The hotel is very close to the Leaning Tower and Cathedral (Duomo). It also has the botanical garden right behind. There are many restaurants close by in the lively street and also the bus to the train station stops just a few yards from the front door. All the same, it is quiet in the rooms if you are on... more

The location is excellent, right by the Leaning Tower and very much in the center of things. Of course this has the disadvantage of being noisy if you're on the main street. We booked 4 months in advance and requested a room on the other side of the hotel, which we got, HOWEVER, despite the fact that it is supposed... more

My husband and I stayed for three nights at the hotel Francesco in Pisa during our Italy trip. The location was excelent, less then one minute walk to the famous linning tower, close to many restaurants, pizza places, ice cream shops and souvinier stores. We used the shuttle service from the airport to the hotel and back and we found... more

We stayed at the Francesco for two nights and thought it was great. The staff were lovely and it is only a short walk to the major attractions. Our room was huge with an enormous bed. It was clean and although the bathroom was small, it was not a problem. I was pleased that the hotel provided a kettle and... more

Room: Stayed in a double room. It was extremely large and very clean. Had a mini bar and television. Location: A 2 min walk from the leaning tower and close to some GREAT restaurants which are suprisingly cheap considering their close proximity to the tower. The website gives a nice set of directions to walk to the hotel from the... more

Originally booked the hotel for a day later but our needs changed and the hotel happily changed our reservation. Perfectly located, it's a two minute walk from the Leaning Tower. Staff are nice and there is complimentary internet offered (although the connection's a little slow). Room was an average size, bathroom was adequate and there was complimentary tea and coffee... more

After arriving from a fabulous 5 nights in a lovely B & B in Florence the disappointment in entering our bedroom for the next 2 nights was immense. Basic, dingy, no pictures on the walls, rickerty furniture and solid bed. We had a kettle in the room and two plastic mugs! The bathroom was shabby and the shower cubicle was... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night after a morning flight into Pisa. We arrived at the hotel after a short taxi ride and were able to store our luggage as the room wasn't ready. The receptionist spoke perfect English and was very friendly. She gave us a map of the area before we headed out again. We walked... more

The Hotel Francesco is suitable for a very basic, convenient, one night stay in Pisa, nothing more. The positives were a free, albeit very slow, communal PC internet connection and close proximity to the attractions, which are a couple blocks away. This affords you the opportunity to buy a 5-sight extravaganza pass, taking breaks between meanderings through the cathedral, bapistry,... more
