Di Stefano Hotel, Pisa

Advantages: Great Location for Pisa's main attractions.
Disadvantages: None

...We have stayed at the Grand Hotel Duomo on two occassions. I would class it as a four star Hotel. Location for Pisa could not be better, within 50 yards of the Field of Miricules where The Leaning Tower is Located, Also the Baptistry and the Cemetary all worth a Visit. The airport at Pisa is only 3 miles out of the town so Transfer to the Hotel is quick and cheap. Either by Taxi or even by Town Bus. The hotel staff are Professional and friendly. The rooms are well appointed as expected of a 4 star Hotel. There is a nice Bar area, often with a Piano Player in the evenings. The breakfast area is large and well laid out. The Buffet breakfast is well stocked and replenshed often. Again the Staff are Busy and polite. We booked the Hotel thru Octopustravel, but many of the Hotel Sites will Feature this Hotel. A good site I find... Read review

Advantages: Piazza dei Miracoli and Piazza dei Cavalieri are wonderful
Disadvantages:

...Pisa is the hometown of Galileo Galilei, the famous physician, who carried out his first experiments on the gravity of the Leaning Tower in Piazza dei Miracoli.

Its internationally known University has its prestigious seat in the 'Scuola Normale di Pisa' located in the historical Cavalieri (Knights) Square. Every year, on 16th June, the Luminara takes place.

Advantages: 50 m from train station, close to bus to airport, internet TV
Disadvantages: 15-20 mins walk to Pisa tower, 5 mins walk to shopping street

...I chose this hotel for a short stay in Pisa after some days in Milano. The purpose of staying in Pisa was to take advantage of the Ryanair prices. Arriving by train from Milano it was a relief to walk out of the station and see the hotel just across the road. The bus to the airport also leaves from that same location and takes just over 5 minutes to get to the airport. Walking into the hotel it felt every bit like a 4 star hotel. Nice lobby, clean from top to bottom. The room I had overlooked the plaza where the train station is, quite a nice view even though the balcony is very small. The room was quite spacious with adequate storage facilities, a good television system equipped with the ability to browse Internet on the Tv. As always pay per view options were also available. Bathroom facilities also proved more than adequate. Now... Read review
