Guest Reviews
Location
In addition to its strategic location, the hotel is appreciated for its quiet and safe neighborhood, enhancing the comfort of guests who may have concerns about "walking dangers" due to crossings. The nearby police headquarters add to the sense of security. The hotel's clean and cozy rooms, often noted for their comfort, contribute to a pleasant short stay, whether it's for a night before catching a flight or a brief business trip.
Overall, Hotel Franchi's excellent transport connections, proximity to both the airport and the tram stations and strategic yet quiet location make it a convenient and reliable choice for travelers visiting Florence.
Breakfast
However, it's important to note that breakfast is not included in the room rate and must be paid for separately, which some guests find disappointing and inconvenient. A few guests also highlight the limited variety in the breakfast offerings, suggesting the inclusion of more items such as fruits and hot dishes. Despite the additional cost, the breakfast is generally appreciated by those who opt for it, although some guests feel that the price is relatively high given the limited options.
Overall, while the breakfast at Hotel Franchi is well-liked for its flavor and simplicity, the additional cost and limited selection could be areas for improvement. Including breakfast in the room rate or enhancing the variety might elevate the overall guest experience.
Dinner
Although some found the portions a bit small and the prices slightly on the expensive side, the quality of the food and the pleasant setting, including a nice garden area for meals, made the experience well worth it. Guests appreciated the convenience of having lunch and dinner options directly at the hotel, as well as the helpful staff who ensured all needs were met, including arranging taxis to the airport.
While the dinner menu may not have the widest selection, the hotel staff are more than willing to recommend great nearby restaurants, such as Tito Barracca and even provide options for food delivery which can be enjoyed on the hotel's lovely patio. This combination of excellent in-house dining and helpful recommendations ensures a satisfying culinary experience for all guests at Hotel Franchi.
Rooms
Despite these positives, some aspects require attention. A few guests experienced issues with soundproofing and outdated bathroom facilities. In certain cases, rooms were reported as basic or sparsely furnished, occasionally missing key amenities like lampshades or sufficient electrical outlets. Additionally, minor problems such as malfunctioning air conditioners, limited ventilation and minor bathroom cleanliness issues were reported.
Overall, Hotel Franchi offers comfortable, clean and often spacious rooms with modern updates making many stays enjoyable. However, the hotel may benefit from addressing some of the inconsistencies and minor maintenance issues noted by guests.
Beds
However, there are a few points of inconsistency. Some visitors found the beds to be too hard or uncomfortable and there were occasional issues with bed frames and mattresses being worn or broken. Additionally, the practice of joining single beds to create double beds sometimes resulted in discomfort due to gaps or lack of cohesion.
Despite these variances, the general sentiment leans towards satisfaction regarding bed comfort, cleanliness and overall sleep quality provided by Hotel Franchi.
Cleanliness
The lobby, hallways and public areas are also maintained to the same high standards. Visitors appreciate the overall clean and comfortable atmosphere throughout the hotel. Eventual issues, such as occasional cleanliness lapses or minor maintenance concerns, seem to be exceptions rather than the norm.

This commitment to customer service, combined with their efficient and courteous approach, solidifies the hotel’s reputation as a place where guests feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for.
Wi-Fi
However, the hotel's virtual check-in process and associated smartphone app often receive mixed reviews. While some find the contactless check-in and smartphone-operated room access convenient and comfortable, others report challenges, citing confusing messages and issues with app functionality. Various guests encountered problems with the app required to enter rooms with some unable to get it to work at all. Despite these technological hurdles, the WiFi experience itself is generally positive and efficient, enhancing the overall stay.
3 Star
Though situated a bit far from Florence's bustling city center, the logistical location is appreciated for convenience. The hotel provides good value for money with an excellent price-quality ratio, making it a fairly economical option compared to other accommodations in the area. Some guests, however, felt that the pricing could be a bit high for a three-star hotel.
Overall, Hotel Franchi proves to be a reliable and practical choice for visitors seeking a comfortable and straightforward stay with the essential amenities and a positive service experience.
Business
However, the check-in process may pose a slight challenge as it involves multiple steps including notifications via WhatsApp and email and the use of a somewhat convoluted app-based key system. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall experience at Hotel Franchi is enhanced by its reasonable costs and its strategic proximity to the city center, making it a practical choice for business-related visits.
