About
Select Executive Residence
Select Executive Residence is a small 4-star property in Florence with just 12 rooms, offering a more independent stay than a typical hotel. Each room includes a sitting area, kitchen facilities (an extra cost to use), air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. The property is non-smoking throughout and pets are allowed.
The residence sits about a 10-minute drive from the Arno river, Piazzale Michelangelo, and the Uffizi Galleries. Several guests mention the convenience of nearby bus stops and a shopping mall within walking distance, making it easy to balance a quiet base with access to the city.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Self-catering setup — Guests liken it to an apartment, with kitchen facilities that can be used for an extra fee, plus a small fridge in some rooms – a good option for those who want to prepare their own meals and skip the paid breakfast.
- Quiet yet connected location — Although not in the historic center, the residence sits near bus stops that reach the train station and downtown, and some attractions are within a 20-minute walk. A shopping mall is a few minutes away on foot.
- Modern and clean rooms — Multiple guests describe the rooms as spacious, modern, and recently renovated, with comfortable beds and air conditioning.
- Friendly and helpful staff — Staff receive consistent praise for being courteous and accommodating, even when working alone or during the holidays.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort rating is low — The Comfort category scores just 2.5 out of 10, far below other measures, suggesting that some guests find the physical comfort lacking – possibly related to beds, noise, or climate control.
- Not central — Some guests note the hotel is 'well out of Florence' and that you'll need a 20-minute walk or a bus ride to reach the main sights; it's not close to the train station or airport.
- Limited parking — One review explicitly mentions that parking is limited, which could be a challenge for those arriving by car.
- Inconsistent breakfast and décor — Breakfast gets mixed comments – one guest found it poor but with variety, another called it inclusive and good. The orange walls, while characterful, strike some as odd.

7.4Verified guest“Pleasant stay at Ih Hotels – rooms were clean and felt safe for the family. The bright orange walls were a bit unusual but added character. Location let us explore Florence on foot, and the nearby bus made the train station easy to reach. Breakfast was not great but offered a good range of drinks and continental options.”
7.4Verified guest“If you're visiting Strozzi Palace, don’t miss this place – it’s right next to a bus stop.”
