Our small tour group of 14 stayed here this past month in June 2008 for two nights. The Jolly Carlton is in the process of major renovations. Scaffolding and cloth cover about 70 % of the windows. It took me three different room changes over a period of one night to find a working AC to cool the room. 35... more

My wife and I stayed at the Jolly the week of May 26th with a group and the group consensus was this was the worst hotel we stayed at in two weeks. The restaurant has no ambience and poor food.The bar only opens occasionally when they feel like it. The floor we were on was recently renovated but nothing worked..no... more

first impression good though very much a 60's style hotel . I had a large room with a small balcony and marble bathroom. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the staff were friendly, all plus points. The location is ok too its a nice walk into town along the Arno. Now the down side the air conditioning really... more

We stayed at the Jolly Hotel Florence in late March on a Globus tour The hotel is located near the train station at the edge of the historic area, which means you have a 15 minute walk or bus ride to get to the center of the city. The room was small but nice, the hotel common areas were nice,... more

This hotel very nice. The room was spacious had a small balcony. The bathroom was beautiful and the staff was friendly. The lobby was huge and was a good place to relax. more

The location was ok, not brilliant. It is on the edge of town, so took us about 15 minutes to walk into the centre of Florence, but... more

The Jolly was a very nice hotel. The floors were marble and the room and bathroom was very large. The tourist sights in Florence (Doumo, mercado) were a short walk (~20 min) through side streets that looked very safe, even at night. Although I had a corner room on the street side, the noise was not bad except for a... more

This is an excellent 4 star hotel located only 15 minutes walk from the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery, I know I walked it! Room - spacious, refurbished in 2005 and a marble bathroom with which my better half fell in love with. Price - We booked directly with the hotel and were given a very competitive rate, including... more

Stayed at this hotel as part of a Globus tour. It was horrendous. The room smelled nasty, the front desk was rude, the breakfasts (and one included dinner) were awful and worst of all, all the staff was rude and unhelpful. It's really a shame, because the tour itself was great and the other hotels were excellent. Globus dropped the... more
