Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Lhp Hotel River & Spa enjoys a great location near the River Arno, making it a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio, Galleria degli Uffizi, and other major Florence attractions. Guests often appreciate the modern rooms, some of which offer lovely river views, and many find the breakfast buffet, featuring savory, fruit, yoghurt, and cake options, to be a highlight. The availability of a spa with treatments is another plus, though some guests have noted that it's smaller than expected. You can also find some good options to eat in the restaurant for dinner.

i was really disappointed that the air conditioning wasn't adjustable from the room itself (i had to call the front desk for adjustments). this made it hard to get the room temperature just right at night. also, the spa was smaller than i expected. it felt a bit cramped and lacked some of the amenities i'd expect in a hotel of this supposed caliber. i think they need a serious upgrade to match the rest of the hotel.

the gym had equipment that worked well enough for a basic workout.
my room was smaller than expected, especially considering the price. mosquitoes were a constant nuisance, and the staff didn't seem particularly concerned.. perhaps they are used to it. the walk to the main attractions was definitely longer than advertised, stretching my patience.
