Hotel Orto de' Medici

The hotel and reception staff were excellent. The hotel is positioned in the perfect place to visit all the main attractions. The breakfast was fine, the staff could have been more welcoming and should ask if you want tea, coffee etc on arrival. They was trying very hard not ask you if you would like a drink and lots of people had to prompt them. Other people came in from a different parts of the world (maybe from their culture) and they was asked straight away what they would like. So sorry to say not equal. Otherwise the breakfast was very good.

Was very nice and clean

They did a wonderful job renovating the rooms. I liked the black and white photos of statues and famous buildings in the room and common areas. The decor is very chic and the bed is comfortable. Nice and quiet room for a good night’s sleep. Receptionist to the waitress at breakfast and even the maids are all super friendly. Makes for a very welcoming feeling. As in past reviews, breakfast is very good. Breakfast served in a nice sunroom /patio area. They have a nice selection of deli meats: ham, mortadella, salami, cheeses, small mozzarella cheese balls, and wonderful small tomatoes. There are boiled and scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh bread, rolls, croissants, cakes, and pies. For the healthy people, fresh whole fruit, yogurt, nuts, and fresh squeezed juice. A variety of coffees and teas brought to your table. Our waitress even brought our cappuccino over where she made a smiley face in the foam. Made it to breakfast every single day. Easy walking distance to the Duomo or Uffizi. Carrefour market and laundry 1-2 blocks away. Overall, a super pleasant stay in Florence.

Lovely hotel with lovely staff. We spent 4 glorious nights here. Francesco and the ladies were most helpful from the moment of arrival to checkout. The breakfast staff were equally as helpful and packed us a complete "to-go" breakfast for the next day as we had to set off for an early morning tour. This hotel was well rated in one of my Italy tour guides from 2004 and I happened to book this hotel not knowing that! It has lived up to its reputation and is a true gem. There is also a lovely family run Trattoria San Gallo just 100 metres away. The owner Emanuela is very friendly, great food with good price performance and has a lovely puppy! Thank you Hotel De' Orto Medici

We loved this hotel! It seemed a very good value. We had a triple room, I think, that was very spacious. Loved the big window, even without a view, and high ceilings. Great shower! Great location, walkable to all sites without being in the crowd crush. The breakfast was wonderful, serve yourself buffet that included fruit,pastries, hot items, dry cereal, meats and cheese, bread and pancakes to toast, yoghurt,etc, and a nice bright indoor/0utdoor breakfast room. Good communication and recommendations before our stay. Staff super nice at desk and in breakfast room. It even has a little history. Highly recommend!
