The staff here was awesome and very helpful. We stayed only one night, but it is conveniently located and within walking distance to many things you would want to see. We got a great recommendation for a dinner spot. The welcome drink was lovely and the room was fine. It's small, but overall, a great find.

Very helpful staff. Friendly, giving good advice on eating places, how to get to tourist attractions, getting a parking spot. The Welcome Drink was much appreciated. Easy to reach by car. The hotel is located in an area with traffic limitations on the first floor (not the ground floor), 10-15 minute walk from Duomo, the main tourist area. Room and... More

This is a small hotel in an excellent location in Florence. It is away from the most touristy area and thus a bit cheaper, but within walking distance of all the main attractions. It is quite cosy, the breakfast room is very pleasant and the staff were extremely helpful. The room was a reasonable size and very comfortable. There is... More

I stayed here for three nights from May 15th. It's about a 5 minute walk to the center of florence. The rooms have very high ceilings which makes the place feel very airy. The staff were very friendly and even helped us get to the university institue in the hills where we were doing some work. The breakfast was continental... More

My daughter, son and I stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Big rooms and a very nice breakfast. Within walking distance to all the sights. The staff were very helpful, suggesting places to eat. Also, they have dvd players in each room and movies in the lobby that you can watch. We really enjoyed our stay here.

This was our 2nd stop on our honeymoon. 5 days in Florence! When we first arrived at the hotel it was a little unassuming but all the buildings are like that. It's part of the charm and the experience. We came into a dimly lit lobby and it was a little confusing as there was no signage really to speak... More

The bathrooms modern and yes they have towel heaters! Our room even had a small balcony looking over a park like area behind the hotel. They also have free Wi-Fi. The... More

Hotel Giglio is a family run hotel occupying the second floor of a mixed use building in Florence. The thing that makes this place special is the family. Marco and his family are very kind and will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. Our room was good with a modern bathroom. My one complaint... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hotel Giglio for two nights. Our stay at the Hotel Giglio could not have been better. Our hotel room was clean and the bathroom was the best (heated towels??? thank you!). Florence is a small city and the hotel is a short walk from everything. The owner is also very friendly and welcoming.... More

We found this hotel on TripAdvisor, and it lived up to its' reviews. There are no views to speak of from the Giglio, but the location is fine and the staff is so very helpful. When we checked out, our host even drove us to the train station, and wouldn't accept payment for it. Florence was all the sweeter for... More
