What guests think

Hotel Franchi is praised for its convenient airport location, clean rooms, and friendly, accommodating staff, but reviews repeatedly note app-based self check-in can be confusing and thin walls cause noise, making it best for short, practical stopovers.

Access to the terminal typically requires a taxi or scheduled shuttle, and walking is reported as impractical despite the short distance. An on-site bar/lounge serves drinks, light meals and simple breakfasts, but nearby dining is limited. Rooms are generally small/basic with comfortable beds; some mention balconies, while a few note missing fridges or temperature control issues. Expect a straightforward overnight base near the airport.

Hotel Franchi was not a great place to stay at. The staff is ok but the hotel itself is not. The elevator is tiny. Barely big enough for 3 Adults without any luggage. For my family of 4 we had to take the elevator 3 trips up and down just to get our 4 suitcases into our room. Room was small as most rooms are in Europe so no surprise there. But you will hear everyone come up and down the hallway all night long. We didn't sleep well at all there. Plus the area has many outside noises that you will also hear quite often. The room itself is cold. Adjusting the thermostat was futile. Heater would turn itself off after only a couple of minutes. But room would still be cold. You would expect the heater to work once it got cold outside. Lastly, breakfast was very limited even for a full breakfast. No eggs, not even hard boiled eggs available. No Milk either. But to say one thing nice is that their bar is fully stocked. But that didn't help my family. Never choosing this hotel again.

What a find! I expected a pkace this clise to the airport, and at such a reasonable price, to be quite average. Which would have been fine. But Hotel Franchi is a gem! Great, above-and-beyond service. Welcoming staff. A lovely lounge area on the ground floor, with a small pub for drinks and food. Clean and comfortable room, with a balcony! I can't say enough about how lovely this place is. For accessibility: one step up to get in the door and a small elevator if you don't want to use the stairs. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Florence.

Great location with easy access to the airport. The property offers airport shuttle service for a fee. Also a lovely restaurant & bar with delicious dinner options in a cozy setting. Breakfast available for a modest fee so that’s a plus especially if you’re catching an early morning flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

I had a 6am flight and wanted a hotel close to the airport, Franchi was described as having airport shuttle and that was the ONLY reason I booked it. When I asked about the shuttle I was told the hotel does not have it and that I should order a taxi. Now, it is merely 900m from the terminal, but via semi-industrial area that does not have sidewalks, no option to walk at all, let alone with suitcases. Reception assured us the taxi would be 15 euros (a rip-off, considering the distance), but then we were charges 22 euros, for 900m ride! Next time I would stay downtown instead of moving closer to the airport the night before departure, because not only the information about the shuttle was not correct, the surrounding area looks awful. Booking this hotel was a big mistake.

Basic hotel but clean and friendly staff. Nice little outside seating area for drinks in the evening. Limited dining options but dinner and breakfast available (extra cost). Be aware there is another ‘Hotel Franchi’ on Google maps - double check the address if you use it! Also, there are mosquitoes everywhere at night - the hotel has plug ins in the rooms - definitely use them! Nice for a basic stay if you are using it as a base to explore Florence. Metro station Guidoni is an 6 minute walk away and the journey to the centre of Florence is 15 minutes with tickets €1.50 each way.

We were here the night before an early flight and the airport shuttle was prompt and courteous. We even had dinner and drinks that I would recommend on the hotel patio.

Everything is ok except for the thin walls. We could hear everything that was spoken in the neighbor rooms. And, late at night, one of our neighbors had a very noisy intercourse, which was pretty uncomfortable. Not the hotel's fault, but something has to be done to avoid all the sound to move across the walls.

This is a budget hotel close to the airport. They sent very confusing instructions for the keyless entry. We could not get it to work. When we arrived they helped us get the App working on our phones. The office is only open til 10:00 pm so if you arrive after that there is no one there to assist you. The room was very hot, the air conditioning blew out warmer air than outside. We could not adjust the thermostat lower than 75 degrees F. Only two pillows were provided (we had to ask for two more). The small bar in the lobby was cute for a drink and had a limited breakfast menu in the morning.

Didn\'t respond to emails. Didn\'t send promised email with links to set up smartphone.They apparently speak of "emails" but mean "WhatsApp," which we don\'t have. Showed up and had to wait a long time as they tried to set up my smartphone. All attempts failed. Eventually gave us key card after we stood around for 15 minutes. Process is all to save 5 cents on cost of key card and be "modern"? Website includes false information about parking and, oddly, ZTL, which they acknowledged but are unlikely to change. Tired to call to determine if website info true, but it took numerous phone calls before they picked up and acknowledged info was false (about that location). And why no place to put soap in shower? Another attempt to save a couple of euros by not installing soap holder? Cheap discount-store quality furniture. As crow flies, very close to airport (which is why booked), but in reality taxi to airport is 20 euros.

Hotel itself was fine for our one-night stay. Must be tech savvy -- no onsite personnel - all communication & entry access done via app. Communication was clear & we had no problem. However, we booked specifically due to an early morning flight and were concerned about our ability (in English) to secure a taxi from downtown that early as we were told they would not yet be at a taxi stand & had to be booked over the phone in advance. Previous reviews mentioned an easy walk to airport. It is a quick walk. But walk is along a very busy highway with no pedestrian path. Even at 4:00am we were dodging cars/trucks while pulling our suitcases across the road. Be aware.

Decent hotel especially for the price. Well situated by the airport. Clean, balcony included, stylish open space for eating and wokring.

There is a major concern over privacy.
