“Great Hotel”

I would certainly recommend this hotel. Hotel room is great, comfortable, spacious, great breakfast, every hotel employee is very polite and helpfull, free wi-fi.. etc. I could go on and on about positives on this hotell. Its true the hotel is another 5-10 min walk from center of Florence but for me that was just perfect. Location is lovely and quiet.

“nice hotel, not very helpful staff.”

Nice hotel, clean, good size bedrooms. We had 2 rooms. The ones looking at the river have a great view. The other ones...just dont open the curtains. One of our rooms was booked for a couple and a 6 year old. The room had 2 single beds stuck together and when asked about the extra bed this was the answer "we are fully booked, he can sleep between you".

Area recommendations
a few blocks away from the city center, but it makes you walk and know otherwise unknown areas of the city. Everything is 5 blocks away so dont worry

“Marvellous”

Hotel Plaza Lucchesi, would stay there again without a second thought, we had a river view which was fabulous, a little noisy perhaps with the traffic but well worth it, in fact i'm sure wherever you stay in Florence it would be quite noisy in this compact city. It was very accessible to all the sites, and only one bridge away from Ponte Vecchio.

Area recommendations
Visit Piazzale Michelangelo where a bronze of David stands, you get a great view of Florence from up there.
Getting around
Trains out of the city are roughly hourly, remember to validate your ticket s in the yellow box on platforms before boarding trains!!! Purchase bus tickets at Tabbachi or news stands and check whether they are timed so you don't get caught out. Wish there was a bus map of Florence that told you where to catch which bus to where, and which side of the street you should wait on maybe there is but we never found one, as you have to really on hotel staff and other travelers you meet.

“Highly recommended Florence hotel”

An excellent hotel situated just off the very centre of Florence by the bank of the River Arno and close to The National Library and s.Croce. Five minutes walk to local restaurants and ten minutes to The Uffizi Gallery. A little further to all the major sights, cafes and eateries. Faultless service and an exceptional Concierge. Outstanding inclusive buffet-style breakfast with all one would expect plus a fresh and cooked fruit section which, surprisingly, offered Champagne. A very comfortable and highly enjoyable establishment.

“Nice place but could use a staff upgrade”

Overall I give a tepid endorsement to the hotel. It was clean and well maintained, and its location is certainly fine since it is within easy walking distance of many of Florence's major attractions. The staff, however, was lacking in enthusiasm and friendliness, seeming to be perfunctory rather than genuinely interested in guest concerns and comfort.

“Everything we had hoped for”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Plaza Lucchessi. Romano the concierge was extremely helpful and a true gentleman. Florence was not originally on our itinerary but friends strongly recommended that we go and stay at the Plaza Lucchessi. From the beginning of our stay I knew we had made the right decision. The recommendations made by the front desk were always spot on.

What to pack
Pack Light! We were told this a million times and thought we were adhering to this advise. We really could have brought half of what we did. We ended up having to ship a box of our clothes home because, after a little shopping, we could no longer drag everything around Italy. To you Americans, who have never been to Italy and are listening to the guide books - dress as you would at home. We saw plenty of people in Italy wearing sandals, shorts and tank tops. The books had me thinking I had to bring dressier clothes than necessary. As long as you don't dress like a bum at home you will be fine.
Shopping
Shopping in Florence is better than shopping in Rome. For some really special leather goods, check out the leather school behind the Santa Croce church.
