The Hilton Florence Metropole is a decent hotel not far from FLR airport. The surrounding area does…read morenot present well, nevertheless we always felt safe. We reserved a standard king bed room and received a complimentary upgrade to a "nicer" king bed room. Nicer I guess because it was a corner room with a "better view" but not much else was different to the standard king bed room. The common areas are beautifully decorated and well maintained. Front Desk staff were always informative and helpful. The Executive Lounge, with indoor and outdoor seating, was always stocked with snacks, drinks, and small bites. We had dinner in the restaurant there and it was just ok. Not bad but also not very good. The servers, though, were very attentive and friendly. We did take advantage of the complimentary shuttle provided and were dropped off at the local train stop, just across the street from a mall. When we returned later that evening, I called the hotel to let them know we were back at the same drop-off location, but we still had to wait about 40 minutes for the driver to pick us up. Not a major inconvenience, until the rain started falling. Thankfully it was very light rain but there's no place to seek shelter at that drop-off location. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Florence but will definitely stay somewhere else if we do return. As for the local train, it was very easy and inexpensive. About €1.70 per person each way, and it took us straight to the main station, Santa Maria Novella (S.M. Novella) where we enjoyed walking around, visiting the Duomo, and stopping for a most enjoyable lunch and delicious gelato.

This is not what you'd expect from a Hilton. It's an okay hotel but shouldn't be called a Hilton…read more The beds are tiny and don't have sheets on them, just comforters. Another thing is they don't supply you with enough soap. When you ask for another bar of soap they take the second one when they come through the room to clean. Odd. The shuttle is hit or miss and the guy makes his own schedule. With the location so far from things expect to pay for cabs. I will say though if you're looking for an affordable place and just a place to sleep it'll do.

Stayed here in 2019 for one night. The front desk staff was very courteous and the rooms were very…read morenice and clean for the price. I enjoyed the location of the hotel as it was right across the street from the tram and not too far from the airport. If I'm ever back in Florence I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was kind of away from the center of town, but we were just spending one night there…read morebefore we hit the town in the morning. The neighborhood looked a bit dodgy...The room was huge and well designed, with a kitchenette complete with pots, pans, and utensils. Everything was very clean. The door, however, didn't have an inside chain lock. The courtyard with the little patio tables was a nice touch. As a bonus, parking was free! The only thing was, the wifi was down. The front desk guy said Sundays and Mondays were bad for internet in Italy?!

Great location. Near the airport. Next to the Tram Line to downtown or airport. Close to a large…read moreshopping center with a great grocery store. A large open space of park was just across the street. Room was comfortable and quiet. Front desk staff all spoke English, were helpful and interested in making sure we had a pleasant stay. Car parking is available. Breakfast is available.

First things first. There's a giant supermarket literally right behind the hotel..which is awesome…read more The room itself was a bit worn looking with scratch marks here and there but not too bad. The thing that got to me WAS THE SHOWER/BATHTUB. I don't understand how it was designed!!! There's no shower curtain or shower door or anything of the sort. There's a glass panel that covers a third of the bathtub area and it swings. So unless you're gonna take a bath, water will get everywhere... I had to shower at the very corner of the bathtub..and water still got all over the floor. A lot of tours also stay at this hotel so if you're with a tour they only let you eat breakfast at a certain time and you can't go before that.
