Hotel Porta Faenza address: Via Faenza 77, Florence, 50123

Hotel Porta Faenza details: Situated near to one of the now demolished gates in the wall which once surrounded the city, the hotel was established from the renovated home of a well-known family of Florentine merchants.

The terracotta, stonework and the fine collection of old tools on display around the hotel are all authentic features of the original house. These historic aspects, combined with modern comforts aim to offer you a unique stay in the heart of Florence.

Located close to the railways station, city centre and many of the main attractions, the hotel offers an ideal base for you to explore the sights.

The 24 hour reception also ensures a memorable stay as the friendly staff are available for any query you may have.

We stayed here for one night. A few things: 1) We were put in a smaller room due to them being overbooked. 2) The room had bed bugs. My wife and I both had bites on our legs and arms. 3) The room stank of smoke and stale air. 4) The room was tiny and the bed was not a queen as we reserved. When we tried to change the room or get a discount for our troubles, we were told that it wasn't possible. The front desk woman didn't try to address our concerns. Basically, she just defended the cleanliness of her room and told the bed was a queen. Avoid at all costs.
