This hotel was about 15 minute bus ride from the city centre.

From Evan Morikawa - USA

The Grifone was a modern hotel on the outer edge of Florence. While it is a modern hotel with relatively large rooms, the major drawback is the distance from the center of Florence and the extremely crowded bus system that connects the hotel to the center. The bus ride is about 20 minutes and is very very busy at just about all times. I think that next time I might try and find a place closer to the center. The Grifone, however offered a very good price for what can otherwise be a very expensive area. The breakfast in the morning is minimal but sufficient and free. I would recommend easting out instead of at the bar in the hotel. The rooms have wireless internet, but you have to pay for a certain amount of active time. Check in and out were smooth and the staff knew English.

The hotel was much harder to access than advertised, and the hotel didn't give any specific or useful instructions on how to get there. It was complicated to get to our room (they gave us a key chain with 6 keys, we had to change elevators!) The bathroom was not perfectly clean. The hotel was really overpriced for what it offered.

Never, never again !! Very angry !!! Our room in the "dependance" was so small, you could not open the bathroom door completely. We believe, that the hotel management has not invested in new mattresses, neither in new carpets for a very long time, so everything has the "charme" of the 60`tys. The old elevator waked us up several times by shock at three o´clock in the morning, it was as loud as an old truck. Air-condition ? First the remote-control was missing, later on it broke down completely ... and we could not open the windows because of the mosquitos, if you find blood spread all over the walls, it´s ours ! No international programms on the tv, only italian ! Breakfast : one bread-roll p.p., unpolite staff. The doors of the shower could not be closed completely, so also a big mess with the water. Maybe things are better in the main building, but our conclusion is : never ever again !!!

We really appreciated our stay at the Hotel Residence Grifone. The room was big and clean and the bed comfortable, although the AC was not very powerful. The personnel was usually nice but not very well informed. We had access to internet whenever we wanted for a few Euros, it was very practical for us. The breakfast was typically European with very good Italian coffee and served in a beautiful room. There are very few restaurants close to the hotel. It is a little far from downtown Florence, we had to walk 40 minutes to get to it because the bus service was down. There is a bus stop close to the hotel tough. We would go back to this comfortable hotel.

An outstanding hotel in terms of value. The rooms were modern and spotless. The bed was the best we had in Tuscany. The desk staff spoke excellent English and were extremely helpful. A restaurant they recommended was a highlight of our stay in Florence. The hotel has a private, well lit parking area The hotel is about a 20-25 min. walk from downtown (Duomo), but this proved ideal both from the standpoint of price and enjoyment. We would not have liked to be in the very busy Duomo area. (There is also a bus that stops on the nearest corner and goes to the Duomo.) I strongly recommend this hotel.
