Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Grifone Firenze impresses many guests with its clean and tidy rooms, some of which are quite spacious. The convenient location near a bus stop-just around the corner-makes accessing the Duomo and other parts of Florence easy, and bus tickets are available at the reception. While some guests feel the spa access fee of €20 could be more clearly communicated, many appreciate the tasty and generous Continental breakfast in the dining room, which provides a great start to the day. There's also a bistro next door for supper.

The room was lovely and clean. The breakfast was AMAZING!!! I appreciated that it was quite varied with many options. The staff were super friendly and always helpful.
The location wasn't ideal. It was quite far from the center, about a 30-minute walk. the city tax felt very high. I think the price per night was expensive considering the location.

fantastic stay

friendly staffhotel parkingcigarette smell
the staff was very professional and friendly. the receptionists helped us with our bags after check out and let us leave the car in the hotel parking so we could enjoy our wine tasting. they even gave us an umbrella when it was raining. it was top notch.
the room smelled of cigarettes when we first arrived. we decided to pay for two hours in the spa and were disappointed. the pool area had a strange smell to it so we didn't stay in the spa for the whole two hours.

The staff was kind and helpful! They gave me bus tickets and directions to the Duomo. I liked the breakfast available in the dining room. It helped me start my day.
There was a tourist tax of €7 per day. That was quite high compared to other places I visited.
