Best Pontenuovo Hotels

It is convenient to go shopping in barberino and the parking lot is very big.

Hotel First is situated near the town of Calenzano, Tuscany. It is a 25 minute train ride from Florence. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the train station, get the Patagione stop not the Calenzano stop or you will be a 30 minute walk from the hotel. Trains are hourly until around 6pm, but not all trains stop there. The hotel bedrooms were very spacious and clean, beds weren't particularly comfortable, but ok. The biggest complaint I had was that they have hung the curtains about 30cm back from the actual window, and whilst looking straight on this is fine, when in bed there is a HUGE gap between the window and the wall which results in you being woken at 5am when the sunlight hits the room. The other issue is that the ground floor rooms do smell quite strongly of cigarette smoke, even though the hotel rooms are all non-smoking, not sure if this is a legacy issue, or whether some people were having crafty cigarettes but it was really noticeable. Hotel breakfast had a lot of choice and we dined twice in the restaurant in the evening which we found to be very good and reasonably priced for a hotel. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and understanding of my poor Italian. They nearly all spoke excellent English, which made things easier for us.

I read the impressions about this hotel and I was scared.I chose to stay one night here and I have a big question: either I am too lucky or other tourists too unlucky. Let's start with:free parking (we found easy place), at the reception there were 3 employees all very kind.I received the room immediately(215) and I waited to see the cockroaches,to feel the bad smell but to my surprise the room was very clean, with clean bed linen, with towels almost ok(a little old).Bathroom quite spacious with shower and tub.Mini bar where you can cool a drink and TV with many programs. Since it was not very hot I did not use AC so I can not pronounce.I slept very well in a quite comfortable bed.In the morning I was in the breakfast room and I found what to eat .It's a basic Italian breakfast.If I have something to reproach is that the omelet is served cold. In conclusion, it is a hotel with a quality-price ratio,correct.At all other hotels in Calenzano the price is double. I'm coming back here in a month and I'll see if I was lucky the first time or I'll be just as satisfied.At departure the boy from the reception he promised me that if I specify in the reservation I will receive the same room.

Attention ⚠️ Attention ⚠️ Attention ⚠️ New hotel that has only been open for a few months on the outskirts of Prato, among popular buildings mostly inhabited by foreigners perhaps with regular residence permits; so much so that arriving on Dominica 25, with our car loaded with samples with which we work, despite having booked on the evening of Saturday 24, we didn't feel like staying there for safety reasons. Unfortunately, the info reported on Booking regarding the possibility of parking did not specify that it was unattended public parking and the girl with whom we booked in turn did not clarify the lack of safe parking on the phone, becoming aware of the risk to whom we would be exposed once to the desk we asked the girl if they could park in front of the entrance door of the small structure and she told us that the next day at 5:00 in the morning the urban garbage would pass, so it was impossible to leave the car there. While we were making the decision with my partner whether to stay or not, the girl on the phone answered that there were free rooms and we could book. At this point, deeming it safer to go to a safer hotel without having created inconvenience of missing reservations from other customers, we parted with the girl with the commitment on her part to speak to the property or the manager today, Monday 26 June and see what was possible to do about the reservation which at that point we understood that it had already been paid, having given us the card details at the request of the desk as a guarantee, instead they issued a pre-order which if for any reason in customer could not go or stay they withdraw the value of one night. For your protection, we advise you to carefully check the conditions that the structure applies to you, because they have no attention or sensitivity to the actual needs of the customer. The classic speculative structure where the customer is something to speculate on even if in difficulty, because they hide behind laws and rules that authorize them to withdraw your money without doing anything. Even if the service from them was not provided and our reservation did not create any damage, being the structure half empty.
