Hotel Pendini - Florence

Situation très centrale. Accueil aimable. Parking loin de l'hôtel (prévoir au moins 30 mn pour que l'on vous apporte votre voiture). Couloir bruyant et petit-déjeûner insatisfaisant.

While Florence is not a big city and walking everywhere is pretty easy, the Pendini is located in the heart of everything. Only blocks from Santa Maria Novella train station, the Duomo and Baptistry, the Piazza Repubblica is always abuzz with activity. The only drawback is the noise at night. The hotel is close to nightclubs that close between 3 and […] 4 am so noise is a factor. Other than that, everyone was so nice and hospitable and breakfast was a good way to start the day.

Hotel Pendini is in a great location. About 2 min from the Duomo, and a ten minute walk from the train station. Very safe neighborhood. The lobby is clean, and the breakfast was pretty good. Our room was much different from hotel.com's description. For one, there was no safe in the room, and it did not look out into the plaza. The bathroom door would […] not close, but the bed was clean and comfortable. Lisez la suite

This hotel was a great find for the price. The piazza was right out our window so the location is perfect. Just bring earplugs! The activity in Florence goes on all night. There was an opera singer right out our window, but the earplugs are for the street noise when you finally try to get some sleep. We had a street view which was great, but noisy. […] There was a sitting room, bath, and bedroom for the price, and it included breakfast which you could eat looking out at the city. For the price, this hotel can't be beat. Take a taxi though as parking a car cost E30 per day and the streets of Florence are impossible to navigate, even with a GPS. Lisez la suite

Thought the rates were reasonable considering the super location. Really loved sitting by the window at breakfast - beautiful setting! Just felt like we were in the middle of everything. And the room was comfortable, too. Opera singer right outside our window - only a problem if you need to retire early and you want the window open.

An excellent hotel in terms of central location to everything you want to see--walking distance from the train station, the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Central Market . . . everything! Because you are on the Plaza Republica, there is always something going on just outside your door. The hotel is in the top two floors of an historic building that has been […] beautifully kept up. The desk staff was fluent in english and always pleasant and helpful. There was truly FREE internet and wifi--a rarity in Italy--and it was fast. The rooms are simple but comfortable, clean, and beautiful with high ceilings and large windows. The dining area for breakfast was also beautiful and the continental breakfast was the best we had in our two-week trip. There was also a charming sitting area to read. Because we were there in off-season, our rate was very reasonable especially when you consider that it included breakfast and internet. My ONLY two comments that could be seen as negative are: (1) The room's shower enclosure was TINY! I weigh 160lbs, and I could hardly turn around in it. I don't know if this was true of all the rooms. (2) The elevator (which you will need to take to avoid the 124 steps up to the reception desk on the 4th floor) is also TINY--my wife and I and our two suitcases barely fit. That said, these are really the only two detracting things that I have to say about this great hotel. If you are looking for authentic charm and a great central location, this is it! Lisez la suite

Loved this hotel. Very charming and European but not for those looking for a modern hotel. Location and price are fabulous. Employees were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends.

This hotel amazes me. To me, it seems like a 4 star quality hotel when you consider the fabulous decor, the extremely beautiful view out of the windows and the location. 1 block from leather market, 2 blocks from bars and restaurants, sitting ON the piazza with view of duomo. Amazing. And all that for the price of a 2 star? ridiculous. The only advice […] I can give is that if you prefer to have a total quiet night, you'll probably want to request a room that's not on the piazza. The bars and restaurants play loud music into the wee hours and I could see it driving someone crazy. Not me, though! Lastly, do note that the walls are thin. So, other's may hear you talking and you'll need to take off your heels if walking down the wooden cooridors at night. Fantastic hotel! Lisez la suite

Location, Location, Location and a great price. You have to say this mantra when you stay here. The shower is so small its hard to fit in. The lighting is dim, the rooms have a slight odor and there is no safe in the room and the safe at the office is on a trust basis. BUT Its a great location, the service is wonderful, there is a bed with no bugs, […] breakfast is included and there is free WiFi. So bring your own shampoo and enjoy the area. If you get lucky you might even get a window overlooking the plaza. Lisez la suite

The location of Pendini is great, walking distance from the train station and all major sights. Not happy with the hotel itself. Rooms are very outdated, our bathroom smelled and water in the shower would not drain properly. The elevator in tiny, we had to make four trips to get all our bags to the 4th floor where reception is located. Service was just […] OK, nothing to brag about. Lisez la suite

The room was more than adequete, the bathroom at bit odd. Breakfast was wonderful. The location was amazing - we were there on New Years Eve and the piazza near the hotel was such a great place to be. I would definitely stay there again.

the location was perfect for all the sites and good restaruants are minutes away. The staff was superb. We had a great stay.

Located right on (or off, depending on which room you get) the Piazza de la Reppublica, this hotel is central to everything you'd want to do in Florence, which is a very walkable city. Very clean rooms, excellent breakfast included; very helpful front desk. It was cold outside, but very comfortable in the room and common areas. Really, no complaints […] at all, and I would stay here again. Lisez la suite

We stayed at Hotel Pendini for just one night when we took a brief overnight trip from Rome to Florence to see the big church there. The hotel is situated on a main square within only a few blocks of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Medici Chapels, and the Accademia (where the famous Michaelangelo's David resides). It is also walking distance […] to the main train station. The hotel has been around for at least a century, so they are working with an existing old building. Our room was dated and had kind of grundgy wallpaper, though we had a flat screen TV. The bathroom was small, but clean, though it only had a small lightbulb that hardly illuminated anything. I like a firm bed, so the beds were good for me, though my wife would have liked a softer bed. For the amount we paid it was not bad for one night, but I would recommend a different hotel for a longer stay. Lisez la suite

Located right on a major piazza the hotel was very close to all the major sites and shopping areas. The entrance is a bit tricky to find and we walked right by it the first time and had to ask where it was. The elevator is a bit cramped for 2 people with luggage but manageable.

beautiful place, view into piazza was beautiful....loved it hear....music at night....so nice....

Not luxury amenities but nothing that is below par either, and the location is great. Perfectly good place to stay for the location and price.

walking distance from several of the trourist areas and close to the train station.

Perfect location, great hotel, nice,friendly staff, great breakfast!

Excellent location and easy to find. The hotel lobby is actually on the fourth floor of the building. Our room was small with no view but had lots of noise from the adjoining rooms. There was mold in the shower that the staff was unable to remove. The room was inexpensive so you get what you pay for. If you're only interested in having a place to sleep […] this hotel will do. Lisez la suite

Right on a big plaza with several nearby restaurants and within walking distance to many of the best sights. Bathrooms are less than desirable, with the shower literally on top of the toilet. But staff is very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great.

Has a lot of charm, perfect location to walk to everything! The only downside is the room was small and bathroom is extremely small even for European standards. I would stay again if only for a night or two!

This was the best hotel I stayed at in my 14 day trip to Italy, It was a great location, near evrything, the staff is absolutely superb! They are very knowledgeable and very friendly. The room was great, very roomy especially for Europe, clean, had a few english stations on the tele. The breakfast buffet was laid out beautifully. Plus had good coffee, […] can completely say this from many of the places we visited and tried at stores. The shower door was a little tricky, but not bad. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Florence. It was perfect. Lisez la suite

We loved this hotel, it was located in an amazing square...for the younger crowd you will recognize it from all the clips off of Jersey Shore! You can ride the carousel you see every episode. It is directly outside of the hotel, along with wonderful restaurants, shops and ambience. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. It is what most North Americans […] think of when they think of Italy. Lisez la suite

The best hotel have ever chose excellent room with fantastic view. This is the first time I wrote a review but I am feeling I must write something as I liked the Brel very much. First the room was very big with one double bed , one single bed and a large sofa. The bathroom is good and the shower is excellent. The view from my room is outstanding where […] I cane see the dome and the republic square and the old city. The hotel itself comes in a historical and beautiful building. The breakfast buffet is very good and generous. The location is fantastic where you can visit the old city on foot and the dumo is just 5 minutes walk . The shops around the hotels where you find Ferrari store, gucci , Hugo boss and many others. Excellent value for money . The train station is 10 minutes walk. Lisez la suite

We loved Hotel Pendini! The hotel is in a great location in a fun Piazza and the view from our window was amazing! The rooms had high ceilings, were very spacious (our most spacious of all the rooms we stayed in in Italy), and decorated very richly. The hotel staff was very accomodating and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and there was so much to choose […] from. My ONLY complaint was that our room was directly overlooking the Piazza, and there was live entertainment every night (even weeknights) until 1 a.m. We could hear it very clearly in our room. It wasnt really a big deal because we were out walking the beautiful streets of Florence and the music did stop at 1. Our stay at Hotel Pendini was great overall and would recommend it to anyone!!! (Maybe request a room away from the windows facing the Piazza!!) Enjoy! Lisez la suite

Great location, short walks to most Florence attractions (Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Pitti Palace, Uffizi, etc.). The main train station (SMN) is also reachable on foot. Located in a large square with plenty of restaurants and shops. Good unlimited breakfast. Friendly staff, spoke good English. Large room, comfortable bed. AC was cold but also noisy and […] woke me up a few times at night. Smoke alarm status LED flashed a bit too brightly at night. Our room was located atop a narrow flight of spiral stairs, and inaccessible by elevator -- fortunately we were travelling light. Lisez la suite

It's clear that this was once a very fancy hotel but the current condition is becoming subpar. Lots of chipped paint, wallpaper coming off, etc. Location very good, but difficult to find. Make sure you know how to find it, as it's not very clearly marked. Internet did not work in our room - we had to go to the reception area on another floor in order […] to use it. Friendly staff that speaks English. Thin walls. We were in a room that connected to another one and we could hear literally everything they said and every time someone shut a door. Decent hotel for the money. Lisez la suite

Super hotel, close to everything. Nice big room, high ceiling. Suited our family very well. Would go back.

The room is bigger compare to the ones in Rome or in Napoli.Perfect location.

Hotel Pendini in Florence Italy was amazing. Great location, large room, and best of all air conditioning. Staff was very nice and family friendly and we would stay there again.

Very comfortable room for 4 of us. 2 adults and 2 children (ages 13 and 10). The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was good. I would recommend this hotel.

By far one of the top locations in Florence, central to everything, in the Piazza della Republica that is the grandest of them all. The hotel is one of the oldest and most elegant, with beautiful guest rooms and beautiful amenities. Almost all of the guest rooms have renovated bathrooms, the last of which are to be completed soon.

Although the location of the hotel was lovely, the hotel and our room especially looked like something out of the The Shining. The wallpaper in our room as peeling off and it appeared like it had not been refurbished for at least 50 years. We were not able to sleep comfortably for fear of being attacked, not just because of our room, but because we […] were given a skeleton key when they were not able to give us our own key (who else did they give one too????). Would not recommend this hotel unless your really want this location and no other options are available. Lisez la suite

Would recommend the hotel, directly on the square, walking distance to all sights. Found the hotel staff friendly and accommodating. Free wifi, excellent breakfast. What more could you ask for :)

The location can't be better. It's in the midst of a charming shopping district, right next to a lively plazza, and very close to both the central train station and the Duomo. The hotel is very charming, with high ceilings, wooden floors, and wide staircases. The rooms are unpretentious and neatly decorated. Breakfast was good. The only drawback is […] that noises travel in this older building, from people talking in the hallways, people closing doors, and water traveling in the pipes. Lisez la suite

We were thrilled with the location of Hotel Pendini when we visited Florence with our children. Overlooking the Piazza Republicca with nice restaurants and places to sip wine while the kids played and enjoyed the ambience was terrific. The rooms were clean, comfortable and air-conditioned. It was very close to the Duomo and easy walk to the Uffizzi […] Gallery and Ponte Vecchio. Lisez la suite

I've traveled to Italy at least seven times. This hotel is absolutely perfect in location, in service, in room cleanliness, and ease of getting to and from the local airport, the SMN train station and the local tourist points of interest. The staff (especially Regina) handles a high level of traffic checking in and asking questions with a smile on her […] face, using very good English and always very, very patient. The breakfast was also very, very good. I would highly recommend this hotel. Lisez la suite

I have stayed at the Pendini about 20 times, but not since 2000, when I retired and no longer visited Florence every year or two. This time I was traveling with my grandson, age 17, who has an interest in art history. I noticed several changes, all of them positive. To start with, a new elevator brought us up to the reception. Central air conditioning […] extended throughout the hotel, including the public areas. And the breakfasts offered the same excellent food with a greater variety: meats, more cheeses, and fresh fruits. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, and I was happy to see that a couple of old friends from pre-retirement days were still working there. We had two maintenance issues, both of which were dealt with promptly and satisfactorily. Overall, the Pendini continues to offer an excellent option for a visit to Florence. The rooms and public spaces are comfortable and the breakfasts are fine. The price is reasonable for Florence in the high season. And its location is unbeatable for convenience to sightseeing, dining, and shopping. Lisez la suite

For a good basic hotel with an excellent location, we recommend the Pendini Hotel. Right off the Piazza della Republica made it easy to go back to the room to rest during the day and escape the heat. The room was clean with air conditioning. Staff were helpful and friendly with a good restaurant recommendation. The breakfast included fruit and basic […] choices. We were glad to have a street view from the window in our room to catch the parade that went by! We will definitely consider staying there again. Lisez la suite

This was a very nice and clean hotel close to everything. The down fall was the staff at the recaption desk. They were very unfriendly and acted like they could care less if we were there or not. This was the top hotel I stayed in while in Italy, the only thing to make it better is to hire people who are friendly and helpful.

Very nice hotel in convenient location at reasonable price. Can be hard to locate as entrance is not well marked. Hotel is located on 4th floor thankfully there was a tiny elevator to get us up. Good European breakfast although busboys bring dishes to dining room used guest hallways. The rattling of the dishes woke us up very early. Rooms were small […] but very adequate. A/C worked fine and plenty of hot water although bathrooms were small. There was no safe in the room. Free Internet was nice. All and all was a nice stay. Lisez la suite
