This is quite simply the worst hotel imaginable, and I cannot warn you strongly enough to avoid it at all costs. We arrived to find that the appearance throughout bears no resemblance to the photos on the hotel's website: it is dingy, badly in need of renovation and refurbishment, and dilapidated. After taking the rickety elevator to our floor, we... More

We stayed in this hotel 2 days on our way back to Pisa. Hotel is approx 10 mins walk from the station (slow pace) and is on the edge of the main district. Main dome and Basillica is approx 10 mins walk and a further 15 min walk to Arno river. Hotel is very clean and quirky old yet modern... More

If you want a quaint, very Eurpoean-style hotel with comfy, clean rooms, a good location, and wonderful customer service, then this is the hotel for you! The rooms are a bit small, but they have have so much character (frescos on the walls, cathedral dome views, updated bathrooms). There is an amazingly beautiful breakfast room but you pay extra for... More

Great location, accomodating reception, breakfast was not included so don't know about it. The room was very spacious and clean and bed was comfortable - but bit odd as it was divided into an entrance area and and upstairs area. Upstairs was the bed and bathroom. Suitcases clearly remained downstairs so that we had to bring up what we needed... More

I thought this being a Boscolo, and having a good experience in Rome we booked a night here in Florence, Like another reviewer we were given a damp smelly room, bitten by a mosqito during the night, and forced to bring up our bags up three flights of stairs. The check in was awful, no welcome, no eye contact, just... More

Brilliant location, however that's where it ends! Had a "superior" room apparently, but halfway up the stairs to it there was a damp smell which got worse the closer you got, and the room itself. Had to have the windows open permanently to make it bearable. Reception staff extremely rude and unhelpful, and questions were answered with one word or... More

This hotel has a graceful look to it. The rooms are spacious and overlook a lovely street with cafes and restaurants in it. It is close to the station and all major attractions. The markets are close by and the shopping district is just around the corner. Great location. Breakfast was lovely with a great variety to choose from. The... More

We arrived at the hotel after an early morning flight and one hour train journey from Pisa. The hotel is a ten minute walk from the railway station. The hotel was very ornate and grand which typifies the Italian hotels I have previously stayed in. Reception staff were welcoming and very helpful. Our room was clean and again quite grand.... More
