Some typical guests' reviews:
"The staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was clean and air-conditioned, the location was excellent, and there was even free internet access. Furthermore, the prices are reasonable and exactly as quoted. I will definitely book with this hotel again when I return to Florence."
"Fantastic value for money (but also very nice!)"
"Very friendly staff and clean room. The receptionist Nicholas was very helpful and lugged our heavy bag up cheerfully to our room. Internet access in the room, and there is a quicker connection in the restaurant. There is a laundromat around the corner which was very convenient. Lovely time here and will certainly stay here on our next visit."
"Stay at the Globus Hotel if you want to stay in a very friendly, clean, efficient and well located hotel! The staff were always very pleasant and helpful, ready to make our stay as pleasant as possible at all times. The rooms, although not huge were very comfortable, the air conditioning was a godsend! The fact that internet and email access was readily available was also a great help for those of us who have come to rely so much on technology."
"When I booked our various Italian lodgings on Venere , it was with great trepidation since we had never been to Europe. Reading guide books and hearing the experiences of a friend who had been in Italy recently were our only preparation. Arriving at the Globus dispelled all fears. From that moment forward, every member of the staff bent over backwards to welcome us warmly, answer any question, offer advice, make arrangements or recommendations or help a guest with anything whatsoever that he or she might need. The rooms were clean, modern and completely comfortable. There was never a shortage of hot water or clean towels. A laptop computer in the breakfast room was available to guests most of the day and into the evening. The breakfasts equalled or surpassed those at our other Italian lodgings. Our "superior double" room had a balcony with a grand view of the Basilica di San Lorenzo cupola and Medici Chapel rooftops. The location is exceptionally convenient to the San Lorenzo markets, Santa Maria Novella church and the rail/bus stations. Of course, in Florence, all the "hot spots" are in a relatively small area. If, like me, you want more than the very modest mom and pop pensione but not the price or luxuries of a 5-star hotel, book the Globus with confidence."
"We spent 4 nights at the Globus Hotel and did not want to leave! We found their attention to detail and overall service to equal that of a five star hotel. Breakfast was held in a relatively small room but this afforded the opportunity to meet and talk with other guests of the hotel. Having spent a month travelling Italy we are happy to say that Hotel Globus was by far the the best. We miss Michaele, all his staff and can't wait to return."
"This is the second time I have stayed at the Globus. Whenever I return to Florence, I will stay here again. I loved it the first time and this time was even better. I loved the friendly staff, the convenient location, and the rooms for the price. Keep up the great work."
"This is a great hotel. It is situated in a good area in Florence. 5 minute walk from the train station...10 minute walk to Duomo....15 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio. The staff is incredible as well. Extremely professional and always willing to help make you stay more enjoyable...from dining suggestions to a night out dancing. The hotel was recently renovated as well! The furniture, flooring, and overall appearance of the hotel is very modern...with free internet in your room as well as the breakfast room. I have already recommended this hotel to my friends and will definitely stay here when I come back to Florence!!"
"The Globus Hotel is a 5-star experience. Charming staff, great facilities and great location. It was the best value in lodging in our 3 weeks in Europe. It's ideally located near charming street markets, plenty of restaurants and the train station."
"I would highly recommend the Globus. Of all the hotels I stayed in on my trip to Italy, this was by far the best. The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance to all of the main sights in Firenze. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and stylishly decorated. The staff at the Globus is exceptionally nice and very helpful. Every time we entered the lobby, we were greeted with a smile and a ciao. The continental breakfast is very good with many different choices. There is a internet connection set-up in the lobby where you can check e-mail any time of day. The vast majority of guests were American and the hotel definitely seemed to cater to Americans, but it did it with an Italian flair. I was travelling with an Italian friend and she said that this hotel is most definitely the best hotel for your money in Firenze. I will be staying at the Globus again the next time I visit Firenze."
"I do not know why this hotel is ranked as a 3 star hotel. It really should be a 4 star hotel. At least, it is better than most 4 star hotels we stayed at in Italy. We pretty much went for 4 star hotels only, but picked Globus because it had so many good reviews on Venere . The hotel is all that the good reviews tell you it is. It is very clean and modern, recently renovated. The staff are almost unbelievably friendly, all fluent in English, and very helpful. The customer service is impeccable. The rooms are of good size (european standards) and very clean and modern. We loved the cute telephones in the rooms. The free internet connection in the room was great (wireless web TV). There is also free internet connection in the breakfast room. Breakfast was very good. There is a two fairly short flight of stairs from entrance to the front desk, but the hotel staff are available to help move your luggages if you need. From the front desk you can take the elevator (a very small one) to other floors for your luggages, but we did not have to, the hotel staff put our luggages in our room for us. The location of hotel is also great, close to train station and tourist sites (this is generally not an issue in Florence since it is a small city and you can walk everywhere). There is a very good restaurant right across the street from front door (across and about 2 doors to the right) with good prices and excellent food, not a tourist trap. A coin-op laundry around the corner from the hotel is a plus. This is an ideal hotel and a great place to stay. We highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again."
"The Globus Hotel was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our entire 15 day trip all over Italy. We were a couple on a tourist visit, and stayed there for 3 nights. The location of the Hotel was great, within walking distance to the train station, and to basically most major tourist sites. The hotel staff were truly superb, very helpful, professional, friendly, and very very responsive to your needs. All of the front desk employees were excellent, in particular I should mention Nick, who went out of his way everytime to help us with even smallest things. The room was truly superb. Very spacious, the bathroom was excellent and included a bathtub and shower, good water pressure. The aircondition worked magic. The rooms all have free wireless internet connection, which is very nice and you can check your e-mail while in bed. There is also a free internet connection in the lobby that you can use. The breakfast was very good. There is a coin-op laundry in the street just around the corner which comes handy (costs 6 Euro to do one load wash and dry). Overall, this is truly one of the best (if not the best) hotels that you can choose in Florence, with reasonable prices. We highly recommend it. We will certainly stay here next time."
"We stayed at the Globus Hotel . Our room was large and our bathroom was spotless and also large. Staff at the front desk and breakfast room couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Location was also excellent."
"Wonderful view of San Lorenzo cupola out the window of my room."
"Our experience here was excellent. The rooms were clean and modern. The staff was very helpful with every aspect of our trip. The prices were low and gave so much more in comparison to other hotels that we visited on our trip. The complimentary breakfast and internet service really made our stay easier. I would definitely book this hotel again if I was staying in the area. Thanks!!!"
"The hotel is a short walking distance from the train station so it was very convenient for us. Actually, most of the attractions in Florence is within walking distance of the Globus Hotel . The staff was cheerful and very helpful."
"I loved the place. nice-clean-towncenter-excellentprice-welcoming !!! excellent pick."
"A very good hotel, good location, nice room, friendly and helpful receiption. I would recommend this hotel to all who will stay in Firenze."
"Pleasant hotel with excellent service. If you are looking for a place close to the Mercato Centrale this is an excellent choice...you can see some of the stalls from the entrance to the hotel."
"We loved this hotel and the location was perfect---within easy walking distance of everything. Our room's view was wonderful! The staff were very friendly and seemed to know everyone's name. We looked forward to breakfast every morning. An incredible restaurant across the street was the Palle D'Oro. A fantastic pizzaria was next door. When we went to Venice and Rome, the Globus kept our luggage and always welcomed us back. We definitely recommend the Globus! We chose it because of Venere reviews!!"
"This is a very good hotel to stay at in Florence. Recently renovated, this small hotel is well located. It is just a short walk to almost all attractions and next door to the main train station. It is also conveniently close to the Plaza San Mercato, Florence's big open air market."
"Bright and modern hotel, very close to the heart of Florence (only 5 min walk to Il Duomo), rooms are very comfortable and extremely clean, good breakfast as well! staff is very friendly, helpful and professional (very good English spoken as well)...We really enjoyed staying at Hotel Globus, and I would definitely go back there if ever in Florence again!"
"When we arrived at the Globus Hotel the desk personnel greeted us with a big smile. They were always very nice and funny throughout our entire stay. I definitely plan to return to Florence and stay at the Globus."
"Delicate rooms and superb location for a medium price. A special thank to the staff at the reception for their wonderful service."
"Very clean, modern hotel close to the train station. The desk clerk was extremely friendly and helpful; he really went out of his way to help us get settled and his restaurant recommendation was excellent!"
"I would thoroughly recommend the Globus Hotel to anyone visiting Florence. Whilst a 3* hotel it offers 5* service - the staff are extremely frendly and helpful. If only all hotels could be like this."
"An excellent base for exploring Florence. For those who prefer modern comforts the Globus is ideal, with internet access to boot. What clinched it for us was the fantastic standard of service we received from hotel staff. Whether we wanted to find a trattoria used by local Florentines, find out train times or jump the huge queues at the Uffizi gallery, Globus staff found a solution pronto. Would definately go back."
"A 10+ for the the well-informed and extremely helpful staff...their tips and suggestions helped me make the most of a short visit."

Here are some typical guests' reviews:
"Perfect location for sightseeing in Florence. Staff were helpful, breakfast more substantial than many places. We would stay again if in Florence."
"The customer service was wonderful. Everybody was very helpful. This was the largest room and bath on our whole trip. The host even made reservations for the Accademia and Uffizi Museum, for us. The hotel was very close to the train station. The hotel rooms were very clean and I would highly recommend to anybody."
"Our stay at the Gioia Hotel was a truly great one. Even though we had a 2nd floor room overlooking the street it was quiet with the double paned windows closed. Not that we kept them closed much because we didnīt want to miss anything. The room was just like the pictures and the bathroom was big enough for my 6 ft 1 in, 100 kg frame. We couldnīt believe how easy it was to walk to almost all of the major attractions of Florence. In addition there are great laundry facilities and internet close by. Continental breakfast was not in the great class, but was fresh and adequate enough to keep you going into the afternoon. Service in the restaurant was terrific as with all other requests for information or assistance. We would definitely choose Gioia when we return to Florence."
"We were on a budget this was a great value. Breakfast was excellent just enough to get you going. Great location to everything , great reasturants close by. I would stay here again."
"The Gioia Hotel was very good value for price and location. I had a very pleasant stay at the Gioia and would highly recommend it for its close location to the Duomo, Santa Croce, the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio. The next time I go to Florence I will definitely rebook the Gioia."
"This place was excellent. The location it seemed was central to everything as we were in Florence for 5 days. The staff was very friendly and informative, especially with airport, train and driving information. We enjoyed the outdoor terrace at nite but a table and chairs would have been really appealing. It was great to have a fridge for keeping stuff cold. Would definitely recommend and stay here again, the location is excellent for shopping. Close to the market."
"It's really worth to stay at GIOIA. Your are only 5min away of a supermarket and very close to the city center. The rooms are really spacious and even on the street side very calm."
"Hotel is conveniently located and the staff was very friendly and accomodating."
"Our stay at the Gioia was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and most spoke English fluently. Breakfast each morning consisted of croissants, bread, jam, yogurt, juice and coffee. We had a "terrace" off one of our rooms, which was pleasant for relaxing on at the end of long days of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend the Gioia."
"The room was huge. The bathroom must have been recently restored, it was great. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the train station. The breakfast had no hot food but was adequate. The staff was very kind and helpful."
"Wonderful experience especially because of employees George, Pasquale and Frank. These three made us feel like family. Great location (most sites within a 10 minute walk). Highly recommend."
"We were very pleased with our recent stay. The Gioia Hotel was very clean and the staff very helpful. The location is excellent as we walked everywhere, including to the train station for our departure. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this area. Breakfast was adequate, rooms are clean, and the in-room safe and mini-bar were nice surprises."
"Small hotel with GREAT location!!! Few blocks to L'Accademia and Il Duomo. Walking distance to almost every other attraction and the train terminal. The owner speaks very good English and was very nice and friendly. We arrived much before check-in time and were immediately given our room. We were three persons and the room was very spacious; not so the bathroom, but it was very clean. The air conditioning worked well (we were there during a heat wave in August!), as did the mini-fridge. All in all this was a very good value for the money. We would definitely stay there again."
"I read good reviews about the hotel on this site and was pleasantly surprised at their accuracy!"

This is a very pleasant hotel and conveniently located near the river. We enjoyed our stay."
"A very pleasant hotel with no frills - a good choice for a short break - close to many major sites but away from the busier, noisier centre."
"This is a small, elegantly refurbished hotel in a palazzo block that has real style. Its central location means that one can easily walk everywhere in Florence and there are plenty of good restaurants around. The car garage is just 200 metres up the road at a special price of 20 euros for a full 24-hour period. Breakfast is served in an elegant room and was quite ample. The management were all friendly and welcoming. An interesting historical touch is that Mozart stayed at the hotel in 1770 when on his tour of Italy. We will stay at the Goldoni again next time we visit Firenze."
"The staff were so helpful to us. Not speaking more than a few words of Italian, we were really grateful to them for providing an Internet search for our next train journey. Nothing was too much trouble. Location was really close to all the sites."

Breakfast was a little 'basic', and could have been of better quality. In terms of value for money I would say the Unicorno was expensive, but in line with other hotels we have stayed in in Italy. We would recommend the Unicorno unhesitatingly."
