Hotels in Rifredi, Florence

Nice hotel but quite far away from all attractions. Typical chain hotel. Rooms are well maintained and cleaned it a decent standard.. We had family room. Double bed and pull out bed for two kids. Pull out bed was quite small for our very tall 10 year old daughter to share with her 7 year old brother. Swimming pool was nice a clean. Tight rules around it’s use. Closes at 8pm. Whole pool was 1.5m Deep which is not great for young kids that can’t swim. No drinks allowed poolside. Must be drank in area outside fenced area of the pool. So no drinking on sun loungers.. Hotel food was great. Staff friendly. Had 1kg Florentine steak one night. Excellent. A typical taxi fare into city centre could be anywhere between €20 to €33 depending on the driver. Not much to do in local area.

Kudos to the friendly staff that resolved our booking issue! Due to our flight cancellation, we “did not show” to our hotel reservation and arrived a day after. Thanks to the receptionist, she was so accommodating and understanding and she was able to resolve the accommodation issue. She also provided accurate instructions on train and bus schedules/locations.

I am not writing this type of reviews often, but unfortunately this time I have to in order to reflect the reality about this hotel. Prior to this hotel we stayed at another hotel in Rome also 4-star that we really enjoyed (price level and distance from city center was similar). Firstly, I would like to point out that this hotel, even though it has 4 stars, cannot be considered to be a European-level 4-star hotel at all, at maximum a refurbished 3-star hotel. Given the price and its location, I would like to tell you straight, it is quite expensive for what you get, especially given the further circumstances described below. Secondly, I have not read many negative reviews regarding the noise level, but would like to shed some light on that. Even though we asked for a quiet room, we got the room facing the hotel parking and front road. I cannot say that there was a lot of noise from the road, but you could definitely hear cars from the road. But the biggest problem is the noise insultaion, or more precisely its complete absence. We could hear our neighbours talking in the other room like they were in our room. Our neighbours were awake until late night and we could hear them receiving messages while chatting on the phone and it seemed like the phone was vibrating each time near your ear. There was also noise from outside and other neighbours (it was partially not clear where it was coming from), so overall an awful experience also given the fact that each room has roller blinds and some people are using them at night and each time you can hear the mechanism working (it is quite loud). When people flush in other rooms, it sounds like it starts raining heavily. To sum up, insulation is really bad. Thirdly, the room was furbished at the level of refurbished 3-star hotel, the old hairdriers from the 20th century, only one card key, thus you cannot leave the AC on when you leave the room. Room was not ventilated at all once we arrived, so it was very hot to sleep and smell was not very pleasant. Breakfast at the level of 3-star hotel maximum and they do not let people finish their breakfast telling at 9:55am that you have to leave in 5 minutes since the breakfast time ends at 10am. As a cherry on the tart, when we were leaving we were told that the water in the room was not complimentary when we arrived, even though we did not found anywhere information with pricing of water in the room. When I asked where we could find price list for water in the room, as I belive it should be clearly placed in a visible spot, the person at reception firstly insulted us in Italian (not knowing that we speak Italian) and then just answered arrogantly ”it is in the room”, showing that he does not want to speak with us. Unbelievable and unacceptable behaviour from staff, you are paying them for being treated in such a manner... Overall, I understand that Florence is an expensive and crowded city, but in this instance when we unfortunately had only extremely negativ

We have booked a bedroom at B&B for two nights at the last. The location is not in a quiet place, as described, is located next to the circumval. We have been assigned a room on the ground floor with a window door opening directly on one of the parking lots! Note: the window door opening to the inside also considered security exit!!!!! So no chance to open a window and leave it open. That room was probably picked up from a car box. Blind bathroom. Nothing to say about cleaning. A big sin (another) can't eat breakfast as you should. A basket is left in the room with packed brioches, marmellate, juices, and if you want hot drinks you have to go out in the corridor and use the automatic distributor. For that room/ex garage I would say no to recommend.

The location is 5 min walking to the s.Maria novella station and the buffet breakfast were full of options and high class, the room is huge with big bathtubs and clean, the only thing not so perfect is the water flow of shower was not so strong as the new hotel, the hotel lounge is really cozy that you can stay comfortable checking out if it’s raining outside in Firenze, the servie of staff is also nice!!!

We had room 531. It was a nice room with a window to the front of the building. We picked this hotel for the location (to the right the river to the left the Duomo) and the rooftop bar looked like a great way to spend our evenings. The room was very noisy. Yes, it was at the front of the hotel, but the windows did not seem to help diminish the noise. It was especially noisy from above us - we assume the bar. Big, loud bangs - like someone dropping bowling balls. There was a lot of noise from the door slamming. They did not close - they all slammed. The blow dryer sucked. Did not blow hot air at all. I called the front desk and asked for another. Did you know - in the entire hotel there was not a replacement hairdryer to be found? (I know this may seem small, but if you have as much hair as I do - you tend to rely on some basics working). The rooftop bar - the views are unbelievable and exactly as pictured. They just need a staff that can take basic drink orders. They had 3 people every night working, but they seemed inept. We enjoyed our evenings there - but it could have been so much better. Would I stay there again - probably.

Great convenient location just 5 min walk from Firenze S.M.N station. Hotel is a boutique hotel style with modern decor. Room size was good and clean. Breakfast was simple but still a good enough spread. Would recommend this hotel!

My husband and I visited Florence for our wedding anniversary and the hotel was just incredible. My husband had arranged for flowers to be put in our room prior to our arrival with a lovely note which the hotel were more than happy to help with. Our room was very clean and modern with a lovely luxurious bathroom! The breakfast was amazing with something for everyone! The staff were very helpful and polite throughout our stay. The hotel is situated just off of the main square and ideal location to explore Florence at the leisure. Lovely hotel and staff- we would definitely recommend staying here!

This is a lovely, clean hotel with good facilities and location and an excellent breakfast. It has a very traditional decor, with a modern bathroom. Our room was pleasant enough but the window faced a wall and had huge shutters which we couldn't open. Hence, there was hardly any natural light in the room. I also found the staff a bit unfriendly, especially at the reception desk. There was no greeting if you walked past, and they did seem slightly condescending - not the usual friendliness you would expect on a reception desk. The staff at breakfast were much nicer. I liked this hotel, but a little friendliness and a smile go a long way and would have enhanced our stay.

The dinner was delicious, especially the Tuscan dessert - sponge cake filled with cream. The service was very attentive, but not overbearing. The included breakfast was very fresh and there was enough variety of hot and cold items to make a complete meal. This boutique hotel is easy walking distance from the Florence train station, which makes it an ideal hub for exploring the entire country. I loved The Grand Hotel Adriatico three years ago and it was just as great this time as well.
