FH55 Grand Hotel Mediterraneo

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel this past July for almost a week with the recommendation of Enrique. When I first arrived along with my husband, the people at the front of the door helped open the door. Checking in was very smooth with the help of the manager in the front (Laura). We were easily checked in and escorted upstairs to our room within a matter of minutes. Room was great with a nice patio overlooking a section of the Arno River. The location of the hotel is very nice as it is walking distance to the River. I even walked there during sunset hour. It is beautiful. My favorite part of the hotel was the breakfast buffet. In my opinion, it is better than the ones in America. The food was delicious. It was nice to try the coffee with their coffee machines. Might I add, not all hotels offer a juicer. While traveling, it can be hard to stay healthy so that juicer was very nice. The room was well air conditioned. It was well kept. The housekeeping lady did an amazing job keeping the room tidy. It was nice coming back to a cool room. Also, I forget the name of the young lady bartender... she was very nice and accommodating. The front desk even helped call the taxis when necessary since we're not from there. The lobby was also a nice place just to relax and cool down while waiting for a ride or just lounging. Would definitely recommend staying here and coming back again.

Lobby is beautiful but that is where it ends. Worst room I've ever had. Old and outdated. A TV the size of a small monitor. There were 3 twin Murphy beds and another twin cot. Half the lights didn't work. Walls were dirty and floor was chipped. Glad I only had to stay 2 nights. Do not recommend.

We stayed at Hotel F55 for a few nights. The location is convenient, but unfortunately, it comes with a major downside: the noise. Whether it's a salsa party, a street rave, or just chaos outside – it's loud. The windows are very thin and don’t help at all. Even when closed, the noise makes it really hard to sleep. Breakfast was okay, but very limited in variety. The staff, however, were super friendly and helpful – definitely the highlight of our stay. The room itself was fine – clean and functional – but again, the poor sound insulation really affected our experience. Bottom line: If you're a deep sleeper and value location over quiet, this might work for you. Otherwise, better look elsewhere.
