Orto De Medici Hotel, Florence

Clean, wonderful staff and close proximity to Florence attractions made for a relaxed and enjoyable trip for first time visitors. Very affordable. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay here! We booked it without knowing anything about Florence and hoped for the best. We were so surprised to find out we were only a few minutes walk from the Accademia and the Duomo! This hotel is in walking distance of everything, even the train station if you don't mind a 15 minute walk. The staff was friendly and the breakfasts were great. The bed was comfortable, the room had air conditioning that actually worked and we could control, the floor had old tile but that was part of the charm of this older building.

Room was very large and modern snd clean. The public space was generous and lovely, both inside and beautiful breakfast terrace. The staff was helpful. The location perfect for seeing all the Firenze sights. I would recommend it to all.

We loved our stay at the Orto de Medici. The hotel is beautiful and clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located near the University of Florence, so there were several reasonably-priced restaurants and cafes nearby. We booked the junior suite, which is quite spacious and was very comfortable for three people. However, the shower door is glass and so are the walls surrounding the sink and the area outside of the shower. We wanted a bit more privacy, so the staff gave us bedsheets to drape over the glass walls, and the issue was resolved.

Generally good hotel and a good location, 5 min walk to Academy (with David) and to St Marco. Rooms were in a good condition and recently renovated. Good free breakfast However, in the room were couple transparent glass walls - rather confusing at night. We have to put towels over them to make them visible.
