Lovely stay in a beautiful villa
Lovely experince staying at Villa Royal. The breakfast was amazing, so much choice and variety day to day. My room was a little bit small, but I was out all day anyway so I didn't mind. The bed was super comfortable, which was very much appreciated after walking all day. The staff were very friendly and helpful when asked for advice and tips on where to go for food. I will definitely book again when I'm next in Firenze.

Good breakfast. Breakfast staff very friendly. Front desk staff very efficient. Fast check in and out. Convenient to places of interest and the main train station. Felt safe walking around in the area. Facility is overall nice but the shower place door had loose seals and water got out and wet the floor. Besides that everything is good.

Enjoyed our stay here. This is an older hotel but maintains a special charm that you can’t find at other accommodations. The staff was lovely, and we were even allowed to check in early. The breakfast buffet was mediocre and there’s a mildew smell in some places but overall, we had a positive experience.

We spent two nights here in Florence. Room was sufficient in size. Bathroom shower was a bit small. The staff was awesome and the hotel is within a walkable distance from the sights.

This hotel was beautiful. The amenities were great and the breakfast was amazing. It’s hidden away from the busy streets of Florence but still in an ideal location that’s a short walking distance to all the major spots. There are so many dining and shopping options minutes away. I would choose Hotel Royal for my next trip to Florence without a doubt.

3 October 2024
DO NOT STAY HERE!! Service is awful. The rooms are outdated and ugly. We were given a handicap room with a shower door that was broken and did not have a seal at the bottom causing 2” of water to pool in the entire bathroom. Told the staff who gave us one more towel to mop it up ourselves. We asked for another room and told there were none available only to look online and find there were actually rooms available that night. The front desk staff, Carlo, was incredibly rude and dismissive. When we showed him the large pooling of water throughout our bathroom, he proceeded to ask if I had never dealt with any issues in our lives as though I was being a pretentious princess or something merely asking for a functioning room. I was appalled at his response. I don’t have super high expectations when staying at any hotel other than a clean and safe room with facilities that actually work.
We tried to speak to a manager and Carlo told us to call the phone number to the hotel. I replied I would and he said he would be the one to answer the phone when we called. What a joke. So when we call to complain about our less than standard room, he would be the one we would be dealing with again?
They moved our room the next day, but the shower in that room leaked as well and was slow to drain. We didn’t even bother mentioning this until checkout as we knew nothing would be done because it was Carlo working the desk. Overall, one of the worst experiences at a hotel I’ve ever had.

ViIla Royal is a beautiful hotel. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet and an easy walk to cafes and sites. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There is on site parking. The pool is great and the courtyard is quiet and cozy. The breakfast was very good and there is a small bar to pick up a beverage to enjoy in the courtyard. I highly recommend this hotel.

I had a lovely stay, everything within the room itself was great. Only issue was the room was right next to the elevator so it was quite noisy with other guests and luggage noise outside
