    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.

    Great location with perfect wi-fi and use of the kitchen.The heating was only on for a couple of hours so we found it a bit cool in the evening but it would not stop us from recommending it.

    We stayed in the second building of the hostel some 100 meters away from the main building. The room wasn't that big but okay for 2 days. Also we had our own bathroom. The hostel is situated in one of the main streets of Pisa with enough restaurants to choose from. When you have seen everything... more

    comment regarding the poor security: the door had a poor lock and the frame around it showed signs of a break-in and could easily be broken again.

    this is a good B&B, the location is right infront of the duomo in Pisa which is awesome. the only quirk was that the room i stayed in was very cold. and the bed i slept in didnt have a warm blanket just a shirt and a slightly warmer sheet. other than that it was a good price and i would come...

    There weren't to many people staying there at the same time as me, but it was warm and comfortable and, ultimately that was all I needed. The guy at reception was really nice, but be prepared for stairs when you finally get to the door. :)

    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. I'd placed a reservation for a dorm and as they were not full they gave me a private room just for me for the same price!!! This was great!!! 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.

    Just a stones throw from the tower. They helped me get from the station to the hostel with no problem. They were very nice and accomodating. I stayed at the hostel up the street, not their main location (they have two locations), It was very clean and accomodating.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in - and I've been to lots. Very clean and comfortable. The receptionist was so friendly and helpful and check in was great - no big list of rules and information - no fuss, just what you need after a long journey. We could see the Leaning Tower from our room!... more
