Grand Hotel Mediterraneo

This was a gret pick for our two-night stay in Florence. The hotel is within walking distance (20 minutes) of the main attractions. We chose not to walk and managed with a combination of buses and taxi. The staff is very friendly and we even got free parking because the room we wanted was not available. So we got an upgrade and free parking!! This is a big hotel with all the services you would expect . The rooms were a bit small but clean and modern. A great value!!

This is an absolutely gorgeous hotel to stay in. Going against the typical and infamously small European room, the Grand Hotel Mediterraneo offers a shockingly spacious and comfortable place to sleep. Upon walking into our triple room (sleeps three with three beds) I was shocked at the size and elegance of the place. After staying in a tiny, seemingly closet sized room with two other teenagers in Venice, I was pleased to find I could have plentiful space to move about. Furthermore, the food in the hotel was rather pleasant, although I would definitely encourage guests to get out and sample the local cuisine. The location was not within immediate proximity to the sights of Venice, but it was certainly not in a bad location at all. Just across the street is the Arno River where guests can walk through a beautiful park and take in the scenery. A walk into the center of the city is only 10 or 15 minutes, but it seems shorter if you take the sidewalk along the river, which is absolutely beautiful, during the day and the night. Finally, the decor of this hotel is beautiful and you truly feel like royalty, while paying a moderately reasonable price for the location. The service is exquisite and informative and staying here truly takes away the stress of travel so you can make the most of your journey. Hands down the best hotel I stayed at in Italy.

Best Value Hotel in Florence

My wife and I chose a "superior room." It was small, but clean, quiet and comfortable, with a beautiful view. It also came with robes and slippers. The food was good, but the service was very slow and the menu choice was limited. We went to the restaurant next door that had both good food and service at a more reasonable price. There was no shuttle bus, but taxis were quickly available and bus stops were a short walk away. The lobby was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. I can certainly recommend it as a best value.

Contrary to other reviews, this is NOT in an unsafe neighborhood. BONUS-Single rooms are a double bed.. Unheard of in Europe! I am a late sleeper though and would have liked a do not disturb sign as housekeeping knocked by 10ish.
