Portrait Firenze - Lungarno Collection

Florence Historic Center Florence|0.1km from Ponte Vecchio
Can be described as perfect. Three nights in Florence, 2 nights PORTRAIT, 1 night to experience the four seasons, compare the two hotels, give the following suggestions: 1) Service: Say service first, personal feeling, PORTRAIT service is more cordial and enthusiastic. There is WELCOME DRINK at the door, with beer and red wine and other drinks. There is a doorman from Russia who is very enthusiastic and can really describe himself as a guest. CHECK IN is not the front desk of the hotel. It is a large living room. When guests sit on the sofa, there will be service personnel to go through the formalities. If you leave, you will also ask if you want to bring bottled water. Four seasons, no one can say bad, but it is very standard and professional, but there is no temperature. PORTRAIT won. 2) Location: The four seasons are far from the attractions, but not far away. The distance cannot be said to be a weak item. The hotel has a garden, but it is not very big, but it is okay (refer to the size of Shanghai Garden Hotel). Moreover, mainly, the garden layout is not very special. PORTRAIT is on the edge of the old bridge, the most central location, everything is convenient. PORTRAIT won. 3) Price: Four seasons more than 7900 35M2, no early; PORTRAIT 4500 one night / 4900 one night, 40M2, but the hotel gave me a rise, lived 53 room type, including 2 early. PORTRAIT won again. 4) Room decoration: the room, the four seasons are European style, or the law-abiding; PORTRAIT is more modern, also comes with a simple kitchen cabinet, you can eat yourself. Personally, the style is like PORTRAIT. 2 bedding products are good. 5) Four seasons, because the price is much more expensive, my heart naturally demands him. Service I scored 4 points because it was not special and the price was not good. The Michelin-starred PALAGIO restaurant has also tried, and can only say that it is okay, not surprising, and quite satisfactory. Dinner is not eaten at PORTRAIT, the hotel people will ask you if you like to eat, and will also recommend local good restaurants and help guests book. 6) Four seasons should be expensive in many additions? For example, I saw that there is still a hairdressing. It is estimated that the SPA is also very good, but it is not used. In addition, there are swimming pools in the four seasons, but it is not big or open. PORTRAIT does not have a swimming pool. Recommend PORTRAIT. The above hopes have a reference to later people.
Hotel La Gemma

Hotel La Gemma

Florence Historic Center Florence|0.32km from Ponte Vecchio
When we arrived at Hotel La Gemma, it had been opened a grand total of 15 days. But no one could tell because Gianluca, the Hotel Manager, was in charge and everything was already in full swing and running smoothly. Gianluca himself showed us to our suite and made us feel welcomed. He was warm, engaging and very helpful throughout our 3-night stay. He even showed me how to make the stamps stick on my postcard by gently peeling off the back of them - they were adhesive like stickers. Before Gianluca came to the rescue, I was licking the back of the stamps like a fast-melting gelato but they still wouldn't stick. Gianluca also patiently walked me through the Tren Italia website to book our train tickets to Venice - all on my mobile phone. Eduardo at the Front Desk was earnest, lively and of great assistance. At breakfast, Luca the waiter was very good at explaining the extensive menu and choices available. He was solicitous and anticipated our needs. We missed him when he was not on duty. The hotel’s location is excellent, right in the heart of Florence and a stone’s throw from the Post Office. It is a very short walk to Piazza Republica, Ponte Vecchio and the beautiful landscape of the River Arno. The rooms are very well-appointed; huge comfy beds with fluffy pillows, a wide array of fragrant toiletries and, thick body-encompassing towels. The impression is one of old-world sophistication and luxury. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to Hotel La Gemma.

B&B Hotel Firenze Pitti Palace Al Ponte Vecchio
4.4/5111 Reviews
Florence Historic Center
Beds were very comfortable junior suite nice sized. King bed and single bed in a separate area - bathroom in between. The bathroom was nice sized and very well appointed. Shower over the bath and was powerful The only down side in the bathroom was the shower door - it is very short so it didn’t prevent the water going onto the floor. On the first nights - no tissues in the bathroom bed not dressed properly but - saw housekeeping supervisor on duty the following day - different level of room servicing - the sheets changed, tissues in the bathroom, plenty of towels etc. plenty of shower gels/ shampoos and body lotions every day. Such a difference when supervised Breakfast was basic enough with hot scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and toast. 3 cereals, 3 cakes, and 3 types of croissants 3 juices and 2 T/coffee machines. Plenty of condiments available. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant
Hotel Hermitage
4.2/573 Reviews
Florence Historic Center
The “bathroom” in our room is a 3 by 5 closet with toilet, sink, and shower. Super cramped. No sudden movements allowed. The water in the shower doesn’t get hotter than lukewarm and runs at a low flow rate. Very small bars of cheap soap. No conditioner. The last time the bathroom was updated: sometime in the 20th century. Our room was quite small and with old furniture. Minuscule TV. Beds ok but basic. Clean. Lots of noise throughout the hotel, from the restaurant upstairs (stops at 11:30pm) and from all directions until the last guest is asleep. No ground floor entrance. That’s means that you have to carry all your luggage up a steep set of stairs to the second floor where you will pile into a tiny elevator — once it comes. Breakfast ok. Eggs were dry. Condiments and champagne were provided upon request. Overall friendly staff. Fantastic location. Fantastic location.

Hotel Continentale - Lungarno Collection
4.5/549 Reviews

The room was really good, the best hotel in the French Riviera. Service attitude is very good, especially enthusiastic, upgraded the room on the sixth floor, with river view and platform view, went out for breakfast, took a lot of photos, breakfast is too little, yogurt added money. In addition, the room is a pure white style, especially romantic, the bed is awkward, suitable for couples. I will go live again if I have a chance next time. In addition, the bedside table is very characteristic of the clock, the large mirror is very delicate, and the toiletries are also very good. I bought two Ecuadorian red roses, and the hotel gave the vases, and the photos were amazing. In short, it is recommended!
Hotel degli Orafi
4.6/5105 Reviews
Florence Historic Center
The location is very good, next door is the Uffizi Gallery and the Old Bridge; the main attractions of the city can be walked, about 10 minutes to the Church of Our Lady of the Flowers, about 15 minutes to the central train station, dragged the box back and forth twice. Single room, the bed is not big but the whole room is clean. Complete facilities, single travel is preferred.
Gallery Hotel Art - Lungarno Collection

This time I booked for the name of Ferragamo's hotel. I stayed for four nights, but the quality of the hotel was significantly lower than expected. The room was small (prestige superior room), the facilities were normal, there was no sofa, no kettle, no soundproofing. Very good, the reception didn't have a smile, but the hotel is in a good location, right next to the old bridge of Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, a few minutes walk away, there are many restaurants around, there are backs in the alley A small restaurant featuring truffle truffle, the dishes and atmosphere are very good, we have even eaten for two days, highly recommended!
