Great location: very short walk to rail station (no taxi needed even with suitcases) and Duomo. Very good breakfast with fantastic rooftop view of Duomo. Adequate space in the room, clean, quiet despite noisy street, VG staff. I would certainly go back, unlike some other alleged 4* hotels we went to in Italy in June 08. more

This was the second hotel we stayed at during our 5 week European holiday. The next day after our arrival was a very important date for my wife. I had previuosly emailed the hotel and requested that they arrange flowers and champaigne be delivered to our room at 8am on the morning. As we checked in Leonardo whispered to me... more

Booked thru www.europeandestinations.com WE loved this hotel. Unlike many european hotels that have small rooms and even smaller bathrooms, the rooms were spacious and the bathrooms were huge (compared to other hotels in europe). We were walking distance to the train stations, the Duomo, the street vendors and the museum with David (Galleria dell'Accademia). We had great views from the... more

Negatives (you may want to get some popcorn) The view we had from room 507 / 508 (can't exactly remember which number now) was that of a wall, and not... more

My husband and I stayed at the Best Western Premier Hotel Laurus in November 2007 for two days. We loved the hotel and highly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying there. The location is great, we didn't have to use public transport at all, and could easily cover all the main attractions in Florence by foot. It is literally... more

Just perfect for a city break when , in my view, you need comfort, convenience, value above other needs. We stayed 3 days over a long weekend. Great location between train/bus station and Duomo/shopping centre. 5 mins walk from station, 2 mins to Duomo, 10 mins walk to river. Spotless room in recently refurbished modern hotel. Comfy kingsize bed (2... more

I was in Florence for a couple of nights to celebrate my birthday with three other friends (previously we spent two wonderful nights in Lucca) over New Year and had a wonderful time. The hotel was such a lovely surprise; near to the railways station (6 mins by foot) and the Duomo and main square 1 minute away - I... more

Excellent location, walking to distance to all major attractions and train station. Rooms seemed to have been renovated as they looked fresh and new. Good value for money given the location and quality of rooms. However, I find the service of the front desk staff at best average. more
