The people were really nice and the location was excellent, great view, very clean room and bathroom. Only slightly odd thing was that the double bed was two single mattresses put together.

Great stay in the city center

Really friendly staff who made us feel welcomed during our stay. The hotel is nice and our room was very spacious and had a great view of Gioto's bell tower. Just take in account that it's in an old building, so there is no lift, but its only a couple of flights of stairs.

Great location, very clean

We loved our stay here and would stay again if we ever came back to Florence. The location was perfect. It was easy to find and walk to from the train station, the duomo is literally just down the road. There are shops/markets/supermarket all close by. We didn't take any public transport and walked everywhere, it was great. We went for the shared bathroom option but also having our own sink in our room which I would suggest if you are going for the shared bathroom option. The room was big and very clean. The shared bathroom was clean and didn't really have to wait much for it to be available. After reading the reviews we were prepared to expect: no wifi (we had data on our phone anyway), no air con but there is a fan which was fine for us (we stayed in August and it was hot), lots of stairs to get up and take your suitcase, 1am curfew, no tv but we were hardly there, some noise from the street but to be expected being that close in the city, you have to pay cash and hand the keys to her when you leave each day but we found this safe, they have cameras around as well so felt safe being here. I'd recommend this place!

at the heart of historic Florence

Great location: Duomo is just around the corner, less than 10min walk to train station, 5-7 min to Accademia, Palazzo Vechio, Ufizzi. Safe neighborhood, super clean hotel and room! I walked barefooted-- it is so clean! Shared bathroom was not a problem, never crowded, never a line (one BR for 3 rooms). Shower cabin is small, but on the 3rd day you get used to it!Towels and soap/shower gel provided. 1am curfew didn't bother me. What I would really appreciate: WiFi and coffee maker in the room ( lack of those 2 things was somewhat uncomfortable). However, there is WIFI just downstairs next door restaurant and nice coffee shop just across the street at the corner. Overall, nice place!

Florence Travels

Admittedly my wife and l were somewhat apprehensive as we ascended 2 flights of concrete stairs although it went away as we entered the common area and we're greeted by a very welcoming host. We immediately noticed that our room and it's bathroom were a good size and very clean. In terms of a Pensione this hotel is excellent. It is located in the heart of the tourist area. My wish list would be for the management to install a quality WiFi system as even data access is very poor within the hotel. Some travelers may prefer TVS in the rooms.

Excellent stay

Hostess was wonderful, frendly and always ready to help. Prime location, downtown, just few meters from Duomo. We got a room with private bathroom recently renovated. The room was recently painted and had a window facing an internal mini-court, very quiet. The room was spacious but sparsly furnished. Shower drain did not work well. Overall and excellent stay.

Not if you like to sleep

Location is great, right around the corner from the Duomo, BUT noisy ALL night long with restaurants and drunks in the street to all hours. The first night they also decided to pump septic tanks all along the street starting at 4 AM. Smell and noise was atrocious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We had a very nice stay in Florence. The woman who ran the Hotel was nice enough but a very controlling person. She ran it more like a kid hostel. You had to buzz to get in, give your key to her to leave. If you wanted to come and go you felt as if it was a big bother to her. She was a bit irritable.

Daycare for adults!

This was legitimately the closest experience to jail I ever had. There is a 1 am curfew which if you don't meet, you sleep on the street. You aren't allowed to take your key outside, so why even issue keys if they are taken the second youn walk outside. The room smelt putrid and was drab and uncomfortable. But the real kicker...NO WIFI. I don't know how it's possible but there was no wifi which made planning a nightmare. The owner spends her time monitoring the activities of every guest which I might add was only one other person, but offers no real services. Spend a little extra and book elsewhere it will change the way you see Florence. This place drains energy.

Elizabeth, Jackson, WY

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Clean, inexpensive, central nightlife.

The room was the cleanest I've ever stayed in. The location is great because it is right by the duomo so you are close to everything but it is very noisy. People waking the streets all hours of the night and shops start opening at 6/7am so very little actual quiet time (4 hours max). Andrea was wonderful, very sweet. I was not aware there was a curfew so that was a bit surprising, and there are restricted hours on when you can use the shared shower. Other than that our stay was great. Again I can't stress how CLEAN this place was! If you want to be right in the action, you can't beat Hotel Pensione Canada do location and price!

Very clean and central

Really nice pensione. Easy to find and really close to the centre + train station. As long as you don't want to be out all night (curfew) I would definitely recommend
