“ This was a very difficult location to find. When we tried contacting the hostel, nobody answered. Once, he responded, we had a lovely time. The noise from the street was a bit loud (this being in low season), so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring earplugs. ”

“ Brilliant location and a great place. Wifi works in room, bathrooms and room itself are really clean. Literally a minute walk to the tower. If you're doing what did and turning up to see the tower and take off the next day then this is the place to stay. ”

“ Excellent hostel! Although there are not many choices in Pisa, this is a great place.

The only downside was that the showeroom was shared, even for the... more ”

“ More like a little apartment, with a room with 4 single beds. No real reception, we had to call a phone number when we arrived (which can be challenging when you have to find a pay phone!). Free internet and modern, clean bathroom. No character or opportunity to meet other travelers. ”
