What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Cantoria stands out for its central location near Santa Maria Novella and major sights, generally spotless rooms, friendly staff, and a popular rooftop terrace with city views, plus a breakfast many guests rate highly.

Common drawbacks include small rooms, noise from halls or the street, and frequent issues with AC or heating and tiny showers. A few report sporadic rooftop bar hours, entrance or gate quirks, cash-only city tax, and occasional service lapses or odors. Expect a compact, centrally located stay with good views and breakfast.

Facilities

The rooftop terrace with city views is a highlight, though the bar or access is not always available. Entry and building logistics can be quirky (small lift, stiff gate), and parking is via a paid partner garage, sometimes cash-only.

A/C didn’t work on the second night and it was too loud to keep the windows open. Shower door didn’t keep water from flooding out all over the bathroom. Wonderful view from the rooftop and location was amazing.

Great hotel in an excellent location. Don’t be put off by the entrance area as it does not reflect the hotel. Easy check in with some excellent advice re things to see, do & where to eat. Rooms compact but had everything we needed including fridge. Breakfast was more than adequate. Lovely rooftop bar area with a fabulous view. An excellent stay and would definitely recommend it.

Positive points: location, terrace, breakfast, majority of the staff, negative points: the parking available means they work with a parking that is 5 mins away to offer the parking for36 per night, I didn’t shop around for parking to know if it is expensive or not, but both parking and hotel persist on getting cash for both parking cost and the city tax. On this matter, they only look for their benefits and not to work on a win win for both sides.

Rooms were very clean and moderately updated. Black out curtains were a treat and ample places to put the luggage. Good sized bathroom, although the shower was small, like most Italian showers. The breakfast was very good and has lots of options. Front staff were mostly helpful although felt there was a language barrier if you didn’t speak Italian with a lot of the staff. Some staff were very helpful with tips in the city. Others felt like they couldn’t wait to stop talking to you, which could be a language/cultural barrier. Great food market a 2 minute walk which was a great introduction to the cities cuisine. The rooftop bar was by far the highlight of the place. Good drinks with an even better view. Full 360 view of the city.

The front desk people were not very present or helpful. It was a little hard to find, but the location ended up being great. The room needed a little updating. There was some rot in the bathroom where water leaked out of the shower and the ceiling needed a paint job. The views of the Duomo are all from the roof top, which isn’t accessible all the time.

Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. On the last night of our stay the A/C unit started making popping noises and woke us up. Shower was tiny but overall good. Reception staff were ok. Breakfast staff were very good. Continental breakfast was excellent with many options. Location was average but security good. Front gate difficult to open and close. We unfortunately did not get a chance to enjoy the rooftop bar.

The hotel is in a great location for the main train/tram Station and also the Duomo. It is in an excellent location for the Mercato Centrale which located near San Lorenzo. This has a huge artisan market downstairs during the day. The food hall area upstairs stays open late and has many places to eat with a central bar. The room was basic and did have a slight sewery smell.

While the room was nice - the AC was non existent (didn’t work) and the shower so tight you could barely fit it in. Once you did, you either turned off, change the temp by just slightly moving. Location was good and staff was friendly. But if you are going in summer - this is not the place. If you are not in fit shape - the shower is not for you.

1. The bed was NOT a queen bed, but a full size bed. 2. After a full and exhaustive day of excursion, returned to our room in the evening and found it was OPEN!!! I immediately went to the Front Desk and reported to the staff on duty. He had the Audacity to say that I left it open! Instead of comforting words, he accused me of leaving it open. This was totally UNCALLED for and way out of line. I advised him that our room appeared to have been cleaned, towels changed and trashed picked up. I surmised that Housekeeping was the last to have been there since we left after breakfast. He was so unhelpful and dismissive! I then reported it to Hotels.com for proper incident report. To waste my saliva and time correcting this person was unnecessary. He wouldn’t even take the report. As I was leaving g back to my room, I overheard him say to another young staff, “the lady talks too much”. This made me more infuriated! I need to know what hotels.com concluded from this incident report. Poor customer service

And fantastic staff especially helpful Lorenzo at the evening front desk and the friendly morning Breakfast lady. The owners next upgrade really needs to be a new mattresses in room 514 as the springs in the thin mattress are painful especially for a side sleeper.
