La Residenza Fiorentina

La Residenza Fiorentina was excellent - great staff at breakfast which was excellent, housekeeping was perfect and front desk staff were very helpful. Hotel is only 10 minutes from train station and walking distance to everything else. Room was a good size and bathroom and shower were fine. Great restaurants within 2 minutes, grocery store at the corner and a fridge in the room. There was definitely traffic noise but this could be almost muted by shutting the windows and did not really disturb us.. Suggest a 2nd floor room as 3rd does not have elevator service.

I'm having a single bed room. The room is small but have everything. The breakfast is also nice. Bread, cake, egg, fruit, milk and coffee. This is not a luxury hotel but cozy place to stay for the trip.

The hotel was fine - we didn't spend much time there as it was only a base for us for one night. We didn't eat there. What annoyed me was that they took the payment for the room from my bank account a couple of days before we got there. I had specifically indicated that we would pay cash when we got there, and kept the euros aside from our holiday money. When I asked about the transaction at the desk I was shrugged off with a "that's what we do". We didn't have time to stay and argue, but on principle we won't be going back.

Great location. Good hotel but needs more renovation. The staff was great. There is a giant main door, but apparently very little signs or information about where the hotel is located and how to get the doors open (Don't push doors, ring bell, they open with a buzzer) then you climb up two flights of stairs of an old converted building. There is a small lift (fits 2 people) but depending on how busy it is, or what condition the lift is in - you might have to drag your bags up yourself. The staff were helpful and professional, the check in was quick. My room was on the third floor, so had to drag my bags up another flight of stairs. the room was fine but the sleeping area was a bit cramped. The bathroom was ok, shower area was very small for a large person. Overall, this property is in a good location, nice staff, and acceptable amenities. It could do with a makeover and some renovation, like the lift or the stairs. The room could use better lighting and newer furniture.

very good location. walking distance from train station and to all the main attractions in Florence. lots of nice restaurants around the area and a convenience store beside it. the hotel was lovely. the room was comfy and spacious. staff were friendly. hotel reception located on second floor of building but elevator provided to get to the reception but not if you are staying on the floors above reception. coffee maker available 24/7 with snack in the canteen. breakfast provided -lots of options.
