Absolutely loved La Hotel Residenza in Florence. The accommodations were perfect for a family. We stayed in a two bedroom Family Room and were very comfortable. Our room was convenient and clean with a private bathroom. The location was fantastic. They were waiting for us upon arrival and could not have been more welcoming. The staff was extremely helpful with... More

This hotel is a couple of blocks from the river in the heart of luxe shopping - Gucci, Chanel, Bulgari, Dior, Armani, etc whose doors we didn't darken but it was fun looking. All major attractions were in easy walking distance. Very much a 3 star hotel; helpful staff, huge room, good bed, average breakfast. They have an arrangement with... More

I just returned from a weekend in Florence, where I stayed at La Residenza. The location couldn't be better: it was roughly a five minute walk from the train station, two minutes from the lovely Arno, and five minutes from Piazza della Repubblica and the Duomo. The interior of the hotel has charm, and the staff seemed friendly and helpful.... More

The location is great. Easy walk from the train station. The room was simple and clean. The room had air conditioning. Breakfast was included and they had a pretty good selection. They are located within walking distance from pretty much everything. I would stay here again. More

Found ourselves here after the hotel we originally booked had messed up the dates! Situated centrally and within easy walking distance of all sites. Comfortable & clean, some rooms are more quirky than others but this is an old building and has a lot of potential if restored. The original lift is fabulous! Breakfast good with a lot choices although... More

Remember.... Location, Location, Location! La Residenza is in the HEART of Florence, convenient to the train station (7 mins walking), Pitti Palace, Uffizi Museum, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio (6 mins), you get the idea. The rooms are quaint and very clean, but the lift only goes up to the third floor, and walking up stairs is required. But if you... More

I stayed in this hotel 19 years ago on my own, remembered it being nice enough and very conveniently located so thought it would be fun to stay there again with my husband. It was pleasing to learn it is still owned by the same family, with the then-owner's son now running it. As requested we had one of the... More

I chose this hotel for convience for the station and all the sights. I walked everywhere and it was handy to come back for a rest in the afternoons. I had a spacious clean room, comfy bed, good shower room and the a/c was efficient, considering the extreme heat outside. There was a lovely salon and roof terrace on the... More

We stayed here for 3 nights to explore Florence without spending too much. It was a perfect little 3 star, a little old and quirky but in a perfect location for exploring. Rooms dont have a view but if you just want a bed for the night this is nice and clean. Breakfast was very basic indeed but enough to... More

This is a nice, clean, small hotel near the Palazzo Strozzi and only a few blocks from the Ponte Santa Trinita bridge. They have an old funky elevator/lift, but you can take the stairs. The staff are friendly and helpful. Talk to Laura, she's a sweetheart. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The bathroom in room #5 is tiny, but... More
