B&B Hotel Firenze Novoli

I liked the convenience to the airport. I stayed at this hotel to be close to the airport. When I checked in (a woman behind a counter with a cash register) assured me she would have a taxi ready for me to go to the airport. She did not tell me that there would be 3 huge charges tacked on to the taxi fare: 1) for calling the taxi 2) a call earlier than 6:00 am and 3) suitcases. The taxi for the ride all 1.5 KM to the airport was almost 20 Euro. Whereas the taxi from the airport into Florence was 22 Euro, as was the taxi to the hotel from town. It would be very nice of the "staff" to have told me this fact. I would also have appreciated someone who reviewed the hotel to tell me this. I would have preferred to stay at a hotel that had an airport shuttle.

On the outskirts of Florence with a good bus service into the centre. Very good for people arriving by car as the parking is free.The hotel also has free wifi which is virtually unheard of in Italy! A clean, no frills hotel - very suitable for a short stay. Smarter than most of its counterparts in France. Traffic noise was a problem as it overlooks a very busy road.

Quality of food in restaurant was excellent (this made up for lack of meal options surrounding the hotel)! Wonderful service. Hotel was a reasonable distance from city centre, though regular bus services operate from bus stop <100m from hotel door. Bar staff seemed a little inexperienced, and bar lacked some stock.

Friendly staff, great restaurant ! , Bit far from the city but easily accessible by bus. Breakfast basic but in line with most hotels in Italy
