Plaza Hotel Lucchesi - Florence

The location of the hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the city centre alongside the river Arno and therefore in a fairly quiet area. We booked a room with a balcony. The room was lovely and a good size but unfortunately the quality of the bathroom wasn't so good. The fittings were not of a high quality and showing signs of aging. The paint on the […] door and doorframe inside the bathroom was chipped in many places and the water pressure for the shower was weak. Breakfast was also a little bit disappointing. It consisted mainly of Italian style items such as sweet cakes along with some fruits, cereal, scrambled eggs & bacon. There was no bread selection & the coffee which was in a pot standing on the table for use by everyone was not good. It seemed that coffee, cappuccino etc could be ordered separately but no-one tells you this, it's only when you see other people having their cups brought to them that you find out. Overall, this is a nice hotel with very pleasant staff. However, if you book a room with a balcony then you are in for a treat because the view from our large balcony was fantastic - the Basilica of Santa Croce being in direct view, the Duomo to the left and the Tuscan hills in the distance to the right. Perfect for enjoying a nightcap at the end of a tiring day. Baca selanjutnya

This wasn't the most amazing hotel, but our location and view of the river made it really fantastic. The bathroom was a little older, but everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was great. Really easy to explore both sides of the river and our view from our balcony was fantastic! Would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Let me start by saying overall this hotel was satifactory. The rooms clean, the service good and breakfast was really good! You have to pay for wifi but thats no big deal. We had to go to the lobby to use it because the signal didnt reach our room but that was ok. We sat on their comfortable lobby area and sipped on wine. The place is definitely a […] landmark and it shows. Basically, the rooms are good for sleeping and showering but dont expect new amenities. Also, it can be a little loud on the weekend cuz of the college kids. Overall, its a good choice but I am sure there are othera just as good. Also, the staff was very helpful and most spoke either english or spanish. Baca selanjutnya

Staff extremely friendly and helpful and the concierge was excellent. It was fairly quiet but everywhere was immaculate and the restaurant was well laid out with excellent choice of food.

We had a great stay here for a special break without our young children. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty (especially the bacon and ham), the staff very helpful and we were very pleased with our room (not too chintzy!) that looked out over the river. I wished we'd packed our travel kettle as, being English, I like a cup of tea (!) and there wasn't […] facilities for this in the room (though they did provide tea as room service). Baca selanjutnya

Fantastic...we stopped in Florence on our way to Rome for a night with no hotel reservation. My wife had to use a bathroom, the first hotel refused to let her use the bathroom, the second one did not say anything, we were very impressed with the lobby and the air conditioning, we assumed it was going to be way to expensive... so we asked if they had […] any rooms and they did.

I don't think this is a 4 star hotel: small room, very old tv, very average bathroom, only instant coffee in the breakfast buffet, only pork meat in the breakfast.

Wireless was close to useless, extremely slow and not reliable. If you need it, dont stay here. If you dont care, hotel was otherwise fine (if you dont mind faded rugs and old lobby furniture). Staff was quite pleasant. We liked proximity to other side of river

Right from the moment we arrived the staff were so friendly - we were shown to our rooms and treated very well. The restaurant had a very good selection of foods for all tastes and the comfort in the hotel was superb. Only one bad point - the surly barman who kept us waiting around 20 minutes (far longer than I would have waited had I been travelling […] on my own) - he really let the side down and we stopped using the bar after that and went elsewhere. The hotel is right on the banks of the Arno and commands a beutiful view of the hills and opposite side of the Arno - it was so lovely to wake up open thecurtains and shutters and see the sun shining on such a beautiful place. Situated about 5 minutes maximum on foot and adjacent to the Uffizi Gallery, and many of the attractions it is an ideal hotel for those who are having a quiet break in Florence. Baca selanjutnya

After a great experience in our Rome hotel, we expected similar in Florence and were not disappointed. Pulling up to the Hotel Lucchesi - directly across the street from the Arno River - we were impressed. We arrived prior to check in time and waited only 10 minutes - in a very comfortable sitting area/lobby - and were promptly guided to our room by […] the hotel concierge. The hotel was decorated fashionably - though not contemporary - with soft hues and inviting couches. Though expected, our room did not overlook the river but rather a residental street and had views of a beautiful bell tower (and yes, it rang regularly during the day!). This gave us a very quiet night's sleep - and only 2 floors up! The bedding was very cozy, the pillows perfect (for me), but the mattress was extremely firm - and too firm for this couple. Though at the "border" of the Florence downtown area, this location was an easy walk to all key locations and attractions - 10 minutes from the Uffizi, 2 minutes from the National Library, 10 minutes to the Duomo and a quick jaunt over the bridge (while jewelry shopping of course!). We utilized the concierge here to book a walking tour and a 4 course Tuscan cooking class (fabulous!). They were extremely kind and had great command of the English language. All in all a very positive experience and one that we will look to repeat! Baca selanjutnya

Great hotel. Great location. Both city view and river view are nice. Room 422 is small but has a patio with a view of Duomo. 300's city views are nice, but 200's would be too low and wouldn't be able to view over the facing buildings. Breakfast is nothing special, but it was included, so I was happy. Will stay again - great option in Florence.

Everything at the Plaza Lucchesi was great EXCEPT the internet! It is so weird that this hotel doesn't fix that. I read many reviews from people complaining about the slowest internet connection and they are right. It was absolutely frustrating to wait 2-3 minutes for every page to load. Seems like such an easy thing to fix (get more bandwidth, I suspect […] they have limited bandwidth). Arrrg, soooo frustrating, when you travel with someone who needs the internet too, and you are both tearing your hair out because of the slowness. Sometimes not loading AT ALL. Baca selanjutnya

The location of this hotel is great for all the small and good restaurants around the district of Santa Croche. We booked a superior room - which had a lovely view to the river but was rather small room. We probably expected more from a "superior" room. The staff was very friendly.

Florence is not that big but even so you need to be close to the centre. the luchesi is in santa croce which is good facing the river and not far from the Ponte vecchio, uffizi gallery etc. service is great, breakfast quite good, room sizes excellent, decor good, reception reasonable, excellent public spaces. no brown or wholegrain bread in hotel […] (or in Florence in general) we called a taxi and it came in 5 minutes - they can be diifcult to find in florence esp the Station. would recommend buying the Firenze Card, not cheap but beats the queues, watch out for Monday most museums are closed. great bar Volume in Piazza Santo Spirito and of course Cibreo, try the new theatro cibreo for something different mark, london Baca selanjutnya

I would personally recommend this hotel for its location and service. The front desk was helpful with any questions. The bartenders in the bar were friendly. It was clean and the location was super convenient for us. My husband only had issue with the shower which he said had low water pressure and the bathtub which was scooped on the bottom so it was […] uncomfortable to stand in. I took a bath so I didn't experience this issue. The other issue we had was waking with random bug bites on our bodies. I'm not familiar with bedbugs so I don't know if that was the cause. It was a little disturbing but we were only there for three nights so we didn't investigate it any further. The breakfast in the morning was adequate enough to start your day and hold you over until lunch. We did not have dinner there but it seemed a viable option if the need did arise. If I ever had to go back to Florence, I wouldn't mind staying there again. Baca selanjutnya

Booked 3 days before check in date due to a sudden change in plans and both my husband and I were very pleasantly surgprised. I have been to Florence on numerous occassions over the years and while this hotel is just a "bit" out of the hustle and bustle (and more importantly shopping!), this could also be one of its better assets. Could walk to the […] Ponte Vecchio in 10 minutes by turning right out the front door and following the river. Beautiful room with balcony (419) with the BEST view of the city I have ever had (and I've been to much more expensive hotels than this one). The Santa Croce neighborhood has some of the best trattorias and wine bars and its just steps from the hotel. The breakfast was OK but lousy cappuccino (no excuse here!). You can see that this was a very elegant hotel in its day and the decor has not changed in style much, but overall a clean, spacious hotel that I would return to again. Great value. Baca selanjutnya

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.

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.

We loved our stay here. The room was beautiful with a soaring ceiling which made the already good sized room feel even more spacious. The hotel staff was spot on; always charming and helpful. It was the kind of place that you immediately felt at home in; very comfortable. A lot of older American and European tourists which meant that it was very quiet […] in the evenings, yay! The best part? The fabulous breakfast that was included. I didn't realize that was included, and boy, what a wonderful surprise! Yummy meats, pastries, fruit, and even champagne! Very nice treat! The only slight downside was that it was a bit of a walk from a lot of the main tourist areas and train station but a good opportunity to walk off the aforementioned breakfast and all the pasta we ate! Loved it! Baca selanjutnya
