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.

The hotel is conveniently located near the tower of Pisa, making it easy to explore the city with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms, though a bit small, are clean and come with fresh towels daily. The service is friendly and accommodating. The dining offers traditional Italian options but could have more variety. Overall, it's a great choice for exploring Pisa with good value for money.

The hotel offers a small yet lovely room with a decent size bathroom. While the room may feel a bit cramped, the location is perfect for exploring the city. However, the high price tag may not justify the value received during the stay.

Our one night stay in Pisa was perfect for our needs. The room overlooked the main street, although car access was restricted at certain times of the day. The location was convenient and had a friendly atmosphere. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some items being delicious while others lacked quality. The facilities were decent overall.

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!
