positive:
Free snacks & wine.
Most evenings, guests that are at the hotel are presented with the choice to partake in the free nibbles and wine in the public lounge area. It’s a great way to wind down from a busy day of sight-seeing, and to meet new people from around the world.
positive:
Location is everything.
Guests travelling to experience the cultural side of Florence, could not have chosen a better place than the Globus Hotel. All the important museums are within a short walking distance, making travel to each of them a breeze.
positive:
Freshly ground coffee at breakfast.
What could be better than breakfast served in each guest’s private room, and enjoying it at one’s own leisure? Freshly ground coffees, and even espressos! Nothing is better than a fresh, hot cup of Italian coffee.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms need double-glazing.
With its central location, The Globus Hotel sees a lot of foot traffic on it’s doorstep. Unfortunately, some rooms closer to the ground need another layer of double-glazing, as the noise can be heard from inside a few rooms.
negative:
Narrow staircase to reception.
Unfortunately there is no lift at The Globus, only narrow staircases. Guests with limited mobility are not recommended to stay here. Never-the-less, the staircases are not too steep, and are easily traversed, even with luggage.
negative:
Rooms are a little sparse.
At The Globus Hotel, guests will find the rooms comfortable, but maybe a little sparse in furnishings. Luckily, the lack of unnecessary furniture makes for a spacious room, so guests wont feel cramped in their lodgings.
