Hotel Lombardia

Hotel Lombardia

I hate to sound like a broken record, but conversations with various friends reinforce my notion that I should qualify my hotel thoughts based on American-style vs. European-style. American hotels are just different from European hotels. I don't know that I really prefer one over the other actually. So for people that insist on American-style amenities, perhaps you should look elsewhere. But for the rest of us, I loved this place!

The staff could not be more gracious! They treated us like visiting VIPs, even when I stunned the guy at breakfast by requesting a Diet Coke with my croissant (that was the first time he'd been asked for that apparently).

Great location! You don't need a cab to get to the hotel from the train station, you can simply walk through a tunnel that let's you out right across the street. The Duomo is only a couple blocks away as are the Cathedral of Santa Croce, the Ponte Vechio, the Uffizi, Bargello, della Academia, and other galleries.

Quite literally, we walked almost everywhere. The room is spacious, even by American standards, although it's not going to win any major awards for decoration. And yeah, the shower is a little "quirky" in its size. But we loved it.

We spent four nights at the Hotel Lombardia and I could have stayed there for the entire 17 day trip. I hope we return there someday.
