“Nice hotel, and reasonably cheap”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

Very handy for the A11/A12 and the airport, so great if driving and looking to stop off before getting a plane the next day. Very large car park too.
Staff are really nice and welcoming, and very helpful if you need advice. All spoke really good English, so this is a handy hotel if you don't speak Italian. The hotel is also a short drive, or about a 15 minute walk to the leaning tower, though this is through an underpass which may spook some people late at night. The main area of Pisa is another 10 minutes walk from the tower, so although the hotel is on the outskirts, nothing is particularly far away.
Other plus side was that breakfast was really good - usual buffet breakfast, but well above the average even though the fruit juice machine dispensed surprisingly low quality juice.
Only down side, the bar didn't have any Italian beer - just Becks, though they did say they had sold out due to the conference which was on that day, who all seemed to be dining in the hotel.

In Summary, great place to stay, easy option if you have a car, and best of all, if it's a rental as there are two petrol stations round the corner on the SS1 (Strada Statale 1 Aurelia), so you can fill up before dropping off your rental car.

Finally, if you do stay here, make an effort to go and look at the leaning tower - it's pretty awesome, and leans far more than you imagine.

Thank you for sharing with us his experience at the Tower Plaza, his comments are important to us.
We are very happy with the fact that you got to enjoy our service, but also the place of the staff. We believe that it is in the service attentive to detail that you can recognize the true luxury of a hotel.
Our commitment is designed to bring to life for our guests an unforgettable stay.
As for location, the hotel has a fantastic view, unique in the world, as also will have noticed we have a bike rental service / electric car / auto, through which you can reach in 10 minutes the Tower of Pisa, the center, the heart of the city. The distance from the Tower of Pisa, then from the center, walking is really not much.
The road under pass that leads to the Tower mortifies and there is a battle that we are fighting every day urging council we want to reaffirm our commitment to fight the phenomenon and to find better solutions.

With regard to the various beer brands are available to us, that day our bar / restaurant was literally taken 's sunny and stocks were exhausted.
Thanks anyway for sharing his comments, and positive feedback, the wait again as our welcome guest!

“Very pleasant surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

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.

“Mostly great.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012 via mobile

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.

Sorry for the two points you have mentioned as negative, or a slow connection to the wi fy (due to other network problems and dictated by the bad weather conditions) the long wait for the restaurant and room service. We will understand the reason for this inefficiency and work so that this does not happen again with other customers Thanks anyway for sharing his comments, and positive feedback, the wait again as our welcome guest!

“You get what you pay for”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

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.

Room Tip: Request a tower view room.

“An OK hotel in Pisa.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

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.

Room Tip: Away from the front driveway, even though these are the rooms with the balconys.
