Awesome location

This hotel is in a awesome location. Your stay here will be a good one. I can promise you that! The staff was very helpful. The rooms were very clean and very well maintained. Offseason tip...do not purchase your reservations to the museums through the hotel. Just get to the museum early enough to beat the lines and save the hotels reservation fee. The breakfast here was a very good - the view from the restaurant was just awesome. You will enjoy your stay here. The hotels is a very close walk to the train station. Enjoy, we did.

First trip to Florence

This may be a biased review because we had one of the best rooms in the hotel. High up and on the back side facing the Medici Chapel dome, it was quiet and had a nice private balcony. During our week long stay, the staff were very helpful and always available. The breakfast on the terrace was great with a nice view of the Duomo and great cappuccino! The large room and bathroom were kept spotless. We also enjoyed having the in-room coffee maker for a pick me up after walking the magnificent city that is Firenze. We highly recommend the Hotel Laurus.

Room Comfort

This hotel is a typical European hotel, small, clean and no frills. The negative was the pillows which were thin and hard as concrete The location of the hotel was great, just down the street from the Duomo which you could see from the rooms and roof top dining area

Location, Location, Location!

If you want to see Florence, this location is right at its heart. We walked everywhere from the hotel. The hotel and the room were very clean and the staff was courteous. Parking is offsite, but reasonable. You park in front and the hotel contacts the company to get your car. (Definitely need a GPS is you are driving.) Many good restaurants in the area.
