If your GPS is like mine, good to about 15 feet, you will keep missing this hotel. The building is narrow and kept telling me I had arrived when I was in fact on the wrong side of the building and couldn't see the sign. All the maps in the world can't help you in Pisa. It is a no... More

This hotel was perfect for our break. We stayed three nights and had a great stay here. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and there was always someone available if we had any questions. Wifi available, great location very close to the Tower of Pisa and plenty of restaurants and sights nearby. Taxi from airport costs about 11 euros but... More

The stay was very good, with only 2 cons: no wifi in room (but the manager said he was switching supplier and getting broader band) and the stairs (which were only a problem because one of us was in crutches and we has 24kgs luggage), but the manager was so friendly and helpful that we passed over those two cons...

This hotel is just off the main street of Santa Maria and you couldn't get much closer to the tower without paying much more. The rooms were a bit on the small side, it is only a 1 * so don't expect too much, but room to move around without bumping into things. On suite with shower etc. Beds were... More

I got the opportunity to visit this hotel in the month of May for few days during a business tour in the city. From start to finish it was a great stay. The property is very stylish, comfortable and nice. Staff is very friendly and polite. They took all the pains to make our stay comfortable. Rooms are very nicely... More

A lot of cute details in this small hotel, there were two rabbis and a lot of turtles! Very lovely garden. Everybody are very nice. The place is close to the tower, with cafeterias and bus stop near by.

Stayed here for one night after we flew into Pisa, before moving on elsewhere. The best thing about this guesthouse is its excellent location, less than 5 minutes from the main square with the leaning tower and pretty easy to find. The room was ok, pretty average. We had to climb the stairs two floors with our bags as there... More

My friends and I needed a hotel for one night in Pisa, so we can see the tower and then head on to Cinque Terre. This hotel fit the bill. Their shuttle service, that serves a few other hotels in the area, picked us up after our late night flight and brought us right to the door. We were met... More

Stayed for a couple of nights this past weekend. Lovely budget hotel in fantastic location. Just a stones throw away from the tower. Would definitely recommend staying in this hotel. Owners very accomodating and we were able to leave our luggage safely with them after checking out before collecting later.

We arrived late at night (after midnight) and the owners waited up for us and were friendly and helpful. The room is small but neat and clean which is all we need for 1 night. Great location, close to the tower with a bus stop a block away to get to the train in the morning. More than we were... More
