Boy, are y'all screwed up on this one. First, apension is a regular payment to a person that is intended to allow them to subsist without working.

The word for lodging ispensione. Even if the word is anglicized to "pension" it certainly is NOT within the scope of architecture. Read the definition for heaven's sake.Dangnad (talk)22:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"This is NOT architecture-related and the correct spelling is pensione, see talk."

From what I can gather off dictionary sites, the correct spelling in English ispension notpensione (regardless,pensione links to this article). I agree with this not being architecture related.Danshil (talk)23:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the definition given in the article and on quotes like this: "Pensions are the rough equivalent to bed-and-breakfast hotels on the European continent." - www.artoftravel.com, I think this article should be merged with B&B. --Kevlar(talk •contribs)04:24, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the proposed merger (and a note thatpension etc. is the word in some langauges for B&B).Doremo (talk)19:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree. I lived in Europe, and stayed in pensiones, and they are not the same thing as bed-and-breakfasts. They are only the same in that you get breakfast with your lodging, and in that they can be family owned. These are trivial matters compared to what it feels like to stay in a pensione verses a bed-and-breakfast. A pensione can look like a hotel. For all intents and purposes, it is a small European hotel. It rarely has a concierge (I never encountered a pensione with one), and the staff usually includes the owners. But the big difference is the "feel" of the pensione. They have a more intimate and personal feel than typical hotels, but are not like staying in a bed-and-breakfast, which is more home-like. Pensione are a distinctly European phenomenon. Let's allow some differences to continue to exist!Bkirchoff (talk)12:21, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A pension is most certainly not the same as a bed & breakfast. The main difference is that while the only meal that bed & breakfasts offer is breakfast, pensions — at the request of their guests — also serve dinner (half pension) and even lunch (full pension). I thereforeoppose the merger. -TaalVerbeteraar (talk)16:57, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
