First time here was 12 years ago..was wonderful. This time, hair on bed and in bathroom upon checkin (not mine)! Room very dated, carpets worn, furniture in poor shape, television tiny. This hotel needs to be updated. Lobby drab, breakfast mediocre. Location is excellent though. Seems to be catering to large bus groups . Personnel at hotel were fine.

Honestly, I agree with every bad review written concerning this awful hotel, and its really too bad that I've read them all a little too late. The Hotel staff is very rude, and aggressive, especially the asian receptionist and older italian man with the glasses. Every sentence that came out of her mouth started with the word "Unfortunately". "Unfortunately you... More

This is definitely a 4 star hotel. Great accommodations(clean, nicely decorated, comfortable) and very friendly, helpful and professional staff. Excellent breakfast buffet(European style of course) and the location on the river was not only beautiful but convenient also. We walked everywhere from this hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

I will start off by saying I'm quite baffled by all of mediocre or poor reviews. We absolutely loved staying here and actually thought the hotel felt like a 5 star. The entire staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and were taken care of at all times including scheduling tours... More

The Plaza Hotel Lucchesi is one of the nicest hotels in which we have stayed. From our initial welcome, to our goodbye, the front desk staff made us feel special. They were very helpful making dinner reservations and pointing out directions and points of interest on a map they provided at checkin. We arrived at about 6 pm and our... More

The hotel is a great location, our room was wonderful with a view of the Duomo, breakfast was the best we had and the service was great. The downside was the terrible wifi which was slow and problematic (2 out of 5 stars). Recommend you stay!

Dated hotel. Clean , everything has an antique feel as I don't think anything has been replaced since inception. Bathroom decor and colour scheme straight Out of a 70s psychiatric ward , with the water presure in the bath /shower about as powerful as spittle. Aircon unit should be called a fan unit and we had the dubious honour of... More

Overall the location and public areas of this hotel deserve 5 stars. Unfortunately I stayed in a single room and it was below the standard of the rest of the hotel. No magnifying mirror as stated in room details and the hairdryer was of very poor quality, the shower cubicle was claustrophobic. The bed and linen was very good and... More

We stayed here for 3 nights with a child and a toddler in a superior triple room with a view - and we absolutely loved it! The large window opens up where you can see Santa Croce, the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio - just a beautiful way of seeing Florence upon waking up or before going to bed. The breakfast... More
