“Dreadful place, avoid at all costs”

London, UK

This hotel is a disgrace. We chose it out of the mid range section of Lonely Planet, and what a mis-description. I doubt the author had actually been there.

Firstly, it's located by one of the gates to the Leaning Tower area. You might think this is good, but in fact it's awful. There are hoardes of North African hawkers trying to sell you every piece of tat under the sun, and right under your window/by the front door. It's also located on probably the busiest noisiest road in Pisa.

Our first room literally was a hot cupboard. You could barely get your legs between the walls and the bed and there was no window! Yes you read that right.

When we asked to change rooms they said they were fully booked. It was only when we said we were leaving that they happened to find another room. This one was a little bigger, but boy, was it noisy, and we're talking nearly third world standards. The square outside remained a honeypot for noise, day and night. The aircon was broken (visibly, so no excuse), so it was either windows open and zero sleep, or shut and an experience similar to sleeping in a greenhouse with an open sewer. Yes the bathroom, and hence the room, filled with choking sewer smells.

Having told the receptionist (in a small gap where she got off her mobile) that we would be leaving promptly in the morning, we were further disappointed (but unsurprised) to find that not only had the receptionist not bothered to turn up for work (one of only two staff members, and the only one who spoke English and could work at reception), but that breakfast was not ready by 7am as it should have been (possibly fortunate as it consisted of plastic wrapped cheese and homebake croissants). So our departure was a hungry one, offering to help the other poor residents who couldn't order a taxi to the station (no receptionist).

If you have the option of sleeping in your car, take it. The website is possibly the most misleading piece of advertising I've ever seen.

“Poor & overrated website”

Art Hotel Giardino

15 Oct 2007

hotel website makes this place look great - oversells the reality by a long way!

basic room, not very clean and musty smelling.

Very close to the Leaning Tower, but suggesting it is a 1km wlak to the railway station a bit rich!!

“Over-rated”

Art Hotel Giardino

5 Oct 2007

We stayed here for one night before flying out of Pisa. What a dump. The room was really hot with no working air-con and numerous mosquitoes, the window opened directly onto a terrace from the hotel bar - not very reassuring for security - and there was no hot water at all in the evening. The beds were more like camp beds than anything. Breakfast was mediocre at best and was served by one of the rudest people I've ever come across. Yes, the hotel is really near to the tower but then so are many other Pisan hotels. We expected basic but I was totally unimpressed by the service and cleanliness for the price we paid. I would never stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

“Will Not Visit Again”

Art Hotel Giardino

3 Oct 2007

The location is good for the tower and Duomo and a variety of restaurants are nearby.
The reception staff were pleasant but the person serving breakfast was unwelcoming , uncommunicative and unhelpful.
The breakfast was sparse but the coffee was freshly made.
The room was very small for two people and the only window was in the ceilng. The shower was unpredictable.

“Expensive”

Art Hotel Giardino

19 Sep 2007

The good thing about the hotel is the position, 15 mt from Piazza Del Duomo. But, sadly, it's the only good thing. My room was minuscule, without a table, the windows is over the ceiling and cannot be open, the bathroom was so small that the dryer is hanging over the mirror, the shower does not have a box so when you take a shower you inevitably flood the bathroom, on morning water has a very low pressure, the only international channel you see is CNN, the hotel itself is very noisy. Also, at about midnight the hotel closes, you have to take the key of the front door if you plan to return after the curfew :) the didn't tell me the first day, so I have to ring the bell untile someone of the staff wakes up and open, and he was very rude.
