8.3

Perfect location, good value for money, suitable for weekend stay

8.9

Excelente servicio y ubicación. Este hotel cumple cabalmente con la oferta que hace en el sitio de internet. Unicamente debo hacer el comentario que podría mejorar el servicio de internet en las habitaciones pero vale la pena aclarar que el personal del hotel se esforzó en resolver esa dificultad. Altamente recomendable la estancia.

location perfect, steps from Basillica. Clean, quiet, lovely balcony and near good food. Will return anytime in Rome.

Los hoteles 3 estrellas en Italia son como un 2 estrellas en cualquier lugar de España, si van con esa mentalidad, no se llevaran ninguna sorpresa. La amabilidad del personal es excelente y la limpieza decente. El espacio es muy reducido, pero para acampar una noche, estuvo bien. Si son personas grandes, no entraran en la regadera, pero lo recomiendo

8.2

quality of breakfast was poor and items not replenished , so that if not early , little left.[ we have been to Florence many times and stayed at least three other hotels ,and there is no comparison]

8.5

Spacious rooms, great welcome, good breakfast and excellent location. Only problem is the road that is very noisy in the early morning.

9.9

we enjoy our staying and we strong recommend it. we also enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. the hotel is close to the station and to the center....we also loved the restaurants close by !

8.4

Excellent location in town, the family and team are very nice. They help you with every demand. Have been here the second time and will sure return.

9.0

Wonderful central location (Via Tornabuoni is a great historic street and the the palazzo containing the hotel is elegant in the sober Florentine style). Very good room and bathroom. WiFi worked. Breakfast OK. The welcome was somewhat restrained (again in the Florentine style), and our departure was unduly hurried by their impending winter closure.

9.2

We would definitely stay at LaResidenza again. The location cannot be beat. The staff was informative and friendly. We were there in December so there was not much activity or noise in the hotel, great for us.

7.6

very convenient location.

9.9

LA Residenza was recommended to us by a friend, and its is a fantastic hotel, located in the most expensive part of florence yet priced so reasonable. the Staff is superior helpful and super friendly. Of all the places we stayed on our italian vacation this place was the best. They had a computer to use for internet a rooftop garden lounge, wonderful breakfast and the location was with in 5 minutes of everything in florence I highly recommend La Residenza you wont be dissapointed

8.9

Big and spacious room, decent bathroom, cool 19th century elevator, complementary internet, breakfast is quite reach comparing what we had in Rome for higher price. Very welcoming stuff. Beg though not very comfortable, but still ok.

9.2

Excellent location. Staff were very helpful in providing advice. Excellent breakfast. Upgraded to superior room at no additional cost

Spacious and lovely room, delicious breakfast, charming staff. I loved staying here.

10

I would highly recommend this hotel. Fantastic situation, spacious room, great breakfast and fabulous, welcoming, knowledgable, friendly and helpful staff.

9.1

We stayed four nights at La Residenza. This is an excellent location close enough to train station and right in the middle of town. The price for Florence is very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Spacious bathroom and individual air conditioning.

8.5

Very very helpful staff. I could not get internet in my room so they moved me, without me asking to another room. Very polite, always smiling, there to help and make my stay a pleasant one. The hotel is strategically located, at walking distance of every sight in Florence

8.5

The room was small but ok. The flore and the staireways needs a renovation.

10

Great location and wonderful staff.

8.7

I highly recommend La Residenza. We were warmly greeted by our hotel host (I can't remember his name) who personally walked us up to our room. We were presently surprised that we were given a triple room and a cot free of charge as we were a family of 4 (1 5yr old an 1 5mo old). That was a nice touch. The rooms are great and the location is awesome. It seemed like we were just a bloock or 2 away from all the points of interest in Florence. Breakfast was not bad, compared to other hotels we stayed in Rome and Venice. It's your basic deli slices of ham, cheese, toast, yogurt, juices, cereals, and coffee/capucinno's from a machine. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel due to it's location, room conditions, and a friendly staff. The price is more than fair for what we paid and we stayed on the most expensive street in Florence (Prada right across the street, Gucci and Ferragamo only steps away). I will not hesitate to stay here again for our next visit to Florence. Sincerely, Eric

8.5

the hotel la residenza was excellent,easy enough to find from the train station,(within 10 minute walk),good choice for breakfast, the hotel was very clean,and the room was quiet, (we had a room at the back of the hotel)eveything you want to see in florence is within easy walking distance from this hotel,if I return to florence I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again

10

Very friendly staff, location ideal, the room was very roomy even by american standards, beautiful roof balcony. Wold go back in a minute

8.3

excellent location,walking distance to everywhere

9.6

Everything was exactly as we'd expected. Very friendly. Good location. Would recommend to anyone.

5.7

Both the room and the bed were smaller than I was led to understand from the pictures. The room was extremely sparse, with very little table space, no night-table, and no comfortable chair. There was a serious lack of plugs to plug anything in. Not very comfortable when you're awake. The location is excellent and the staff were pleasant and helpful.

7.4

Our room was quite nice, but desperately needed to be upgraded with new carpeting, bathroom tiles, furniture and paint on the walls. Not everything in Italy needs to look as though it belongs in the Renaissance. For other travelers, I would say the location is excellent. It's close to all the important visitor sites in Florence, as well as to nearby extravagant shopping.

7.7

The staff was very accomodating with personalized service. Price was good considering its location. Rooms were more roomy that I expected but unfortunately wathe jotel could not don much about the lack of good lighting in the room and bathroom s which gave me trouble reading and doing make-up unlike other Italian hotels where lighting was abundant. Breakfast room was bright and pleasant. Overall it was worth the money we paid for.

8.6

Generally, it was a great stay, location and people were lovely. We stayed 2 nights in a triple, which was spacious and served us well. The final 2 nights we booked 3 singles for some privacy, but lost out on the spaciousness and all 3 rooms involved stairs (either in the room or in the hallway.) The staff was very helpful with our luggage.

5.5

the furniture is very old but the lecotin is excellent.

9.9

During a two week trip to Italy involving many different cities and hotels, Hotel La Residenza was the best hotel we stayed in. The hotel room was clean and quiet, the breakfast was delicious, the staff were more than helpful, the roof top balcony was a wonderful spot to relax. The location was perfect in terms of sight seeing and getting to and from the rail station. I felt safe and comfortable the entire trip. We loved this hotel and highly reccommend it to all that are considering it.

7.5

Nicely located and very interesting building. Staff were very helpful although 24 hour room service is seriously depleted after 6pm as hot drinks not available. Would recommend this hotel as the location alone is worth it and we felt that the price was reasonable considering how expensive Florence can be

8.8

Ideal central location with the right balance between the City bustle and the quieter back streets. Lots of authentic restaurants nearby especially south of the river. Roof terrace is small but attractive with lots of fragrant flowers and is perfectly adequate for a relaxing glass of wine and a good book. Rooms 8 & 9 good size, excellent bathrooms - only problem is windows were sealed but there was AC

7.3

We stayed here 2 nights. The location was perfect for us. On Main Street, our room faced prada!!The breakfast was excellent. Staff were friendly, particularly hardeep, who had excellent recommendations for restaurants close by. The Bathrooms were not well equipped.

9.5

This is a lovely hotel and the "haute couture" street in Florence, it is easy walking distances to all the main attractions and the station. The only bad thing with the hotel was the bathroom was quite small and the lift only goes to the 4th floor, we were on the 5th and it was difficult to get the cases up the steep staircase. However, you do get a small roof terrace if you're on the top floor. The staff were very friendly and recommended fantastic restaurants. I would return again but would request a room on a lower floor.

9.2

We were on our honeymoon and enjoyed your hotel very much.

7.9

Un hotel dans un bel immeuble, au beau milieu de la ville. Un sejour agreable. Florence est une ville bruyante, et l'insonorisation des pieces n'est pas parfaite. Rien de dramatique cependant.

8.4

This room was not bad it just wasn't the best. It was very basic with twin beds pushed together to make a king and very hard mattresses and pillows. Nothing special but clean and close to everything. The staff was very friendly and we have no complaints about breakfast. Really no complaints... just no raves either. But the price was definitely right and it was close to everything!

9.7

We stayed five nights in Hotel La Rezidenza. It was very convenient and we went everywhere on foot. The hotel staff were lovely, extremely capable with very good advice on tours (I can recommend Assisi/Perugia), shopping etc. Rooms were spacious, clean and very quiet. Price was excellent despite being located in one of the most exclusive shopping precincts (next door to Cartier!!) but with none of the pretension. Breakfast was excellent and always accompanied by a warm welcome. There is a beautiful terrace where you can sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. We loved this place and recommend it to anyone thinking of going to Florence.

5.9

It was very difficult to arrive by car and the garage is expensive. I would not recommend to those arriving by car. But for those by train, I think this is an ideal spot. A very nice freindly hotel.

8.1

very nice accommodations. the service was great. very friendly.

8.4

Very easy to find. 15 minute walk from train station. Close to all! Great location, beautiful hotel. Lobby is on 2nd or 3rd floor, not on the main level as you walk in. Elevator (beutiful antique mahogany) available.

7.8

great location, easy to reach downtown areas. Nice breakfast.

9.9

This was our second time staying in the La Residenza and once again we were extremely pleased with everything. We found it even better the second time and will strongly reccommend it to our friends with the fullest confidence. It is all we wished for and more.

9.7

Had a family-run feel to it. They were very helpful in arranging garaging for the car. A really charming hotel with an "old world" feel about it.

9.9

I loved this hotel. Its location was perfect for sightseeing and shopping. It was quaint and friendly.

9.9

Our stay at La Residenza surpassed our highest expectations. We were fortunate to get the room at a great rate (it was the low season) and every aspect of the accomadation was perfect. The staff were warm, friendly, and helpful and we even had a chance to meet the charming owner. The breakfast offered everything we could have wanted...and more. Highly recommend this place. I live in Italy and can say from experience that the location of the hotel is perfect for enjoying Florence.

9.6

Well worth the price and would stay there again

8.1

Nice place, excellent location. Friendly staff. Highly recommendable.

9.7

Raphael helped us on check in, making quite certain we were satisfied with our room that would be "home" for 3 nights. He helped us set up an internet account, referred us to great restaurants and gave excellent directions to points of interest. Breakfast was forgettable, opt out if you can. Better to patronize Florence's cafes - we especially enjoyed Cafe Perseo.

9.0

Wonderful location in Florence, especially for shopping at the high end stores. Breakfast was excellent and the roof-top facilities was wonderful for a glass of wine under the stars. Service was very nice. Elevator is tiny but fun to use. Only complaint was the air conditioner couldn't handle the very hot weather but I think that was unusual.

3.7

I took a train from Rome to Florence, so I arrived at the hotel around 7 p.m. The front desk person told me right away that there was a broken pipe on my bathroom. She told me that she could offer me another room, but the only problem was that it did not have a bathroom. She said that the bathroom was like ten meters away from the room. I asked to see the original room plus the new room in order for me to decide if it was worh it to stay in that hotel and the owner told me an excuse that I did not believe. She said that my original room was a mess, so I was not able to see it and she offered me to stay in the new room for 19 dollars less a night. I think they rented my reserved room to someone else. I decided to stay because I was really tired. The room smelled and the shower at the bathroom did not have enough cold water, so the hot water was almost burning me while I took showers. The room did not have a security box, it did not have a little refrigetrator either. Even tough I had a discount, I think that my room was expensive comparative with other rooms in the hotel. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. Great location....Someone told me that that is the way the owner works the hotel, so if she gets someone else before you arrive, she would rent your reserved room. The main reason I did not change hotel the next day is that I was going to be just three nights in Florence, and I was really tired from my sightseing in Rome, so I did not have the energy to look for something else.

9.2

We enjoyed our stay because of the friendly hosts. The staff was very accomodating, they made reservations for us at the museums, arranged an early taxi to the airport and served breakfast early the day of our departure. They are still working on upgrades but the friendly atmosphere definitely out weighs the any shortcomings in that area. We had two rooms, one faced the street and was quiet , the other had elevator noise so ask to be away from the front desk/elevator area. I would stay again. The location was wonderful.

3.5

We found this room to be the biggest disappointment of a 3 week trip. The room location was as indicated, and exactly where we wanted to be, but everything else was much less than advertised. The advertising did not indicate that the hotel was on a 2nd (or 3rd) level, accessable only via a 2 person elevator (or 1 person with luggage) and the actual upper entrance was most unappealing as was the breakfast room. The advertised bar was impossible to identify. But, by far the worst part was the high noise level of the street noise with the windows cracked for the only ventilation available. It was virtually impossible to sleep until after the bars and clubs closed around 2:00 AM and the noise started up again at 6:00 AM. At 7:30 AM constrution started at the adjacent building sending building debris down a chute to the street on about 2 minute intervals. While this couldn't be controlled by the hotel, it still made for a very bad experience.

9.5

Very nice hotel, very well located Nice people

9.8

Had a fantastic stay. It is lovely offering real hospitality. Staff are charming and helpful. Breakfast was the best I've had in Italy and for the price - amazing!! Can't recommend it highly enough.

8.9

fantastic central location.only 10 minutes to all major attractions.lots of quality restaurants nearby.

7.8

This was a great little hotel located in a wonderful part of town. It was easy to walk everywhere. The staff was so helpful and I definitely recommend it!

9.7

The hotel's location is excellent. You can access by walk from train station and in few minutes you can find major touristic sites and enjoy window-shopping. Rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Staffs are welcoming, I enjoyed conversation with reception staffs. I definitely choose the hotel again if I stay in Florence.

8.1

Very handy to both the train station and the major tourist sites. Only problem was (might be venere.com's problem) was that the website offered single rooms with no bath and such a room does not exist.

9.1

Right in the heart of Florence between fashion name stores, we were lucky to find a homely and secluded room with a balcony. Lift access was fun and our stay has given us lots of happy memories. Would highly recommend this hotel!!

8.3

the employees were all friendly and helpful. i'm sure i'll use La Residenza when i visit Florence next time and recommend it to my friends who plan to visit there!

9.1

La Residenza is an superb B&B - this is my second stay there. The staff is great - a family affair. They are always accomodating and the location is great for an easy 2 minute walk into main Florence.

5.4

Breakfast is excellent. But the hotel is too expensive for the quality of services offered.

6.1

just too expensive for what was offered. the people, except the man who served breakfast, were very, very friendly and we had a nice stay. Still, too much money.

9.9

Great price, great location, very quiet and spacious room with all the amentities.

10

The Tsaff was excellent and the rooms were the great. this hotel couldn't be better located to the best sites in Florence. We would highly recommend this hotel to friends

9.8

I could enjoy the stay in Firenze very much with the good hospitality of the hotel. Thank you.

8.7

we found the staff at the hotel to be extremely courteous and helpful. Excellent location. We would stay there again.

8.8

Rooftop garden was a nice retreat after a busy day. Staff was very helpful and courteous. I would recommend La Residenza to all visiting Florence.

6.8

When we arrived the lift was not working and it was never repaired during our stay of four days. Likewise, the small refrigerator in our room never worked and nothing was done to repair it.
