“Gross”

I did not like this hotel at all. My brother and I were actually given an upgraded room when we arrived and we were really excited up until we saw the room. It was FILTHY. I was actually scared to put my bare feet on the floor or in the shower and I am not usually squeemish about that sort of thiing. There were bugs all over the room as well. I came away with bug bites and my brother complained that his legs itched until we left and then the itching miraculously stopped. There was a hole, literally a giant hole in the shower doors that I mentioned to the staff more than once and another hole by the window in the bathroom. The bed was hard as a rock. The neighborhood is more than a little iffy, especially at night. There are actually metal gates on the patio doors on the bottom floor to keep people out. The hotel will attempt to charge you ridiculous amounts for any sort of cleaning service, so don't ask. The only good things I have to say about this hotel is that the reception staff was mostly very nice and it was easy to get to the city center by bus. However, ultimately I don't think the bug bites, lack of hygienic conditions and discomfort were worth it.

“Very clean and accomodating”

I only stayed for a night and had to be close to the airport which made Quadra ideal, booked at a very good rate, well below published cost through Expedia Not the closest to downtown Florence, but a doable walk, and plenty of restaurants in the area if you are just looking for a place to eat.

“good option close to airport”

Built as an extended stay type place with mini kitchens, nice for us with a toddler. Nice too that there is a small grocery store right next door. Location key for a one night stay, left early for airport next morning. Kitchen was well equipped, bed was fine, only issue was bathroom floor seemed a little dirty once water was spilled on it. Didn't try breakfast.

“Convenient to airport”

The helpful staff greeted us warmly and provided information about the local bus service and tickets to the old section of Florence and Fiesole. The surrounding area seemed safe and a convenient small market was adjacent to the hotel for buying food for our meals to cook in the kitchenette, which was well stocked with equipment. There is also a coffee bar next to the hotel. Comfortable beds, very clean overall. Quiet. Would definitely stay again for a quick exit to the airport.

“Good location for overnight stay before going to the airport”

We chose this hotel for an overnight stay because it was relatively close to the airport (less than 10 minutes by taxi), and we had a very early morning flight the next day. The hotel was clean but somewhat spartan, but it served our purposes fully. I wouldn't recommend it if you were wanting to stay somewhere special or closer to the heart of Florence. The people working there were very nice and helpful though.

“Great People, Substandard Hotel and Not What We Expected”

The people were very helpful but it seemed to be almost "hostile-like", catering to college students and more dorm-like than 4-star hotel. I brought my 70 year old mom for her birthday and thought we were closer to the city center than we actually were. There wasn't much to do in walking distance and cab fare from the hotel cost, on average, 15 euro. The staff was very helpful and the room was spotless, the location is on a busy street so very noisy and room was energy efficient therefore not allowing the heat to go very high and room was very cold (temps ran at night in the 20's-30's and max heat in the room was in the 60's). I would recommend the place for cleanliness and an economical place to stay.

“Very miserable hotel”

My wife and I are very easy travelers; by this I mean nothing much bothers us and we laugh at the complaints of others when they go abroad. We stayed three nights at Quadra Key residence in Florence and it nearly ruined our trip. Our room was right off the main road, so the noise outside was overwhelming. I travel with earplugs just in case of this, but this was the first time they were ever needed. The room was absolutely freezing *stayed in February*, and while we left the heating unit *which is on the ceiling of all places* on all night, we had to sleep in our clothes to keep warm. The temp matches our home in Oregon exactly so it's not like we were not used to cold weather. By the third night we had had enough and complained about not having heat. They offered to charge me to rent a space heater! I refused and they ended up giving it for free, but not with a good attitude. The tile floor was frozen solid and so cold you couldn't be barefoot at any time. I had to fix technical problems myself, like the wall ethernet jack being broken, which I had to remount for them. The internet in Italy is equivalent to a 14,400 baud dial-up from 1993 in the US, but who cares really. I don't go on vacation to update facebook! The front desk staff was friendly but not helpful. The do not disturb sign on the door was ignored completely. The neighborhood is really run down and rather sketchy at night. The bus does run right out front however, so that made getting around very easy.
