Date of Stay: April, 2008
Noisy room due to deformed wooden frames of balcony door and window. Ugly area, hotel crammed between buildings. Not too clean.
 
From: Warren Sweet, Italy
Date of Stay: February, 2008
On the positive side were the employees, but our impression was set back when we entered the room and were overwhelmed with cigerette smoke. The toilet was very noisey and the door to the balconey would not close. The hotel advertises it is 300 meters from the airport but it it impossible to walk and the crazy road system requires a long loop and 1.5 km drive by car. Florence must have an idiot for a traffic engineer.

Date of Stay: January, 2008
Very near the airport, clean, quiet and a king size bed! The desk manager was very helpful, ordered taxi for the next morning to the airport. She also called to check out other information for us, she was really outstanding! This is a great place to stay the night before a flight.

Just spent a night before my early departure from the airport. This is the place to stay for airport convenience. Easy checkout, rental car return, baggage check and at the gate much quicker than I thought. First flight of the day at 0640.

Is difficult to reach the city center on sundays due to lack of buses available that day.

The Franchi was a clean hotel with a nice breakfast. It is not a plush hotel but adequate and close to the airport. We would stay again if travelling in/out of Florence by air.

Date of Stay: October, 2006
Great Hotel for location.. close to Airport. About a 5 min taxi ride. Not walkable from airport, but very very close. We were traveling by auto and friends traveling with us were flying out of Florence. Hotel was easy to access off Autostrada. Hotel staff made great recomendations dinner...we choose to take taxi into Florence...about 20 euro ride. Rooms very modern and clean. Staff very helpful. PS: Kate Moss and her entourage checked in as we left for dinner

Dobble non smoking room with seperate beds
 
From: Rakesh Jena, Norway
Date of Stay: July, 2006
The hotel is very very far from the city center. If one is looking for a quick commute, then this property isnt recommended. The walk from main bus stop to the hotel is short but its very quite and lonely during evenings and night time. There were 1-2 food joints near the hotel since the area was very residential, so you had to ensure you have food in city center before you return back to the hotel. The rooms were clean but the location of the TV was uncomfortable as it was like hanging from the cieling...

this was the first time, we stayed in this hotel and we was satisfied with everything. maybe the breakfast was a little bit poor. overall we can recommend this hotel.
 
From: James Mooney, USA
Date of Stay: May, 2006
The Franchi was essentially just what we were looking for, a clean quiet comfortable hotel near the Florence airport for the night before our departure flight early the next morning. We were actually hoping to find a hotel within reasonable walking distance to the airport terminal. The walk from the Franchi was about 500 meters, and not pedestrian friendly. However, it was a short (5 minutes), reasonably cheap (15 euros) taxi ride to the terminal. I could not find a hotel within reasonable walking distance to the terminal when carrying luggage.
