Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Cantoria enjoys a superb location, a short walk from the train station and within easy reach of Florence's main attractions. Guests often compliment the modern and clean rooms, some of which offer a little balcony to see the city. The rooftop terrace is a highlight for many, offering great views, though some guests have noted that it could have more consistent opening hours. A breakfast is included and, while simple, is generally considered satisfying, with some guests specifically praising the cappuccino.

the door frame in my room was hanging off (not a great first impression). there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room or anywhere else in the premises. i would not stay again, even though the rooms were clean and the location is good.

i found the location convenient, especially its proximity to the train station. the staffs are very kind, they offer a BEST cappuccino every morning. the rooftop terrace offers a NICE view of the duomo. i appreciated the little balcony available to see the city.
the shower door didn't seal properly at the bottom, water leaked onto the floor.

excellent city stay

convenient locationrooftop loungesmooth servicestrange layout
the location was indeed very convenient. i found it easy to walk to the train station and the main attractions (everything is so close!). the rooftop lounge was a highlight, i spent a lot of time up there. the breakfast service was smooth and the food tasted good.
the hotel occupies two floors in an apartment building (this felt a little strange). the reception is on the 5th floor, but rooms are on the 3rd. it wasn't a huge issue, but worth noting.

the hotel features a rooftop terrace that provides city views, and it includes a bar, thus offering a space for relaxation and socializing right on the premises, .

the beautiful king room includes a comfortable king-sized bed and sufficient space (it did feel a bit small to me, though). the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

breakfast includes a variety of options, i saw cold cuts, cheeses, and pastries. the staff keeps the food stocked (it was nice to not see empty trays). coffee was also good.

the rooftop patio offered great sunset views. the breakfast was decent with a nice selection. the location was very convenient. i could easily walk to most attractions.
the hotel description and images were misleading. the entrance to the reception on the 5th floor was run down. i also noticed some grubby carpets in the corridors. some amenities that were advertised did not exist.

The location is convenient, with the train station a short walk away. Stefano gave me a map with useful information upon arrival.
The plumbing wasn't great. The bathroom had a noticeable sewer gas smell. It was unpleasant. I mentioned this to the front desk but they didn't offer solutions, because the hotel was full.
