Hotel Golf

We hoped that the breakfast was a bit better. Some eggs omelettes, scrambled eggs, and sauteed mushrooms are the basic things that everyone expects for breakfast nowadays. I heard from some clients about the same issue, especially those who have children. But overall it was okay. Not used to cold breakfast.

Staff is polite and professional. Easy check in. Location is very good. Breakfast was good and not crowded. WIFI was good. Room size is very decent. Parking with few spots, but private.

The Hotel is conveniently located for train travel, an easy 10 minute walk from the train station, and also convenient for Tram transport to the airport. It is within a quarter mile of the Tram stop. The Golf is well kept and clean, and the price includes a nice breakfast. The neighborhood is outside of central, old-town Florence, and slightly removed from the biggest 'crush' of tourists. Plenty of restaurants and cafes are in walking distance, as are the old town and both sides of the Arno. For opera buffs, it is close to the new Florence Opera House - the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre.

We liked the location. In 15-20 minutes, you're in Piazza del Duomo, Piazza Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, and many other attractions. We loved how clean the hotel it was. They came and changed the towels/made up the beds every day, which is a lot more than any 4* hotels usual offer. We liked the fact that there was parking for free, although we arrived at the hotel late in the evening they still had parking spaces available ( this is a great location and to find a hotel like this with free parking it's an absolute bargain). The breakfast was very nice, they had a very good choice from cheese, mini mozzarellas, ham, boiled eggs , yoghurts, croissants etc. The 2 ladies at breakfast were very nice and friendly. We had our 2 years old daughter running around and they were very understanding and patient. I saw in the previous reviews that someone said the shower was small. Personally, I think that's a bit unfair. The shower was absolutely fine, and the pressure was very good. They even give you shower caps. We liked that the mattress was quite firm, great for the posture and the pillows not too high ( both very comfortable) . Also, I liked the fact there was a mini fridge, very useful as we have a little girl, and it was perfect to keep things cool. We really liked the hotel, and we'd go back in the future. The only thing I would have liked better would have been a room that's on the same floor with the lifts. We had a baby, pram, 2 big cases, rucksack, and we had to go down a big set of steps, which was a little challenging with all our stuff. Also, we didn't like there were some noisy ladies talking quite loudly until midnight outside their room on the corridor ( this is not the hotel's fault, though just inconsiderate people). Everything else was great! Thank you, Hotel Golf. We really enjoyed our stay and we'll be back next time we're in Firenze.

The Hotel is perfectly located. Closed parking place (availability is not guaranteed), bus stop is 20 meters from the entrance to reach different must-see destinations in the city. Air-conditioned room, fair breakfast, no espresso (it is not a problem to get one anywhere in Italy, so we solved it..). The Central Station and the Duomo is max. 10-15 minutes on foot (tourist tempo, window-shopping ). Friendly staff.
