Beautiful and grand! One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Amazing breakfast buffet and super helpful staff. So many options for my gluten free and lactose sensitivities! Tourist sites were steps away: Duomo, Pitti palace, Citovecchia bridge and many restaurants and shops.

Tourist attractions within walking distance. Driving in this area is challenging and very limited parking. Hotel uses an off-site parking garage. They pick up and return at but must give 1 hour notice.

I love this property, the location is perfection. My only complaint is that the rooms are SO HOT. I like a cold room to sleep in, and with mosquitoes, opening the windows was not an option. No A/C that I could find. Ugh

The staff are not hospitable. My family of 5: 2 adults and 3 small children, stayed at their flagship Beatrice suit, for 3 nights in mid March 2024. There was no wash cloth/sponge provided. Bathroom plumbing was clogged & shower stall flooded on our first night; they came to fix it but left the soaked shower carpet there. They provided exactly 4 small bottles of water per day and made guests use their overpriced coin-op vending machine to get more water if needed. We were from the U.S. and didn’t have the local coins. We called reception desk for wash cloths & more water because we were extremely thirsty from our trip. The lady who picked up refused to give us either then hung up on me curtly. The next morning, I went to the front desk to speak with the manager about our experience. The manager did not come out to see us: the front desk staff instead said we could email the manager or let him relay our concerns to manager. We told the staff our issues but never heard back from the manager of Grand Hotel Cavour. The a/c didn’t work and were all sweating through the night. We mentioned this to the front desk and she said it’s “winter” so their a/c will only blow hot air and our only option was to switch the a/c off. Temperature was in the low 60s during our stay and so we stayed hot since they couldn’t even provide us a fan. No clothing iron provided either for “safety” reasons. Rooms were not sound proof. Extremely loud noise in our suit nightly till about 4am. Kept us awake.

Response from Carlo - Rooms Division Manager on 21 Mar 2024
Dear Mrs. Oulade,Please be informed you are posting the same review on various platforms, with the same untrue remarks and you are harming the image of the hotel. In any case, below is the identical answer to the previous ones.Dear Mrs. Olulade,Thank you for having found the time to write down your feedback.We are sorry to hear that you have found our staff not hospitable but as you can read in most of feedbacks left by our former guests the staff does not lack of being hospitable and professional.Your reservation for the Beatrice Suite was for 4 people without breakfast. At your arrival we realized you were 5 people and no cost has been charged for the extra person.The Beatrice Suite is bookable for maximum 4 people.Concerning the issue you had with the shower as soon as you contacted the front desk, we immediatly intervened. For the wash cloth/sponge we do not provide them at all; being a personal item, we do not supply it to avoid allergy problems.The hotel offers complimentary water, 1 bottle per person per day and the Housekeeper do provide the refill. In case of extra requests, the hotel has vending machines on the 2nd and 4th floor.Regarding your request to meet our General Manager, he was out of the office for the entire week. The receptionist did inform you about that. Obviously he could have been contacted by mail at any time.The hotel provides an iron room because for means of security no appliances can be used in the rooms.The hotel has several foreign channels also for children. You should have contacted the front desk for assistance.As mentioned by the front desk, in this period there is no air conditioning. This information can be found on the provider on line you booked through, which states the following: “In accordance with national/local laws, air conditioning may be restricted to certain hours from 01 June to 30 September”.We are remaining at your disposal and we look forward to have you as our guest in the near future.

Very central location - a few mins walking distance to Uffizi, Duomo etc. Staff at the reception is knowledgable and very helpful. Rooms are basic, clean and quiet, breakfast is nothing exceptional but serves the purpose, and the reception area may benefit from a facelift but overall this hotel is great value.

This hotel has an ideal location with easy access to many of the great sights in Florence. About five minutes to the Duomo and the Uffizi. Lots of great restaurants and some supermarkets. Room very spacious. Well decorated and clean. Only issue is very few plug sockets especially if you need to use an adapter

Excellent value and location, highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our 6 night stay here. It's centrally located and an easy walk to just about anything you can think of. The David is just a short 4-5 minute walk away. The front desk staff were always friendly and very helpful and accommodating. Food and beverage available at the hotel were wonderful. If dining out is your thing, there are MANY options right around the hotel. Check in and out was very easy. Comfortable rooms, bathrooms, etc. Well appointed.

The hotel was located right at the historical center of town. We were driving into the city and the streets that lead to the hotel gets progressively narrower and narrower. It was a challenge to be driving our 9 passenger through the small street. The parking service which the hotel offers was great. Essentially we just dropped the van at the hotel lobby and someone will take care of the rest, including paying for ZTL. The room could be better equipped though. There was no coffee machine, though a kettle was provided. And the bathroom only offers soap for showering. There was no shampoo and conditioner. The location is the hotel is great for visit to various part of Florence. It is within walking distance to David, Uffizi Gallery and Duomo. Great for shopping too.
