Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This facility is a little far from Pisa Central Station and from the Center of Pisa ( Piazza Garibaldi). It is showed as a 4 stars but it is far from that. Expedia starts with Blue Shades Hotel but in the reality it's called Blue Shades Aparthotel still with 4 stars. Expedia says "Breakfast available" but actually no breakfast is available. You need to go to the Vanilla bar. Yes, Vanilla bar is wonderful but it is not part of the hotel. The bathroom items were not in a very good shape. No shower gel or shampoo. You will get some small shower soaps or shampoo soaps. There was a boiler but no tea was provided and the gas stove didn't work. Check-in: our flight arrived at 9:40pm and I asked if we could do the check-in after we went to the restaurant. They asked us to do the check-in as first thing and going to the restaurant after. By the time we finished with the check-in and we could go to the restaurant that I wanted, it was closed ( so be careful about this) and we had to go somewhere else. There are better 4 stars in Pisa (at least two) and they will continue to be my favourite choice

The apartment was generally clean but was in need of some maintenance. Likewise the supplied equipment was somewhat limited (for example, only one small spoon). Excellent location for airport, with good amenities on site.

This hotel was a godsend when our flight was delayed so long we couldn’t get to our destination. They put up a cot for us at a couple of hour’s notice and even warmed up some milk for our baby. The staff were so kind and helpful. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, although the appliances would be a bit noisy for some people. Perfect for a night or two. If you wanted to cook a full meal, the kitchenette would not be big enough. Not a problem for us but worth knowing for other people.

The best hotel experience I’ve ever had

The staff at Blue Shades were some of the nicest and most accommodating group of individuals in any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I had to stay here due to a medical emergency and had to take a flight home the next day. I could not walk due to a broken leg/foot and the reception was so sweet and helped me get into the building and my room with an office chair. I would have had no way to physically get in the building without their help. Plus the food was unexpectedly fantastic, turns out they make the food fresh. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Without a doubt I would refer any of my friends and family to this hotel if they’re staying in or near Pisa. When I come back to Pisa I am booking Blue Shades again.
