Clean room, very clean bathroom. Elevator could use updating, but room had AC so I was grateful for that since I had a long hot travel day. Convenient location to airport. Would recommend for a quick overnight stay if you have an early flight!

The hotel was good and that's what we wanted. It was a place to sleep but not too much more. Breakfast was good and the room was nice. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The location was very isolated with nothing around except a gas station and a church.

We chose The Gate because it is 10-minute taxi ride from Florence Airport. The room was great for the low price. The restaurant in the hotel served decent food, too. They arranged for our 4:00 am taxi to the airport.

The room itself was clean, but the hallways and elevator were old and dirty. There were many carpet stains, and dead mosquitos accumulating in the elevator. It also smelled of smoke in the hallways and elevator. At least the location was convenient to the airport (although still requires a taxi), which is what we needed. The restaurant is decent as well, and the service is kind.

listing shows that the hotel has AC, but it wasn’t actually working. When asked, the staff said it’s not working for the whole hotel and asked me to open a window. I followed their advice and opened a window, only to be bitten by mosquitoes. Also, I’m pretty sure someone smoked in the bathroom as I can smell it the moment I open the door

This hotel does not have proper management as our room is taken by someone else when we arrive and they had to send us to another hotel which has even no water cup provided in the room. There is no promised parking space available as a result of this change and we need to have our money refunded!

Stay away from the restaurant on premises!!

Reception workers were very pleasant and helpful, but restaurant stuff thats on premises horrible!! My son and I decided to have dinner there. After sitting down menus were given to us but after that no one came to even ask what we wanted to drink. I finally said something to one the waiters walking by. We’re ordered drinks and food and waited. Looked like there were local workers there and everyone was being served before us even though they came after. My son and I decided to leave. I don’t mind waiting, but being totally ignored by stuff walking by is horrendous!!

Rubbish

Reception staff were friendly and helpful but room was down prison like corridors with very cheap carpet which looked like it had been soiled by dogs. Room very dated but large enough. Bathroom lighting was very poor to hide broken tiles and black mould. Shower over pitted bath needed fitting properly. Breakfast was a disgrace. Ugh milk in coffee machine, fruit juice from syrup, scrambled egg made from powder so just bread black coffee and jam. Taxi into centre cost 50 euros each way so not a hotel to visit Florence.
