Globus Urban Hotel

Amazing hotel with amazing staff

The Globus is walking distance from the train station and near most of the sites in Florence (mainly the San Lorenzo area). The hotel was up to date in décor and amenities. The staff was helpful and had umbrellas available for us to use! They were helpful with their recommendations and guidance. We took advantage of the happy hour with free food and one welcoming drink before we set off into the city. The breakfast was amazing and had all types of food available. We really enjoyed our stay here and I would highly recommend staying here.

I’m not usually impressed by hotels...I more or less treat it just a place to sleep so I’ve never reviewed one. But I’m so impressed by the service of this place I felt compelled to share the experience. The location was great but I was nervous when I saw a string of Chinese restaurants and the beginning of the street smelled a bit off...but the second we walked in, we felt so welcomed. By the smile of the reception and the place just looked chic. It’s not a big hotel but they managed to design it in some very clever ways that made it feel airy and light and wonderful. Our room was the perfect size. My mom had her little room with a single bed and my daughter and I pushed our two singles together and made a double. Room was clean and amenities were generous. The shower was AWESOME! The breakfast was continental so the usual cold meats and some hot items like eggs and bacon BUT I was so impressed they have Chinese congee!! I don’t know who else ate it but I did every morning cuz after 10 days of pasta and pizzas I was so happy for a bowl of congee with pickled and tofu and peanuts, they really thought of everything! Our last turned down service they left us bags of biscotti and a hand written post card thanking us and wishing us a good trip. I honestly cannot fault this place. They printed out our tickets. They are always happy to answer any questions. The location: so close to the Mercato Centrale that closes at midnight!

This is an amazing hotel. The location is perfect, a few minutes walk from train station. The central market was literally steps away. The street does not have motor vehicle traffic so the hotel is very quiet. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is amazing. There is no better place to stay in Florence.

We loved the location of this hotel. It was an easy walk to wherever we wanted to go. The room was small but perfect for our stay. The staff was extremely helpful. After we had trouble finding our way to the hotel, they gave us quick and easy directions back to the train station for when we left. Please get these directions ahead of time so you do not make the same mistake we did. The staff gave great recommendations on things to check out during our short stay and we were not disappointed. A beautiful city and we got to see a lot in one afternoon because of the great recommendations. Also, they recommended a restaurant and even made us reservations. The restaurant was one of the most incredible meals we had there. Great breakfast in the morning with an incredible amount of choices. Would definitely stay again.
