I'm a business traveler. The stay in River LHP Hotel in Florence was delightful; there is no parking in the hotel, but the receptionist takes the keys of your car and call a parking not so far and they park for you! For turists: Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi and Palazzo Pitti are 10' walking far, and you walk on the lungarno. Employees are more than kind; they remember as they meet you your name and room number; and this for just 69 euro a night!

Clean and tidy hotel with a real service culture. Nothing was too much trouble for the reception staff including booking tours and providing reliable information. If you are staying for more than one or two nights,ask for a room with a balcony overlooking the Arno. The room was well appointed although small. The bed was spacious and comfortable. It is preferable if visitors carry out some pre-planning of where they want to go and what they want to see before arriving in Florence including booking admission tickets to Galleries etc. There are 4 electric mini bus routes that buzz through the back streets. Use the the one that stops outside the hotel. You can use them for 70 minutes for E1.20 or buy a season ticket and hop on and off . It saves leg work for galleries! A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

This is a lovely location on the river but much farther from the train station than we anticipated. Room was a triple and a nice size to make that work. It was in the basement and the window appeared to open onto an alley which was a little noisy with the window open. It was necessary to have it open because the room was too hot to stay in and the thermostat didn't seem to work. Couple that with very hard, lumpy beds and we didn't get much sleep. Shower was just a corner of the bathroom with a shower curtain creating a very small space. Breakfast buffet was fine. With all the rave reviews we read in advance, it was a real disappointment.

It?s a perfect hotel for couples in a four days visit to Firenze and vicinities. Perhaps a short products offering in breakfast (no cocoa for milk or bread and oil)could be the only dissapointment in a otherwise confortable and nice hotel
