Breakfast is varied and exceptional quality. Staff couldn't be kinder. Room was spotless and everything worked. Wifi is smokin' fast. But the best thing about the Gioia is the location. It is right where U want to be in Florence.

Stephen United States of America

Comfortable bed, good bathroom, well located, a good hairdryer (not those wall mounted ones)! Great restaurant on the same street and a little grocery store on the other side of the hotel. Very accomodating: we asked if we could come get our breakfast and eat it in the room. Thank you!

Solange Luxembourg

Great Location, next to the cathedral and David (Michelangelo). Nice breakfast. I liked the pillows a lot, good bed. Clean bathroom and room. We didnt have a car, but parking is available around. Great price.

Marcela United States of America

The hotel is old but has been renovated recently. The room was nice, clean, modern, everything worked, AC worked. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent! It is like 2 blocks from the Florence market and on the same street as the Medici Riccardo palace, and also the street where you can book walking tours. Very very convenient.

Juan United States of America

Hotel Gioia has a wonderful location, the rooms are very clean, with a large bathroom and with all the commodities needed( i.e. TV, Internet access, Fringe and AC unit). What is also great about this hotel is the staff; courteous, helpful and always present (24/7). Highly recommend if you visit the wonderful city of Firenze!
