Hotel Orto de’ Medici

Hotel Orto de’ Medici

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel overall, especially because of its convenient location and the very pleasant and helpful staff. The buffet breakfast offered a great selection, with plenty of choices to start the day. We stayed in a Junior Suite with four adults, and the room was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably, which was a definite plus. There were, however, a couple of disappointments. Unfortunately, the bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. We also noticed that the hotel advertises a bottle of sparkling wine daily. Since we stayed for four nights, we expected this amenity to be replenished, but we received only one bottle during our entire stay. After we enjoyed the bottle, it was left in the ice container, where the ice eventually melted, and it was never replenished or removed. Overall, the location, breakfast, spacious suite, and wonderful staff were definite positives. With a little more attention to the comfort of the beds and the follow-through on advertised amenities, this could have been an excellent stay."

"A very comfortable bed although the bedroom was basic. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were helpful. Just 5 minutes from the station. Loved the roof top bar (one of the reasons for choosing this hotel) but a little on the expensive side. Great location for visiting the sites of Florence."
