We found this hotel by chance when forced to stay in Pisa after Ryanair cancelled our flight home due to bad weather. The day receptionists Simone and the lady referred to in other reviews were excellent but John the night receptionist was surly to the point of rudeness. We arranged to leave early in the morning for our re-arranged flight.... more

Just back from our stay in Tuscany & our first night was in the Hotel Minerva in Pisa. Having read some of the previous reviews just before we went we were a bit worried about this accomodation but our experience was perfectly satisfactory. The staff were welcoming & pleasant & our room (on the 2nd floor) was very clean &... more

I was really disapointed when I spent a night at Hotel Minerva. This was our last night in Italy. On the website I had booked the hotel thru, the pictures displayed a really nice garden. When we got there, it was just soil everywhere, with almost no grass... Regarding the room, the beds were really comfortable. Nevertheless, the bathroom was... more

Ridicules to pay so much money (115 Euros) for a sleepless night. We could hear our neighbour snoring the whole night. Bathroom didn’t have a proper door. No lift. Night and morning staff was super unfriendly. (Only exception the middle aged lady in the afternoon who gave us some great tips). Breakfast was a joke. Didn’t have such bad food... more

We went to Pisa with no hotel reservation, which in the first place makes me nervous since I like to check Tripadvisor before booking any hotel! As soon as we got to the train station in Pisa, we started walking around, pulling luggage behind us. We wandered to Hotel Minerva and took a chance. The lady receptionist was very nice... more

We booked 2 nights totally on the basis of the tripadvisor reviews. The location was ok and, true the hotel was clean but, oh dear how dreary, from the civil but dreary receptionist to the serviceable but dreary (and small quad) room, to the dreary breakfast room with dreary tinned fruit salad (in Italy!!). Their recommendation of the Galileo restaurant... more

We stayed here for 4 days and had a lovely stay. What I want from a hotel is the following: a comfortable bed, a clean room, a quiet outlook, a good location, friendly staff and, most importantly in hot weather, good air conditioning! Hotel Minerva had all of those, so no complaints. For a 3 star hotel, this is way... more

I searched around (on internet) for a nice hotel in Pisa, and found it hard to find something nice. I decided on the Minerva Hotel in the end. We stayed here 1 night to see Pisa (I agree one day is o.k. to see the sights in Pisa) before travelling through to Lucca. Nice hotel with a personal touch (chat,... more

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. We found the staff a bit standoffish and were given poor information regarding resturaunts and directions. The breakfast was edible, the rooms clean but small. The shower door leaked, but most of them do! As Pisa is small the hotel is within walking distance of bus, train, and historical district. The problem is... more
