Quality and Class. Perfect Location

Just an overnight stay but enough time to experience the quality & magical ambiance that this majestic hotel exudes. The service and help from the front desk was equally impressive. From its historical aspect this hotel was what you imagined the great hotels in history would be like.
From it's solid feel, ornate ceilings & walls and great noise suppression in the rooms, to it's perfect location within the old part of Florence and quite good value, this hotel was a total joy to stay in.
The only disappointing note is learning that the hotel is due for a major modernisation/refurbishment which might mean the loss of its wonderful historic feel.

Granted this is rated only 2 stars so I did not expect much but went for location as well as price. However, it was much worse than I could have imagined. The room was very dirty and was never cleaned in spite of my complaints. The bed was awful, shaped like a canoe & soggy. They claim Raffaello stayed here. I think we got his bed. You take 2 tiny elevators to get to your room. Hotel is very noisey and side street noise all night long. Staff not helpful and gave us wrong directions to local travel agency. 5 Euro breakfast OK, but that's about all. Location not a factor since Florence is not that big a city.

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.

Great choice for Florence stay
-
Leesha
- Oct 19, 2011
I researched many hotels before deciding on this one to stay a week in Florence. It turned out to be a great choice. First of all the location was great. It is a short walk down river from Ponte Vecchio. Always a great view. This made it easy to visit activities on both sides of the Arno. I recommend walking up to the Piazzale Michelangelo when you first get there while you have the energy and to give you a great overview of the city. We were there Oct 9-16. We lucked out on perfect weather.
We took a taxi to the hotel from the airport which took about 20 minutes. It cost 25 euros, a little more since it was Sunday. At the Berchielli, the staff is excellent. This includes front desk, breakfast and daily maid service. We booked the basic room so was pleasantly surprised to get a nice room on the 5th floor with a terrace overlooking the courtyard. This was fine because we wanted it to be quiet with an inside room and it was. You do hear a church bell but it just made it more charming. The room configurations are all different. Ours included a desk and small stocked minibar with enough room for our own bottle of water. The bed was on the firm side but surprisingly comfortable. We slept well. The bathroom was clean with a shower/bathtub combo. If you like lotion or hair conditioner, bring your own. I thought the blow dryer worked well.
One reason I decided to stay here was because it had a full buffet breakfast. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, thin pancakes, rolls, bread you could toast, pastries, whole and cut-up fresh fruit, yogurt, custard, cereals, cheese, juices, ice, coffees and tea. I like a big breakfast so I don't need to worry about a big lunch and instead use the time to visit the museums and sights. I didn't find anywhere special to recommend for dinner but it was all fairly good with similar offerings.
We took a bus tour to Siena and San Gimingano one day and would recommend that. We also took a bus tour one afternoon to Pisa which I enjoyed but wish I had time to see more on both tours we found on the internet. I couldn't imagine some of these places in the heat and crowds of summer since I thought it was fairly crowded most places we went. Expect lines at the Uffizi and Accademia which we got reserved tickets ahead of time. Also there can be lines at the Duomo both to go inside and to climb up to the top of the cupola for amazing views. May not be good for those afraid of heights or claustraphobic. Plan on going to the Cathedral's museum to learn about what it was supposed to look like. Try and catch a guide for better understanding. Visit the Piazzas especially della Signoria with the Loggia dei Lanzi. We really visited most museums and churches that were recommended by quide books. Something to appreciate and learn in them all.
Plan on visiting the Pitti Palace and take plenty of time to see all the exhibits and gardens. There is always more to see at museums that you think. Prices may seem high for some but it's part of the experience. We also took a train to visit Lucca. Love exploring little Tuscan towns. Do your research and plan wisely so you can see all you want as well as take in the beauty and charm of the area like sunset on the bridges, eating gelato and enjoying evening walks. The city is well lit-up at night. It is full of every high-end name brand store. Plan to have enough Euros on you since most museums just take cash. Also be prepared that the museums don't allow photos to be taken and are well watched. I think so you have to buy the books. Be stealthy. This is a wonderful hotel and place to visit especially if you appreciate art, architecture and history. Yes, there can be mosquitoes so be prepared if you are not covered up.

What a Fabulous Suite!

Walkin' Duo
- May 21, 2011
Our corner suite on the top floor was across the street from the Duomo, Campanile and Baptistry, and had magnificent views! We could not believe such a perfect setting and accommodation - especially at such a reasonable price. The bedroom was huge, bathroom large and clean, and the kitchen/dinette/sitting area was delightful. We wished that we could have stayed there longer - the cathedral bells almost right outside the window were an added enchantment. We went up into the "innards" of the Duomo at 8:30 a.m. to avoid the crowds, and it was absolutely incredible.
We walked from the Palazzo Gamba suite easily to all of the sites - Uffizi Gallery, Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, etc., and then returned happily to our "Room with a View." Not many apartments/suites, so you should reserve well in advance if possible (we reserved ours 11 months in advance)! Loved our stay there.

When I walked up to the hotel, I was thinking that I had made a big mistake. I needed a place to stay just for the evening that wasn't too far from the train station. I was pleasantly surprised.
The interior was much better than the outside. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. My room was comfortable complete with a safe and refrigerator. Unlike other rooms that I have had in Italy, I appreciated having a shower with full shower curtain. The floors are tile and were clean.
Breakfast was hearty with the traditional breads, cold cuts and cheese. Ordered a cappuccino which was far better than the "American coffee".
The location was fantastic. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the train station, 1 minute to the markets and the Basilica San Lorenzo, and 10 minutes max to the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery.

We had a very nice stay @ this hotel. We stayed with our 14 yr old daughter in a 'triple'. The room was very clean. The breakfast was great with a big variety of options, including fresh fruit, yogurt, cold cuts, hard boiled eggs, rolls, croissants, 3 - 4 different pastries, rolls, and breads. The location is ideal; within walking distance to The Academia, The Uffizi, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, the open market, the leather market, etc. much shopping and many many restaurants. We walked everywhere all week, never took a cab. My parents will be visiting the same area in the Spring and will be staying at the same hotel.

When we got there around 8:00, there was no one there so we had to call the cell phone of the manager and it took him a half an hour to get there and let us in. But, we had dinner by the Duomo while waiting so it was all good. The hotel is in a really old building and you have to walk up a number of stairs. But, the room had air conditioning, it was really cool and stylish and a great deal for an unbelievable location. Our bathroom was down the hall but robes were provided and it was no problem.

Very nice, very clean, large room with a hand painted fresco style ceiling. Modern bath room but unfortunately is was down the hall. Each room gets it's own private bath but it not co located. Now the bad part. It's on the 4th floor and their is no lift. 78 steps to the top with your luggage. It was hard with out the luggage. Check-in is 2 PM. If you show up at anytime prior no one will be there to store your luggage until the manager shows up. Late check in must be arranged because after about 4:30 PM I could never find anyone that worked there. The Guest house is in a perfect location for walking to all the tourist sights and the train station.

We had a wonderful stay for 4 nights during our honeymoon in Italy. We stayed at some pretty nice places throughout our trip, but this was by far our favorite! The location is perfect- very central to most everything, but located on a relatively quiet section of the street. The room was very clean and pretty spacious (especially for european standards). One thing worth mentioning is the beds in Italy tend to be on the hard/firm side, and it took us some getting adjusted to--not the case with NH Porta Rossa--finally a comfortable bed! The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful- particularly Minea and Andreas. They booked our Uffizi gallery tickets, made several dinner reservations for us, etc. Also, I emailed them a week before our arrival to let them know I am allergic to down feathers and they made sure the room was feather free (sounds simple enough, but was not done at other expensive hotels!) They also gave us a complimentary upgrade for our honeymoon from a superior room to a deluxe room, which was an added bonus. Huge selection at breakfast, which was pretty good. There is also free wi-fi in the lobby sitting area - would've been nice to have in the room, but not really a big deal. All, in all, we HIGHLY recommend this hotel, and would definitely stay here if we go back!

We loved our stay at this hotel. It is centrally located, very nice spotless room which we were able to upgrade for a room right on the square with a view of the Duomo for only 30 Euros extra.

The hotel is conveniently located down a side street from the main train station. <10 minutes by foot to the train station and <20 to the Uffizi. It was easy to get to night-life scenes by foot in San Croce, but it was also far enough away from the Florence mayhem that one could get a good night's sleep!
The Eco-friendly hotel was spotless, and the staff were simply wonderful, rates were reasonable, and they even had an Ubuntu Linux terminal available for people who didn't bring a laptop to use internet (for a small fee).
The ONLY disappointment was the bathroom. It was very compact, consisting of a toilet, bidet, and sink. There was no tub, and not even a real shower, but a shower fixture hung above the toilet with a small drain just below. Worse, a small tilt in the floor made the drain not very effective during and after use. We checked in late at night found it required practice to not flood the entire bathroom after a short shower, but the staff was perfectly happy to mop up the floor late at night before we discovered a technique. Maybe that's their ploy for everyone to conserve more water!
All in all it was quite a nice place to stay.

We loved the views from the garden terrace; I believe we were lucky enough to get the only room that opened onto the terrace as well! We were away from the street side so it was incredibly quiet as well. The common space was gorgeously retro, and we enjoyed coffee and wine in the bar throughout the day. Although we were told we would have to pay for internet access we had a bit of trouble accessing it and especially logging off of it, so the charge never appeared on our bill. In fact, on departure, the only charges we received totalled 11 euro, including 2 glasses of wine for 3 each while we waited for our room to be cleaned (we arrived earlier than expected) and 5 for corkage when we opened our own bottle on the terrace! The included breakfast was ample & fabulous, including endless free cappucini, with foam so stiff you had to eat it with a spoon!

Stayed at this hotel with my family and it is a very nice hotel, but the air con was not working correctly and there were a number of power cuts in the night. When the power comes on all the lights in the room switch on automatically which was a little annoying. This was not the fault of the hotel but the air con was and I felt the hotel could have made a gesture in terms of the room rate. Furthermore, €30 for overnight parking was over priced and the breakfast room was very congested in the morning with people having to wait for tables. Nice hotel, but I would probably avoid in August or peak times.

The hotel is beautiful and well-located and we had a gorgeous room on the arno, big, spacious, well-appointed with bathrobes etc. There is beautiful roof deck bar with great views too, and the front desk was always wonderful and helpful.
Two cons:
1. They charge for internet! That's a ripoff.
2. Breakfast was disappointing. Room was hot and noisy and service is slow -- coffee doesn't come till you are done eating, frequently they are out of eggs or glasses. Need more staff.
Otherwise, fabulous!

An Old World Gem

This Hotel is an old world gem. The staff was great. At first they put us in a room too far away from the center of the hotel, and when asked about a change, they did it right away and sent someone to help. The location is grewat, near the RR station, with access to all public transport. And it is located near everything you want to see in Florence

Perfect location

This hotel is located on the Via Calzaiuoli, which is the main shopping street in downtown Florence. It is almost equidistant from the Duomo and the Piazza della Signoria (each are about a two-minute walk) and literally right next door to "COIN", which is the leading department store in Florence. It is also only a block away from the Piazza della Republica, a favorite spot to dine for American tourists. The breakfast is superb with wonderful service from two quite gracious women; if you are there off season, you are likely to hear four or five different languages from the clientele, who are mostly staying in Florence on business trips. There is virtually no noise in the hotel, since it is in the pedestrian area of the inner city, where no auto traffic is allowed. Highly recommend this hotel; if we return to Florence, it will undoubtedly receive our business once again.

This is an excellent hotel at a great price. I stayed a week as I tried to see every museum and church in Florence. I plan to stay there again.
It would be impossible to find a better location. This hotel is at the very center of the historic district. Great restaurants at all price ranges are within a few blocks.
The staff is friendly, responsive and professional. Breakfast, served in a pretty room, is substantial.
Via Calzaiuoli is a busy pedestrian street, exciting but noisy. Service trucks come early in the morning---and church bells ring in the Duomo Campanile. I requested a front room because I wanted to watch the street traffic. The inner shutters blocked out most of the noise but I still needed ear plugs.
On my next visit I will request a quieter room in the back of the hotel. The views are pleasant and the rooms are slightly larger.
The hotel is small and the rooms are small. There is a small library but no lobby.

THE best location in Florence!

- Aug 30, 2010
If you want the absolutely best location in Florence, the Hermitage Hotel is it! This hotel is definitely a little known gem since the cab driver had to ask the policemen on the corner near Ponte Vecchio where it was, and they didn't even know, even though they were only 10 yards from it! After getting past the check-in procedure, which was a little awkward being on the 5th floor, we got into our room and fell in love with the cute antique furniture, the great view of the street (Ponte Vecchio was blocked out by the Corridoio Vasariano), and the awesome bathroom with a huge jacuzzi tub! This was all great compared to typical European rooms. The view from the rooftop veranda was spectacular! The hotel is nice and secure at night with two locked doors, and a security code to enter the elevator. We always felt safe. The only disappointment really was the limited breakfast offering they had. This is not a 5-star hotel, but it is a great deal for the cost, and in a great location, if I haven't mentioned that yet. We will plan to stay here again when we return to Florence!

I loved this hotel! It is perfectly located in front of the Ponte Vecchio. The hotel is a typical small Italian hotel, the atmosphere is cozy and very welcoming. It was quiet and peaceful and the staff was very helpful. The perfect hotel to stay in if you're visiting Florence.
