We found this hotel has friendly and helpful staff, a good breakfast, tight but perfectly adequate parking and is an easy 20 minute walk in to the centre of Florence. The rooms were clean and spacious. Our first room was near the rather noisy air conditioning system which was on from 7am to 10pm. The next day we were moved to the first floor which was much quieter but unfortunately the sound of the lift reverberates through that part of the building. Not a major problem but worth mentioning.

Good location (it's on a quiet/less busy street). A good 25 minutes walk to city center (or 8-10 minutes by bus no 22). Reception staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There's a 2-3 minutes walk to buy food nearby (they close at midnight) if you are hungry at night. If you come with a car, apart from the hotel parking (16 Euro/day), there's a street parking (across the hotel - blue line), it's free from 8pm-8am (8am-8pm, 1.50 Euro/hr). Mine you every 4th Saturday of the month, the city clean the street (12-4am), so you cannot park there (or you will be towed). The hotel is not family-friendly with small kids/infant. There have no baby chair for breakfast (even budget 2/3 star have baby chair!). The wifi could have been improved. They gave you username and password but the wifi keep disconnect by itself (for whatever reason) and you have to re-type username and password few times (5-6 times - really irritating!). I only recommend this hotel if you don't have small kids/infant.

The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful but the hotel is badly in need of an upgrade. Everything appears worn, stained, chipped and not in good working order. The beds are uncomfortable. We stayed in many nice places during our trip in Itay but Western Select was a big disappointment. It really needs refurbishing.

Very spacious and clean rooms.Staff was very helpfull and breakfast was good. The location of the room is quite good. It only takes 3-4 minutes walking to the bus stop and then 5 minutes ride with the bus. If you are young you can walk to the center if you like. Closed secure parking for my motorcycle was also a plus.I had a great time. I think the aircondition is centrally handled for all the rooms.I would prefer to be able to handle the aircondition from my room especially during the hottest days of my stay. But still was ok most of the times.

The hotel front desk man was very kind and helpful. On the second floor, in my room there was a vent in the ceiling that I did not like. You could see inside this vent. I think the hotel covered it so that no one could see inside, but the fact that it was there was not nice.

Staff gentilissimo, cordiale e disponibile. Pulizia delle camere, ottima colazione. La struttura si trova in una zona residenziale ma a soli 15 min dal centro: l'ideale per chi vuole evitare I rumori della "Firenze turistica". Forse la stanza era un po' spartana se paragonata al prezzo. Le foto sul sito di booking non rispecchiano del tutto la verità. Ma la cosa piu' importante era la pulizia: impeccabile!

Very good for the money we spent. Nice breakfast. Parking (room for almost 8 cars). Good position, not so crowded and about 20-25 minutes away from the center. Very kind staff and helped us to whatever we needed. We would definetely stay again in this hotel. The room where the breakfast was served was a bit cold. The rooms could be cleaner but in general were ok.

La disponibilité du personnel (l'hotel a trouvé rapidement un garage pour remplacer notre vitre de voiture), le calme, la taille de la chambre. Bon petit déjeuner.La situation proche de la Gare et du centre ville. Le parking de l'hotel trop petit, vol avec bris de glace dans la rue la premiere nuit.

Avremmo alloggiato perfettamente se non fosse accaduto di notte un forte rumore di acqua sul soffitto della nostra camera. Per fortuna il portiere di notte ci ha cambiato di stanza, permettendoci di lasciare le nostre cose nella camera originaria.

“Excellent location overlooking Florence old part of town. Located on a hill with a beautiful pool. Very helpfull concierge service by suggesting some great dinning experience in Florence. Swimming pool and its surroundings - it made us enjoy the trip even better as it was extremelly hot and so gave us the opportunity to hide away from the heat.” Gasper, Ljubljana |
