A genuinely awful hotel, dirty and cold. From the moment you walk inside the door and choose between a tiny cramped lift or a long haul up the stairs you can clearly see that it is a poorly thought out hotel. Having the recption on the thrid floor rooms on the 2nd 4th and 5th is a lunatics paradise but... more

The guy on the desk was so helpful, we mentioned we need to get a train timetable and he got onto the web to research the one we wanted and printed it off. He made suggestions on which times were the best ones to get. We also found the guys to be very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and... more

Dear future Florence tourists. As an American group we went to Firenze a few months ago with a group through Explorica... Being high school students these things can get a tad expensive so we were booked at the Cordova and were utterly shocked by our rooms. The beds weren't exactly well kept, the televisions did not work, no shampoo, etc.... more

Being a two star hotel I wasn't going to be be expecting anything too luxurious but nothing prepared me for what was waiting in our room. The only positive things I can really say about this hotel is that we had a very spacious balcony and it was not a far walk to Firenze attractions. Though there was no shampoos,... more

I stayed in this hotel on an Explorica Educational Tour (www.explorica.com) the second week of July. I am an employee of Explorica (an educational tour company) and was accompanying a tour to Rome, Florence and Venice. The hotel was great and had an amazing rooftop patio with a view of the Duomo. It was a great location and the group... more

Terrible experience! Loved Florence, can't wait to go back, but I would avoid this awful hotel. First- the toliet didn't flush properly and a staff member called me a stupid American for complaining about this. Second- we had to stradle the toliet as we showered and after each shower, the room flooded. Third- the hotel gave us fleas (or bed... more

We ended in Hotel Cordova because we took one look at the rooms of the hotel recommended and gave it a pass. We were greeted at the front desk by Carmello, an extremely helpful, friendly staff. He showed us the rooms and communicated in english which was a plus, considering its the only thing we speak. Initially we had decided... more

We actually booked at a different hotel, but due to a computer glitch where our original place got OVERbooked, we and a few other people got shuffled off to other hotels that still had rooms available on this holiday weekend. Hotel Cordova became our site. The room size was reasonable and the room was clean. The mattress was good. We... more

I stayed at the Cordova on a school trip. It was really nice, clean, and the room was faitly large. more
