Pensione Canada

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.

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.

Conveniently located and easy to find. Rooms were basic but quiet and very clean.

Lovely little hotel. no bar/restaurant etc but just a cosy, clean safe nice place to saty.

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!

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

Lady working there is not at all accommodating and would leave you out on the streets if it suited her. Very awkward system of having to leave your key and buzz back in each time. You are at her mercy.

Very good location, the rooms are large and comfortable, best value for money, the owner is pleasant.

Very secure location right near all tourist attractions. Easy walk from train station (10 minutes). Easy walk to Uffuzi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio etc. Two issues: there is no Wi-fi and the street below is noisy. The shutters don't completely block out the noise and my husband had to resort to earplugs. Florence has wi-fi available near tourist sites but I wanted it in the hotel and was disappointed they didn't have it.

The only thing that I could say about pensione Canada, is that someone broke one of the suitcase lock, and stole some souvenirs, and also a memory card with some memories of our travel in Europe. I share my trip photos because I don't have.
