We booked this hotel via the Ryan Air website for an overnight stay in Florence during our two week holiday in Tuscany. In my opinion this is a very pleasant and convenient place to stay right in the centre of the city and you are just a stones throw from everything you want to see, The room was small but... more

By far the worst Hotel I have ever stayed in. We were there in June and the staff were unhelpful and the facilities very poor. we couldn't wait to get to our next destination, which was wonderful. more

If you're looking for accommodations in Florence convenient to the train station and the Duomo, Hotel La Gioconda is a great choice. The hotel is located less than five minutes walk from each on a busy street with other hotels and restaurants. We (one adult with two children in their early 20's) stayed for eight days in late July and... more

Hotel La Gioconda is very well located being some 200m from the train station and 200-300m from the Duomo. However the hotel is not of a 3 star standard. We paid an average of 73 euro a night for a double room and think we were lucky as other rooms were worse. The hotel is a rabbit warren of corridors... more

This dump was classed as a 3* hotel but it was no better than 1* and I'm being kind at that. First impressions were not great - dirty carpeting, no lift and stand-alone air-con that was noisy. The room was very basic and the bathroom though en-suite was cramped. After walking around central Florence and seeing other 3* hotels it... more

Me and a friend just returned from a three night stay at La Gioconda and to be honest it was better than i expected especially for the reviews ive seen on here. Check in took literally one minute and we where off to our room, which was surprisingly big for a standard European hotel. The hotel is very easy to... more

We booked a last-minute city break to Florence through the BAA website, and this hotel came up as the cheapest bundled hotel deal. Hence we weren't expecting much. However, the hotel is very conveniently located, only five minutes walk from the station, and two minutes from the Duomo. Our room (no. 3) was on the first floor (there is no... more

Just got back from a 3 night stay. we were concerned about the advance/adverse reviews we read but overall we were happy with our stay. Bearing in mind that all we needed was somewhere to sleep and shower/change clothes before going out to dinner it was fine. After all, in Florence how much time do you want to spend in... more

Our experience was horrible - our reservation was for a triple room and a double room - when we got there we were told our rooms were on the third floor - NO ELEVATOR - NO HELP - we went up approximately 100 steps - by the time we got to the third floor we were out of breath -... more
