FADED GRANDEUR - PARKING-POOL-ACCESSIBLE & AIR CON
An aristocratic heritage, lovely period furniture, set back from a quiet road on the north east edge of the tourist zone. Great to have off street parking, not included in the quoted price, but worth the convenience if travelling by car and staying a few days. Easily accessible by car if you do not miss the turning, the restricted zone starts beyond the hotel, on a one way street! The Cathedral and the centre are just 10 minutes walk. Bed and Breakfast at a very reasonable price but no restaurant. Many others nearby on the way to the centre meet every meal requirement, particularly the Tiberio just down the street. Even closer is a Carrefour Express which can meet most other needs. Lovely pool in a quiet garden unexpected amongst the urban surroundings. Good sized room but slightly cramped shower & loo. Gives the impression of being family run and not many staff but very willing. The hotel is owned by a trust and well maintained but no plans to invest, income from the foundation set up by the last Count goes to charity. The bar has a 1920's feel, circular and marble. Breakfast simple but sufficient, not cooked and not too many options. Like the hotel, just right, and thank goodness for the air conditioning. Florence was incredibly hot, but we knew it would be, and magnificent. We will return.

Family trip to Florence
After reading mixed reviews I was uncertain as to what to expect. We were made very welcome and given a choice of rooms. The one we chose was huge, double and two single beds. As it was the middle of a heatwave the air con was always on max. The pool and garden are lovely and a real treat so close to the centre in a heat wave. The outside has recently been decorated and looks great. The inside is traditional in style. The location is very good with only a ten min walk to most attractions. The breakfast was good, fresh pastries, good coffee including decaf, meats etc( would have liked some fresh fruit ). The wifi in lounge is good and the area is very grand and confortable to be in. We had a great stay there, it exceeded our expectations and we would definitely return

Disappointed
I stay for 3 nights there. The hotel itself is nice because is a old building, but my room was as old as the building, very update. The hair dryer was from the 60's and didn't do the job is just loud. My room was a single bed, which is located in next to the elevator, my bedeas by thebavk wall of the elevator, was very loud through the night. Not good idea. Service was ok, nothing exceptional. They have wifi in one ofthe living room so you can't search in the internet in the "confort" of your room. And you need to be very quiet.

We had a great time during our stay at the hotel. The facilities at the hotel are excellent and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the lovely outdoor seating areas and the swimming pool. The hotel is located in a quiet part of the city, a short walking distance from the train station and the main visitor attractions.

This was a beautiful hotel which provided a perfectly quiet oasis with no traffic noise at all. It is a little walk from the main attractions of Florence but there were plenty of lovely restaurants near by. The only complaint was the coffee at breakfast - truly dreadful.

The hotel is a bit further out
The hotel is a bit further out from the Train station and main tourist attractions, but still in walking distance. The receptionists were fine but the cleaners were not properly trained for their job, opened the door while the guests were still in the room, and throwed away the guests' things (full bottles of water, coca-cola) without permission. The most inconvenient thing is no internet connection for guests.

I stayed in the Royal Hotel Florence
I stayed in the Royal Hotel Florence with a mate and we got triple room. The room is quite spacious with very tall ceiling. The hotel is quite charming. Location of the hotel is great. It is located in the outer edge of the old city so it is walking distance from all historical sites and superb leather market. Note that even though the hotel has a swimming pool in the lovely backyard you will need to pay 8€ to use it. Parking also comes at a cost of 23€ per day. I would stay again in this hotel.

Hôtel royal qui a intégré le confort du 21e dans une demeure de la renaissance avec soin. Idéal pour son calme et une certaine sérénité qui se dégage de ce lieu
