Excellent location, but very noisy if facing piazza
Pros:

Don’t use Waze to navigate to the hotel! Its route is insane. Strangely, hotel reception is on the fourth floor. There is very loud live music if you’re facing the piazza, all day until midnight every night. Our superior room was large and quite lovely.

Great Location and Wonderful Staff
Pros:

This hotel was really very good and the location excellent. The staff very helpful and kind. We had a deluxe room which was beautiful and large. The only reason I am not giving five stars is that the deluxe rooms sit directly on the piazza and a restaurant directly below our room played live music every night until 1 am keeping us awake.

Pensione Pendini-An Elegant Step Back in Time
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel! It has all the modern comforts one expects, big beautiful bathroom with quality amenities, comfortable bedding, TV, if that’s your thing. But the furnishings in the room and the common areas all evoke times past in an elegant and classic style. It felt like a time warp. The uniformed, professional staff, the upholstered seating area with coffee table books and art display cases, offered a quiet respite from the busy days. ,A coffee, tea and refreshments station is available throughout the day. Fascinating photographs documenting the hotel’s historic past line the hallways. The breakfast offerings were plentiful, varied and delicious set in a light filled breakfast room with ample seating. The location is perfect, on the Piazza della Repubblica. Lots of amazing people watching right there, just a block from the Duomo and the major sites were within easy walking distance. This hotel was just exactly what it had hoped it would be!

Stunning Hotel & Perfect Location
Pros:

My fiancé' and I stayed 3 nights at Hotel Pendini and we couldn't have been happier! The hotel itself is stunning! We had a deluxe room so the window opened up to the piazza. Every night we were treated to hearing live music being played and hearing the buzz from the vibe below. The location is about as perfect as you can get for sightseeing in Florence. You're central to all the best things to see. We are bringing a group of 45 people back next May and have chosen this hotel for our group. Marco at the hotel has been so helpful and professional. Book this hotel and treat yourself to a Deluxe room with the view!

Center of Everything
Pros:

Wonderful stay at the charming - and very historic - Hotel Pendini. We loved the gracious staff, generous breakfast, and lovely room. Could not have asked for more. They held our bags when we arrived early and a few after check out. You can’t beat the central location. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the Duomo, a little longer to the Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Outstanding Hotel in Florence
Pros:

The location of Hotel Pendini is one of the best in the city, in a historic building on a lively piazza, within walking distance to major sites, and taxis easily located if needed. The staff was friendly and helpful. When we arrived early, they stored our luggage and took it to our room when it was ready (early). The room we stayed in was clean and spacious with comfortable beds and all areas of the hotel were clean. The breakfast room was within the arch with a great view, and breakfast options were some of the best we experienced during our time in Italy. We would highly recommend Hotel Pendini!

Location, Helpful staff, Lovely Hotel with Great Breakfast
Pros:

Hotel Pendini is a treasure with an ideal location for walking around Florence. The breakfast was excellent and they have an attentive staff. There is a taxi stand steps away from the hotel entrance. The rooms were small, but very well appointed. We always felt safe in the physical location.
