What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Saying my stay at Ibis Firenze Prato Est was awesome would honestly be an understatement. One of the biggest highlights was its convenient location — getting there was easy with a train from Santa Maria Novella to Calenzano, followed by bus 303 or just a 15-minute walk to the hotel. The service truly stood out. The staff were warm, professional, and welcoming across the board—from reception to the restaurant and even the housekeeping team. It made the whole experience feel effortless and comfortable. The rooms were clean, well-designed, and thoughtfully laid out. The bedding was fresh and comfortable, exactly what you’d expect for a relaxing stay. Breakfast each morning was good — while it didn’t have a wide variety, it definitely did the job and set the tone for the day. For lunch and dinner (since the hotel doesn’t serve these), the nearby Gigli Shopping Mall was a perfect solution. I especially enjoyed dining at Old Wild West Gigli—those onion rings as a starter became a tradition! The mall also offers great shopping options, making it a convenient all-in-one stop. This stay has definitely won me over. I’ll be coming back and will gladly recommend it to others. In fact, it inspired me to book Ibis Roma Fiera for my stay in Rome. Highly recommended!”
“The staff (her name is Spenza or similar) is really helpful in providing extra local tips. There are free parking in front of hotel and covered parking for 7euro per night behind. Overall a pleasant stay.”
