El Roy Gardens was a very convenient, clean place to stay for your visit to Florence. It's proximity to the train station is a big plus. Neighborhood was quiet, staff was courteous and fees are very much affordable. I will stay at this place again on my next trip to Florence. Y - Boston, MA - May 2025

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only decent thing is the room. The building is awful and creepy. At night looks like an scenary from a horror movie. The staff, well there is no staff or front desk. The pictures in Expedia are misleading people showing gardens that are not accessible or don't exist. Going out a night is challenging because there are people that look dangerous in the surrounding areas.

Our stay at El Roy Garden rooms was interesting to put it into one word. When we got there, the directions took us to a completely different building, and there was nobody there to check us in. I then called and then somebody came. However what I cared about most was the area, it was just my boyfriend and I staying here, and this hotel was in a pretty unsafe area, which made me uneasy. The man who cleaned was very nice and made sure to smile as we passed and such, and made sure our room was clean. Personally, as a young girl, I would stay somewhere else due to safety, but if this isn’t a concern for you then you will be fine.

Clean, functional rooms in handy location close to train station. Overall fair value for money. Poor communication from staff resulted in difficulty and lengthy checking in. No servicing of room between our 2 night stay, only given 1 bottle of water, 2 teabags, no milk in room. No milk at coffee station in reception area.

Shiva

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was a budget-friendly renovated rental, but there were several issues during our stay. The address provided was not accurate, and we had to wait under the hot sun for 20 minutes for someone to arrive and open the door. Unfortunately, the person assisting us didn’t speak English or French, so all communication had to be done via WhatsApp. Inside the room, both the AC and fridge were leaking, and we had to mop the floor and dry the walls every evening upon our return. Towels were not changed on the morning of our second day, and the property had many stairs, which may be challenging for some guests. Overall, considering the conditions, it did not feel like good value for the price we paid for three nights.

They were super accomodative with everything including sending someone to check me in early when I arrived in the morning and was expecting to have to wait. I can tell my room was newly remodeled as everything was new such as the bathroom, ac, mini-fridge, and bed. Definitely a great place to stay if you're traveling early from SMN as it's a 10-minute straight shot walk.

Lovely Location but Some Issues with Check-in and

We recently stayed at this accommodation, which is located in a great spot—just a 15-minute walk to the city centre, making it easy to explore the local sights on foot. On arrival, we were a bit early but were kindly allowed to wait in a lovely little courtyard, which was a nice touch. However, check-in was a bit confusing. We paid for the room upon arrival, but then the receptionist came to our room later to collect the city tax—despite initially telling us we could leave it in cash at the desk. In the end, we paid the tax by card. Shortly after, they returned again to ask for our passports. It would have been more efficient and less disruptive if all of these details were handled at check-in. Our room itself was bright and spacious, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, there was noticeable mould in the bathroom, which was disappointing and should have been addressed before the room was made available to guests. We briefly spoke to someone we believe was the owner over the phone, but she wasn’t present during most of our stay. Instead, one man appeared to be managing everything—from checking guests in to cleaning rooms—which may explain some of the disorganisation. Overall, while the location and space were great, the check-in process and cleanliness left room for improvement. With a few adjustments, this could be a much more pleasant experience for future guests.
