several issues during our stay. The address provided was not accurate, and we had to wait under the hot sun for 20 minutes for someone to arrive and open the door. Unfortunately, the person assisting us didn’t speak English or French, so all communication had to be done via WhatsApp.
Inside the room, both the AC and fridge were leaking, and we had to mop the floor and dry the walls every evening upon our return. Towels were not changed on the morning of our second day, and the property had many stairs, which may be challenging for some guests.
Overall, considering the conditions, it did not feel like good value for the price we paid for three nights.
- Laura (8/5): - Simple sty
- Chad (10/5): - They were super accomodative with everything including sending someone to check me in early when I arrived in the morning and was expecting to have to wait. I can tell my room was newly remodeled as everything was new such as the bathroom, ac, mini-fridge, and bed. Definitely a great place to stay if you're traveling early from SMN as it's a 10-minute straight shot walk.
- Gabriela (10/5): Florence - The room was ok and as described. It was clean and everything that we needed. Location was convenient although not the nicest. They charged me extra for a late check in which I don’t remember reading. This is a room in an apartment so there is no front desk. They responded to questions through the application.
- Ittira (7/5): Good - It's at a good location, about 10 mins walk away from the Central Station. The Garden room was nice and comfy and the 1.5 bedrooms was spacious enough.
- Anna (10/5): - Great room, walkable to city center
- Maria (8/5): Room is updated and clean - Located just minutes from train station
- Balu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Y-Chie (10/5): - El Roy Gardens was a very convenient, clean place to stay for your visit to Florence. It's proximity to the train station is a big plus. Neighborhood was quiet, staff was courteous and fees are very much affordable. I will stay at this place again on my next trip to Florence. Y - Boston, MA - May 2025
- Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely Location but Some Issues with Check-in and - We recently stayed at this accommodation, which is located in a great spot—just a 15-minute walk to the city centre, making it easy to explore the local sights on foot. On arrival, we were a bit early but were kindly allowed to wait in a lovely little courtyard, which was a nice touch.
However, check-in was a bit confusing. We paid for the room upon arrival, but then the receptionist came to our room later to collect the city tax—despite initially telling us we could leave it in cash at the desk. In the end, we paid the tax by card. Shortly after, they returned again to ask for our passports. It would have been more efficient and less disruptive if all of these details were handled at check-in.
Our room itself was bright and spacious, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, there was noticeable mould in the bathroom, which was disappointing and should have been addressed before the room was made available to guests.
We briefly spoke to someone we believe was the owner over the phone, but she wasn’t present during most of our stay. Instead, one man appeared to be managing everything—from checking guests in to cleaning rooms—which may explain some of the disorganisation.
Overall, while the location and space were great, the check-in process and cleanliness left room for improvement. With a few adjustments, this could be a much more pleasant experience for future guests.
- Gustavo Badilla (10/5): - .
- Amornrat (10/5): - The location is close to train station, we walked to everywhere 15-25mins to and attractions. Staff is very helpful and responsive. Room#1 is near to the main door to the building, we heard a lot of the door slam early in the morning.
- Botond (9/5): Superb - The host was flexible and helpful.
- Jennifer (9/5): Quiet clean and quick - The room was nice and clean None
- MARIA DOLORES (8/5): - La habitación daba a la terraza y lógicamente se usaba, dando lugar a ruidos en la habitación.
Por lo demas, todo bien

- Li (8/5): - It was on the ground floor quite noisy at night. but the area is quite good, room was clean and comfortable so it was alright.
- ILSE MARISOL (10/5): - Super conveniente para un viaje rapido a Florencia queda cerca de la terminal de tren y puedes ir caminando a cualquier lugar
- Kathryn and Seb (10/5): - Had everything we needed, spare blankets duvets and pillows, plenty of towels and some toiletries in the room. Wifi and gair dryer and was a level walk into the centre of town down a well lit street. Tram also stopped close by. Very clean and comfortable, no hesitation to reccommend.
- Simona (8/5): Very good -
- Alushani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (6/5): - Der Aufenthalt war ganz gut, jedoch einchecken sehr kompliziert, sah sehr suspekt aus, jedoch danach war es ganz gut, Schönes Zimmer aber leider ungewollter und unangekündigter Zimmer Service.
- Diego (10/5): - Easy to walk and close to center.
- grahame (6/5): - Clean, functional rooms in handy location close to train station. Overall fair value for money.
Poor communication from staff resulted in difficulty and lengthy checking in. No servicing of room between our 2 night stay, only given 1 bottle of water, 2 teabags, no milk in room. No milk at coffee station in reception area.
- Zerman (8/5): Very good -
- Gonzalo (8/5): Very good -
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -

- Kristiana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Riddhi (10/5): Good and comfortable stay - Good. Owner is supportive and helpful Close to the attraction
- Yurii (10/5): Exceptional -
- Skye (6/5): Comfortable. - Location was about 10 minute walk from the main train station. Neighbourhood was quiet with a few places that stayed open late for ice-cream or a late dinner which was nice. The apartment was in an older building and we initially had some trouble opening the door, but the host attended and assisted. The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable. The host provided a wifi booster when we mentioned the wifi signal was poor. It appeared that there was a kitchenette set up, but the kettle was resting on top of a heater and the fridge was tiny and basically not cold. The set up could be more practical. There was a garden area, however it was very overgrown did not feel inviting.
- ALEXSANDRO (6/5): - O quarto em si tem camas bem confortáveis, mas o local possui um péssima acústica, barulho nos corredores e nas áreas comuns. Na noite em que ficamos hospedados, houve algum problema com a reserva de uma pessoa e não conseguíamos dormir com o barulho e a confusão gerada. Local é distante dos pontos turísticos e bem ruim para arrumar estacionamento.
- Aljaz (9/5): Superb -
- Jorge (6/5): - A porta do banheiro não fechava, era maior do que o espaço.
Os arredores não são muito bons
- Travellingmike (9/5): Superb -

There was a balcony just outside the room.
