This accomodation couldn’t be anymore convenient. From the daily breakfast(gluten free options) which was great.Hotel Gioia was in an amazing location. In the heart of Florence. Easy walk to restaurants, transportation to the local landmarks and attractions.
We didn’t need to use any public transport till we left Florence. Clean and tidy and the staff are super friendly. One of our best stays while travelling in Europe. Thank you for the wonderful memories our family have made in this beautiful city.
Would love to come back and stay here again.

Hidden gem next to Duomo
Hidden gem right next to the famous Florence cathedral. Perfect for sightseeing as it is steps away. Safe, clean, comfortable and exceptional customer service. Highly recommend!

Comfortable hotel and good location
Overall a good hotel and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and nice.
The location is good as it is close to Florence Dome and other tourist attractions.
A minor downside is navigating through the corridors to reach your room when you have luggage. There are multiple stairs that you have to take where the elevator doesn’t go so it makes it challenging
But overall a good hotel

Amazing amazing amazing stay!!! We had to book last minute after an issue with our planned VRBO stay, and the hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotels location was excellent and right near the major sites to see, as well as a clean & wonderful room.

This is not a 3-star hotel. This is a 2-star hotel in a convenient area. The staff has decent customer service skills. My room was terrible. The AC was freezing when it was on, and the room was too hot when off. The beds were uncomfortable and the room was run-down. Considering what I paid, it was not worth it at all. I realize I went at a busy time, but if you are charging that rate, the rooms have to be in better shape, no matter how busy Florence is.
