The hotel was centrally located, close to main attractions of the Leaning Tower, Cathedral etc. The room was clean & comfy but unfortunately for us as non-smokers, we had been allocated a smoking room & it did smell quite strongly. When we asked if we could change rooms we were told it was not possible as the hotel was full. Apart from that, staff were helpful, they recommended an excellent restaurant close by & arranged a shuttle to the airport for us. Breakfast was v basic. I would recommend for a short stay but def state room preferences at booking!!

We stumbled in on this hotel when we were in Pisa, so we didn't book in advance. We paid 120 euro's for a double room for one night, this would include "continental breakfast". Well the only thing at the breakfast were stale rolls and cheap jelly, also: INSTANT COFFEE, in Italy of all places!
The room was shabby, the bathroom was tiny, but worse of all, the noise was terrible. The minifridge made an incredible sound, so we pulled that one out, but we could also literrally hear the conversations of our neighbours, I think the walls are made of paper.
All in all, extremely expensive for the value one gets. I would rather stay in a 30 euro hostel, where I know I will not get a proper breakfast and there will be noise.

Apart from the noise outside (not all rooms) this was a great place to stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast was fantastic. The rooms clean and tiled (no dirty carpets). The locations was smack in the old part of town as well.

We booked this at quite short notice through venere.com. We are a family - two parents and two children - and so needed a quad room, of which few seemed to be available in Pisa at the time.
At Euro 160 per night and allegedly three star, we were expecting better than this. Basically the room was a double, with a single and a folding bed wedged into it with barely room to walk between them. It overlooked a building site and was clean but shabby. The bathroom was small but fine - power shower and plenty of fresh towels.
The breakfast was very average. Croissants, bread rolls, cereals. We were unimpressed that hot drinks came from a push-button dispenser. Some fresh-brewed coffee would have made us feel much better about everything.
The best thing about di Stefano is the location - just perfect. 300 metres from Leaning Tower and cathedral, even closer to major shopping, and 500 metres from the glorious produce market and river. Wonderful pasta/pizza joint over the road (Vesuvio).
We walked to the station (about a kilometre) and did day-trips to Florence, Viareggio and Lucca. Pisa is a great base to see this part of Tuscany.
The staff were helpful and friendly.
Try to book early for Pisa as it seems it's very crowded, and if you need a family room it my be better to call directly than to use a website - though the venere site was very efficient.
