The Grand Hotel Cavour enjoys a superb location near the Duomo, making it easy to reach all the main attractions on foot. Guests often highlight the spacious and clean rooms, some featuring balconies and views overlooking the Duomo, Bargello and Palazzo Vecchio. The breakfast is considered delicious by many, and the rooftop terrace offers amazing views of Florence, though a few guests have mentioned some noise from the street. You can also find deep bathtubs to help you recover after a long day of walking!

I much admired the hotel's location, it allowed easy access to main attractions. The breakfast selection was excellent, it included many options. My room was well kept, the cleanliness was perfect. I found the rooftop bar especially notable, it afforded excellent views.
The room size was rather small, it was inadequate for luggage. Street noise was disruptive, it made sleeping difficult at times. The air conditioning unit was not very effective, it struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature. The bathroom lacked counter space, it made organizing toiletries difficult.

mixed feelings about the stay

great locationsignificant noiselimited storage
the location is great, right in the center and within walking distance of many attractions.
The room i was given was quite noisy because it faced the street (i was on the second floor). It kept me awake until late at night. switching rooms helped with the noise, yet it was significantly smaller with less storage space, disappointing.
