Very convenient for Pisa airport, only a 10 minute walk. Room was satisfactory, bathroom a little dated with snall shower. Bed was firm and I banged my head on the hard headboard! We were the only diners but we were cooked a very nice meal to order, but it wasn't cheap (€48 per person for two courses and a glass of wine). Secure parking was convenient underground, cost €15 extra per day.

Our flight arrived at 10pm so we decided to stay here for our first night in Pisa. Very convenient location from the airport. Welcoming staff at reception, even late at night. Clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed and plenty of towels. Only downside was that we were unaware that we had to pre-order breakfast the night before, so we were unable to have any breakfast at the hotel in the morning. Good experience otherwise.

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.
