Comments: Try to take a big room. Small double ones are a little bit ugly, althogh they\'re good enough. The woman in charge was very carefull and helpfull to us. It\'s a very good choice for travelers who doesn\'t have much money.

Comments: Next to the Duomo and 10 mins walk from SMN. This was the best hotel in my Italy trip. Extremely clean shared bathroom. The maid was cleaning every time after someone took the bath. Feel like home. I thought the maid was the owner as she stayed late until 1pm (lockout time) and woke up early morning at 6am for us to check out. Bad things are: hard to find the entrance, no shower after 9:30pm and it is so quiet that if you are looking for fun, maybe you need to find a hostel instead.

Comments: The worst stay I had while in europe, not only is there a curfew at 1a.m. but if you come in at 11pm you still feel guilty because you wake up the one woman working there who is very very "nice." I felt like I was staying at an overprotective aunt's house.

Comments: It was pretty hard to find the place (I would suggest not arriving at night), but once you did, it was in a very convenient location. The beds weren't too comfortable, but they were adequate. They say they provide towels, but they only give small towels (not bath size). Also, be aware that you will need to carry your bags up a few flights of stairs, as there is no elevator. But it's a decent value, still.

Comments: Overall, it is a very good value because the price is reasonable for the very clean and centrally located hostel. It is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and right next to the Duomo. Tina is the lady that runs the place and she is helpful if you need her to give you any tips and she tries to get to know you. The bathrooms are very clean and we didn't have to wait too long for them either. I would def. recommend it.

Comments: Perfect little hotel, and you couldn't ask for a better location unless you were trying to rent out a room in the Duomo. You have to be back by 1:00am and there isn't anything to do in the Hotel... but if that isn't what you are looking for and you want an unbelievable location then this is your hotel.

Comments: A placa de indicação da Pousada é pouco visível. Tive dificuldade de encontrá-la. Há uma campainha ao lado de uma enorme porta de madeira. São 60 degraus para subir até a pousada. Depois disso, as surpresas positivas são gratificantes. A Sra Deleta é bastante receptiva e simpática. Ela fala italiano, claro, além de inglês e francês. Talvez alemão. O local é muito, mas muito limpo e muito bem decorado. A Sra Deleta não aceita cartão de crédito, mas isso não chega a ser um ponto negativo. A principal regra é não retornar para a pousada depois da 1 hora da manhã. Recomendo a Pousada Canadá como o mais requintado ambiente familiar.

Comments: This the perfect place to stay in Florence! The owner is really lovely and helpful! Everything is just a few steps away! The only thing i was a bit annoyed about was why they can't fix the problem with the shower (it almost overflows the whole bath)! But besides that..if you don't need a TV it's perfect! I highly recommend Pensione Canada

Comments: The location of this place is unbeatable... but I don't know if that is enough to outweigh the fact that there is no lift and no AC. And the shower is small even by European standards. I will not return to this hotel.

Comments: Pensione Canada was a great place to stay! The location was amazing, just a few minutes walk to the Basillica, awesome shopping and heaps of great restaurants. The staff were excellent, showing us where everything was on arrival and although we had a shared bathroom, it was cleaned after each use. Amazingly clean! Breakfast wasnt included unfortunately but still couldn't recommend this place enough! Thanks heaps for a great stay!

Comments: This hostel is in the perfect location for touring Florence; all the sights were in walking distance and the area felt very safe. If possible ask for one of the rooms that doesnt face the street because it is pretty noisy, especially if you want to keep the window open at night... which you will because it gets incredibly hot and there is no AC. The owners are very friendly and hospitable

Comments: Both the owner and the woman who works there during the day are really friendly and welcoming. The room was really clean, our beds were made every day, and the bathroom was also very clean. The location is great and very central, and it was actually very quiet considering that it's right down by the duomo and all the tourists. The only downsides were that breakfast wasn't offered and there is a 1 o'clock curfew - but neither of these turned out to be a big deal for us. Definitely somewhere I would stay again!

Comments: A cute place in a SUPER convenient area to attractions and nightlife while not being noisy at all! It also had the cleanest bathroom that is maintained by the owner and her mother. The downside is the 9:30 pm shower curfew, which causes a morning line

Comments: Great place, especially for girls! Super safe, located on abusy tourist street, close to bargain shopping and the main attraction- the duomo! Super nice and spacious rooms, and can't say enough nice things about the woman who runs it! Only downside is the 1 am curfew, but other than that, highly highly recommend!!! p.s. be prepared for an huge staircase before you reach the hotel...its quite the treck up, but well worth it! pack light :-)
