I stayed here for one night arriving quite late at night, upon arriving to Pisa train station from pisa airport. We found the bus stop to near the hotel just outside but as it being late i guess, it didnt turn up. So we decided to walk it, It seemed quite a safe area, and was literally a straight road... More

Room was good, Location is good, at a stone throw distance from the leaning tower and the cathedral. But if you have noisy neighbours, you have a problem. It took al long time before the shower eventually produced hot water.

This hostel is very simple but it was a very nice experience to stay there, because all the building was quite typical and pleasant. Our room was small and simple, facing a patio. The bathroom was very clean, but the water pressure was not good. The location of this property is only 50m from the Tower of Pisa and more... More

We booked in for one night, the last night of a lovely fortnight in Italy. We paid €80 so we were expecting a decent room but were disappointed. The bathroom floor was filthy and the soles of my feet were black by the time I had walked from the shower to the bedroom. There were not enough towels. Not having... More

A down-to-earth hotel, modestly displayed on the street. Our only concern was the flight of stairs. There was no elevator, so we had to walk 4 flights of stairs with heavy luggage. We were awestruck to see that we had 9 beds in our room! This was extremely surprising and nice. We were there in the summer--it was extremely hot... More

I've been here before - when it was run by a family that lived on site. It is now run in conjuction with another small hotel nearby. It really is excellent and good value. The room was clean, with a good bed and furniture. We had the cheapest - and shared the bathroom facilities - at least we would have... More

This place had a great location to the Leaning Tower. The room was larger than other hotel rooms in Italy and had a nice ensuite bathroom which was also larger than average. There is no A/C but the ceiling fan does cool down the room. The staff was helpful and there is internet in the main area of the hotel... More

A simple, but very nice and clean room with great atmosphere located i the old part of town. I think the room was recently remodelled. Great wiew over the rooftops. It was nice to take the short walk to the leaning tower.

Just a couple of minutes away from the tower in one direction and a few minutes from markets, shops and restaurants, this is a really convenient location. It's down a bit of a back street, but it was no problem at all. Being a out of season we had to check in at a sister hotel round the corner, which... More
