Scandicci Hotels

Hotel was only 15 minutes away from the center. Romms were small but comfortable. Good value for the money paid.

Airconditioning was not warming up the room but after complaining at the reception, it was fixed. There were no shower gel, soaps provided but we had our so it was not a problem. I was surprised though that for a 3 star hotel this was not the case. The street where the hotel is is busy but our room was on 4th floor so there was not so much noise.

Excellent location and for the price we paid 65 euro per night quality of the room and hotel more than expected. only professional complainers might find anything negative

Everything was ok

it was clean. Every day they changed everything and the room and bed was comfortable.

The Breakfast although it said it was till 10:30 after 9.30 only some things were available. Also no laundry service or 24hour bar available as claimed in the site. Just some sodas and biscuits in the shop.

Location is pretty convenient for getting easily and quickly to the airport. Free parking was a big plus. There're some good pizza restaurants nearby. Hotel is standard, and clean. Excellent price.

there are TV and PC in the room, well cleaned and cheap!

The bath room was public, so we have to wait another customer.

Location to the train station.

The night staff was very loud (watching TV at reception desk loudly and skyping with family and friends on computer and talking very loudly)

very mediocre .basic facilities such as tea coffee provision in rooms were missing.rooms were overheated

Proximity to city & all attractions also very quiet

n/a

The rooms were very modern, clean and comfortable. The staff was great, and the breakfast was the best!

The location was about 15-20 minute walk from most of the sites. Not a bad walk, but makes it hard to go back and forth.

The staff were very good at what they do and very helpful and eager to serve your every need. Thankyou for making our stay so memerable

No English entertainment TV.ie Movies and etc

Staying at Casa Howard was one of the most pleasant experiences and a highlight of our trip thus far. The room we stayed in, the game room, also known as the terrace room was as charming as could be! The terrace is so peaceful and quiet and is such an added bonus! The location is great, too. Not too far from the train station, yet close to shops and restaurants. The staff at Casa Howard was so welcoming and very accommodating as well. We loved our stay in Florence and Casa Howard and would recommend it to anyone. I will definitely stay here the next time I travel to Florence.

Location

Florence is a city with idiosyncratic hotels. I travel a lot. This is an odd place. Almost a ritual just to get in and out. Not for those expecting the conventional. Pleasant staff but this place is "out there". FaultyTowers meets Apocalypse Now.

It's a lovely,small pension-type hotel with a lot of character, run by a very friendly & helpful brother & sister. It's very well located & within walking distance of all the sights. Breakfast is good & they serve great coffee!

Owner was very helpful, hotel was nice & clean, good location for the city & the train station.

Difficult to find initially.

The best points for this hotel are the location (proximity of the highway, excellent as a starting point for trips in Tuscany), the availability of the 3rd bed (for children) and the free large parking.

The hotel looks very outdated and definitely overrated (3 stars maximum). It is mainly used as a transit point for tourists. Breakfast is a nightmare if you don't wake up early in the morning, as the restaurant is completely devastated by the tourists groups, and the 2 people caring about cleaning the mess and bringing new foods are completely overloaded. The pool opening time makes it useless (10-19) as this is the time period people usually make trips. The only day we arrived earlier in the idea of using the pool (18:30) we found out that it was closed as the guy in charge left earlier.

The pool area was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Sadly, the food that we ordered in the restaurant was terrible.

Good position, good rooms and a nice breakfast.

I would expect to have the free wifi/cable internet access in the room package

The rooms and the hotel staff are very friendly, and its close to the center of Florence.

The hotel staffs were very nice, very good customer service.

The bed quality isn't that good. I book for full size bed, but it turned out to be two twin size beds put together and I can feel the line in the middle. Their AC system will not turn on until summer I guess. On the night that I stayed in Florence it was hot and humid but there was no AC in the room. I had to open the window all night.

Why didn't a member of staff empty the ashtrays in the central courtyard, what a shame it was unkempt and grubby.

The hotel was well kept and up to date, the staff very accommodating, the room was very clean, the beds comfortable. the bus to Florence central was very close or a taxi was about $20 for 3people. We stayed one night.

fresh and modern decor

the room could have been larger, it was a little cramped.

We arrived to a rude and dismissive front desk. They proceeded to tell us we couldn't stay in our room unless we paid 50 dollars more than what we paid with kayak. I said absolutely not. they said then we couldn't stay and they would still be charging us the full amount of the room. We left and did not stay there and now have to dispute these fraudulent charges with my credit card. Never stay here!!! Worst service ever!!!!

The hotel was clean and elegant. Rooms and facilities were spacious and the service was excellent. The breakfast and gym were top-notch.

The dinner, although good, was not as good value for money as I would have liked. Additional recreational facilities (spa, pool, biliard table, other) would have been a bonus.

It is literally next to the Duomo and incredibly easy to get to other local sites. A five minute walk in any direction will take you to the Academia, Uffizi museum, or Ponte Vecchio. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. If you don't get a room with a view, spend time on the terrace just off the breakfast room. Do so in the evening when musicians are playing down on the street.

The only challenge is finding the front door. It is sandwiched in between shops and restaurants. Look for the name of the hotel on the building, and once you enter the passageway, you'll find the elevator up to the fourth floor where the lobby is.

Location was excellent, right in the city center with close proximity to all major landmarks.

The elevator was not working during our stay, and the accomodation is at the 4th floor. They eventually got it to work, but would carry only one guest at a time. Internet would not connect, eventhough it was offered for free. No one to troubleshoot.

Garden-view

Nice staff, good facility, moderate price. Long walk necessary from city centre.1

very good staff,good prise for hotel services,very conviniet city bus to historic centre. the rooms are big,clean,very comfortable. mimimalistic,but pleasent interior.

nice and clean hotel

Bathroom was impeccable and, though small, what was hoped for and was a relief to find. Room was tiny but enough for a single traveller. Within easy walking distance of major attractions. Worth the bargain. Breakfast was not amazing but sufficient.

No wifi in room. LAN plug supplied no longer sufficient in today's world.

A great location within a few minutes walk of Santa Maria Novella train station and close to all the sights. A warm welcoming service.

My single room was tiny although surprisingly comfortable. Street noise on a Saturday night was a major issue so brine ear-plugs.

their satff and cooperation if we ask about material that we need during pour stay.

I would rated this hotel as two or three stars hotel maximum. I was decieved and shocked as it is rated as five stars hotel in internet web page. Room are stated for three occumpants in one bed room and beds just facing each others no roomto walk in between, bath room door with no lock?, small TV screen? It is absolulety does not worth the money we paid for the stay.

good location as easy to walk to city centre, lovely surroundings. rooms large and airy, nice orginality to them .resturant is also good and breakfast lovely.

no

The hotel is beautiful. Great location. Cosy. It reflects Florence at its best. The staff was great, friendly, helpful, knowledgable about the area, restaurants, shows. We had a great time.

Our only complaint is Florence is a noisy city at night and that requieres windows that are soundproof. If they change this, its a 5 star for us.

Its nearness to all the important sights of Pisa.

Not much.

We liked the easy access to expressway and airport.

The desk stuff arrogant and not helpful at all

Location and the employee there unfriendly and arrogant

Lovely old Palazzo with great view over Florence, beautifull interior, beautifull rooms, great food. Attentive staff. Shuttle service to the city.

Maybe a bit overstaffed. Dinner at restaurant very pricy. Restaurant is in a separate sort of modern conservatory, attached to the building, which is ok, but not as pretty as the palazzo, and cold (november), nevertheless the pretty heaters. We were wondering why the restaurant is not in the palazzo, would have been so much more lovely

It was one of the places I have ever been

ther eis nothing to complain

Good breakfast and is in a clase location to move around

It is too noisy for being next to train station, my room has the windows that did not close properly and when reported they personal just had excuses and told that they were no other rooms available . Seems the motto that client never has the reason, not even a refund !

The location was good.

The lobby smelled bad every single day we were there. The bathroom shower leaked water all over and created a mess. It was not as nice as I expected for the price.

Good location, multilingual staff, free breakfast, a lift, a pool, clean, good location, roof top bar, restaurant

The beds were too firm for my roommate but I didn't mind.

The roof terrace was amazing; they had a bar so it was possible to sit and have a drink and enjoy the incredible view over Florence at sunset. The front desk and bar staff were incredibly helpful and friendly; they went out of their way to be helpful. They have a small pool which is unusual for a Florence hotel of this category and nice terraces overlooking it.

The breakfast had to be the worst one I have had in Italy; cold eggs, hot dog sausages instead of bacon or sausage, not much selection of healthy food until the last day when they introduced crudites. The wifi was free but spotty one day which was frustrating since I was there for work. The lobby decor is really strange; it must have been renovated in the 70's and it really needs an update. Very Star Trek, but spacious bar and TV room.

The staff is extremely accomodating and kind. It's in a great central location, but the area isn't hectic. It's not the Ritz Carlton, but it's nicely maintained and comfortable. I can't believe it was a cheap as it was. Enjoy!

nice and clean hotel

the single room was too small

Staff, room service, breakfast, accommodations, but ask for extra pillows. Also, elevators are super slow, but do not despair as other facilities make up for it. Do not walk with luggage to hotel is the only holdback as streets are tough for luggage. Center to sightseeing. As the saying goes, "do not judge a book by its cover", as this hotel's small corner entrance does not do the interior justice. It is truly a **** hotel. No gimmick.

Elevator

Everything!! Accommodations, location, charm, Comfort, Cleanliness & kind /helpful staff. Just perfect! Plus the amazing quality breakfast! Would stay there again & again!

Very poor conditions in the rooms. Poor bedding and pillows are very hard. The windows overlook the bustling street, so it is impossible to sleep at night. In the shower is growing mold.

Location, the palace is really nice, fresh nice rooms, nice views on the city and surroundings.

Corridor is noisy ( no carpets in the corridor ).Contemporary furniture in the common rooms is a bit cheap, one would expect a more opulent interior.

The beds were extremely hard.

Very nice hotel . Old but when you walk in a room looks totally different . White tiles in bathrooms and all very clean and good quality with and charm . Beds a little hard but dig. Great quite rooms looking over inside gurden. Restaurant overlooking all Florance at breakfast and also for dinner with many outside tables . Stuff very friendly and helpful , concierge knows their stuff , ask for their suggesting if you need to travel around.

Everything

Great location, great pool, great bar, great breakfast.

Rooms were not sound proofed and we could hear quiet music next door and everything in the hallway. The beds also rolled far too easily and we're constantly shifting

Location and good mountain view from suite. Great breakfast.

Not particularly clean and the folding beds in the suite not comfortable. Staff were professional but not particularly engaging however.
