The hotel building is a historic house, very spacious and with an interesting decor. The parking was a plus so if you are driving, the location is perfect because you can park, leave your car there and walk to Florence's main attractions which are about 10 or 15 minutes walk from the hotel Even if you have already checked out you can leave the car. Therefore it has a very convenient location. The cost for one full-day parking is €30. The breakfast is excellent t with plenty of options. The staff is very polite and willing to help. A special mention to Martina. She checked us in and out and helped us with the parking and gave us directions and explained the area. Very efficient and versatile with her duties.

This hotel was a perfect spot for our honeymoon. We stayed in July 2025. Its far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to everything in the core. The tram station is close so commuting around was easy, especially to the airport. There is a fantastic restaurant around the corner.. best pizza in Italy I swear! Its called Ristorante Pizzeria da Nasone

Hideous front staff

Hideous staff. Belligerent, disinterested and rude. Hotel has a student hostel vibe, packs of school kids running wild and noisy at night. Dark creepy drawing room. Absolutely no atmosphere. Florence was amazing, and everyone else we met was lovely. With exception of detached front managers glued to their computers.

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.
