Excellent location, only a few hundred metres to the Leaning Tower. And sitting on the terrance you can actually see the Leaning Tower. Also some reasonable restaurants right outside the front door.

great location right beside the tower, rooms are lovely for a reasonable price, staff are very nice and helful, if you want to go to a pool can go to the sister hotel which is very handy.

The hotel is in an excellent location it was very clean and nice room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel and if I go back to Pisa I would stay in this hotel. I would suggest that they add walking directions on the information of how to get there.

This was more akin to a hotel than a hostel both in price and feel. We were comfortable though the multi-jet shower's seal meant that every time you have a shower, you end up flooding the bathroom. Apart from that it was fine for 1-2 nights.

Perfect place to stay in Pisa. Right beside the leaning tower and a couple minutes from the shopping and touristy areas. Wonderful hotel. Would recommend to anyone.

It was a shame we were only staying one night but this was a lovely hotel in an ideal location. The receptionist was very knowledgeable and chatty. Though they didn't serve breakfast, it wasn't a problem as they had a deal with a cafe over the road for guests. A very enjoyable stay.

It is very good as a Hotel, as palce to spend quite time, close to sights and in a confotable. It is not a place to meet people and socialize.

The room was a bit small and the hotel was having renovations done while we were there but the staff were very helpful. The area wasn't so much fun since all the restaurants and shops closed by 6:30 at night.

However, upon entering our room, I was VERY impressed by how spacious and cleanly it was. Moreover, the staff was incredibly accomodating and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this place to other travellers looking for a place to just lay back and stay secure while in Pisa.close

We stayed 1 night as we just wanted to spend 1/2 day in Pisa before heading to Cinque Terre. This place was perfect. 100m down the road from the Leaning Tower, close to restaurants and only 15 mins walk to the train station. Staff very helpful with information on catching trains etc. Would...

This is a lovely family run business. we were in Sienna for the Il Palio and both the day staff and night staff were very friendly and helpful with our questions (catching day/night buses) and spoke english well. Starting the day with hot croissants, juice and coffee was super!

This place is very clean. I am sure the fun level depends on the people staying in the hotel. With that said, when I stayed there it was very quite and everyone was in there own room. The computer was ungodly slow, but the air conditioning rocked and it was very clean.
