Hotel Pendini - Florence

Thin walls, old plumbing, weird room layouts, and weird lingering odors. Hearing every detail of your neighbors come home drunk and make love then snore is not fun. On the plus side the breakfast was great. Good central location too.

We were 4 in a room and very comfortable. The tub/shower was small for a family of 6'5 people but plenty of hot water and plush towels. Easy walking to everything and the breakfast was very good. Plentiful, fresh , delicious. Staff helpful and attentive. I would come again.

We stayed at Hotel Pendini just one night, however it will be my hotel of choice when we return to Florence. It is in the most desirable area, close to the best shops and restaurants. The room was not large, nor was the bathroom, however the room was more than adequate. The beds were the most comfortable we stayed in while in Europe for 2 weeks.

Located in the heart of Florence. Near all major landmarks and shopping areas with friendly staff It is an old but well maintained building. Room was small but clean. The only downside was that the view to street was basically next building walls/windows.

I enjoyed it very much as location was perfect for sightseeing then coming back for a break before heading out again.

Excellent hotel and location

Would definitely recommend this hotel...We stayed in Italy for 18 days and stayed in 4 different hotels while traveling to different parts...And this hotel by far was the best. Make sure to request the balcony side of the Piazza Rebuplica...fantastic views of the life of Florence. Just beware that you will hear lots of noise all day long and into the […] night. But we didn't care and slept through the singing most nights because your just exhausted from all the walking you did that day. Great large bathroom! Large room with fantastic views. Would stay there again! Read more

Great location - right in the center of everything. Our room overlooked the square which was very nice. The rooms were very large, very high ceilings with gorgeous artwork painted on them. I think they were still in the middle of some renovations as some areas of the hallways/lobby/etc felt a little unpolished, but overall very nice.

Hotel is in very good location, not far from many sightseeing area, can walk to a lot of place. Not too much of choice of breakfast but all good, coffee was great and the view is fantastic. But the bathroom is bit old and need to update. The view from my room was fantastic, it was facing the square, but I think it is great in winter time and summer […] time may be a bit noisy. The other downside was we find the some of the hotel staffs at the front desk is a bit cold. Not too friendly. Read more

Would not stay here again. Good location, but room smelled of mold and was very noisy. Hotel entrance was hard to find. Do not take stairs to main entrance, have to take the lift. Employees not very helpful and spoke very little English.

The hotel is in the middle of everything! It is surrounded by awesome shops and bakeries.

Hotel Pendini could not have been located in a more perfect location--only a 10 minute walk from the train station and only 5 minutes from Duomo. It's right in Piazza Republica and right in the center of all the night time action. The hotel itself was very quaint and our rooms were spacious. My only compliant was the bathrooms...they were very outdated […] and the shower was just a folding screen door. They were also doing construction during the last day of our stay which was quite hectic around the hotel. The hotel decided to waive our local tax fee because of all the noise which was nice. Would stay again just for the location but hopefully the bathrooms are better next time. Read more

Great location, near the Duomo. We had a great view of the Duomo. Breakfast was pretty good. Rooms are big and clean and staff was very driendly

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Best thing about this hotel is its location. Worst thing is the shower on top of the toilet.All in all, it's very good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Wonderful location, but noisy at night overlooking the piazza. The room needs to have a safe.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff was pleasant and helpful, including housekeeping. The management let us in before check-in time because our room was ready. They also let us keep our luggage in storage after check-out until we needed to leave the city. Breakfast offered a variety of options. We had a large two bedroom suite that had sleeping accommodations for two adults […] and three teenagers. The hotel was quiet at night for a good night sleep, despite being right above a large, busy piazza. We would stay there again if we ever go back to Florence. The price of the room was very reasonable for a family of five and included breakfast. Read more

Wonderful hotel, very clean. The service was outstanding. Carlo arranged a babysitter for us so we could have a nice evening out and he helped arrange a Tuscan tour. The location couldn't be any better, close to just about everything. The Hard Rock Cafe is next door, which makes for a noisy late night, but it didn't bother us.

We had a very nice 2 night stay recently at this hotel in Florence. Would recommend it to a friend.

Great hotel, great staff and location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was ok. The breakfast was good. MY biggest complain was that our room was dumpy and bathroom floor not very clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location was wonderful. Very central to everything including the Duomo and train station. The hotel has a nice quaint Florintine feeling, rooms with very high ceilings and comfortable beds.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were extremely happy with our stay, convenient location, wonderful staff, good value for the price, rooms very large. Only problem was the loud music from the piazza, which was not a fault of the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Loved everything about the Pendini! The staff was charmingly accomodating and knowledgeable. The room was huge, airy and very clean. We much appreciated the soundproof windows for quiet while sleeping. Conversly, we loved to have the windows open during the day in order to enjoy the Piazza! We would go back in an instant!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First night stay was very noisy throughout the entire night- room faced street. After moving to a room facing the courtyard room was quiet and lovely. Breakfast was delicious and location is the best. This was our second stay and we would return when we next visit Florence

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Only there briefly but the service was terrific. The hotel Pendini was better than our tour hotel we moved to.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a good experience. The management was helpful, courteous and competent. A beautiful location in the active heart of Florence.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel felt safe and was conveniently located. Night music in the Piazza below the hotel was a mixed blessing. If you like a variety of music as a low background noise, get a window facing the Piazza. For a quieter stay, request a courtyard- facing room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location was absolutely perfect and close to the major sights. Short walk from the train station, about 15 min. The rooms could use more comfortable pillows, but the beds are nice and the bathroom very clean.

Hotel Pendini was located in the heart of Florence. All major sites were only a couple blocks away in every direction. The piazza outside the hotel was lively during the day and night and there were a ton of great restaurants everywhere around. The duomo was a 2 minute walk!

Genuine Expedia guest review

I really enjoyed the breakfast as well as the welcoming hotel decor.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel is in a perfect location right on piazza republica.and the rooms are ok. the only roblem is the the shower is tiny u could barley fit in there. Also the options for breakfast are very limited. Other than that the hotel is great

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel Pendini was a OK hotel. The rooms were a nice size and were decorated with old styly charm. They are currently under a remodel, which will add a larger, much needed, elevator. The breakfast buffet was well done with several options. The highlight if this hotel is the loction...walking distance from everything.The downside was that there was no […] parking. We had along walk from the public parking, which would have been a problem with large luggage. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very nice and in a very convenient location, but it is on the top floor of a building. The elevator was very small and I am a bit claustrophobic so I walked up and down every time. It was about 100 steps each way. A second elevator was being fixed when we were there which was a glass elevator and a little bigger. We were there in the height […] of the tourist season in August for 2 nights. We had a room for 5, which actually had 2 rooms and a bathroom. I highly recommend that you ask for a room with NO carpet as the hotel is a bit old and the smell of mold and mildew in our room was horrible. We changed our room for the second night, as they were sold out on the first night. The carpet had large holes in it where the doors to the bedrooms and entry scraped the floor. The bathroom smelled of mildew and I had to leave the small window open so my eyes wouldn't burn. I may be over sensitive to the smell, but it was clearly apparent by everyone. The second night was much better but the bathroom was an issue, but we dealt with it because it was only for 1 more night. The woman at the desk, Pamela, was wonderful. She recommended a great restaurant and they really took care of us. The free breakfast was very nice, better than most than I have seen in Europe. It had cheese, fruit, ham, danish, cereal, yogurt, milk, juices, nutella, jam, etc. and a coffee machine to make specialty drinks. The hotel is very pretty and well appointed on that top floor.

I loved the hotel it was great. Had great air conditioner in the room. Walked from train station 10 mins away. Walked from hotel to all attractions and was in a beautiful plaza, great area would highly recomend.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location. Breakfast room layout is bad. Coffee, toast, pastries & juice area were all in the same corner. you have to wait in a long line . construction in the hallway was annoying. customers deserve notification & discounts if they have to put up with construction dust.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Horrible stench from bathroom welcomed us. We had to demand a room change. Staff tried to tell us they could not do anything except for sending someone to clean the bathroom. Cleaning staff seemed to be clueless and untrained. No supplies replenished on day 2 until demanded. Corner cutting at every turn. Even entry way from street was unclean and dusty. […] Awful.

Location was excellent...right off lively Piazza della Repubblica...all sights in downtown Florence within easy walking distance. Front desk staff efficient and very helpful (easy check in/out, great help re car storage, recommended great day trips, etc.). Nice lobby and free computer use. Breakfast quite good. Room was adequate & clean, good bed, good […] bathroom, good air-conditioning, but laminate flooring improperly installed (noisy) and our room had an off/sour smell that even airing out did not completely correct.

The room and bathroom were large and clean. The location was wonderful. There are no cars allowed in this area and you can walk to everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The style of the hotel was charming but the furnishings were old. The bathroom was updated. The elevator was small and the hotel is on the 4th floor. These were minor […] detractions to an overall very nice stay. I would recommend it. Read more

We were renting a car and brought our GPS to find the hotel. Dont do that - instead, get directions from the well-informed help. This would have saved us a lot of headache as driving in town in the evening is a hair-raising experience. We looked all over for a single hotel room that would accommodate 4 people. While most of their rooms do not, Pendini […] added a bed in a large room for us. The air conditioning was cold - important on those 90°+ days. Breakfast was okay - not the best I have had, but not the worst either. With only one single cup at a time coffee maker, there was a queue every day for a cup of joe. The staff was all very helpful and made dinner reservations for us at probably the best restaurant we had the pleasure of dining in while on our 2 week vacation. This hotel is perfectly situated on the edge of the very attractive old town and you can walk to all the major sights in less than 20 minutes. If I ever have a chance to return, I will definitely request one of the top floor rooms with a view of the piazza. Read more

The location of the Hotel Pendini is perfect. It is in the center of Florence and you can walk to everything. The staff was very kind and helpful in every way. We loved the breakfast that was included in the hotel stay! We will stay at the Hotel Pendini again! Great Hotel!

The construction going on made things a little rough. elevator very small,if you had luggage only one at a time,and very slow. large rooms and clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is in an ideal location on Repubblica square within easy walking distance of the historic sites of the city. The rooms have been remodeled and are spacious and comfortable. The housekeeping was excellent and the staff was friendly and worked with us on all of our requests. The only challenge we had was locating the entrance to the hotel.
