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 most of you visiting Pisa will want to take in some culture and probably do some shopping. All one has to do is take the main road leading towards the tower and this will take you through the main shopping area of Pisa. One has to cross the bridge, take in the view and keep going through the shopping district to arrive to the Tower. It is perhaps a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The city is also crowded with good restaurants. If you're looking for a good Fiorentina steak, visit the Trattoria del Borgo. I'm sure you'll be given directions if you ask.
The breakfast, unlike most Italian hotels, actually serves something comparable to English breakfast. Sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs are all available, complimented by continental selections of ham, cheese, fruit and juices. The breakfast gets 2 thumbs up from me
As far as price is concerned I feel it cost less than its Milano counterpart and even though I only stayed for a day I wouldn't think twice about returning.
