The hotel was very cute and cozy and what I expected knowing it’s one of the oldest hotels. The location was ideal being close to the airport and to the tower of Pisa. The staff were very helpful with explaining the event that was happening on the river at the night of our stay as well as guiding us to the roof for a better viewing experience. All in all we really enjoyed our stay.

DONT

Staff were friendly the room was poor furniture nearly fell apart when you touch it . You could either have the a/c on or the tv as there’s no sockets for both but this didn’t matter too much as neither worked so you had to keep windows open which meant you got eaten by mosquitoes there was an ally at the side of the room which on a nightly basis was used as a toilet by the 100 or so people that sit on the wall by the river also sat watching multiple drug deals in the same ally and at 03.30 every morning the bottle bins from the restaurants got emptied and at 06.00 am the ally was pressure washed and due to some event going on on day 3 workers were very loudly slamming pieces of metal for some stage they were building until 03.00 in the morning left a day early when the guy at reception asked why we told him he couldn’t care less

The hotel is easily accessible from the train station and in the center of Pisa. The down side is there’s no air conditioning and super noisy outside with people enjoying the nightlife.

Shabby with barely any chic

Stayed 1 night pre flight. Location great however the historic charm of this place in no way outweighs the lack of basic facilities in room 305. The weather was very hot - aircon out of 1970s broken, dusty and obviously non functional, no idea why it was still left in situ gathering cobwebs. Windows do not open. It was stifling and unbearable. Bath stained with years of use, not dirty so much as worn. Shower curtain ancient worn and just clinging on. The hotel common areas are really interesting and the shabby chic look can be appreciated there but please make the rooms useable! Worst nights sleep ever.

4 day break

The hotel claims to be the oldest in Italy and although that has it's charm the facilities do show their age. The wi-fi was very good as was the location, being close to the shops, bars & restaurants and only a 15min walk from the station and to the tower. The staff are excellent and always helpful. The continental breakfast was ample to start the day.

The worst night ever!!! The hotel is ok, although is old and the room are not 100% clean. I stayed 1 night and it was the worst, if you want to have a sleepless night then this is for you. Starting around 9pm-3am lots of people were partying outside of the hotel making it a nightmare for others. Terrible experience!

Characterful and with a long history of literary guests. A refreshing change from the blandness of modern hotels: not for everyone but I don't mind ageing paintwork and chipped tiling when it comes with an Arno view like this. A bath plug would have been nice but I've learned how to improvise one.
