I do not recommend this hotel. Breakfast was cold and did not look fresh. The shower door was damaged, we could not freshen up in the morning. Informed receptionist but nothing was done. Asked to be compensated and the same was refused. Also Hotels.com did nothing to compensate us for the inconvenience. Will not be using this website again.

The hotel was 25min away with train from Florence. The train was very close to the station which had plenty of connections to Florence.
However, the area felt very unsafe, the hotel was stuck in the past, visually horrible. The noise of the trains were to loud. The toilet was dirty with pee drops around the WC. The handles from the sink/shower were stuck and you couldn’t control the water temperature. The breakfast food was disgusting. Not recommended at all.

Disappointing
Sadly, we were not satisfied at all.
Pros
- Friendly staff.
- Close to the train station; 20 mins by train to Florence.
- Free parking.
Cons
- Dirty (also seen in previous comments): The shower was moldy. The tables had thick black dust on them.
- Loud: We could hear the other neighbors flushing the toilet in the middle of the night (a very loud sound).
- Hard to flush the toilet (needs renovation).
- Breakfast: Average at best.
- Close to the train station (a pro and a con depending on the preference): Loud and you can hear the trains go by constantly.
All in all, the hotel needs to pay more attention to cleanliness and it requires renovation. It is not worthy of its 4 star title.

For the price that you paid, it was okay. It is old but the hotel offers free breakfast and it's right next to the train station.

Very close to the station, nice & helpful staff.
So far it was good except no restaurant nearby. Breakfast room is located on the 5/F that brought an open & nice view especially it felt great in the morning. Hot food is a bonus.

Was disappointed as the Hotel.com advertised it as having free parking. This I imagine is parking with/at the hotel. This was not the case, the free parking was several blocks away which is not conducive to a mother traveling alone with her children, trying to wrangle luggage in an unfamiliar city etc. Also the restaurant in the hotel is no longer open if you were looking for on site lunch/dinner.

Room was small and very hot even in November couldn't keep the window open as we overlooked the train station. Perfect location for a short train ride into central Florence. Reception staff very efficient

Everything acceptable but breakfast.
This hotel is located in Signa not florence. By train it takes 20 minutes from florence central station. Train station is extremely close to hotel. Room is clean but not perfect. Breakfast is not good.

Bologna sightseeing
We chose this hotel for its location outside Bologna. We wanted to be able to park our rental car for free safely while touring Bologna by public transportation. It was perfect for this, the bus stop was less than a block away. Also staff was so helpful rearranging our room when our daughter was able to join us there without prior notice. It was perfect for us!!!

Decent mid-range hotel near Florence
I chose Hotel Europa (in Signa, Italy) to avoid the chaos of trying drive into Florence and find a hotel with parking nearby.
There is some free parking near the hotel (parking spots with white lines), but the paid parking (parking spots with blue lines) is not expensive compared to general parking rates in Europe. We were at the hotel for less than 48 hours and paid probably 15 Euros at the meter for parking the entire time.
The hotel property is older and desperately needs renovating. It was probably state of the art in the 1980's but now, really dated. But the hotel is convenient and very clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating and someone was at the desk at all hours.
The train station is literally 3 minutes walking across the square and costs just over 2 euros into Florence. It is so much nicer than trying to navigate the chaos of the pedestrian only and heavily touristed central Florence area.
The only issue was the air conditioning. It just did not work well and it was VERY hot in the area during the summer. There is also a trip switch on the door to the veranda that turns it off every time you open the door.
