This was the perfect place to stay for an early morning flight out of Florence. Check in was easy, staff was personable, and the shuttle service was great.
We arrived early due to cancelled flight and nowhere to go or leave luggage. They accommodated and allowed access to room as soon as it was cleaned. Room was clean and comfortable.
What a find! I expected a pkace this clise to the airport, and at such a reasonable price, to be quite average. Which would have been fine. But Hotel Franchi is a gem!
Great, above-and-beyond service. Welcoming staff. A lovely lounge area on the ground floor, with a small pub for drinks and food. Clean and comfortable room, with a balcony! I can't say enough about how lovely this place is.
For accessibility: one step up to get in the door and a small elevator if you don't want to use the stairs.
I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Florence.
it is literally a 10 minute walk from the airport, is the best way to get there, bartender was very kind, we ask for something to eat and offer two excellent options we get here around 22:45 and still people in the lobby having a drink and chillin the room clean nice and perfect for a night stay they have water machine at the entrance and in general it is a self checkin they send you a psswrd and you get in to the hotel the elev your room etc easy interactions definitely I will come back :)
Wonderful little hotel. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and were extremely curteous. Nice outdoor bar area and close to the airport and tram station to Florence.
Great location with easy access to the airport. The property offers airport shuttle service for a fee. Also a lovely restaurant & bar with delicious dinner options in a cozy setting. Breakfast available for a modest fee so that’s a plus especially if you’re catching an early morning flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Hotel Franchi was an easy walk from our Car Rental return and then an easy taxi ride to the airport in the morning. The front desk staff were all so very helpful in making the taxi reservation for us. We ate dinner at the cafe on site and it was delicious!
Even though I had trouble accessing my electronic key, the staff were amazing at helping me when I arrived. I had a lovely dinner at the bar and enjoyed my brief stay.
Staff was welcoming and very competent.
Surrounding area is not touristy, limited--but very adequate--dining options.
The airport shuttle was dead on time, fast & efficient.
Staff was awesome! Rooms were clean. I was a bit stressed when the hotel sent me a message through Expedia but their email is blanked out with the app. There was someone at the hotel upon my afternoon arrival who sent me a code through WhatsApp to access the room. We were here the night before an early flight and the airport shuttle was prompt and courteous. We even had dinner and drinks that I would recommend on the hotel patio.
