On the whole we think the hotel provided good value for money. The room was ok, although we did get a lot of mosquito bites ( no air con). The pool was nice, as the hotel was only a quarter full. The breakfast was ok, but could be improved (poor juice, coffee, croissants), and exactly the same choice every day. The hotel staff were helpful.

We were a bit disappointed with Tirrenia. Not a lot of restaurants, and expensive. The restaurants need to provide more tourist menus at set prices. We only managed to find one, 15 euros for 2 courses (whereas in Florence and Pisa you can get set menu from 10/12 euros). We had trouble finding a supermarket, but eventually found just one.
You have to take bus to Pisa (30-35mins, fare 2.30 euros each way) in order to see other places (Florence, Lucca, Viarregio, etc).
You cannot take a bus along the coast direct to Viarregio etc, you can only go to Pisa one way, or Livorno the other.

After realising that the weather over half term looked terrible in England, I decided to have a quick look on Easyjet holidays and came across this place. I checked the reviews and decided a bit of 80's decor didn't really matter, what mattered was a bit of sun, a pool for our 6 year old and an easy and quick flight from Bristol.

When we arrived at 10pm The reception staff were welcoming and kind. The room was spotless and just as expected. The breakfast lets the hotel down which is a shame, but a quick trip to the supermarket meant we could miss breakfast if we wished. The pool was wonderful, warm enough and not another soul around. Our son spent many hours leaping in and out - although it was too deep for him to stand up in. The beach is actually a 10 - 15 minute walk away and is around 8euro a sunbed. However the free beach is perfect, just buy a cheap umbrella and away you go!
It was remarkably cheap to get to Pisa on a 20min bus - €2.30 return and free child. The leaning tower only takes children 8yrs and older though,something that we learnt whilst in the queue!

The local restaurants were good, nice pasta and pizza starting at €6. Brilliant waterpark by the beach, worth the entry fee of €40 for our family.

A special mention must go to the barman Michael, as my son said "my favourite Italian person". He was fluent in English, very interesting and wonderfully helpful - telling us info on how to get to Pisa, making snacks for my son, drawing on our map each of the restaurants and generally being very good company of an evening.

Such a perfect place for a quick 5 night break, look past the dated decor and see a place fully commited to looking after you and making your stay happy and enjoyable.

If you are after a stunning hotel with no character then this isn't the place for you, but if you are looking for a friendly peaceful atmosphere then this is the right place. I would give it 4 stars based on staff/atmosphere but have given it 3 as I think it's too basic for a typical 4 star.

Absolutely planning on returning once my son is old enough to climb the leaning tower! He enjoyed our stay so much that he had to say goodbye to everything in the room, including the chairs!!

Is like going back in time. The hotel is huge, has everything, but they haven't changed anything. Same all furnitures, old rooms and what's old= smelly.
I paid 52€ so is a good price, i would give the hotel 3 stars.

This hotel was rather amusing - spotlessly clean, all the facilities you need yet very dated in terms of the furniture and ambience.
The room was spacious and clean yet basic, the bathroom was fine - constant hot shower with good water pressure.
The pool area was probably the most modern area of the hotel - nice sun loungers and a clean, relaxing pool.
We didn't try the restaurant - it was very quiet and we preferred to walk into Tirrenia to try the local restaurants.
Location was good - 30min bus drive into Pisa, 5 min walk to the restaurants and bars and beach in Tirrenia.
I would come again.
