Important information about traveling with kids:
Some hotels may charge extra for a rollaway bed or a crib - depending upon age. This possible extra charge is not always displayed by the hotel to appear with the list of available rates offered.
In order to make sure that you see the exact rate that you will be charged for an accommodation for more than 2 adults, it is best to double-check by emailing us at customer service with your dates and the ages of your children. We will be happy to confirm rates and availability for you.

This hotel has been selected for:
In the foreigner’s mind, Florence strains under the weight of so much history that it’s sometimes difficult to remember that it’s the 21st century there too. It’s not all Renaissance architecture and crumbling frescoes — modern life goes on there, just like anywhere else, and contemporary small hotels like the Residence Hilda operate alongside the grand old-fashioned five-stars.
And it isn’t just in terms of design that the Hilda is the polar opposite of the grand hotels. This place hardly feels like a hotel at all — with just twelve suites, no public spaces to speak of, and the kind of minimal service that keeps to the background, it’s for the low-maintenance traveler, the sort who doesn’t need constant looking after.
Occupying a converted apartment building on a side street just north of the Duomo, the Hilda is improbably well-located for sightseers, shoppers, and business travelers alike. Suites are handsome, modern, with contemporary designer furnishings and a calming cream palette. Windows, looking out over the picturesque red rooftops of the city, are double-glazed to keep out the street noise. Fully equipped kitchens are standard, but cooking is by no means obligatory — any number of restaurants lie within walking (or delivery) distance.

Great family stay
Stayed May 2009
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
The location of the hotel was excellent, it was right near the Duomo in Florence, which is pretty much walking distance to all the major sites. There are excellent restaurants nearby. The staff was very good. They were extremely helpful in determining what to do, where to go, making reservations and sifting through the myriad restaurant options. The rooms were perfect for families, they were large, modern, full of amenities with excellent bathrooms. I would highly recommend this hotel for families with a modern style disposition.I Disliked
Not full service hotel, they are essentially serviced apartments. This is not a necessarily a negative, but one should be aware prior to booking.

Cordial welcome, extremely nice and helpful staff. The room was not a regular hotel room, but a two room apartment with a fully fitted kitchen and a large bath room, could have stayed there for weeks! Cozy, yet modern interior, very nice and elegant atmosphere and good location: walking distance from the city center, yet outside the big tourist streams. The staff was very forthcoming and friendly. And this all at an excellent price! I can recommend it and will return, when back in Florence next time.I Disliked

B minus at best.
Stayed September 2008
Overall rating: Good
I Liked
Superb location, really close to everything you might want to look at, easy to get to the station. Spacious rooms with everything comfortably laid out, not cluttered, crisp and simple decor. Very comfortable bed.I Disliked
Just as well we didn't want to watch TV - the only english-speaking channels available were BBC World and CNN! There was a lot of noise from the apartment above us. It sounded like they were dragging furniture around and footsteps thumped up and down continually, loud and annoying. Fortunately it was only for one night, but this would have been a major problem if it continued. If the sound insulation is like this in all the suites, it needs attending to. Meanwhile, if you're thinking of staying here, request a top floor apartment.348 user(s) found this review helpful
Residence Hilda
Stayed August 2008
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
Residence Hilda is like a hotel in every respect save that it does not have a restaurant or other hotel-like communal facilities attached. Instead you have an apartment with a bedroom and separate living area, so it feels like a suite in a very nice hotel. It is serviced like a hotel - cleaned every day. Someone even does the washing up for you in the kitchenette. We found the staff extremely helpful. RH is a traditional Florence townhouse which was apparently refurbished 3 years ago and everything feels new. It is very stylish, fresh and clean inside. It is also brilliantly central - literally a few hundred yards from the Duomo. It seemed exceptionally good value for money.I Disliked
Whilst RH have obviously spent a lot on refurbishing the apartments to a high standard, they've cuts some corners on some of the furnishings. The sofa is an example of this - it was not brilliantly comfortable and the seats kept sliding off all of the time. These are the exceptions, rather than the rule, however, and I would definitely go back if I was staying in Florence.422 user(s) found this review helpful
