Lovely

Its a lovely hotel. Only hotel that gave me complimentary water. Breakfast buffet was fabulous. Staff attended to me promptly. Rooms are neat and big and the ambience is very welcoming. Only issue is the distance. Its located along the highway on the outskirts of town. I cant say its worth the distance (1hr 30mins from town) but its a lovely hotel

Wonderfully

We were there three nights. we ate well we slept well. Very friendly and helpful staff. we want to send a big thank you to Paola who with great patience and competence explained about Florence and Pisa and its communications. A fantastic person. Special thanks to the nice Mary in the kitchen who gave us good espresso and espresso.

Not close to any amenities. Pricey taxi costs to Florence. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was very good.

We chose The Gate because it is 10-minute taxi ride from Florence Airport. The room was great for the low price. The restaurant in the hotel served decent food, too. They arranged for our 4:00 am taxi to the airport.

the property is really convenient if you're leaving from the airport . The room , Breakfast was OK few issues with the shower but overall I will rate this hotel as a 4 or 5 max . YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY .
Shahan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room itself was clean, but the hallways and elevator were old and dirty. There were many carpet stains, and dead mosquitos accumulating in the elevator. It also smelled of smoke in the hallways and elevator. At least the location was convenient to the airport (although still requires a taxi), which is what we needed. The restaurant is decent as well, and the service is kind.
Houda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel and the room were overall good. It could have been a little cleaner in the lobby, it looks a little run down. The dining area was nice. The bar area was cute. I wish there was a pool! My biggest complaints were that the safe didn’t work so I was not able to lock anything in it, and the location of the hotel. It’s about 20-30 minutes via taxi into Florence. I didn’t realize it was so far away when I booked it.
Kelli, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel really needs to be updated. Filthy carpets, flooring needs to be repaired or better yet replaced. The hallways are used for smoking. Dead mosquitoes on the walls and ceilings. The airco can’t handle the heat in the daytime. It was not comfortable in the daytime. The personnel were very friendly and helpfull.

All we needed

Our two night stay at The Gate Hotel was a base for us to go to see Florence but enable us to park our rental car safely and conveniently. We had the feeling this hotel is often used by tour groups which came late and left early. We learnt the best way in to Florence was to park our car at the airport 4km away, and costs €1 then hop on the tram into the city centre €1.70. Our stay was comfortable, but breakfast was slightly disappointing, and a bit chaotic after the groups had just left. The location didn’t bother us but it’s not picturesque. For us we just needed a clean comfortable room and a safe car park.
David, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

People is wonderfull but management is pitiful or better, non existent. It is hard to understant the lack of understanding of basic stuff, that you think are a given. Ex: you take a shower and the all room gets flooded etc., lack of transportation, seems like no one cares. No customer service in many areas. Ladies and Gents in the front desk are good and helpful. MANAGEMENT is the problem. Fire management and replace them with ppl that care.
Antony, 3-night trip

Nice stay, efficient hotel

First of all, we’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the Reception staff and the Housekeeping staff. Our daughter forgot her comfort teddy at the hotel when we left the room and both teams worked to find it and send it to us at our next destination via courrier service. She was over the moon when we received it! The housekeeping staff also made sure to efficiently clean our room everyday so our kitten could stay undisturbed in the room during our stay. Most of the staff is multilingual, it really helps. The hotel is not central but very conveniently located in a dynamic suburb; we could find restaurants, swimming pool and other services very easily. Florence is just at a 20mn drive… great! Breakfast does the job but could offer way more variety to reach a real 4star standard, we didn’t try the restaurant. Although the room was perfect (space, bedding, design, bathrooms and comfort), the hotel is dated and requires some maintenance (painting on walls and lifts, stained carpets in corridors). We’re satisfied with our stay and would recommend to any family travelling with children under 15yo.

Review by Jahnvi & Kunal Modi

We booked this hotel since we wanted a spot close to highway and the hotel offered free parking in its premises. Location - very close to highway, so easy to go in and out of Florence. We drove to Michael Angelo sunset viewpoint with ease. However, the hotel is in industrial area away from city. There is tram stop nearby, if you wish to go to city. Hotel room - we booked 1 room with 4 beds. We got room on 5th floor. Lifts are extremely small. However, we were taken aback by the spacious room and amazing mountain and city views. Negative - mosquitos in the room, so carry sprays. Hotel staff - found the person who checked us in extremely rude. We had 4 big bags and she denied that we couldnt use the bigger lift. The customer lifts were super tiny. One of the other staff members overheard us and decided to help us out. Breakfast - pretty goof for the price we paid.
Kunal, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was great, clean and tidy. The ladies at reception were very helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The food was very nice for the price. However the service in the restaurant was poor. There was a lot of staff not doing anything and only 1 lady appeared to be doing everything. We could see one of the waiters was making guests feel uncomfortable by standing over them having only just been given the menu. When I asked for a desert menu I was sent to get the bill-granted this may have been lost in translation. We felt rushed: my partner had finished eating but I had not when staff came to take her plate, I saw this was common on all the tables with customers having a similar reaction to us. The process of paying seemed messy and unorganised and extremely customer reliant rather than relaxed as you would expect at a 4 star hotel. None of the staff were wearing coherent uniform which again-took away from the whole dining experience with one waiter wearing what appeared to be joggers. It seemed disorganised, rushed and overall not a pleasant experience. Like I say though, for the price, the food was good.
