Wyndham Garden Florence

We arrived at the Florence airport at 11 PM, with our next flight scheduled for 6:45 AM the following morning. Unfortunately, the airport closes overnight and only reopens at 4 AM. Looking for a place to rest and freshen up, we found a nearby hotel, hoping to take a quick shower and relax for a few hours. For just $87 a night, we weren’t expecting anything fancy — but we were genuinely surprised! The hotel turned out to be modern, super clean, and incredibly comfortable. We had stayed in several hotels across Italy during our trip, often paying between $250 and $350 per night, and yet none of them were as spotless as this one. Some guests might find the rooms a bit small, and the hotel is about twelve stops by train from the city center. So you’ll want to consider your priorities when booking. But if you’re looking for a clean, welcoming, and convenient place near the airport, this hotel is an excellent choice. We also want to mention Licio at the front desk — he was polite, helpful, and professional. He even called a taxi for us, which arrived within 5 minutes and cost just 16 euros to get back to the airport. Thank you for a short but very pleasant stay!

This is a very modern, clean, efficient hotel. If you are looking for Florentine charm, stay by the center. But if you have an early morning flight or are coming in late at night, this is one of the few places very close to the airport and to airport car rental. The room was basic but comfortable and more roomy than typical (we had a room with a double and a twin bed), the shower was good, the staff were very helpful and were there 24/7, free parking on site, they arranged for our 4:30am taxi to the airport (20 euros), and the hotel is a block or two from the T2 line for a quick train ride to the center or else a 25 euro cab ride. There is a free evening cocktail and you can purchase breakfast but the timing didn't work out so we didn't try it. A very convenient place to stay for a first or last night in Florence near the airport. And by the way, we were worried about whether this tiny airport would be open at 4:30, and they were not only open but very busy at that time of day and there was a pastry shop open in the airport at that time.

My flight to Florence was delayed and I wasn't due to arrive until 2330hr at the earliest, and I had a minimum two hour drive to complete after this. So, while waiting to board my flight, I decided to check if there were any last minute discounted rooms near Florence airport and found the Wyndham Gardens hotel offering just that and I booked a room. The room design was what you would find in most hotels in Scandinavia, stylish, modern, and comfortable.

Easy access to and from the tram from main train station (walkable from tram stop) Just one stop from the airport. So great for early flights. Since I arrived early in the day staff let me store my bag while I took the tram back into Florence for the rest of the day. I got back after dark but the area felt very safe. It’s not a “historical/old” neighborhood but a place where people live in more modern buildings. Room was small but very clean. I was on the top floor and had a nice view. Great breakfast!

Everything was amazing. Had a safe, small fridge for drinks but complimentary water bottles. Nice big TV with comfortable beds. Electric charging spot outside (only two) for €20, I would recommend charging overnight if possible because it’s a slower charging. Has on site parking spots and vending machine in the lobby. We slept in too late for breakfast because we got there late so we didn’t try that.
