Convenient, full-service hotel

My family stayed at Hotel Embassy during a brief trip to Italy over the holidays. The hotel was very well located near to the major sights, yet did not suffer from street crowding common with other tourist hotels. Very clean rooms and services.

Hotel Embassy was great. It was located close to the train station, so it was quick and convenient to get to the station when travelling to other cities for day trips etc. However it is very close to the trams and unfortunately you can hear the trams going by periodically even with the windows closed. That didn’t bother us too much though. The room was spacious, clean, and had what we needed, however we wished the room had a couch or some chairs to sit on so we would have more comfortable options to sit on instead of sitting on the bed. The room had 2 stools, which get uncomfortable for the back if sitting for a long time. The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was tasty and had many options. Great affordable pick for those traveling to Florence.

Our room was ready early so we got a chance to drop our luggage and recuperate after a very long travel day. The hotel is walkable from the train station, so we could avoid needing another mode of transportation although the area around the train station is necessary to be alert. Lastly, our family room with another room with beds and a second bathroom (amazing) for our kids gave us plenty of room - more than we ever expected.

Good location. Staff were lovely. Room was big and clean. Shower was great. Only two slight negatives we're the bed is a tad hard and it can get noisy from activity in the hotel, depending which room you get. We had a room that got a bit of noise from people walking past, although it didn't really bother us as we were always too tired from enjoying Florence to notice!

Superbly placed hotel for rail travel into Florence and onlt a short walk from the major sights of the city. Staff were incredibly helpful both on check in and check out and the room was lovely. Breakfast was fine. Location is less inviting at night but all city train stations have similar problems.

Pessoas e local excelente.

Adorei o atendimento, desde da recepção ao café da amanhã. As pessoas são gentis, e a comunicação foi fácil. A localidade expecional perto do centro histórica e da estação. O que deixou a desejar foi o ar-condicinado, devido ao calor, não tive muita autonomia em relação ao controle de temperatura e a limpeza do chão e a roupa de cama, poderia ser melhor. Mas foi excelente custo-beneficio.
