The staff was super helpful and spoke several languages. They held our luggage while we explored Florence and helped us get to know the area. Would definitely recommend, especially for families.
This hotel is about 25 mins walk from firenze train station.A fair distance from the major attractions.. Academia Gallery was about 5 mins walk. The hotel is on the second floor of the building .It was quite dated, the carpets were distasteful and full of stains. It was airconditioned but we had to keep asking to lower the temperature down to our liking as they kept putting it to 22 deg. The rooms were spacious, beds and pillows were comfortable, fairly clean but the shower was poorly designed as it kept flooding the whole bathroom everytime we used it. The breakfast was sufficient to start the day with. There isn't a lot of dining options close to the hotel...I would say you can get a better option for the price we paid to stay tbere...
The place had everything we need. The room was spacious and the crew were very helpful and cooperative. The breakfast was superb. It has everything thing you need to start your day. Florence is a walkable city and the hotel gives you that as it is very close to the santa maria novella train station and the most glorious museums and landmarks.

Nice
Nice breakfast in all of Italy. The breakfast area was small, and it was hard to find places to sit. Close to places.
.
Omar & Ellio are very customer experience focus, they are so nice. The hotel has a fantastic air condition, breakfast and tourist information. The room is small but enought for a couple. We can walk to the main attractions, restaurants and bars. I will return to the same hotel. Quality, people, food and experience vs price 10/10.
Beautiful roof top area to look around and well maintained flowers.
Air conditioning was down but the men working on it didn’t give up and eventually did get it going….
Breakfast was very nice with a lot of options. Location was a bit away from train that I took from the airport… I should have gotten a cab to make it easy on myself.
Walking distance to the tourist attractions. You need to have cash to pay the city tax. They do not accept card or bank transfers. Bathroom is small and the lights in the bathroom are away from the shower. It looked old. But it was clean. It wasn't bad as some of the reviews said. The breakfast buffet was very good. There was a shower gel, soap and a dryer.
The staff were very helpful in offering food recommendations and calling us a taxi. The location was also very convenient for walking to the main attractions. And the daily breakfast was very convenient and got us ready for the day.
The AC wasn’t working on the first day. Staff refused to move me to another room until I had to fight it. Then the key lock didn’t work - this was 3 am and the Staff couldn’t open the door with the master key. They had to move me to another room to sleep until the next morning. I requested the refund but was refused. Nice and clean facility but the service was horrible.
This was a great, convenient hotel. Great service, good air conditioning, and also a nice sized room and bathroom (see pictures). Only a mile to the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. Supermarket at the end of the block and easy to get a taxi (they don't really use Uber as much here) to the airport.
Garden Blue is a very nice hotel with friendly hotel staff and good size rooms although the bright orange curtains are a bit much!! It is quiet and convenient for Galleria Acamadia and The Duomo. The roof garden and outside terrace are really lovely with beautiful plants and flowers and a huge television screen in reception /lounge which was great for the Euros.
The television in our rooms as with most European hotels are too high up on the wall so i had a sore neck most nights having watched the euros and wimbledon tennis 2024. Also an English speaking news channel would be a good idea.
The breakfast is amazing with loads of choice and delicious food.
So thanks to Garden Blue in Florence and will come back and recommend it to anyone.
Could not sleep the whole night, AC was promised but was not working on the whole second floor. Room was above 30 degrees, felt like we were in sleeping in a sauna. Tried to bring this up with staff but they did not move us to a room with working AC and also refused to provide any compensation for it. One of the guys at the reception was quite nice and gave useful information about activities in florence.
The location is great. In walking distance to most of attractions and train station. The employees are all very nice and polite and informative. Specially Omar which gave us excellent advice about tours and attractions and made our visit memorable.The breakfast area always clean. Good breakfast. It has lovely terrace and rooftop . Specially the rooftop with lovely flowers and a beautiful view of Florence cathedral.
Our room was nice and clean . Overall I recommend this place . I can only suggest if they can a few pictures of Florence and Italy attractions on the room and corridors wall to make it more cheerful and a cattle and some teabags also would be nice . We had a lovely stay and I definitely recommend the place .
