We stayed at the Giada hotel for 3 nights and it was quite sufficient for our needs. The breakfast in the morning was not much to write home about, but at least it was included and gave us something to start our day. The beds were comfortable and we got a quite room. We had read reviews of the rooms... more

We stayed in Hotel Giada from 10th of May to 13rd of May 2009. It was very easy to find, since it is only 10 minutes walk distance from santa maria novella train station to the hotel. There was always a public market in front of the hotel and we bought presents for our friend from there. The staff was... more

We stayed in Giada Hotel early May. At first, finding the Hotel was difficult because a market is installed along the street with a lot of people and stores hanging around; however we find later that it's location was excellent since everything worthseeing was close.

This hotel was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The light in the bathroom didnt work and when we informed the front desk they did nothing, so we had no light for the whole stay. i would go as far as to say they ruined our trip. They sat us at a dirty table in an almost empty... more

The hotel Giada is a little tricky to find simply because it has a small entrance and there is so many hotels in the back streets around the Medici palace. At night the area it is in is a little suspect, but having said that we never encountered any problems on our few days there. However, out front of the... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Giada in Florence for 4 nights from 10/8/08 – 10/12/08. To sum it up… we got what we paid for. We bought our stay through hotels.com for $123 a night with all fees and taxes. That’s a cheaper hotel in Florence. Be careful most hotels don’t have a private bathroom. Our room... more
