    A Gem in the Heart of Firenze

    rating29 Apr 2026

    A Gem in the Heart of FlorenceWe just finished an incredible five-day stay at Albergo Luchesi, and we cannot say enough about this wonderful hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of.What We Loved:• The Accommodations: Our rooms were beautifully decorated, balancing classic elegance with modern comfort. It was the perfect sanctuary to return to after a day of exploring.• The Breakfast: Every morning started on a high note with a delicious breakfast. The selection was impressive, fresh, and provided the perfect fuel for our daily adventures.• The Dedicated Staff: The warmth and friendliness of the entire team truly set this hotel apart. A special thank you to the maids, who kept our room pristine, and the bartenders, who were so passionate and attentive. Their genuine care throughout our five days made us feel like honored guests.SummaryIf you are looking for a hotel that combines style with a warm, caring atmosphere, Albergo Luchesi is the place to be. The staff's passion for hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We are so appreciative of the wonderful memories!Sincerely,Steve & Celia Hulst, Doug & Jan Schrotenboer, Cal & Ardale Schrotenboer, Ron & Nancy Zagers Sara Morucci, Altro at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi, responded to this review Good morning,Thank you so much for this fantastic, detailed review.

    Mislead by other reviews

    rating26 Mar 2026

    We are in the middle of a wonderful Italian spring break vacation with our two children and have been looking forward to Florence from the outset. As we pulled up to Lucchesi we noticed it was a little dated but were willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. After checking in with a curt, all-business front desk staff, we were taken to our room in an elevator that can only be described as smelling like a sewage pipe. It was so rancid, we had to cover our noses. The rooms were as minimal and unflavorfull as I have ever experienced. No art, bland colors, chipped paint, and a shower fit for a best western. The sewage odor continues in the room, or maybe it was burnt into our noses from the elevator. The fact that this hotel has 4 stars makes me rethink the validity of the entire “Star” system. Realistically this is a 2 Star hotel at best. Maybe once it was nice 30-40 years ago, but in an era when hospitality has evolved, this hotel is stuck in the past. We checked out and were willing to lose the cost of one night in order to make sure our trip was not ruined by this hotel. We got lucky and found an incredible boutique hotel that was available and not even much more money. Sara Morucci, Altro at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi, responded to this review Dear Mr. Hilfer,We are truly sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations and that you experienced discomfort with the elevator and your room. Unfortunately, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by an unpleasant odor in the elevator, which our maintenance team promptly investigated and resolved as quickly as possible.We deeply regret that these issues affected your visit to Florence, as this is never the experience we wish for our guests. Your comments are very important to us, and we will keep them in mind for the future to improve our facilities and services. We hope that, should you decide to visit Florence again, we might have the opportunity to provide you with a stay that better meets your expectations.Best regards,Andrea B.Front Desk, Plaza Hotel Lucchesi

    Good Hotel on river Arno !

    rating26 Mar 2026

    Good Hotel on the River Arno. We enjoyed a room with river view comprising the Piazza de Michelangelo just opposite the River. THere is a top floor with Swimming pool (rather small) but it was not yet available for guests. The view from the terrasse is stunning and you see the Dome, the Campanile and the Santa Cruz Church !Our room was small and well maintained. Breakfast in the form of a buffet offered what one can expect. Service and personel is friendly. Sara Morucci, Altro at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi, responded to this review Dear Mr. Anthony,Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your room with a river view and our terrace. We are also glad that you appreciated the buffet breakfast and the friendly service of our team.We apologize that the swimming pool was not available during your stay, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back so you can enjoy it as well.Best regards,Andrea B.Front Desk, Plaza Hotel Lucchesi

    Thank you and well done!

    rating23 Feb 2026

    We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Luchessi in Florence and would not hesitate to recommend it.The hotel itself is beautiful with excellent facilities. The rooftop pool area looks like a real bonus in the warmer months – sadly it was not open during our February visit, but we can imagine how special it must be in summer with those views.What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the service. The staff were exceptional from start to finish – always smiling, always welcoming, and constantly asking if there was anything they could help with. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The concierge in particular was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering great advice and making everything easy for us.The location is very good – a pleasant walk from the rail station and perfectly positioned for exploring Florence. Our room overlooked the river, which made it even more special.Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and attentive service throughout.It has been a long time since we experienced service of this standard – even compared with many five-star hotels. A genuine thank you to the whole team for making our stay so enjoyable. Well done. Sara Morucci, Altro at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi, responded to this review Good afternoon,Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments. It was a pleasure to have you at our hotel, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.Best regards,Andrea B.Front Desk, Plaza Hotel Lucchesi

    Outstanding Hotel in the Heart of the City

    rating15 Feb 2026

    An Outstanding Hotel in the Heart of the City - our second stay there in a few years. We could not fault this hotel, from the moment we entered the lobby. All the staff were professional, friendly and could not do enough to ensure that your stay was the best experience - from the chamber maid turning down your bed each evening to the bar tender serving you a glass of iced water with your drink. We were happy to pay the extra gratuities at check out. The room was amazing and overlooked the river with a well equipped bathroom, There was everything we needed for a very comfortable stay in Florence. Excellent breakfast served until 10.30am, with a host of choices from cooked food to pastries and cheeses. We have stayed in many 4 star hotels around the world and this is up there with the best! We will return. Thank you to the staff at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi. Sara Morucci, Altro at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi, responded to this review Dear Paul,We truly appreciate every word you shared in this wonderful review. Thank you for your kind comments, and we are delighted to know that you had such a great time at our hotel.Best regards,Andrea B.Front Desk, Plaza Hotel Lucchesi
