Staff was awesome! Rooms were clean. I was a bit stressed when the hotel sent me a message through Expedia but their email is blanked out with the app. There was someone at the hotel upon my afternoon arrival who sent me a code through WhatsApp to access the room. We were here the night before an early flight and the airport shuttle was prompt and courteous. We even had dinner and drinks that I would recommend on the hotel patio.

Very Good Hotel for Airport Access

We had an early morning flight out of FLR and Hotel Franchi was perfect for us. Airport shuttle service to FLR started at 04:15, was on-time, and took only 10 minutes to FLR. The hotel was very comfortable, clean, and the staff was extraordinary! Bar and food onsite was very good and the terrace was a nice respite in the busy city to relax before a long day of travel. We had the quadruple room and it efficiently accommodated us and our two adult children fine for the evening. A bit tight, but we are used to traveling together. The large balcony on the room was an added bonus. We will use the Hotel Franchi again flying in or out of FLR.

Disliked: Amenities
Hotel is OK. Bare bones and completely lacking in charm, but OK for a hotel that is close to the airport. They have a digital code for the main hotel entrance and the guest room door that needs to be sent via email on the day of check-in, which is fairly unwieldy, especially because Expedia does not allow email addresses to be included in its messaging service. Also, the first code they sent me didn’t work and needed to be reset.

Great location with easy access to the airport. The property offers airport shuttle service for a fee. Also a lovely restaurant & bar with delicious dinner options in a cozy setting. Breakfast available for a modest fee so that’s a plus especially if you’re catching an early morning flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

We chose this hotel because we had an early morning flight and wanted to be close to the airport. Please make sure you read the info for check in and entry into the hotel prior to arrival. It is a little complicated and best done with internet access. The location is ideal for the airport and the lobby area is appealing. The rooms are small and efficient, no extras but a great place to sleep if you want to be close to the airport. We found a great restaurant a block from the hotel that was a surprise. Also, it was nice to be able to have a drink in the lobby of the hotel.

Everything is ok except for the thin walls. We could hear everything that was spoken in the neighbor rooms. And, late at night, one of our neighbors had a very noisy intercourse, which was pretty uncomfortable. Not the hotel's fault, but something has to be done to avoid all the sound to move across the walls.
