“Excellent base to see Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We are currently half way through a six night stay at the Cavour and loving every minute of it. The hotel staff are friendly and very helpful - nothing is to much trouble for them. The hotel itself is clean, rooms are spacious and it is really central, easy to walk to the major sights.

We would absolutely recommend it and we can't wait to come back again.

“Great location for sight seeing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Lovely hotel within walking distance of all the major sights in Florence, staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and breakfast fantastic. As other reviews have said, there was a suspect smell in the lobby, but would definitely recommend the hotel

Dear guest
I agree!!!
Grand Hotel Cavour is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence near to the most important monuments of the city and is recognized as historical establishment (in The sixteenth-century palazzo of the Baldovini was turned into a hotel when Florence became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy).

It was a pleasure for the entire hotel staff reading your positive review and knowing that you have spent a wonderful stay.

“Good if they sorted the smell”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

This hotel is brilliantly situated. It’s next door to the Bargello and 50m from the Duomo. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Having said this, there are some truly dodgy smells lingering around every corner of this hotel. The lobby smells like wet dog and each floor has its own distinctive (dubious) odour. I presume the staff have just got used to it, like cow-pat on a farm.

Breakfast is a basic affair, but it does the job. There’s a great roof terrace with amazing views over the city.

For the price this hotel is pretty decent, they just need to sort out the pong.

Dear guest
unfortunately, the historical center of Florence has an ancient sewer system. In fact, there may be problems of this type. You can understand that these are situations that may occur but that does not depend on our work.
Surely you could see and appreciate that our staff is always careful to the quality of amenities for a comfortable stay of our guests.
We apologize for the inconvenience and remain at your disposal for any further information and visit our web site to discover special offers!!!

Best regards
The hotel managment

“My 2nd stay.....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012 via mobile

I returned to this hotel for 3 nights at the end of January. The room was very clean and spacious. The bathroom had completely insufficient lighting (same as the last room that I stayed in in 2010). It's absolutely impossible to put make up on with a mirror that has a frosted lit strip across the face area. I don't need up lighting from under the sink. I need lighting over the sink.
The only other issue was the maid not refilling the toiletry paper (and running out) and coffees.
Still a great breakfast, nice employees and a superb location.
