I had a excellent stay at Hotel Gioia. Given it's location in bustling and condensed Firenze center city, it was an unpretentious yet comfortable place. The street side room was a bit noisy but an acceptable trade off to have a "window on the city". The staff was very gracious and helpful. I would stay here again...

The two best things about Hotel Gioia are the staff and the location. We spent two rainy days in Florence but the location and the staff allowed us to follow our trip plan without interuption or delay. They provided directions and even supplied umbrellas to get us to our destinations within the city. Close to museums and many fine restaurants. Highly reccomended!

I stayed with my wife at the hotel for seven days and met up with two others travelling from Austrailia. It was very good value for money and really central, very clean and welcoming. My wife was very fond of Pasqualia the morning waiter who was charming. We would recommend this venue to all types of groups but especially for families. We will stay again next year.

Rooms big but not nice. Musty, noisy (floor squeaks, etc)and not comfortable. Very hot in Florence at the time and their air conditioning was not up to the challenge. Food poor. I was disappointed and moved to another hotel the next day. This is a decent choice for a cheap hotel, but not cheap enough to justify it.

Hotel Gioia was marvelous! The people at the front desk were exceptionally helpful and freindly. I would recommend this hotel highly to any travelers. We stayed in two triple rooms and the rooms were spacious and comfortable and clean.

This hotel had a really friendly gentleman working at the front desk. He was welcoming, and helpful with all our traveling questions. The hotel was the perfect location...it was walking distance to the Academia museum, as well as a huge street market. We also were walking distance to the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

I'm a person who tries hard to find a cheap hotel but with great quality and this hotel is exactly that. The rooms are a bit small, but I enjoyed being near the center of the city. The hotel is located betweeen David and the Duomo! The staff were VERY pleasant and spoke english when I spoke english and they humored me when I spoke my broken italian! I enjoyed it.

Hotel was very quiet, good area walking distance from main sights, Pasqual warmed to us eventually, I would say equivalent of a 2 star in the UK stayed 3 nights bed and breakfast. Five ladies who enjoy a city break.

Top central location. Fair price. Quiet room. Absolut competent and friendly service. They helped in all aspects. We will for sure go again. They even provide a garage service where the driver picks up the car.

All I can say is wow. Florence is absolutely beautiful and it was an added bonus to stay at such a nice place with such nice people. It felt more like we were staying with friends than at a hotel. Everyone was very accommodating whether it was helping us with a few needed Italian words or directing us to some great restaurants. Every morning and evening we were greeted with a cheerful staff. Visiting a city for the first time and learning how to get around we never felt alone which helped in our wonderful adventure. We even enjoyed a night cap with the owner. A very pleasant way to call it a night and in the meantime picked up a few tips about the city. We would def absolutely return to this hotel when we visit again. The location was superb and everyone was fabulous.

Everything was ok. Room not too big but perfect. On saturday night there was some music (...or noise), maybe because of a pub or a party near the hotel.

The room was fine and the shower great but the halls were quite noisy so not recommended for light sleepers
