Grand Hotel Duomo, Pisa

...in Pisa, we chose the Grand Hotel Doumo. Why? Well, if you're looking for a hotel which is ideally located for all that Pisa has to offer, you'd be hard placed to find a more suitable one. It's literally a few steps from the famous tower and in fact, many of the rooms have a magnificent view of the tower and Doumo (hence the name). that explains the Doumo part of the name...you could hardly be more accurate. And describing it as an hotel is pretty ...
...hotel may indeed have been grand once upon a time (possibly around the time the builders had forgotten their plumb line and were erecting said tower with all haste), but it sure ain't now. Dated, tired and in need of a general refurbishment...but enough about Mrs p, what about the hotel? Well I'm afraid the same description could be used for it. We parked right outside the door and checked in where we were offered the choice of garage parking for ...

Review of Grand Hotel Duomo, Pisa

...and stayed here at the Grand Hotel Duomo. It was great value for money, we got the third night free so ended up paying £140 for three nights which was well worth it. Arrived at the hotel and the initial impressions were good. Nice hotel front, good location, clean and modern reception area. Bearing in mind we were there out of season, the staff on the reception desk were flawless. We spoke no Italian and they spoke to us in English and gave us maps ...

Review of Grand Hotel Duomo, Pisa

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. ...
...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 is HOTELSCOMPARISON.COM This site searches most of the others. There are good quality Restaurants in the area. ...
