Elegant Palazzo style period property with very high ceilings. Water leaked from where the hose joined the shower head in the bathroom. Kettle on main table had no power socket, so each time I boiled water had to move kettle to bedside table for the socket and then remove it back to the main table. Staff were very professional and helpful. Did not choose breakfast.

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.

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.

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 The rooms are outdated and ugly.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.

Amazing service, wonderful villa ambience.
My wife and I had an exceptional stay here for our honeymoon. The staff were absolutely wonderful. I broke my foot on the first day and they were super accommodating with everything I needed to get to-and-from the hospital. I really do appreciate everything they did. The hotel is about a 10-15 min cab ride or 20 min walk out of the city centre, which is perfect for us as it’s away from the masses of tourists. It felt like a little oasis of calm in a beautiful villa! There are also plenty of fine restaurants within a 5-10 min walk of the hotel as well. Additionally there is Carre Four (grocery shop) right around the corner for all your bits and bobs! We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay, the room was comfortable with great functioning air conditioner units, especially during the heat wave. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful, especially the front desk and the breakfast staff. Breakfast was very tasty and had a wide variety of options, even for a picky eater. The pool was fantastic, clean and big enough that it never felt crowded. Area felt safe, we were out at night and had no issues or concerns walking about, even close to midnight. Definitely recommend!
