A cool, clean haven from the heat and bustle of a busy summer in Florence.
Pros:

Our one-night stay at Hotel Pendini was the perfect way to end our holiday. We were a party of eight — two families staying across two family rooms — and everything about our stay was wonderful.

The rooms were cool, spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. We had a lovely view over the piazza, which meant we could enjoy the atmosphere and listen to the buzz of the city below. The lady who welcomed us at reception was a particularly calm and reassuring presence — a lovely contrast to the heat and bustle outside. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, especially the lady who made us cappuccinos decorated with little chocolate smiley faces. Such a thoughtful touch!

We also loved the photographs displayed along the route to the communal seating area. They offered a fascinating glimpse into the history of the hotel and gave the whole place a real sense of character.

The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Florence and within easy reach of all the major sights. We arrived with a large car, which was taken away and parked for us, then brought back at exactly the right time for our departure. This made leaving for the airport so much easier and far less stressful than it could have been.

Hotel Pendini was a real highlight of our stay, and I would happily visit again. Highly recommended!

Cons:

Coffee and tea facilities in our rooms would have been nice, but we were able to get some from reception - plus biscuits!

Wonderful, would stay again
Pros:

The rooms were spacious and lovely. Clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. They stored our luggage for us while we roamed around Florence. They also helped us get into our room earlier than the usual check in time. The breakfast buffet was amazing. Lots of options and aesthetic. It also is walking distance from the heart of Florence. It is right near the square with the carousel. Walking distance from the river, Ponte Vecchio, duomo, galleria del accademia, etc. The air conditioning in the July heat wave we experienced was heavenly. We stayed two nights about 4 days apart and had a great experience.

Cons:

The only downside I’d say is that the bathroom for our one room with the twin beds was extremely small. The other bathroom was much more spacious but this one was uncomfortably tight (and I’m a smaller person). Other than that, I have no complaints.

Disappointing stay, not worth the price
Pros:

Spacious and clean room. Great view over Piazza Della Republicca. Central location. Antique furniture gave character.

Cons:

We booked a Deluxe Double Room for the final few nights of our European holiday. We were especially excited to stay in Florence and celebrate our engagement, so unfortunately this stay was a pretty big letdown.

If you value a peaceful night’s sleep, do not book this room. The piazza next to the hotel has ‘Caffè Concerto’, which hosts live music every night until around 1am. The noise is incredibly loud and makes it very difficult to fall asleep. Paying a premium for a room where you have to compete with a live concert until 1am is not exactly the luxury experience we had in mind.

And just when the music finally stops, the breakfast room upstairs starts its morning shift. Our room was directly underneath the breakfast room, and the soundproofing is basically non-existent. Every bit of movement upstairs could be heard from our room downstairs, chairs being moved, footsteps, furniture being shifted, and pretty much anything else happening up there. At around 6:30am, staff began setting up breakfast, which meant an early-morning symphony of chairs scraping, footsteps and our chandelier rattling.

The breakfast room itself is far too small for the number of guests. When it fills up, you have to line up and wait for a table. The Wi-Fi was also terrible, painfully slow and hardly what you’d expect from a hotel at this price point.

The positives are the clean, spacious room, the character of the antique furnishings and the excellent location/view. But unfortunately, those things don’t make up for the noise, lack of sleep, cramped breakfast setup and awful Wi-Fi.

Overall, not worth the price. Florence was beautiful, our engagement was worth celebrating, but this hotel certainly didn’t help us get much sleep while doing it. At this price point, we expected a lot more, preferably a room where the entertainment ends before bedtime and the breakfast room doesn’t double as an alarm clock.

Uma escolha perfeita para Florença
Pros:

A localização é imbatível. O hotel era super charmoso, cheio de história. Os quartos são confortáveis, com boa cama e almofadas. O ar condicionado funciona muito bem e de forma silenciosa. O pessoal é muito simpático e prestável. Acho que a melhor crítica que posso fazer é dizer que voltaria a ficar neste hotel.

Cons:

Tudo era ótimo. Como é muito central, ouve-se algum ruído da rua, mas nada extraordinário.

Lovely friendly central hotel.
Pros:

Lovely calm friendly hotel in a perfect location. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast had a good choice of food. Surrounding public rooms were very well planned, comfortable and roomy. Bedroom was thoughtfully decorated with good air conditioning and a lovely powerful shower.

Cons:

As a 3 star hotel I don't think they could have done anything any better.

Tolle Lage für einen Städtetrip in Florenz
Pros:

Zentrale Lage ist top. Fußläufig alles erreichbar.
Sehr gute Klimatisierung der Räume bei 41°C Außentemperatur.
Frühstücksbuffet reichlich für einen guten Start in den Tag

Cons:

Öffentlicher Zugang in das Haus - Rezeption ist im 4. Stock.
Aber hat der Sicherheitgefühl jetzt keinen Abbruch getan.
Etwas mehr Informtionen wenn man mit dem Auto anreist, dass man in die ZTL zufahren darf und sich das Hotel um die Berechtigung kümmert.
28€ pro Tag fürs Parken - Florence like :-)
