“Ok if you get a good rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012 via mobile

We stayed here on arrival and before our departure from Pisa airport.

Firstly the plus points:
Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is perfectly situated for both train station (10 mins on foot) airport (15 minute taxi ride) and the leaning tower (20 minutes on foot). Good selection at breakfast, free wifi is a bonus and certainly try the pillow menu.

Downside:
Expensive if you don't get a discounted rate for what is a basic hotel, certainly not 4*. Rooms clean but a bit dated, tiled floors in corridors and hard floors in rooms along with thin walls mean it can be very noisy. One evening we had no noise but the last evening we got no more than two hours sleep due to noise which was other guests at the hotel.

So a mixed review for me, some good aspects but some that need a mention

“An enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We visited Pisa for 3 nights last month and were happy to have found this hotel. The location and previous reviews were the reasons we chose to stay there and it turned out to be just what we wanted. We arrived at the airport late at night so got a Taxi to the hotel (2 +Luggage = 16.5 Euro). The Hotel does operate a shuttle to airport and station up to 9pm and if you book directly with the Hotel this service is free otherwise 4 Euro per person. When taking a rail journey it took us just 8 mins to walk down the straight road to the Central Rail station.
The reception staff we dealt with were helpful with all requests. We asked for a quiet room and were given room 14 which was right at the back away from street and car park, and certainly gave us a good night’s sleep. Although on the other side of the river to the Tower etc. everything is in easy walking distance and the main pedestrian shopping street is on the next block. We certainly enjoyed our breakfasts which set us up for the days sightseeing. We would be happy to stay again if visiting Pisa.

“Ideal Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

Chose this hotel by looking on TA and were delighted, a few minutes from the airport but were charged for what we thought was a free transfer. Lovely room small but tastefully decorated and well equiped. Free Wi-Fi was also a big plus. Lovely terrace to sit out on.

“Very clean, well appointed, spacious room, easy access to airport, train station, and town centre”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

We stayed here in a Quadruple room (2 adults and 2 children) in October. The room was very spacious, clean, modern, and very well laid out. The main bedroom was the room you enter from the entrance door, with the bathroom adjacent to the main room. On the opposite side of the room was the entrance to the second sleeping area which was a long narrow room, but perfect for the two single beds arranged length ways in the room. All together the sleeping areas were perfect for us for our overnight stay having flown in from the airport close to the kids bedtime, and the airport was 5 minutes by shuttle / taxi. The hotel offers the shuttle service free if you book the room directly with the hotel. If you book through a 3rd party such as booking.com then the service is not free, but a taxi from the airport for us cost 8 Euros as it is quite close.
Service was very good, and the breakfast also offered a very good selection.
Not cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

“Wife’s surprise 40th birthday treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Had a two night stay here for my wife’s surprise 40th birthday treat. Well I certainly earned my brownie points. We had a great time. Lovely hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Nice touches like the birthday letter with chocolates and two free glasses of Proseco just made for one of the best times. Will certainly be staying there again.
Big choice of breakfasts, free nibbles in the evening at seven went down really well with a drink before going out for dinner. The barman was great and poured a generous drink and a very tasty cocktail.

Room Tip: We were in a double room, number 201 and would happily have it again.
