Cute little hotel located conveniently less than 5 minutes from the airport. We had an early morning departure and the front desk arranged a shuttle to take us and one other hotel guest to the airport. The shuttle showed up promptly and the hotel worked perfectly for a one day trip. We took a taxi to downtown Florence and enjoyed the sights prior to departure.

Used this hotel to stay near the airport. Said it had a shuttle and we paid 15 euros for two of us. Our flight was very early so great to have the shuttle there at 4:30am.
Had a small bar and limited restaurant but a nice patio to enjoy a cold drink during the heat wave.
Good value if you need an airport hotel.

The room was clean and it was simple. The staff were sooooo good to us. Our flight got in late and we got to our hotel at midnight. The concierge waited for us to arrive- that was so nice. The hotel is not walking distance from the airport. It is close! But you still have to take a taxi. Also, there is no airport shuttle. Even though we got there late, the hotel did not have a shuttle at all. There is a small little breakfast bar for morning coffee and small brekkie bites. Good option if it’s a quick stay!

I will stay here again. We are new to Italy. This is a perfect, night before flying, hotel. The staff is very helpful and speak English. We rented three single rooms, because we all needed a shower before our 4:30 shuttle. They have a beautiful comfy patio where we enjoyed dinner and a bottle of wine. They offered 6 menu dinner items. I had the Chicken. It was tender and yummy. The room has a kettle for tea or coffee in morning. We booked an early 4:15 shuttle for $15€ pp. It was punctual. We needed that. Thank you Francesco. Nice property !

Great location; didn’t use the shuttle from the airport because o arrived very late- almost midnight -wonder if a shuttle can be prearranged; I just took a taxi and know of others who walked to the hotel because it was daylight.

The room was a bit small; however I was there just one night and was able to easily walk to the tram station to get to the main train station.

The hotel was difficult to check into and our room smelled HORRIBLY of smoke. The code they sent didn't work. Once we got to our room, that code didn't work and we had to go back to front desk. The toilet didn't work well and the overall feel was poor. They do not have 24/7 access to the airport and there is a charge. Correspondence wasn't in English.

What a find! I expected a pkace this clise to the airport, and at such a reasonable price, to be quite average. Which would have been fine. But Hotel Franchi is a gem!

Great, above-and-beyond service. Welcoming staff. A lovely lounge area on the ground floor, with a small pub for drinks and food. Clean and comfortable room, with a balcony! I can't say enough about how lovely this place is.

For accessibility: one step up to get in the door and a small elevator if you don't want to use the stairs.

I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Florence.

Efficient and comfy stay before early flight

A very short 1 night stay due to an early flight. Check-in was efficient and friendly. Let us into our room an hour ahead of official check-in time. Shuttle bus turned up on time although EUR15 for a 5 minute transfer to the terminal was too much

Pre flight

Great for a night before flying out.
Need to arrange shuttle time when you check in (especially if early am flight) and there is a E$15 charge but very convenient compared to walking to tram or finding a taxi.

Was a long but doable walk to Boboli Gardens

Staff was awesome! Rooms were clean. I was a bit stressed when the hotel sent me a message through Expedia but their email is blanked out with the app. There was someone at the hotel upon my afternoon arrival who sent me a code through WhatsApp to access the room. We were here the night before an early flight and the airport shuttle was prompt and courteous. We even had dinner and drinks that I would recommend on the hotel patio.

Very Good Hotel for Airport Access

We had an early morning flight out of FLR and Hotel Franchi was perfect for us. Airport shuttle service to FLR started at 04:15, was on-time, and took only 10 minutes to FLR. The hotel was very comfortable, clean, and the staff was extraordinary! Bar and food onsite was very good and the terrace was a nice respite in the busy city to relax before a long day of travel. We had the quadruple room and it efficiently accommodated us and our two adult children fine for the evening. A bit tight, but we are used to traveling together. The large balcony on the room was an added bonus. We will use the Hotel Franchi again flying in or out of FLR.

Hotel is OK. Bare bones and completely lacking in charm, but OK for a hotel that is close to the airport. They have a digital code for the main hotel entrance and the guest room door that needs to be sent via email on the day of check-in, which is fairly unwieldy, especially because Expedia does not allow email addresses to be included in its messaging service. Also, the first code they sent me didn’t work and needed to be reset.

Great location with easy access to the airport. The property offers airport shuttle service for a fee. Also a lovely restaurant & bar with delicious dinner options in a cozy setting. Breakfast available for a modest fee so that’s a plus especially if you’re catching an early morning flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

We chose this hotel because we had an early morning flight and wanted to be close to the airport. Please make sure you read the info for check in and entry into the hotel prior to arrival. It is a little complicated and best done with internet access. The location is ideal for the airport and the lobby area is appealing. The rooms are small and efficient, no extras but a great place to sleep if you want to be close to the airport. We found a great restaurant a block from the hotel that was a surprise. Also, it was nice to be able to have a drink in the lobby of the hotel.

Everything is ok except for the thin walls.
We could hear everything that was spoken in the neighbor rooms.
And, late at night, one of our neighbors had a very noisy intercourse, which was pretty uncomfortable.
Not the hotel's fault, but something has to be done to avoid all the sound to move across the walls.

Room was spacious, bed was very comfortable. Staff welcomed me and helped me through the process of using the keyless entry system. I’m sure GenZ has no problem using the system, but it’s necessary to download an app, connect to it, then link the hotel and make sure that the App is connected to Bluetooth…then figure out how to position the phone to make the connection work. I just told you I’m old!

With no front desk and virtual check in only those of us without data turned on are at a disadvantage. You have to pay the city tax via paypal - after which using, my credit card number was stolen (not the hotels fault). Taxi between the airport, though only 1 km, cost 15 Euros. Clean and simple rooms - GREAT breakfast!

I had a 6am flight and wanted a hotel close to the airport, Franchi was described as having airport shuttle and that was the ONLY reason I booked it. When I asked about the shuttle I was told the hotel does not have it and that I should order a taxi. Now, it is merely 900m from the terminal, but via semi-industrial area that does not have sidewalks, no option to walk at all, let alone with suitcases. Reception assured us the taxi would be 15 euros (a rip-off, considering the distance), but then we were charges 22 euros, for 900m ride! Next time I would stay downtown instead of moving closer to the airport the night before departure, because not only the information about the shuttle was not correct, the surrounding area looks awful. Booking this hotel was a big mistake.

Didn't respond to emails. Didn't send promised email with links to set up smartphone.They apparently speak of \"emails\" but mean \"WhatsApp,\" which we don't have. Showed up and had to wait a long time as they tried to set up my smartphone. All attempts failed. Eventually gave us key card after we stood around for 15 minutes. Process is all to save 5 cents on cost of key card and be \"modern\"? Website includes false information about parking and, oddly, ZTL, which they acknowledged but are unlikely to change. Tired to call to determine if website info true, but it took numerous phone calls before they picked up and acknowledged info was false (about that location). And why no place to put soap in shower? Another attempt to save a couple of euros by not installing soap holder? Cheap discount-store quality furniture. As crow flies, very close to airport (which is why booked), but in reality taxi to airport is 20 euros.

A little gem near the airport.

We enjoyed our stay. The owners are onsite, friendly, and are there for any need. We arrived 2 hours before our check in time. He walked us through the keyless entry for the building and room, kept our luggage whike we had a few drinks in the garden area, and gave us a great room which was cozy but very clean and comfortable. We had dinner here as well and it was very good. They also arranged for a cab to the airport at 4:30am (about 5 mins away by car). We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Definitely geared to a younger clientele. Requires download of a phone app. Your phone is your door key, indeed your access to property if arriving late. Good, if limited, menu available. We chose it for its proximity to the airport, but it did not really satisfy my standards as airport-adjacent, since we had to use a taxi anyway (no shuttle).

Hotel Franchi was not a great place to stay at. The staff is ok but the hotel itself is not. The elevator is tiny. Barely big enough for 3 Adults without any luggage. For my family of 4 we had to take the elevator 3 trips up and down just to get our 4 suitcases into our room. Room was small as most rooms are in Europe so no surprise there. But you will hear everyone come up and down the hallway all night long. We didn't sleep well at all there. Plus the area has many outside noises that you will also hear quite often. The room itself is cold. Adjusting the thermostat was futile. Heater would turn itself off after only a couple of minutes. But room would still be cold. You would expect the heater to work once it got cold outside. Lastly, breakfast was very limited even for a full breakfast. No eggs, not even hard boiled eggs available. No Milk either. But to say one thing nice is that their bar is fully stocked. But that didn't help my family. Never choosing this hotel again.
