Easy to access and onsite parking for a fee was great and available for the day, even after check out. We had a two bedroom unit that was nicely appointed and had coffee, tea and goodies for snacking on. We ate at a great little pizza spot just around the corner.

My stay at Residence Porta Al Prato was a really enjoyable one. I was there for a four night stay and had the option of having my room cleaned once during my stay as I was staying for over 3 nights (I didn’t take up the option during my stay for the sake of an extra night).
The team were very welcoming and able to help answer questions I had about the area and the hotel as I was travelling solo.
The room itself was very comfy and well suited to people travelling solo or with other people. It was nice to have a kitchen area if anyone would prefer to cook rather than dine out. The room was nicely decorated and was clean on arrival. The only things I would flag would be the lock seemed a little loose on the main door - it worked and was secure but just a little loose. The curtains were also non-blackout so when the sun came through it would wake you up. Not ideal if you did want to have a lay in but also a nice way to start your day.
The hotel itself is located just outside of the main centre of Florence and is in walking distance to the main train station with bus and tram stops also nearby. The traffic around the hotel could be quite busy around the peak hours of travel but not a problem as I was walking everywhere.
Overall I had a very enjoyable stay here and would recommend to anyone wanting to go to Florence and need somewhere safe, clean and comfortable to stay during your time in this beautiful city.

The front desk staff member Renalde was very helpful and provided excellent customer service and we appreciated his friendly attitude and assistance. However, Hotel Management refused to fix our kitchen sink and had no hot water causing us to boil water. Not very professional or appreciated.

The concierge is not 24 hrs. This forced me to change my travel plans traveling from Switzerland. That cost me an extra $262.00. We also had a strange knock on our door 30 minutes after we arrived at the hotel. That made my wife very nervous, because the concierge was not 24 hrs. The hotel was clean and the apt. was nice. I'm not sure if I would recommend this hotel to a friend.
