This was a lovely spot to stay. It was clean and comfortable and had all that we needed. You can tell the property is taken care of well. It’s near the train station but a bit of a walk from the heart of the city. Still walkable for us but was about 20 minutes to get to the city centre which was about as far out as we’d want to go.

The room was clean. Check in was easy, after messaging with the hotel when we would arrive. But you could hear every door open loudly and people talking in the other rooms. It was good for a couple nights.

We really enjoyed our time! Everything was clean, it was nice having coffee and extra blankets in the room, and we appreciated having enough shampoo provided for all three of us. The woman that checked us in was cheerful and explained everything thoroughly. The patio area that we had access to was quite nice as well. If we come back to Florence we will definitely keep this in mind as a place to stay for the future.

For our group this was just a quick stopover before taking the train early in the morning to Monterosso. The train station was walkable. The rooms were basic. If we were in Florence to enjoy the town for a few days this is not what we would consider.

The room was clean and modern inside. Area is about 25-30 minutes walking to anything (food, activities, shopping, etc.) and loud has there is no insulation to help with outside noises or other guests. Staff was friendly but there’s no 24 hour front desk which they do disclose in description. Out AC went out night 2 so we had to sleep with windows open as the building itself is stuffy and humid

El Roy Gardens was a very convenient, clean place to stay for your visit to Florence. It's proximity to the train station is a big plus. Neighborhood was quiet, staff was courteous and fees are very much affordable. I will stay at this place again on my next trip to Florence. Y - Boston, MA - May 2025

it was far from everything, The garden at the El Roy was not like it looked on Expeida. The rooms were clean, but I had to ask for more towels and toilet paper. There was someone to greet us but other people arriving there no one to greet them and they did not know where to go for info. I would not recomend this one , maybe for students

Horrible experience!!! There’s mold in the ceiling of the bathroom and even in the room - looks like just painted the ceiling. Send email to the staff to move us to another room as I was experiencing severe allergic reactions to the moulds and problem breathing. No response from the staff, just send somebody who can’t speak English and collect the tax for the other room. I need a refund. Avoid this hotel at all cost.

The only decent thing is the room. The building is awful and creepy. At night looks like an scenary from a horror movie. The staff, well there is no staff or front desk. The pictures in Expedia are misleading people showing gardens that are not accessible or don't exist. Going out a night is challenging because there are people that look dangerous in the surrounding areas.

Our stay at El Roy Garden rooms was interesting to put it into one word. When we got there, the directions took us to a completely different building, and there was nobody there to check us in. I then called and then somebody came. However what I cared about most was the area, it was just my boyfriend and I staying here, and this hotel was in a pretty unsafe area, which made me uneasy. The man who cleaned was very nice and made sure to smile as we passed and such, and made sure our room was clean. Personally, as a young girl, I would stay somewhere else due to safety, but if this isn’t a concern for you then you will be fine.

The room was ok and as described. It was clean and everything that we needed. Location was convenient although not the nicest. They charged me extra for a late check in which I don’t remember reading. This is a room in an apartment so there is no front desk. They responded to questions through the application.

Clean, functional rooms in handy location close to train station. Overall fair value for money. Poor communication from staff resulted in difficulty and lengthy checking in.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was a budget-friendly renovated rental, but there were several issues during our stay. The address provided was not accurate, and we had to wait under the hot sun for 20 minutes for someone to arrive and open the door. Unfortunately, the person assisting us didn’t speak English or French, so all communication had to be done via WhatsApp. Inside the room, both the AC and fridge were leaking, and we had to mop the floor and dry the walls every evening upon our return. Towels were not changed on the morning of our second day, and the property had many stairs, which may be challenging for some guests. Overall, considering the conditions, it did not feel like good value for the price we paid for three nights.
