Hotel Orto de' Medici - Florence

9.9

As a single female traveller I felt very comfortable at this hotel and they were very helpful. The hotel was modern and very clean. The bathroom was excellent. I had a wonderful breakfast and the garden courtyard was wonderful. It was a short walking distance from all the sights. Only problem was the windows do not have screens and I left it open and turned off the air conditioner. I got lots of mosquito bits.

9.5

My wife and I along with or two older children stayed in a quadruple during our stop in Florence in our "once in a lifetime" multi-city Italy family trip. The Orto de' Medici is located about 5 minutes by Taxi from the train station and is within walking distance of all of the museums and landmarks we intended to visit. The room was large and reminiscent of its significant historical past. Everything was clean and well maintained. The breakfast, included with the price of the room, was quite good and consisted of much more than a light continental breakfast. The staff was helpful with restaurant recommendations and quite professional overall. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that the Internet access, both wireless and using the hotel computer, was intermittent and usually quite slow. I was on vacation so this wasn't particularly important to me, but this would be a problem if you're a business traveler who requires reliable, fast Internet service. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay at this wonderful hotel.

9.8

Excellent. This was the best hotel we stayed in our trip. The hotel was gorgeous, it felt like being in a renaissance palace and the staff were very helpful.

9.8

I miss a normal armchair in the room

6.7

Cleaning service was excellent, room was spotless and breakfast was nice with modest but plentiful food. Old, historic style was charming, but also disappointing: bathroom was VERY small and had the tub version of a SMART car. We had a small balcony which was very nice. Location was convenient; many of the historic sites were within walking distance.

8.9

My second time in Florence and a better hotel than the last time. Very convenient for what I wanted to see and good value for money.

8.4

Excellent hotel, 10 minutes walk from Duomo and Uffizi. Great service and a traditional feel to the whole place. The only criticism would be the occassional noise from a bar 50 metres down the road. The Academy restaurant around the corner is a must.

9.2

This was my second stay at Orto de Medici. It is a lovely hotel with a great location. The breakfast is good.

7.6

The location of the hotel is great. Near to the sites but away from the crowds. The room was lovely and the shutters kept it nice and dark. The staff were all very friendly. We had a lovely stay in Florence and would defo stay at this hotel again. The terrace is delightful and it would have been nice if the bar was open longer than 8pm as it was so pretty.

8.7

the hotel was fine, but it was difficult to find amoung so many tall buildings! we got lost after a short walk around town and had to take a cab back to find the place!

8.2

We were very pleased by the comfort of the hotel, the supportive staff, and the excellent breakfast. The location was close to the principal tourist sites.

9.1

loved this place with an easy location for Firenze walking

8.8

We spent time in Florence as a family and the hotel's famil room was splendid. It was quite a walk out of town but we really enjoyed both the hotel, the trip and the walk enabled us to find a magnificent deli were we enjoyed magnificent take awy pizza slices and other goodies.

8.1

Great hotel in the centre of Florence. Good price and location, easy walking distance to main attractions. Nice restaurants nearby.

8.8

The restaurant Accadamie was very nice and the corner pastry shop was excellent. A beutifully restored hotel, mixing the modern facilities (bathroom) with the classic details of the hotel's period. Very nice!

8.0

Very pleasant hotel on a quiet street and close to all the major attractions. The breakfast area was excellent.

9.9

We stayed 3 nights May, 2007. Outstanding hotel, in a fantastic area. Staff were great! Ask for a renovated room. Will stay there again.

8.1

Room was small but clean and comfortable, All the concierges were extrodinarily helpful. NONSMOKING!!! Nice frescoes on common first floor. NearSan Lorenzo market and the de MEdici chapels -2 short blocks away from the center of town. Felt safe coming and going at night.

7.1

This was my second time in Florence and this time did not meet my memory nor my expectations. In regards to this hotel, it is nice inside, but is located near a "kind of rough" part of town. My wife did not like walking down some of the streets at night. On the other hand, you are near and within walking distance of the Academia and other main attractions. We walked to everything we desired to reach. Rooms are clean and the Cappuccinos are the "Best" I had on our whole trip! Please note that if you drive to Florence and are keeping your car, then the garage is going to cost about 16 euros or 21 euros if you have the Hotel's partner come and valet the car in their garage (which is what we did and they took care of the car without an issue). The cost for this was an unexpected surprise to us upon our arrival. Outside of that, it is a nice three star hotel with a good staff.

6.6

Unfortunately the property is old and had sewer gas leaking into the room 24/7. We had to keep lav door and closet door closed and buy air cleaner. I don't believe the room should have been rented as it was so very unpleasant. The staff was very pleasant though and kind to us during our stay.

8.9

Not knowing about the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised when we saw our room for the price. The staff was very friendly, and helpful in their recommedation for dinner and where to go in Florence. The hotel is centrally located, so all sites are within walking distance. A wonderful hotel, I recommend highly, and will be sure and stay their again on my next visit to Florence.

1.6

A charmless hotel. Surly, unhelpful reception staff. Common areas and room did not match photos. A poorly furnished room with scruffy paintwork and an old fashioned, inadequate bathroom with plumbing which did not work properly. Poor value for money. This property has more of a feel of a backpackers' hostel than a hotel. Having travelled extensively in Italy, this is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in.

9.1

A lovely little hotel. Charming interior, wish we could have stayed in summer for breakfast on the terrace. A little bit of a walk into centre but certainly not enough to put me off booking again. Will always stay here in future.

10

A gem in the middle of Florence. Perfect location and a walking distance from all the sights. Highly recommended!

8.9

we had a great stay in Florence in Oct 2006, the hotel was great value, lovely and clean and located approx 10 minute walk from the main places. The character of the hotel added to the Italian experience for me and my 3 children. If I had to think of something negative the only thing I can think of was that there was no coffee making facilities in room and our bathroom was small compared to the other rooms, but not really a problem.

8.3

This is a very nice hotel, with some quirks from a American traveler's point of view. First, there was no box of facial tissues in the room. This is something I have never seen in any hotel. Indeed, this was the only hotel that we stayed in during our trip to Italy where there were no facial tissues. To me this was petty. Second, and just a bit quirky, was that there was no shower curtain in the bathtub. Taking a shower and keeping the rest of the bathroom dry was difficult. In fairness, I have seen this in other European hotels, but it seems silly. Thos quirks aside, the hotel has charm, and it is located in a great part of the city, near to the University and the Academia Gallery (David), and a 10-minute walk from the Duomo. Of course, since Florence is so small, nothing is far from anything in the city.

9.9

We made our reservations based on the great reviews on this site. And we are pleased to report that we had a wonderful stay! The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast was generous and the other dining recommendations from the staff were fantastic. We wish we had spent more time in Florence and at Orto de'Medici. We will certainly stay here again on our next visit. Thank you!!!

8.9

Was in Florence for a little under one week on business. Was a great hotel in terms of value and quality, however was not the best for the business traveler (no internet, a little far from the train station). Nonetheless would stay again if in Florence for vacation.

8.1

The location was great. It was an easy walk to the Academy and all the major sights. The hotel staff were helpful and offered good advice. The room was small but tidy and comfortable.

9.0

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour à "l'Orto di Medici ". L'hotel est très bien situé, proche des sites touristiques tout en étant à l'écart de la foule, rue très calme.Quelques bons restaurants à proximité proposant une cuisine typiquement Italienne. Le personnel est aimable et très serviable. Les chambres bien décorées sont spacieuses et disposent d'une grande salle de bain. Le petit déjeuner copieux peut être pris sur la terrasse au plus grand calme. C'est une bonne adresse que nous recommandons.

9.0

Excellent location and helpful staff. Far enough from tourist attractions to be quiet, and close enough for easy walking.

6.2

the window of my room watched a poor sight and the pillow of my bed was too much high and unconfortable.

8.5

The location was very convenient, the room was way above average with respect to size, both the bedroom and bathroom were huge (compared to several other cities), and overlooked a lovely courtyard (which we also availed ourselves of in the evenings for a quiet glass of wine!). The staff were quite polite as well. Breakfast was quite good, nice selection. Would certainly come back to this hotel.

9.6

Ask for room 41. It has a small terrance with a view. The breakfast was excellent. The location was excellent. Very close to most attractions. Around the corner from a major bus stop.

8.7

To whom it may concern of the Managementteam of the Orto de Medici hotel: I might have lost my ball point in my room ( I forgor my roomnumber). The pen was the former pen of my father so I am very sad to have lost it although I took special measures to prevent loosing it. It is a silver coloured Parker ballpoint. Could it be you have found it in my bedroom at the Orto de Medici hotel? Thanks for finding out. Greetings H.Derkx

8.5

The rooms are really OK. Try to get a room on the backside of the hotel, because the street could be a bit loud at night. If you travel by car, you should plan the route to the hotel with a city map (the one way streets are tricky). I recommend the car drivers to use the parking service, since the hotel has only one parking place for loading direct in front of the hotel. I recommend this hotel for all who want to explore all the sites of interest, because you could reach nearly everything on foot (The Cathedral in about 5 minutes).

9.0

I stayed in a quad with three other friends and we found the room large enough for all of us (a rare luxury in Italy). We also found the staff at the front desk very helpful, providing us with printouts of the information we needed. The breakfast room was pleasant and the food excellent.

8.9

Lovely hotel with a fabulous terrace bar where breakfast is served each morning. A tranquil oasis within the city.

9.9

We had a fabulous experience staying at this hotel. Our room with a terrace was incredibly worth the price, and the welcoming cocktail was very thoughtful. I would highly recommend this hotel!

10

Accueil très sympathique, professionnel et irréprochable. Chambre calme, raffinée et spacieuse. Hôtel idéalement situé à quelques pas du centre historique de Florence. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Une adresse à recommander à tous.

10

We had a fantastic stay in a double room with wetroom style shower in the bathroom. Could not fault this hotel: lovely classic Italian decor, great breakfast, quiet surroundings but still very central and the staff were all friendly and helpful. One evening we were served at the reception desk by the owner himself. Good value for a 3star hotel in Florence, we would strongly recommend it to anyone.

10

A great place to stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. Friendly employees.

7.7

Decent place (nothing extraordinary) but way too expensive for what it was offering. Definitely does not deserve the price paid. Plus the waitress was not very friendly when I asked for capuchino for breakfast rather than the regular coffee that they offered (the only place in our 2 week vacation where we saw unfriendly waitress). For the price of the hotel, at least I should have receved an excellent capuchino, rather than the capuchino which tastes horribly. Parking is offered for 21 euro, they come and pick up your car and return it when you need it. It was nice that we could leave our luggage at the hotel after we checked out while we were sightseeing the city.

8.7

Excellent location for seeing Firenze in a short period of time. Helpful staff and nice terrrace off of the first floor. We would stay at Orto de'Medici again and will highly recommend it to our friends.

9.9

We all loved this hotel, and would happily stay there again - or recommend it to our friends! The staff were terrific - we were a party of 9 which grew to be one of 11, and consequently had some complicated arrangements to sort out both before and on arrival. Can't praise the professionalism of the reception staff enough! They were helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The hotel facilities would have done credit to a 4 star - we especially loved the terrace, and not just for its historical associations. Being in the university quarter also gave us access to some good restaurants at very reasonable prices.

7.9

This is a lovely hotel, with friendly staff and within easy strolling distance of the main tourist attractions.

10

We had a quadroom (1 king and 2 double beds) on the top floor and were very pleased with size, cleanliness, and atmosphere of the room. Our room faced toward the Accademia (1 block from the hotel)and we could also see the Duomo. Breakfast was also very nice. Hotel is a few blocks outside of the tourist center, which we enjoyed (quieter and nice neighborhood). While we walked with our roller suitcases to the hotel from the train station, the Florence sidewalks are very narrow which makes this more of a chore than normal - consider a taxi if you have heavy bags.

10

nous avons passé trois nuits a l hotel : excellent a tous points de vue!!! nous envisageons de retourner a Florence à l'automne et nous reserverons a nouveau à l'Orto de Medici : chambre agréable,calme et spacieuse, avec balcon et superbe vue sur les toits ,dômes et campaniles,salle de bain très agréable avec grande fenêtre,propreté irréprochable,petit dejeuner à volonté avec un choix remarquable,accueil très agréable et souriant,règlement par carte bancaire accepté avec le sourire également . Idéalement placé dans le centre historique de Florence,à 10 minutes à pied de tous les monuments et musées mais aussi des restaurants . Le service de voiturier à l'arrivée et au départ est hautement appréciable,la voiture étant inutile et surtout pas recommandée vu le plan de circulation confus de Florence et la signalétique très approximative.Le parking privé est peut-être un peu cher,mais tellement plus sur.

10

very nice and confortable hotel. fantastic for our stay in florence. quality/price excellent.we enjoyed a lot there

9.9

I stayed here during same week I stayed at Morandi alla Crocetta, and found Orto de Medici to be a much better value (room size, breakfast included in price).

9.9

Orto de'Medici is a very agreeable hotel. The hotel staff is attentive and friendly. Friends from the US, Australia and Europe joined me in staying at this hotel. They all were very pleased with the location and accommodations. I was happy that it turned out well for everyone as I chose the hotel from Venere's web site. I will stay here whenever I am in Florence.

8.8

The rooms were comfortable and the water for showers was plentiful. each member of the family enjoyed different selections during breakfast. Staff was knowledgeable about directions for places we wanted to see.

9.8

Orto was a great hotel for the money. We had an inner facing room, which was very very quiet (slept great!). Couldn't tell we were next to the elevator. Good storage, Very nicely appointed bathroom (great shower - asked for shower, didn't need/want bath), very nice and helpful staff, very nice breakfast and breakfast room (they will make you eggs if you ask), and Florence is so small you can get anywhere from here in short time. We paid something like $170USD per night, if I recall. There is lobby, but who needs that? I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet place, and a good value.

10

Very pleasant staff that were very helpful. On a quiet street that is convenient to the major tourist attractions. Excellent breakfast. We would have like a second chair in the room as there are two of us.

8.8

We had a very pleasant stay. The quiet room was ideal for a rest after a long day on our feet in this splendid city. The location of the hotel is very good. We can certainly recommend this hotel as a relaxed place to stay in Florence.

10

We were so pleased with our stay here that we decided to return to Florence for our last two days in Italy and were disappointed when the hotel was booked and we couldn't return. Everyone was helpful and the room was clean and spacious.

9.6

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. PRO:The breakfast room and garden area were very nice, as was the assortment of food at breakfast. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We had two rooms, one of which was larger and had a recently remodeled bathroom. The location is convenient to most everything, especially the San Lorenzo market. CON: My only rant is for the other guests who felt it necessary to have loud cell phone conversations in the hallway outside my room, at 1am.

7.3

This is a lovely hotel situated in a good position within walking distance of the railway station,internet cafes, laundromat, nice restaurants and the wonderful sights of Florence. Our room was clean, comfortable and attractive, and had doors opening on to a balcony where we could sit and look at the Duomo and the terracotta roofs of Florence.

9.0

Very nice, modern rooms, decorated with style. Excellent bathroom with good shower. Very good breakfast with good, if not great, coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. The location is close to many of the major sites and interesting in its own right. The only quibble is that it is a bit expensive, but that is expected in the center of Florence.

3.8

We needed 2 rooms. Our son and his daughter had a huge room with a lot of space to put things,. We had a small room with no place to put anything. We couldn't even leave a toothbrush on the sink. No hook anywhere to hang anything. Both rooms were the same price. I did complain when we left and was told that our son's room was actually more expensive, but since it was available, he was isssued the room. My room was so uncomfortable that I would never stay ther e again.

9.9

The hotel was perfect in terms of location, comfort and hospitality. The service was exceptional, helping with dinner and museum reservations, car parking and gen info. We will be back.

8.1

I felt it was not worth the money. It was impossible to take a shower due to poor water pressure. The hotel is located about 10 min from San Lorenzo and about 20 min from Duomo. We did not mind walking, but there are a lot of other hotels, that are more centrally located.

10

Hotel Orto de Medici made our stay in Florence truly magical. Our room was excellent and a pleasure to stay in. Watching the sun set over the rooftops of Florence from our balcony remains one of our favourite memories. We would happily return tomorrow and have recommended the hotel to all our friends as a 'must stay here'.

8.8

In an excellent location one block from Piazza San Marco within easy walking distance of the Duomo. The triple was quiet and spacious. The halls have interesting Italian pieces. The English-speaking front desk staff made Airport Shuttle arrangements, car rental return, and wake-up calls a breeze. Nice patio deck area outside the beakfast room. Inviting reading/tv lounge with parquet floors and selection of books. Wonderful trattoria across the street where I had the best gorgonzola gnocchi of my entire stay. Two restaurants with outdoor seating as well on the same street. Would reccomend for it's central location, quiet, services, and good guest relations.

9.7

We enjoyed our stay at Orto de Medici. The room was spacious enough for three people and we enjoyed having a balcony to ourselves. Breakfast room was excellent. The staff was also very helpful. Only complaint would be with having the hotel make reservations at the Uffizi and Accademia Museums. They charged each of us a fee almost equal to the admission for the museum for making the reservations. $6.00 euros for a $6.50 admission (x3) I wished they would have mentioned this to us before making the reservations. However everything else was excellent.

7.2

I spent two days in this hotel and i think that its a very nice hotel, close to the center of Firenze so we could walk all the time and visit the most famous places; but the thing that i love most was the terrace of the room it was so beautiful!! I recommend this hotel to anyone!!

9.3

This is an elegant and spacious small hotel with friendly and helpful staff. It is within walking distance of everything you would want to see in Florence and of the station. It serves a good breakfast buffet (fruit juice, coffee, cereals, pastries, cold meats, cheese, bread) and has a lovely open-air terrace adjoining the dining room where you can have breakfast in the sunshine and possibly be greeted by a passing cat! We will certainly stay there next time we're in Florence.

9.9

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff was great and prior to our arrively quickly answere every email question we had which contributed to the wonderful expereince we had. We would deinitely recommend firends and family stay at this hotel. The only downside was we couldn't use an iron in the room however we overcame this issue and it didn't impact our stay

7.9

Everything the review said it would be. Excellent value,beautiful Florentian decor and furnishings. Very helpful staff. this hotel could not be bettered for the price. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

10

A superb hotel, ideal for a real rest from the city.

8.7

It is just slightly off the beaten path, but very easy to get to in a car. The valet parking was a bit expensive at 22 Euros a night. The room was very nice, and breakfast was superb in a patio eating area attached to the indoor serving area. I would definitely stay there again.

9.6

Hotel should be rated much higher than a 3 star. This is a great hotel with beautiful rooms. I had a very spacious single with air conditioning and a huge private bathroom. I cannot complain at all about the room. The room was also very quiet. The public areas are very nice. They have a terrace bar serving drinks in the evening. The breakfast is great and you can have it either in the dining room or on the roof top patio. Location is fine. Florence is very small and it was only a five minute walk to the Duomo. It's not right in the middle of things, but, this isn't such a bad thing, especially because you don't hear any street noise at night. Staff was very nice. My only complaint is that they didn't have internet access.

9.5

We enjoyed our stay at Orto de Medici in Firenze. Although it was very hot (38 C or 101 F) the aircondition worked quite well. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel is located 1/2 walk from the main downtown sites so bring your sneakers. Breakfast is rather poor but I believe this is what to expect in Italy.

9.5

This hotel is an excellent value in a nice area. It is run professionally yet friendly. It is rated three star yet it is closer to four even for a smallish hotel. The high ceilings and spacious room was very nice. The breakfast was more than adequate and nice on the terrace.

10

The Hotel Orto de'Medici is an elegant small hotel offering all the amenities. The staff was so friendly, efficient and most helpful. Their breakfast presentation on the terrace was excellent. I probably shouldn't say this, but I loved soaking in the bathtub after a long day of exploration, most relaxing. If location is everything, the Hotel has that also. It is located within a short walking distance of all the main sights and the train station. I highly recommend this hotel and would return there again in a heartbeat!!!

8.9

This was a great example of how boutique style hotels excel over their larger rivals. The hotel was simple but beautifully presented. The room was spacious and combined modern with a touch of the original. The room also had a balcony with a good view over the city. The breakfast area that included a large outdoor dining area was a gem and the choice and service first class. Location was equally good being close to the key attractions whilst providing a sanctuary of peace when the bustle of the city became too much.

9.7

A great location. A lovely charming independant hotel. I absolutely love their high ceilings and especially their courtyard. Cocktails in the later afternoon Tuscan summer! It is a stone's throw from the original 'David', which is a plus. Breakfast is basic, but it is true for almost all small Italian hotels. No internet except dial-up, which was a shame. A/C worked great, and the rooms were nice and quiet, even though ours was close to the breakfast room. Overall- highly Reccomended!

6.7

It was a decent hotel. Just good enough to stay and sleep for the nights. We paid $118 euros per night, should have been more like $80 for what you get because the breakfast was continental and the sitting areas are not the best. I'd get a better hotel for that price, there are so many in that area and you can start seeing the city from any part of the city, I recommend staying somewhere closer to the Gallery where the main attraction, statue of David, is.

9.9

The service is the hotel was so nice. They treated us as though we were the most imoortant guests they'd ever had. They truly made the trip special.

10

We had a quadruple room which was great. It was very large compared to rooms we had in other cities. The front desk was also very helpful. They prebooked tours for me per my request. The location was great , very close to the major attractions.

9.5

A real gem once inside. The nearby environs are not great but you are very close to the markets and the duomo. Accademia only two blocks! Good value and very helpful front desk staff.

9.0

Despite the large numbers of small/medium sized hotels in Florence, I wouldn't be looking to stop anywhere other than here on my next visit. Just how I hoped it would be.

10

We would happily stay again on our next trip. The location was great - a short walk from the centre - just enought to return to the quiet oasis of the hotel. we had a great room on the fourth floor with a balcony and bistro set - with a view of Duomo. The breakfast was outanding and offered on the terrace which was a perfect start to the morning. We asked the hotel to pre-book our museums and a dinner and they were very kind and efficient. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the Accademia to see the David statue. Enjoy!

9.0

Excellent choice for short (or longer) stay in Florence. Very good location, quiet street but close to Accedemia, only a few minutes walk to San Lorenzo, Duomo etc and surrounded by good restaurants, bars etc. Very welcoming and helpful staff, all facilities needed in room and Hotel and cool even in June heat!! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when returning to Florence.

9.0

Excellent location. Not quite center of city, but everything within walking distance. Breakfast room and food very good. Elevator small but workable. Enjoyed our stay very much.

10

Orto de Medici was a splendid surprise. Our room on the top floor was large, very attractive, quiet, and with great views. Staff were helpful, breakfast was fine, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat.

10

Charming and classy hotel. Elegant simplicity. Tastefull.Very good for the price and location. Lovely breakfast area and terrace. Very kind staff. Personal attention. Can be loud if you happen to have rude people in the room near but I would surely reccomend this hotel to anyone. After a long day walking in Florence it is nice to be able to have diner at one of the excellent restaurants right on the other side of the street and slide in bed right after !

10

From the time we booked in to the time we left,everything was perfect. the staff were great,room 40 brilliant and and the added bonus being that the hotel has a room available to store luggage after check out until you need it to go to the airport. if I had to be really "picky" I would say that the breakfast could have been more exciting. As regards location, about a 10min. walk from San Lorenzo,so not surrounded by noise. I slept like a trooper!

9.2

Hôtel très joli (dans une ancienne maison noble) et très bien situé. TB rapport qualité/prix. Accueil et service courtois et efficace. La salle de petit déjeuner est très agréable ainsi que le salon. Nous recommandons.

10

A splendid hotel, in terms both of comfort and convenience.

9.1

employees are friendly and nice!

9.5

Room good size. Fridge a definite advantage. ahower excellent. Good breakfast. Staff friendly, knowldgeable and very obliging. The Hotel is well placed for exploring the City.

10

I had read the Hotel Orto de'Medici guest reviews on this site prior to booking a room. Most were favorable if not excellent and still my expectations were exceeded. The hotel was immaculate, the staff friendly and helpful, the room spacious and comfortable. All in all, the Hotel Orto de'Medici has a lovely, generous feeling about it and I can't say enough good things about my visit there.

10

The Orto de'Medici was a wonderful place to stay -- easy walking distance to the central part of Florence, and a lovely little hotel. The staff was extremely helpful throughout our stay, helping us get settled and giving advice about the city. We would definitely stay there again!

9.2

It was nice. If going by car, it was very difficult to get there. But it was close to all of the attractions which made it very convenient. The breakfast was like any other breafast that they serve in hotels in Italy (Cold breakfast).

9.9

The woman working at the desk was incredibly friendly and helpful, and she spoke perfect English. The location was not crowded (in November) but very close to the Accademia museum and an easy walk to Uffizi and Arno river. The common room is very luxurious with a huge tv. I chose a single room, and it was small and cozy. The only challenge was the half-sized tub with no shower curtain, so I had to sit and aim the flexible shower head very carefully.

9.5

We stayed during off season and felt the room was reasonably priced. The rates for the same room during high season seem to be really high, however! We`d stay again during off season, but try to get a quieter room on the off-street side of the hotel. The location was very convenient and the service excellent!

9.2

Greeeeeat hotel, from the location, atmosphere, and staff, to restaurants, shopping, and Dumo every thing was fantastic. The hotel is very conveniently located near the train station (only 10 min walk) and every thing we needed to have around us. The breakfast was also very good, and the breakfast room, you just don’t want to leave, beautiful. All of us enjoyed the hotel orto de medici and we loved Florence, and yes we would definitely go back there again, no hesitation.

9.8

We loved our stay at hotel Orto de Medici. It's a beautiful hotel, located close to all the major attractions. The Duomo was within 5 minute walk and the Uffizi was a 10 minute walk. Our quadruple room was very spacious and the decor was warm and elegent. I loved the chandelier in our room. We were unable to get a room with a balcony, but our windows were large with a nice view overlooking the hotel's outdoor terrace and bar below. The hotel was quiet since it was located on a small street with little traffic. Breakfast in the morning was included in the room rate, and included a variety of pastries, bread, jam, fruit, cereal, juice and coffee. The staff was very helpful and courteous. They reserved tickets ahead of time for to the Uffizi and Galleria Del Accedemia (which helped us tremendously since we were able to walk right into the museum and avoid long lines). If I am in Florence again, I will definitely stay at this hotel. I would recommend this hotel without any hestiation.

9.5

A hotel of the first rate. Very familiar atmosphere (only 31 rooms), comfortable and a very good relationship between price and quality. The room (room nr.32) and the bathroom was very spacious and clean. The homepage pictures are corresponding with the reality. If you like quiet rooms ask for a room to the courtyard. Very nice breakfast room with terrace. Breakfast is very good. An excellent coffee, proscuitto, cheese, granola, etc... Opposed the hotel there is a good restaurant called Mimmo. Recommended. We will stay again in this hotel.
