Hotels near CLAP Factory Experience in Calenzano

I made a booking and payment through the application Booking.com for a night. Upon checking-in, the lady on the front desk told me that there is no reservation under my name. I showed her the copy of the payment I did and the email of confirmation I received. After 10 minutes of checking their system, she apologized and told me there was something wrong with their computer. I should have read well all the reviews and not just looked at the 4 ⭐ label this hotel have because the establishment is already old. There was even a leak on the lobby where the staff just put a couple of white towels. When we entered our rooms and bathrooms, we did not expect them to be in such conditions. The hotel definitely needs proper maintenance. The walls are dirty and stained. Along the corridor the paint and the cabinets are old. The ceiling of the bathroom has bars, but you can see the rust/mold accumulated. When we went to the bar for the breakfast (which was also included in my booking), the server told me that we do not have the breakfast included. I was about to go to the front desk when the same lady apologized and told me that yes we can do the buffet. We paid very low for one night that is why we were not expecting much from the said buffet..croissant and coffee to heaten our tummies will do good. The good side we noticed is with regards to the staff. They all seem of the same age (nearly 60s). It is possible that they've been working in the hotel for many years meaning the management is good..just need to pay some attention to the maintenance of their establishment. Thank you!

Very convenient for the travelers with their car, highway is just nearby, so are the bus stops for line #2 to go to Florence. The trip to centre takes a bit more than one hour, and it is recommended to have the bus tickets ready, otherwise pay directly on the bus with a contactable bank card. The hotel staff is nice , room service perfect, the breakfast buffet is excellent. The cooperator pizzaria serves the meals and pastas etc, the customers have to pay an additional sitting fee 2€ each.

The reception Staff were particularly good. The room was OK. We decided to eat in the `Restaurant`. The Waitress was not really interested. We waited and waited for just the menu to arrive. We ordered our food which came relatively quickly, the soup that was listed did not resemble any soup we have ever experienced. The ice cream which I could not eat was disgusting. The Waitress had disappeared we could not discus this issue at all. Having travelled nearly 600 kilometers that day in the heat, we could not wait because we were so tired. In the morning when we went to settle the bill, we found it had already been taken and the Receptionist did not want to understand and offered us two beers, small compensation.

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.

The hotel is within walking distance from the Cathedral/ historical city. The hotel has parking space available that needs to be booked in advance. We had big room with view on the garden. It was quite, nice and clean. The room we had has also kitchenette. If next time in Florence I will first try to book room in this hotel.

We have been in charge of this hotel during a stay in Prato and having commitments in the area. Typical structure for short stops, not very cheap from my point of view, as the structure is quite date, the mail of our room to close it was needed to push the rooms with force, cleaning the rooms at the best. Positive notes: Receptionist, large free parking, good mattress, good air conditioning in the room, even though objectively a little noise winds, but with fatigue you overcome noise. Notes negative; breakfast at 5 euros seems to me too much, when other reception facilities include it in the cost of the room, the close shower door (at least in our room), if a customer is ”often” doubt that he can enter, And as I said before, it cleans a little superficial. A hotel without praise and no fame.

This can't really be a 4-star hotel. 3 stars maximum.. Facilities aged and not well maintained. Garage was out of service which was quite inconvenient.. I appreciated that dogs are welcome without any extra charge, however still for a hundred euros a night I would expect higher standard. The room was smelling very very bad. Like gas or a corpse. Bathroom was old and not well kept and breakfast also not good enough for a 4 star hotel.

Chiamo l'hotel nel giorno 21 maggio chiedo informazioni e prenoto una stanza ,richiamo l'hotel per la conferma mi dicono prenotato e che il costo era di 45 euro a notte e di venire in hotel entro le 22 per il check in . Li richiamo il giorno del check in per dirlo che alle 22 ero in hotel ,mi risponde l'operatore con veemenza ,arroganza e maleducazione e mi dice che non risulta nessuna prenotazione mi riattacca il telefono ,al che io richiamo l'hotel toscana dopo pochi minuti per chiedere spiegazioni (visto che la prenotazione era stata effettuata e che l'operatore mi aveva detto dettagli quali prezzo tipo di stanza e orario check in ) nel l'ultima chiamata mi risponde sempre il solito operatore al che gli ridico della mia prenotazione con tutti i dettagli ,sapete lui cosa fa ? Mi riattacca il telefono in faccia assurdo..... Chiudo dicendo a tutte le persone che vedranno questa recensione di non prenotare mai in questo albergo . Chiudo scrivendo una parola e solo una . VERGOGNA ...........

The hotel is located close to nothing but the highway. Beds were comfortable, room clean and spacious, bathroom good sized with supplies, large parking area. Our included breakfast was buffet style with everything and of high quality, which was great value. There was an unattractive pool. Didn't use the included wifi. At check-in we were informed a/c is turned off at 8am in the morning. There were few guests during our one-night stay, so everything was quiet. Excellent choice for us with a rental car and an errand in the area. But would never stay here for multiple days because of its remote location and never if one doesn't have own car.

This hotel was booked by a company I am working for, so I am sure it was booked purely on price as we were quite a large party. I understand that any business coming out of lockdown has a hard job on its hands, but on entering my room, I did feel it was necessary to wipe everything down with disinfectant wipes as everything was quite dusty. Some of my colleagues were unhappy with the cleanliness of their rooms. Following my initial clean down, my room was tidied daily. Wifi is poor, except in reception which has nowhere to sit and work, so if you are here on business, you don’t have any privacy to get work done. Continental breakfast is okay, but I cannot think of anything good to say about the cooked food, except that I have lost weight because I have not eaten very much. We are not allowed out of our bubble, so we have not been allowed to eat elsewhere, but if you can, I would. I have been served undercooked pasta five nights in a row, which tastes of salt, then meat and fried potatoes, which again tastes like it has been preserved in salt. Day 5 and the vegetarians in our group are stiil being served meat which could be considered quite funny, but they were not impressed. Although the staff are very apologetic, it is then replaced somewhat later with a greasy omelette which looks extremely unappetising and lonely on its plate but the soup is okay. They didn't have any sauces or gravy to serve with the food at the beginning of the week so the food tasted very over cooked, salty and dry, but we did get gravy this evening, so it has improved a little. I have been craving some vegetables with my dinner but greasy Salty eggplant is the only option. Oddly, mixed veg is served at breakfast. They dont really understand dietary requirements, so if you are ceoliac, best not chance it. I maybe doing the catering staff a dis-service, because they may have been drafted in from a different occupation, like myself and just doing their best in difficult circumstances. Catering is clearly not their forte. Everyone seems friendly enough.
