Find the Best Calenzano Hotels

Hotel First is situated near the town of Calenzano, Tuscany. It is a 25 minute train ride from Florence. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the train station, get the Patagione stop not the Calenzano stop or you will be a 30 minute walk from the hotel. Trains are hourly until around 6pm, but not all trains stop there. The hotel bedrooms were very spacious and clean, beds weren't particularly comfortable, but ok. The biggest complaint I had was that they have hung the curtains about 30cm back from the actual window, and whilst looking straight on this is fine, when in bed there is a HUGE gap between the window and the wall which results in you being woken at 5am when the sunlight hits the room. The other issue is that the ground floor rooms do smell quite strongly of cigarette smoke, even though the hotel rooms are all non-smoking, not sure if this is a legacy issue, or whether some people were having crafty cigarettes but it was really noticeable. Hotel breakfast had a lot of choice and we dined twice in the restaurant in the evening which we found to be very good and reasonably priced for a hotel. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and understanding of my poor Italian. They nearly all spoke excellent English, which made things easier for us.

I'm sorry for what I'm going to write but I'm more sorry for people spending money thinking to go for a 4 stars hotel while I'd objectively would rate it 1 star. Rooms are small, forniture way outdated with totally poor taste, broken even, they never got replaced since I guess hotel been there. Breakfast, also terribile, that was my first time in life to refuse coffee, machine should be shot down instantly, it tasted old and I'm quite sure it didn't get any cleaning job in the last years. All of this, wasn't even cheap, it's pure scam that should come to an end, starting in taking away Stars from this hotel. And yea, I don't care it got a pool on the side, I need to sleep in a functioning room and not die from old food, thanks

Hotel recently opened in a good location, motorways and industrial areas just a few minutes away, as well as the centre, with free parking just a few meters away. The common areas are very well presented, modern and spacious furnishings, one has the impression of high quality. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very nice room, with access to the patio with swimming pool, furnished with style and with the right spaces. Impeccable cleanliness, comfortable bed, maybe a bigger TV could have been placed. The only flaw, not a small one, is the lack of soundproofing between the rooms, in fact I heard everything the neighbor did, from the shower to the phone calls. The breakfast is good even if the tables are only comfortable if you are alone. A tip: if you want to attract business customers, breakfast cannot start at 7:30. Some flaws to fix related to youth, but the foundations are there and they are excellent. Price perhaps a bit higher than average, but the structure is worth the expense.

Quite, clean and cozy hotel. All staffs are nice and kind. Bathroom condition and room condition is stunning. Only one cons is not good to come here with public transport. If you can rent a car or using taxi, here is nice hotel in florence. I'm sure you love here.

The reception Staff were particularly good. The room was OK. We decided to eat in the `Restaurant`. The Waitress was not really interested. We waited and waited for just the menu to arrive. We ordered our food which came relatively quickly, the soup that was listed did not resemble any soup we have ever experienced. The ice cream which I could not eat was disgusting. The Waitress had disappeared we could not discus this issue at all. Having travelled nearly 600 kilometers that day in the heat, we could not wait because we were so tired. In the morning when we went to settle the bill, we found it had already been taken and the Receptionist did not want to understand and offered us two beers, small compensation.

The hotel is located close to nothing but the highway. Beds were comfortable, room clean and spacious, bathroom good sized with supplies, large parking area. Our included breakfast was buffet style with everything and of high quality, which was great value. There was an unattractive pool. Didn't use the included wifi. At check-in we were informed a/c is turned off at 8am in the morning. There were few guests during our one-night stay, so everything was quiet. Excellent choice for us with a rental car and an errand in the area. But would never stay here for multiple days because of its remote location and never if one doesn't have own car.

This hotel was booked by a company I am working for, so I am sure it was booked purely on price as we were quite a large party. I understand that any business coming out of lockdown has a hard job on its hands, but on entering my room, I did feel it was necessary to wipe everything down with disinfectant wipes as everything was quite dusty. Some of my colleagues were unhappy with the cleanliness of their rooms. Following my initial clean down, my room was tidied daily. Wifi is poor, except in reception which has nowhere to sit and work, so if you are here on business, you don’t have any privacy to get work done. Continental breakfast is okay, but I cannot think of anything good to say about the cooked food, except that I have lost weight because I have not eaten very much. We are not allowed out of our bubble, so we have not been allowed to eat elsewhere, but if you can, I would. I have been served undercooked pasta five nights in a row, which tastes of salt, then meat and fried potatoes, which again tastes like it has been preserved in salt. Day 5 and the vegetarians in our group are stiil being served meat which could be considered quite funny, but they were not impressed. Although the staff are very apologetic, it is then replaced somewhat later with a greasy omelette which looks extremely unappetising and lonely on its plate but the soup is okay. They didn't have any sauces or gravy to serve with the food at the beginning of the week so the food tasted very over cooked, salty and dry, but we did get gravy this evening, so it has improved a little. I have been craving some vegetables with my dinner but greasy Salty eggplant is the only option. Oddly, mixed veg is served at breakfast. They dont really understand dietary requirements, so if you are ceoliac, best not chance it. I maybe doing the catering staff a dis-service, because they may have been drafted in from a different occupation, like myself and just doing their best in difficult circumstances. Catering is clearly not their forte. Everyone seems friendly enough.

Very spacious , excellent welcome and immediately available. Good and abundant breakfast. Excellent location, literally near the motorway, a comfortable street!! . A quite spacious room. The full comfort bathroom. The water of the shower was not very stable, it continued to change the temperature continuously, from warm to cold and cold to warm, you were more disputed with water than doing the shower.
