We decided to take a family break in Florence with the intention of seeing the major tourist attractions in Florence, as well as having a walk around the city and sampling the Italian cuisine a little more off the beaten track if possible. We flew into Pisa airport and took one of the frequent coach services, which are remarkably cheap, to Florence. It was then 5 minutes walk to the Hotel Globus from the bus / train station. We found the hotel easily and were met at reception with a friendly smile and welcome. The facilities of the hotel were explained to us and we were told that when we went out , that we could leave the key at reception. We found our superior 4 bed, room to be spacious enough for our family of 4. It was clean and well maintained. The separate bathroom was huge by hotel standards and easily good enough for a 4 or 5 star hotel in my opinion. Our room had an HD TV with the local tv channel and Italian satellite tv and a limited selection of international channels. Many of the satellite channels had dual language which was great to keep the children and me entertained. The hotel offers breakfast for free, and this was excellent value. A good selection of croissants, cereals , bread, meats and cheeses , along with the normal toast is on offer. We were also made fresh coffee and our children loved the hot chocolate. The hotel is quiet but within easy walking distance of all the sites and we enjoyed every minute of our stay and hope to visit again.

just step out of the door onto the ponte vecchio! near to all attractions and shops - a great weekend base with helpful staff

Like others have said, definitely walking distance from train station but with luggage can be cumbersome because streets are narrow and not smooth. Taxi to train station was approx 9 euros. This hotel is close to many attractions, duomo, shopping, restaurants etc. All walking distance. Approx 10-20 minutes. Breakfast has a nice selection which was important to us. We didn't just want continental breakfast. Staff great, very helpful. Hotel clean and a decent size. Would highly recommend.

Great location, excellent hotel, slightly noisy if you have the window open but other than that superb!!

This is not an apartment, it is an UNMARKED apartment in an apartment building where other people live. I had to ask around at local businesses and then I resorted to knocking on random doors to try and find out where this place was. This apartment does not have a view of Duomo, you can not contact any staff for issues because no one is around except other tenants that live there, we went in Feb. and the heat was locked so we were cold, and one of the pillows looked like it had been eaten by rats. I would not recommend this place. You were required to carry out your trash and throw it away in a public trash can and the towels in the bathroom were dish towels, not bath towels. We tried calling the phone number provided and their was no answer until the third try.

The room we had was beautiful. We had our own terrace which was perfect for the February sunshine. The staff are very welcoming and were helpful throughout. The room was cleaned to a high standard each day. The breakfast was adequate - they could have been a bit quicker replenishing throughout the time but that is just nitpicking! The hotel is in a perfect location to see the sights of Florence. It was a 2 minute walk to the Academia and it is easy to walk to anywhere in Florence. We would highly recommend the hotel to other travellers.

We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel, few minutes walking distance from the train station with our luggage, and at a short walking distance from every relevant site that we planned to visit. The hotel is very comfortable, the rooms are spacious enough , simple but clean and well maintained. Additionally the staff has made every possible effort to be helpful and serviceable, their help was extremely valuable and efficient. Good breakfast. .

We had a beautiful room overlooking the square. Fantastic and comfortable bed. The breakfast room was so beautiful, and the breakfast served was delicious with lots of choices. This is a nice location -- it was close to the station but not in the gritty neighborhood near the station.

The Panorama is a gem of a hotel for location, affordability, integrity, a great quality breakfast and stunning views from two roof terraces. A mini fridge in the room was a bonus for fresh milk, yogurt, wine, beer, etc. The friendly staff and original artwork gave an authentic experience of Florence.
