By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! And I travel quite a bit. Im very shocked having just checked their website, to find very nice photographs of this hotel, showing a very clean and tidy place. THEY ARE NOT GENUINE!!! The hotel does not look like this now (we visited 3 weeks ago). The hotel now, is... More

Great location, very kind and attentive staff. No a/c although we were told that they are working on repairing it nothing happened during our 3 nights stay. More

Our first problem on arriving at this hotel was that there is no place to park and drop off your suitcases. We stopped in an area that was prohibited and waited for an employee from a nearby garage (service offered by the hotel staff) to come for the car. Rather expensive compared to other European cities - 24 euros a... More

If you don't want to spend much money, because you're spent most of the time outside of the hotel, this hotel is a good option. It is in the city centre. Rooms are oke, clean (but not the most clean location), breakfast is a buffet with enough choice. More

The hotel probably needs some renovation but otherwise was fine. The front office staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make things more pleasant. Having originally been placed into a room where one of the beds was broken, they immediately profusely apologised and changed rooms to a much bigger and nicer room at no extra charge.... More

We had booked at room for a family of four for two nights at the Hotel Ginori al Duomo. When we arrived, they said they did not have a room for us but had a room booked instead for us at this place. What a disappointment. Our family room consisted of a large room with four single beds lined up... More

This was our least favourite hotel of our European trip...and our longest stay. While our room was large and the air conditioner worked, it clearly needs updating. The tub had an extremely high side making it unsafe for my wife. The location was close enough both to the railway station and to the main sights (esp. the Accademia) but is... More

This truly was the worst hotel experience I've had in my life...and this is coming from someone who spends much time traveling. The staff is beyond rude- it's almost inconceivable that a Hotel Manager could behave in such a manner, though trust me there were no manners involved. The rooms were beyond dodgy, not to mention secure in the least.... More

I was astonished to see that there have been no reviews of this hotel since October 2010. Since I have been there more recently I thought I would weigh in. I had stayed here before, four years ago, and reviewed it positively at that time. This hotel has since been sold, sometime in the last year to year and a... More
