The owners of the hotel are a kind couple who keep a clean and well maintained stay. They provided us with information on Florence, tips for touring the city, and even showed up the bus stop closest to the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was tidy with all the amenities we needed.
Everything about our stay was great. The owners of the property are so kind and welcoming.
The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom was also large. The air conditioning and the mini fridge worked very well. The location is great as it’s in a quiet area close to both the train station and tourist areas. It was easy to walk everywhere but there were buses and the tram nearby if needed.
The breakfast was great, with cereal, yogurt, fruit, pastries, meats, bread and cheese as well as freshly prepared baked goods.
The area felt safe and there were lots of local restaurants and cafes to go to.
We’d definitely recommend staying here and we would stay here again if we return to Florence.
Hotel was lovely. Very authentic for a visit to Florence. Just a short walk away from all the major attractions in a quieter part of the city. Very close to the tram and the train station is in walking distant. The hotel was very clean and rooms are very spacious with air conditioning and windows to open. The staff are very welcoming and happy to help with any questions. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choice. Items were regularly topped up.
We had a very lovely stay at Hotel Giglio for 3 nights and when we arrived we were greeted welcomingly by one of the co-owners Roberto who was very useful as he told us how to work everything in the hotel and gave us a map of Florence highlighting where to go and not go. The room was very clean, and a cleaner came round every day to clean are room, which was lovely. The breakfast was also very nice and consistent, it was a very lovely way to start each morning. Also, when we stayed in Florence, there was a heatwave, so it was very useful that the air conditioning was on point.

Great hosts, comfortable beds, nice sheets and towels, good location; breakfast could be better and needs an update.
We will be back next year and definitely will be says at Hotel Giglio! Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance or the tram stop is maybe 100ft away. Lots of places to eat.
We had a great stay at this hotel. It’s easily accessible by tram T2 (Cavour Station) from the airport (20 minutes) .
Located in a building with impressively high ceilings, it is beautifully decorated and welcoming.
It has everything you need: clean and well-equipped, nice shower, toiletries and towels, silent and modern climatisation, etc...
Breakfast is really nice: savory and sweet options, homemade cakes, and fresh fruit cut right in front of us.
Marco knows the city inside and out: in just 15 minutes after our arrival, he’d drawn us a map with the main sights highlighted, a recommended itinerary, and the best places to see and those to avoid : the best guide you can dream of !
In short, if we ever return to Florence, I’ll book here again right away. This is a faire and attractive price considering the location, the hospitality, and the service provided
Marco and Manuela are the kind of people who make you feel right as if you were at home : you won’t want to leave them unless you’re coming back to see them very soon !
We were 2 friends, who stayed 3 nights. Good location. Quiet and close to the center and the tram. Good breakfast with homemade cakes.
Very friendly reception, who had good advice what to see in Firenze and surroundings.
We will definitely stay there again.

Stayed for 5 nights in May 2024 and had a wonderful time. The property owners are very kind and helpful. Rooms are basic but very comfortable and clean, the shower was terrific. Very easy to walk everywhere from here and at night it is very quiet. Always felt very safe and welcome at the Hotel. I highly recommend Hotel Giglio for a positive Florence experience.
Friendly and helpful owners who explained exactly where and when to go see the sights. Only a 20min saunter into the centre of Florence with air conditioning and a yummy breakfast! Only thing to note is not suitable for those that struggle with stairs as on the second floor.
