We just returned from a two night stay at La Residenza. Both the room and the bathroom were huge (even had a large bathtub), especially by European standards and the bed was very comfortable. Additionally, the room had it's own AC which we could operate by remote control at any time we wished (if you have stayed at hotels in... More

I booked this hotel for 4 nights based on reviews and we only stayed here for one. Pros: the staff is great, very nice, and incredibly helpful. They could not have been nicer when I announced that we were leaving. Location is fabulous, quiet, and safe. The room was really large and spacious. Cons: the room really needs updating, particularly... More

La Residenza on Tornabuoni in Florence gives great value for money considering the size of the room, the newness of the bathroom and the perfect location. Out of season the price of a large double room was 70e. and for that you got breakfast - although the coffee out of those dreadful machines was pretty gruesome. But the service was... More

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
