The difference between hostels, pensions and hotels has to do with the amenities they offer. The less expensive choices tend to have fewer services and amenities. Almost all of our accommodations are within 5 - 15 minutes walking distance to the classroom and some of the accommodations are on the site of the classroom.
Please be aware that not all hotels in Europe have handicap access. If you have concerns about walking, the availability of elevators or need special accommodations, the workshops located in the U.S. may be more appropriate.

Hostels
Hostels are no frills places in which you often have to share bathrooms and showers, although you will see that some of our hostels offer private rooms and private bathrooms. Hostels often offer the opportunity to meet fellow travelers from all over the world. Hostels usually do not have phones, TV, or A/C in the rooms though their public rooms usually have phones and sometimes Internet access and TV. It is imperative that you arrive before 7 PM at the hostel in Florence to get checked in for the first night.

Pensions
Pensions are a step up in the accommodations world. They are often small, family run affairs. There may be some language challenges between you and the management as some do not speak English.

Hotels
Hotels (standard and superior) usually have A/C, in-room phones, and various other services. You’ll want to check each of our listings for what the hotels offer. There is a big difference in the luxury factor between standard and superior hotels, though both will typically have English speaking attendants, A/C, and telephones in the rooms.
