This was me and my husbands second trip to Italy. In our 1st trip 2 years ago our economy was great so we stayed in posh apartments we rented. This summer we made the sacrifice and traveled on a budget. Trust us after staying in seedy hostels all over Europe this was a nice change. The price was very afforable... more

Arrived at this hotel after booking through an internet company. The company had cancelled our room without our knowing and I can only say how very helpful the staff were at finding us an other room at their busiest timeof year. This room was indeed tiny Room 122, but it was better than the alternative -the park! Yes staff were... more

Great location, directly outside the leaning tower - if you get one of the rooms at the front you can see it fom your window. It is definately the closest hotel to the leaning tower. The rooms were an average 3 star, bordering on a 2 star. Breakfast was very average, a croissant with spread. Cleanliness was average. Good for... more

Extremely nervous about coming here after reading all the reviews. However couldn't get past the location and price. As a result we were very happy. None of the nightmares we had read about in other reviews. Our room was quiet (not overlooking the street). No elevator but so what - this is Italy! The staff was not overly welcoming but... more

Got a great deal from 1800hotels.com ($90) for a one night stay here. The location is great, especially if you want to hang out at the Miracle's square at night. The hotel, on the other hand is definitely not that great. There are no elevators, which I found surprising since no one mentioned this in previous reviews. We had a... more

The Hotel Ariston is located a stones throw from the leaning tower, so for that reason is a worthwhile choice for people who don't like having to walk to see the sites. It also means that, during the day, rooms at the front of the hotel are subject to lots of noise from the street below. Therefore, plan to be... more

I would recommend the Ariston for its incredible proximity to the Campo Miracoli (Field of Miracles) which is only about a minute's walk away. This means you can get the first trip up the Leaning Tower of the day, before all the tour groups arrive. Breakfast isn't great - I've never had great breakfasts in Italian hotels - but the... more

If you are travelling to Pisa and wanting a hotel close the the Leaning Tower, then look no further! When you book make sure that you ask for views of the Tower.. you won't be disappointed! (see photos). I booked the hotel purely on it's location and it more than exceeded my expectations. The hotel is very clean and is... more

Wonderful location! The leaning tower was literally less than a block away from the hotel, along with the duomo, the opera, and the baptistry . We were lucky enough to have a room with a balcony, if you leaned over the balcony you could look down the street and see the leaning tower. There was also a good selection of... more
