Hotel Giglio - Florence, Italy 

"Highly Recommended!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We loved Hotel Giglio. It is a small "boutique" hotel in a wonderful location - a five minute walk to "David" and a bit further to the Duoma. We walked all over Florence from here. Marco, the owner, is totally interested in making his guests happy. He chats with everyone during breakfast - and by the way, breakfast is simple but adequate, and enhanced by the wonderful woman who makes your coffee to order. The room we had was on the small side, but to be expected in a 3-star hotel. It was immaculately clean, had lovely linens, and three English language TV channels. If you need to park a car, make sure to let the hotel know. They have an arrangement with a nearby gated lot, for a reasonable additional charge. The family also owns a fantastic restaurant in Florence, Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco. Yum!

A lovely hotel. The staff is very helpful and recommended a couple of terrific restaurants, arranged for museum tickets, and provided free transport to the train station when we left. The breakfast was delicious and generous. I would recommend this hotel.

My wife and I visited Florence April 2009The staff were most attentive and helpful. When they learned that we were running late for the Uffizi reservation time they immediately offered to drive us. The room overlooked a backyard in a residential area, with clothes drying on the balconies. It was a most delightful experience.

Hotel was very nice, location was pretty good but a little ways from the center, which was tough on the very hot days when I was there. It's definitely a hotel that caters to foreigners and tries to make you as comfortable as possible. They drove me to the train station themselves.

There was always a smile and a welcome at the desk. Everyone there seemed to really want to help in any way they could and yet all done in a thoroughly professional way. The desk provided excellent use of Internet facilities to provide information of any kind. The room was classic, high cielinged and just right for Florence. We had a super time there.
