Hotels in Italy that say they are "Grand" can be disapointing, whilst this one does not have this title, I was very surprised and delighted with this excellent Hotel. It was modern, very clean, with a large bed, and room space, with walk in wardrobe, steam room and superb bathroom. Restaurant food and staff all very good and free wi-fi. The second night as the Hotel was full we had to go to Grand Hotel Bonanno in Pisa, and that was a disaster and explains what I mean by the term "Grand" in Italy. If you are in Pisa for business or leisure choose Abitalia Plaza.

We stayed for two nights in a 'superior' room and were very pleased with the facilities and the cleanliness.

The hotel is at the junction of a busy road but the double glazing effectively keeps the noise out at night.

As always the charge for items in the mini bar was exorbitant so that facility got given a miss.

A, not too pleasant, 10 min walk gets you into Pisa; it takes longer in a Taxi.

We have two negative comments the first was the service for a late lunch in the restaurant - it was obviously too much trouble for the chap in charge. The second was the Wi-Fi which needed constant reconnection - with separate usernames and passwords for each phone this wasted a lot of time. There are RS232 ports in the rooms so take along an airport express and run your own network.

There is a bedside plug for your chargers but you have to get under the bedside table to find it.

On the whole we enjoyed our stay and would use the hotel again if we were I the area.

Booked this hotel for a surprise getaway to Pisa. Read all the reviews on this site and got a bit worried. I have to say, some of them are a bit exaggerated. Yes, the staff doesn’t speak English to well, but they make an effort, which counts for something. Pool area is great, enough sunbeds (but then again it was end of September). We didn’t eat in the restaurant or the bar (because of the reviews)
Rooms were great. We had a suite with tower view. Air-conditioning worked fine although we found a big pool of water underneath it the next morning. It didn’t bother us so we cleaned it up and didn’t mention it to reception. Bathroom was great with two big showers, didn’t miss a bathtub for a second.
Breakfast was very good. Lots of choice both cold and warm dishes with tasty breads and very nice cakes and muffins. The only thing I would say about breakfast is that they didn’t have fresh orange juice. But the one from the machine tasted fine…
Now about the location: I do agree with some of the reviews. We had a rental car and I can only recommend it to anyone booking this hotel (+/-80€ for 4 days with Maggiore Rent for a little Fiat 500 which was the best thing about this whole trip ). The road to the center of Pisa is easy but it’s a busy road and yes at night you do see some prostitutes. But again, that didn’t bother us.
Finally the whole upkeep of the hotel could be a bit better. Lots of weeds growing on the parking lot, a cluttered reception desk, …
All in all we had a great stay. This is not a 5* hotel like the ones we are used to in London or Paris nor does it provide a 5* service. This is more of a 4* hotel but then again they don’t charge you 5* prices either. Plus, go and have a look at the hotels in the center of Pisa… You’ll be very happy you chose this one.

If you have never been to Pisa, I would asume that you are coming to see the tower and the Piazza del Duomo. Since this is all there is to see you won't stay long. This hotel is great for a few nights. It is clean, quiet and well laid out. The main complaint I have is that the restaurant and bar are seperate entities. You can not charge to your room. They will take credit cards and are very helpful. The bar food was very good but I found the Breakfast just OK.
