Hotel was in a great location with easy access to public transport, first night I arrived didnt get a nice welcome from the guy who was at the reception but the other ladies at the desk were smiling and welcoming in the following days.
The room was clean and cleaned everyday from what i observe. I was disapppointed that the room did not have a kettle and tea bags, I had to ask to get a kettle the 2nd day and tea bags were only given that day and the following day out of the 6 days i stayed there. No iron was in the room either. I was also very disappointed that there wasn't any full lenght mirror in the room which made it difficult to check my appearance before heading out, so had to rely on my phone camera and the elevator mirror while going out to check my attire for the day. The room was very small overall, l didnt have much space to move between the window and bed or the chair and table to bed. Area was safe and had the sea front to sit and relax and watch the sunset. I would recommend for location and cleanliness.

This is the second time staying here. Our room was on the second floor and had a balcony we could go out on and eat, relax or people watch. Very enjoyable. Chairs was so pleasant and helpful at the front desk. No matter how many times we asked questions or directions, she answered them with a smile. Sending o shot from the front of the hotel at night.

A clean and spacious room with an amazing view overlooking the harbor. The restaurant looked good, but served very okay food. The breakfast was crazily sugary to the point that I wanted to go get tested for diabetes afterwards. The staff in the restaurant was a bit rude.

Hotel is nice and convenient to catching the ferry. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and nice. The con: There is no designated parking. You are basically on your own and must pay during parking hours. It is near a 4 plex movie theater so finding a parking spot at night is very difficult.

The staff was friendly but hotel and rooms smelled , there was no air condition, there is an elevator but it doesn’t connect to all the rooms - you have to walk down some additional stairs and I have a bad knee so was painful. Location is decent if you can walk . Would not stay here again .

The hotel states that there is a gym at the hotel, even pictures of a gym at their website, and thats why we chosed this hotel. They haven´t had a gym in 2 years! When we alerted this to the reception at check in they were really nonchalant and we got no compensation at all! Its also very hard to find parking space at the hotel. We will not come back

Location is convenient if your business is downtown or at the port.
Parking is a big problem though as it is practically nil.

Great overnight stay in Livorno. Hotel was in great location and although rooms were small, it was adequate for one night. Staff were helpful and overall we were quite satisfied
3.0 / 10.0
Location was convenient for us, but overpriced for what they had to offer. The restaurant attached was pricey and for every amenity the hotel had they charged extra (i.e. to use the pool it was an extra 12 euros per person).

I expected a nicer room when staying at the Gran Duca. It was very average. Bathroom was quite small and towels changed each night (really! is that necessary when the planet is suffering so much). The pillows were hard and uncomfortable.

Clean, comfortable, dated but noisy. Street noise is very loud. Information and directions to hotel shown on confirmation was wrong and it took far from the hotel initially. We finally located the hotel on the web to find out where the hotel was located.

This was a good hotel, conveniently located to the city centre and to ferry docks. On arrival, we were given a 10% discount card for use in their restaurant. When we went to eat at 7:20 pm, we were told to come back in 15 minutes as the kitchen was not open. This seemed odd as there was a large group being served in part of the restaurant. On our return about 20 mins later, we were asked if we had a reservation. We replied no and we then told “well the restaurant is full”. It was evident that they were preparing for a second large group. It is evident that this hotel particularly caters to large groups and really is not interested in individual travelers.

The hotel was in a great location, close to the port, shopping and plenty of attractions and food options. The food at the hotel restaurant was really very good- have the Octopus!!! You wont regret it. They were very helpful arranging any transportation I needed, too. Only criticism is the wifi was very weak in my room on the 3rd floor, so I had to do my work in the lobby.

This has the potential to be a really nice hotel but it seems that a lot has been left to age and ware.The hotel make a lot of their personalised toiletries but I fear that if more was spent on the upkeep on the and less on something quite meaningless, the hotel would be much more appealing.

Just decent hotel structure. Room on the last floor ugly and dirty. Car parking extremely awkward.

We had a great hotel room, unfortunately the toilet was broken. At the beginning came someone who told us that we got a new room but unfortunately everything was busy at the time. Unfortunately, we did not get a new room until the end. At the front desk one was very rude to us. We wanted to eat in the hotel restaurant and were very rude at the reception. After waiting we got a table inside, unfortunately we were waited after 25 minutes still not served. We were there for 4 people and wanted to celebrate a birthday.
We then got up and left. At these high prices no service.
Impossible the restaurant chef. I can not recommend.
The staff in the breakfast room was very friendly.

It was our second time to this hotel. The suite is really good, nice view, good shutters to make the room pitch black. Well located, decent breakfast included with delicious espresso coffe.

Great hotel for a post-ferry trip from Sardinia. About a 1/4 mile bag-drag, but pretty short considering. We were very happy with this hotel and the breakfast. AC was terrific in late August. Dinner at the hotel resto was excellent.
1.5 / 10.0
The room they gave us was VERY small and claustrophobic. After requesting a change we were given a "triple room", bigger but with an extra bed making the room really crowded. Hotel is very old and shows its age in not a good way.
Staff was helpful.
