The accommodation was very spacious and clean. Would comfortably accommodate several people or family. Breakfast was served in a beautiful garden room in the hotel a couple of blocks away. Downside was the rooms were actually below ground level with poor natural lighting. Felt a bit dungeony The shower did not function properly. Water was either hot or cold and could not be regulated resulting dodgy bathing and hair washes in the sink.

The location of this place was the best part, a short walk from the centre but also a little bit away from the business and crowds. The room is exactly as described and had everything we needed. The only downside was that we were not aware you had to pay an extra fee for the pool anytime you want to use it and it was one of the main reasons we chose this place. Other than that the place was easy to access and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed only for one night before flying out of florence. The bed was the largest of any we slept in while traveling in Italy. Good central location. Would stay again while in Florence.

The room is clean and bed is very comfortable. We were given a small Superior room and the walls are paper thin though and the cistern was visible from outside of the ensuite which was weird and very loud when flush.

A note of caution. If staying at Villa Royal B&B, breakfast is not free and you pay €20 per person, to use the pool, every day. Book Hotel Royal. The staff are really friendly and welcoming.

We stayed on this B&B for two nights. The location is very convenient. All historic sites are within reach. The bathroom and shower were sparkling clean and fully renovated. Bed was comfortable and very clean too. The rooms are spacious facing the park in Independence Square in Florence. For breakfast you have to walk to the Hotel Royal and pay 15 Euro per person. The dining room in the main building of Hotel Villa Royal is charming. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful.

Teresa

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel staff was excellent! We greatly appreciated the ability to have an early check-in so that we would be in time for our tour and we also appreciated the young man who walked us (in the rain) to our separate apartment about a block away. We had the room with the separate washroom. It was a bit inconvenient to have to unlock and lock the doors to and from the washroom but this was offset by the cheaper price for the room. Both the bedroom and the washroom were beautiful & clean. There is convenient parking right in front of the building for 30 euro. Unfortunately, we accidentally drove past it and ended up in another lot for 40 euro. The buffet breakfast is huge and delicious. Hotel is a short 15 minute walk to centre of Florence.

Newly resonated room with great AC and fridge. Room is good and quiet until a loud family checked in the night before we checked out. The walls are thin so you can hear everything. Only two complains: no check in instruction. This is the new “branch” of Royal Hotel close by, so when we arrived there was no staff or signs of this Villa Royal b&b or who to contact. We called the number on the reservation (thank god we have a local SIM) and someone from the hotel came to check us in. Service is only available when the cleaning staff is on site around 12pm. Also shower is awkward and water pressure is low. Wifi is not great either - slow and weak.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The apartments are in a residential block. This meant that my friend and I found them very noisy! This started very early in the morning and late into the evening and sometimes in the middle of the night. People shouting, talking, furniture being moved, washing machine being used etc. I did not get a good night’s sleep whilst I was there. I did complain to the hotel - on another site - and was offered a free breakfast. Quite frankly, I don’t think this is acceptable. Also, we were not told that the hotel is on another site, meaning that we got dropped off at the B&B apartments by our taxi but could not make out where we should check in! We had to ask the hotel next door who directed us to Villa Royal. Luckily it was not raining but it meant we had to take our luggage with us. Just making everyone aware that the apartments are in a residential block!

We had a truly mixed experience with this place. Checking in they did not have the correct information about our payment, they thought we already paid (with multiples reservations over a one week trip we didn't keep track as well as we should) so we payed the tax, had to come back to pay for the room, to later get an email that we didn't pay the right amount so after 3 separate payments the bill was finally settled. Then we learn that the second B in b&b must stand for bath or beyond because breakfast was not included but we did have a discount for staying at the gustehouse. So 10 € / p for 3 mornings we didn't accoint for in our planning. Come last morning they wanted to charge us for all mornings so we had to correct it since we paid each morning. Multiple staff members told us or asked if we were checking out a day earlier than we were. So alot of stress and extra money. Aside from this, the location gave good access to the city with walking distance to many major attractions, the room and bed was comfortable and aside from the fact the the "private bathroom" was in the corridor with a separate key it was fresh and beautiful. The staff was genarally helpful and nice although contact was only at check in, check out and breakfast.

Clean and beautiful room. Check in is a few blocks away which is difficult with suitcases but otherwise fine. They did not mention breakfast or a pool so as far as we know there was none of either which was disappointing. Also, would have rather had a key for religious reasons than an electronic method to get in.

Staff were very nice and could not do enough for us. We could leave our luggage at main hoteol and use the pool while we were waiting on our room being ready. Taking us across to the room was also and added bonus. The room and building it was situated in was small but lovely. Bed very comfortable. The downside was that it was facing a park where alot of drunk people sleeping rough were around at night, that was unsetteling.
