The hotel was more than adequate with a comfy double bed and spacious shower-room, though lacking a view. The room size was lovely, clean with fresh towels daily and clean sheets every other day. The banging noise in the attic above my room did not disrupt our stay as we were mostly out exploring.

I absolutely loved this hotel! The location is just perfect, right in the center of Pisa, close to everything you need, from local attractions to cozy cafes. The rooms were basic but provided everything we required, and being able to see the tower from our rooftop terrace was a delightful bonus. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff always ready with local tips. The dining experience was lovely, especially enjoying a meal with a view of the Leaning Tower. However, the rooms could use a bit more modern amenities. Overall, a great value for the money.

I just had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were fantastic, clean, and offered basic coffee facilities. Being at the back of the hotel in room 302 gave us a lovely view of the botanic gardens. The service was excellent - the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was superb, just a few steps away from the leaning tower, making it easy to explore the area. Dining was a real treat with a view of the leaning tower and delicious food options. I couldn't ask for more!
