My Fiancé and I booked to stay at the Palazzo Dei Ciompi Suites between 17th -21st of April. We made the booking in January. We had booked the Penthouse Beatrice suite, which is meant to be the best standard of room at the hotel, as we were celebrating our engagement. When we arrived to check-in, we were handed keys to a room on the second floor. We pointed out that this couldn't be correct as the Penthouse would be on the top floor. The receptionist looked at us in a very confused manner. She investigated further and could see we had booked the Penthouse for the dates of our stay, but somehow the room had been double booked. We were unable to stay in the Penthouse room on the first night of our stay and we were essentially told there was nothing else they could do. The room we had booked was available the following night. There was no apology. We asked about how this would be remedied, namely because we were not getting what we paid for. We were offered a bottle of wine and we highlighted that this was inadequate. We also never received the bottle of wine that was offered. The Penthouse Suite did have stunning views. Compared to other reviews, we did have hot water and the shower and bath were in working order. However, the LED blue lights were on the whole time and there was no way of switching them off. The remote seemed not to work. We asked to speak with the manager but, conveniently, they were not available the entirety of our stay. The receptionist confirmed via Whatsapp that the manager would approve a refund for the first night, provided we go through our booking provider. I have done this and our booking provider is now informing me that the hotel are ignoring their calls and emails. Unfortunately, I would not recommend to stay here. All of the above would have been forgotten had we received the basic standard level of customer service. For the price we paid, I would not say the hotel is value for money.
