Date of Stay: June, 2007

I had to keep waking up in the middle of the night to empty the air conditioner water bin when it stopped working. I found someone elses dental floss haning out of the bathroom garbage bin. They have a security door to get in after 11 o'clock, you need to swipe a magnetic key in front of a box to get in. One night it wouldn't work and I had to call the hotel to open up the door. Good thing I had a boyfriend around and a cell phone. The overall feeling I had there was that I was staying in a private dingy home where the proprietors felt as though I was an imposition.

Second time in Florence.Perfect location for a short stay.Quiet room without a view.Unfriendly staff!!!

Hotel Corte dei Medici has a very good location, not far from the Duomo. The rooms are nice. We can absolutely recommend this hotel, but be aware that it can be a bit difficult to find (upon arrival), because the entrance is rather anonymous. Ask someone local to point it out for you.

From: Dwight Simonson, USA

Date of Stay: May, 2006

Very friendly and hospitable staff and a perfect location. We will visit again!

From: Karine Peris, Switzerland

Date of Stay: May, 2006

the comments I could read about this hotel on your site before my stay at the hotel could let me expect a good relationship price/quality. It wasn't the case once on the spot! Cleanliness of the room very poor, dusty, awful view on an interior junkyard, dusty tilling. The positiv points are the very good situation of the hotel in the town, nice employees and correct breakfast. As a conclusion I would say that even if you know that you stay in a 2 star hotel you can at least expect the rooms to be clean.

Spent two wonderful weeks at the Giada in February. Eva, Antonio and Maurizio were friendly and always willing to help. I had a single room which was ample in size for one person. The room was cleaned daily. The bath seemed to have been remodeled lately. I appreciated having shower doors, hot water, and a good shower spray. All the bathroom facilities worked well. The breakfast room was delightful and there was a good variation including breads, toast, fruit, yogurt, cereals, juice, meats and cheeses and coffee and tea. The location is great for seeing the sights and is walkable from the train station. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Date of Stay: December, 2005

Good hotel next to the San Lorenzo church and market and walking distance to all sites. Very noisy as we were in an outside facing room to a side street where the market people would drag their carts. Earplugs needed. Breakfast was good and access to the internet was a bonus. Great market. Plenty of resturants in the area with reasonable prices.

From: CW, United Kingdom

Date of Stay: October, 2005

Giada is, above all, very good value for money in a city where hotels are expensive. This is a small 2-star hotel so don't expect facilities outside your room because there aren't any to speak of: a small reception area (with a few seats and some reading matter) and a breakfast room. Our room was a good sized double for a European hotel, slightly dated decor but everything in good order and very clean. Bathroom was small but newly fitted and very clean. The rooms at the front can get a bit noisy - the hotel fronts onto the San Lorenzo street market and the traders start to set up early in the morning. There is also a bar so you hear voices until about midnight (no music though). These rooms also open straight into the breakfast room which is slightly disconcerting, but you get used to it. Other rooms are further back in the building and probably suffer less in this way. The breakfast served is a good continental buffet style - plenty of it and decent quality. The guy who serves it could learn to smile (and occasionally speak!) The location is excellent - right in ther heart of San Lorenze, you can reach all the major city-centre attractin sof Florence in an easy 10 minute walk (or in the case of the Medici Chapels, 45 seconds). If you are arriving in Florence by train the station is only a ten minute walk also (coach station another 5 mins). Despite one or two minor negatives Giada is a very good value hotel in Florence and recommended.

Date of Stay: October, 2005

Our room was to the street and above a restaurant, so it was very noisy. But overall it was a good hotel and the price was good. Perhaps the other rooms were quiter. The Breakfast was very good. We liked it very much that the hotel was in the center (as you can see on the photos of the hotel). If you like to stay in this hotel we recommend you to ask for quite rooms.

From: Celia Odonnell, USA

Date of Stay: September, 2005

As many others have said, the location of this hotel cannot be beat for the price. I've visited Florence before, but in such a centrally located hotel was a real treat. If you're room is right on the street, it can be loud. Also, the air conditioning didn't work great, so we had to sleep with the windows open.

From: JD, United Kingdom

Date of Stay: August, 2005

I was very very disappointed. After all the online reviews I read, especially about the owners being welcoming, I found that this was not the case. The market outside makes it EXTREMELY noisy from 5.30am onwards. You hear evry single sound in your room, from talking, to doors slamming. I understand now why the hotel rating is so low. I will advise anyone to stay in a another hotel in the vicinity.

Absolutely marveous location. 10 minutes walk from the Duomo. Free internet access, good breakfast. I would stay here for sure again.

From: Doreen Anderson, USA

Date of Stay: July, 2005

The rooms and service were in line with a 2 star facility but I don't feel that the prices were. Slightly too high for the value.

From: Emily Hofmann, USA

Date of Stay: March, 2005

the location of this hotel can't be beat. it's central to everything! i loved walking out to the bustling san lorenzo market every morning and waking up to the church bells. the price vs. quality of the hotel for the city of florence...is the best deal we've found. the breakfast is perfect. the rooms were very simple, yet clean. the staff was very nice. my boyfriend and i had a great time staying here...we even stayed an extra night! i would definetly stay here again and recommend it to any of my friends. thanks hotel giada!

Small hotel right in the heart of Florence. Rooms are a good size, breakfast is adequate, but location is quite noisy at night. The main Florence market is at the front door which starts quite early in the morning and an alley way running down the side of the hotel outside our room which mean it was noisy all night.

From: Dorinda Jung, USA

Date of Stay: November, 2004

The noise from the flea market right outside the hotel took some time to get used to. I would recommend that the hotel indicate in their introduction on the website that the market may hide their hotel sign but to look for the yellow building with green shutters. Regards.

From: Richard Haefner, USA

Date of Stay: September, 2004

The best thing about our stay at Giada was the staff. They went out of their way to help with arrangements for transportation and sightseeing. The location was central and easy to walk to train or bus station. Value of money paid to our stay at the Giada was excellent.

From: Joan Little, USA

Date of Stay: September, 2004

Located at the San Lorenzo Mercato, it was a noisy street scene each morning as all the vendors congregated. It all cleared out about 9:00 p.m., the streets were cleaned and it was amazing. The breakfast was great and the coffee the best in Italy. Our hostess was extremely helpful getting tickets and giving directions. Very convenient to train station and walking distance to all sites. Great place!

From: RF, Italy

Date of Stay: July, 2004

A fine hotel, clean, well run, and in a central location; the air conditioning and extensive breakfast spread make it a real value. The only problem is the noise, from the S. Lorenzo market and loud tourists at night.

From: Michelle Murphy, Ireland

Date of Stay: July, 2004

Good hotel - very central location right beside San Lorenzo and the Medici Chapel. We got a 24 hour access card so we were free to return to the room whenever we wanted. Breakfast buffet was adequate - croissants, yoghurt, cereal, juice, cold meats/cheese etc. Room was of normal size for Italian hotel rooms, and we had all the facilities promised - air conditioning, safe, TV, phone etc. There was also internet access in the lobby. On our first day, we found that the previous occupant of the room had taken their key home with them so we had to leave it at reception for the day and come back by 11pm, but that was only one day and wasn't the hotel's fault. The staff at reception were quite helpful. Although there was a busy market right outside the hotel, we didn't hear any noise in the mornings, or any noise from the breakfast area etc, which was great (and we can't say the same for some other hotels in Italy!) One suggestion - the hotel should provide more photos of the hotel itself for the website. Michelle Murphy & Ben Curry July 04
