Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Iq Hotel Firenze, particularly noting the well-stocked mini-fridge with complimentary drinks and snacks. The location is advantageous, with the city center within a 10 to 15-minute walk and convenient access to the train station. Some have found the rooms a bit small for four people, but overall, many appreciate the jetted bathtub and separate shower in the spacious bathrooms.

The front desk personnel were polite. Every request saw quick action.
The air conditioning fought a losing battle to cool the small room. It struggled a lot. the bed, sadly, felt harder than rock. It greatly hampered sleep quality. the shower was awful. The water alternated between hot and cold.
