Hotel La VenereVia Cavour 21, San Marco - Santissima Annunziata, 50129 Florence (Show map) Very good, Score from 126 reviews“Friendly staff and excellent location.”
Jennifer,
Somerville
On the third floor of a historic building, Hotel La Venere offers traditionally decorated rooms and a central location in Florence. The Baptistery and the Florence Cathedral are a 5-minute walk away. Throughout the small, cozy La Venere Hotel, guests can admire reproductions of famous paintings found in the Uffizi Gallery, just half a mile away. La Venere features rooms with Florentine-style furnishings, wrought-iron beds and a free basket of snacks, fruit or chocolates. Some rooms overlook the busy street of Via Cavour. The staff can assist you with baggage storage, ticket services and transport information. Public buses are just down the street, and the Santa Maria Novella Train Station is about a 10-minute walk away. Hotel Rooms: 10

Hotel is rather small and friendly. Design of hotel is excelent. The rooms are clean and quiet. Very gracious and helpful stuff. Good breakfast. The placement of the hotel is in 3 minutes from Duomo - you will never get lost in this town. The Internet very expensive and of low quality.

Great location, close to all the sights and amenities. Hotel staff were very knowledgable and accommodating. Room was perfect for our needs and cleanliness was second to none.

We liked its location, near station and tourist areas. The decor is agreable and some effort has gone into it. We found the hotel to be very compact with poor views and poor breakfast choices. The hotel is above shops and appears to consist of one floor only? We paid £98 for a twin room for one night, I was not impressed with the value for that amount of money.

The location is great just a 2 minutes walk from The Duomo. The hotel is really old and they really need to change their dirty bed covering with a quilt. The breakfast is OK when compared with the price but do not have high expectations.

This is a very small hotel on one floor of a larger building (10 rooms, I think). The rooms were very nice and the service was excellent. The location is also very good.

This is a "hotel" on the 3rd floor and it was centrally located, 3 min walk to the duamo. And about 15 min from the train station. Very friendly staff and ok breakfast. The bed was very old and hard, you could feel the springs. And they had some water damages on the wall in our room.

Very friendly staff, great location. - Bath drain did not flow properly - Every evening, when we come back to the hotel, we would find our bedroom with all lights on. I don't know if this is an internal rule of the hotel, but it seemed unnecessary.

Hotel's location is great, in 2 minutes you are at the Duomo. Personnel is friendly and they did their best to accommodate our wishes. Hotel room is very small and cramped, but as we were mainly out visiting Florence we did not mind this very much. The bed however was very bad and we could not really sleep well, even after long days of visiting sites in Florence... The hotel has a very good value for the money however, and it is so ideally located that we did not mind the size of the room and the quality of bed.

The staff were very friendly and the room was quite comfortable. I had read other reviews which put some doubt in my mind before arriving but the hotel was actually really great. It is small - we had the room behind the reception so there were voices audible in the morning - but nothing to worry about. We didn't have any problems at all. No problem with the location - it is just a few hundred meters from the duomo. Strongly recommend. Internet is expensive as others have said (4€ for an hour) but for a quick check of emails, etc without having to leave the hotel, it was ok. There are plenty of internet cafés around but probably better things to be doing in Florence than being on the internet anyway. Breakfast was a little limited some days (I think it pays to arrive early) but absolutely ok. Toast, cereal, pastries, yoghurt, cheese, meats and even fresh espresso coffee to order.

Best thing first: the hotel has a fantastic atmosphere to it. Like an old monastery (rooms furnished accordingly simple - but adequate!) with a beautiful green courtyard. Really special. Breakfast was very good (many choices) and despite the size of the hotel (they have several conference rooms) it was not crowded or loud. Loved to relax there after a long day out in Pisa and/or surroundings. 10-15Min to the airport, ca. 5Min to the central station. Staff was helpful and nice. No complaints. But one should be aware, that the hotel is about 20min walk from downtown Pisa. We liked it for it.

The hotel was near all the city's attractions. You could reach Duomo in 5 mnutes' walk. The room was clean, spacious and it had a view to the city's main road. It was an excellent choice!

Very nice small hotel, occupying one floor of the period building, close to the city center (just a couple of minutes walk to the Dome). Helpful reception, rooms recently renovated and quite charming. Welcoming water and some cookies provided.

unfortunately we didn't like almost anything but the morning coffee. The room that we asked to was different from what we asked, although we sent writtten specification for our needs. no one find the time to let us know before we come that we are not going to have two different bad at the room. in order to give us what we want they asked for almost double cost, and only after we show them that it was written on our order, and therefore we will more to another hotel, they offered another room for no extra payment. we wanted to reduce the staying from 7 days to 4, and they insist to get paymnet for all the 7 days, although the policy on the conformation was that the penalty supposed to be only one night extra, only after the involving of the bookin team they agreed to get the penulty for one night instead of..

“I really liked this hotel. It is in an ideal location we could see the roof of the Duomo from the hotel. The hotel is in an old Palazzo and the whole place does have a sense of elegance. I loved the quirkiness of it.” Joanna, Hertford |
