This hotel is conveniently close to the train station, beautifully furnished and polite and efficient staff. Not too far to walk to the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo would be about 15-20 min.s walk. With 2 children it was convenient to find a hotel with a quadruple room which provided separate single beds as well as a queen bed. Only drawback is the complete lack of water pressure in the shower - made showering quite difficult. This hotel has a lift, which was so convenient, as it is on the 4th floor of the building.

Didn't have our confirmed 3 night reservation properly done. We had two different rooms, the first one was good - the second one was very small and the air conditioning did not work. The worker at the desk said the other people didn't complain - the room was 85 degrees (F). The 24 hr. maintence was not true. We got a portable A/C unit for two nights that was very loud and required the window (overlooking nothing but bricks) to be open all the time. The breakfast was average at best - rolls, fruit salid, yougert, cereal. Would not to freinds.

We booked our three night stay at the Goldoni based on the excellent location and the previous reviews on this site, and we enjoyed our visit. The hotel is on the SECOND floor of an old building, so you must first ascend in the old wooden, hand gate elevator with your bags to arrive at the reception, the entryway off the street is a bit of a depressing public space. We arrived at night and a bell and intercom are used at street level to unlock the door for security. Parking for our car was available several blocks further along the same road, so that was convenient for Florence (20 Euros per day, which is average). The area is safe and well traveled. The staff was welcoming and helpful, always polite and friendly. The Hotel’s décor is tired and aged, as are the simple furnishings in the room. Our room was very spacious, located at the back of the hotel (room # 43 I believe) so it was extremely quiet, no street noise. No view, but large French doors opened to overlook an alleyway. In addition, the room had air conditioning, and even for our early October stay, it was useful. The tiled bathroom had a shower, the room very long and narrow but modern and clean. VALUE for MONEY, (location, size of room, etc) the Goldoni is an excellent choice and we will consider it again for our next visit to Florence. Breakfast was included in our booking. However, despite having a traditional espresso machine in the breakfast room, your coffee and cappuccino must be self-made from an automatic machine, which was rather disappointing. Of course, there are many small cafes nearby for a good espresso and brioche. If the breakfast were not included, I would simply venture out each morning instead of paying to eat in the hotel. If you can overlook the tired décor and second floor position, then this is a wonderful choice.

We stayed one night in Florence. The hotel was about a 7 minute easy walk from the train station. The hotel staff were very helpful, and gave us advice for sightseeing in our short stay there. They eve recommended a restaurant which was open on Monday (unusual) and it was excellent. The shower pressure left something to be desired, but the bathroom was a decent size. Great breakfast with an amazing cappucino machine and lots of fresh pastries, breads and cheeses. Would definitely stay here again.

The room was really small and not quite before 4 in the morning with a bathroom without window. Low price but low quality

The location was good. Don't think you are overlooking the river, it is a block off. The hotel itself is adequate and has a funky entrance. The bathroom was the smallest that we experienced on our 3wk trip. The staff was polite. The breakfasts were mediocre, easy to grab a pre-fab muffin to hit the Uffizi line up(2 long blocks away).

The room was very nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, by European standards - don't expect an "American" style breakfast. There is an abundance of food available, as well as a variety of beverages. The hotel is very well located to all sites you may wish to visit and very competitively priced. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return in the future.
