It is unusual to find a hotel with a large garden, parking lot, and swimming pool less than half a mile from the Duomo. Hotel Royal gives you this and more. This splendid Florentine villa was built in 1700. It was a family residence up until 1950 when it was converted into an elegant hotel. It is set in a green neighborhood of Florence, next to the Fortezza da Basso exhibition center and its park. Each guest room at the Royal is air conditioned. The rooms and common areas are all tastefully decorated with antique furnishings. This family-run hotel guarantees a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and an attentive service. The swimming pool is great for a refreshing dip after a day sightseeing around Florence. The parking lot and swimming pool are both available at an additional cost. Hotel Rooms: 39 Most recent booking for this hotel was yesterday at 07:38 from Philippines.

Location We had the worst experience of our two weeks trip in Italy with Royal Hotel. We booked for Quadruple Room, when we arrived the man at reception(Francesco) told us that air condition in the room is not working so he has to give us two double bed rooms and tomorrow he will give us a quadruple room. We went to the rooms start unpacking & he called after 15 minutes that come down I have a room for you. The huge room in lobby floor we got in and the air condition stopped working after half hour. He came in played with it and start working. He told us by the time we come back from dinner we will see how cold it will be. We got back at 23:00 it was the same hot and terrible. I asked the reception & he said there is not much he can do right now and most of the air condiotions are having problems in this hotel. I & my wife didn't sleep all night. The kids went to sleep around 4:00. next day They gave us another room. We had no water on the same day for 2 hours and the day we had to leave. The breakfast is very poor not even a discent coffee. Hotel is aware of these problems & they just don't care. I expect from Booking.Com to reevaluate this hotel rating so other will not fall into it.

Location, high cellings Had to pay 25 extra for parking (per day), and received an "unofficial" receipt. Swimming pool is 8 Euros extra PLUS 2 Euros if you wanta towel. Notices on the reception indicating all little extras that had to be paid. Staff became friendly, but obviusly are annoyed to have to ask for these extras.

Atmosphere of ancient villa a bit decadent but with glamor, nice garden and relaxing ambient, the staff is limited so is too busy to give a good service but they are kind. Location is convenient and has a parking place, not easy to find in Florence an hotel with parking even if they charge 25 Euro/day, still is convenient to park you car directly at the hotel.

This hotel was the highlight of the trip for my children. The man at the reception humour had them laughing from the minute we arrived. It may not be eveyones taste but it certainly suited us. The location was right in the centre of Florence just 5 minutes walk from the very best of the attractions. The hotel is a very beautiful old building decorated with period furniture. Not by any means a luxury hotel but exactily what I would think of when thinking of Italian accommodation. The charge for the pool was an extra we hadn't budgeted for and expensive when travelling with children. There was not mention of this (as far as I can remember) on the web site

Ottima posizione, posto silenzioso, camera ampia con accesso diretto al giardino. Una grande comodità poter parcheggiare la macchina nel cortile dell'albergo. Lo staff è molto cortese. La colazione potrebbe essere migliorata.

Avons apprécié le calme de l'hotel avec son jardin rare de trouver la tranquilité à 10 minutes à pied du centre touristique de florence avons aimé le style " villa florentine" de l'établissement Avons jugé inadmissible le prix facturé pour le parking et peu recevable l'explication de la direction l' hotel semble vieillissant et mériterait un peu de rénovation ...sanitaires notamment ! à recommander avec quelques réserves

Sicuramente la struttura (ex villa) rende questo hotel fascinoso. Purtroppo nella struttura principale era in tilt il sistema di condizionatore. Ci hanno proposto camere in due piccole depandance, però in questo caso il ripiego è stato si avere l'aria condizionata ma, avere problemi di acqua e illuminazione.

Ligging. Onvriendelijke bediening. 25 euro per dag voor de parking is wat overdreven. 6 euro (per keer) om te zwemmen of aan het zwembad te liggen is belachelijk! Ontbijtbuffer was niet lekker.

Fantastiskt stort och fint 4-bäddsrum i gammal stil. Smidigt att hotellet har egna parkeringsplatser och jätteskönt att, i sommarhettan, kunna ta ett dopp i poolen. Gångavstånd till Florens historiska centrum. Dyrt att bada i poolen, borde ingå i den relativt dyra rumshyran.

Cerca del mercado y de la Accademia. El conserge de la tarde y la senorita de la manana muy atentos. El edificio es lindo pero muy mal mantenido. Te cobran por cada cosa, eso molesta: por internet, que solo lo puedes usar en el estar y hasta determinada hora, por la pileta, por el estacionamiento que en realidad es la parte de adelante del hotel, por la llave de la caja de seguridad, insolito, ningun hotel en toda Europa es así El desayuno pobre
