During my trip to Italy with my family in June of 2007, this was our favorite hotel! It was incredibly clean, very modern, and just absolutely wonderful all around. It was very close to the train station, while also being incredibly close to the city center. We were an extremely short walk from the Duomo, as well as the Marketplace,... more

That is where all the best things ended. The room we were given was average and faced the back of some buildings. The worst part of this hotel was the staff... more

I just got back from spending a week in Rome and Florence. While in Florence, I stayed at the Best Western Viva Hotel Laurus. I enjoyed my stay there very much.
