If we knew the noise from the street, we didn't choose the hotel.
Pros:

Location is good, right between the station and the Pisa Tower. both way 10 or 12 minutes walk.
Staff were very friendly, and answered our questions very well.
The hotel has lots of characters with old items, and pianos on the landing.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the noise from the side street was constant until 1pm when the bar was closed, then the staff empties the dustbin full of bottles, so noisy. Finally fell asleep around 3pm. Me and my friend had a twin room, and it was unfortunate we were allocated at the bad side of the hotel. My other friends had a room at the opposite side of the building and it seemed not as noisy as my room.
TV had no signal unfortunately.
It seemed they had staff shortage for breakfast, when we arrived, there were no plates available, and not much food left until finally they brough in, by then we had to leave to check-out.

Una bella esperienza
Pros:

La posizione è ottima e molto centrale. Vicino alla gelateria 'Dei Coltelli' ed a tanti luoghi di ristoro. L'albergo è una dimora storica ed è ben tenuto. Una 'vecchia signora' che conserva la sua eleganza ed il suo riserbo. Il personale è cortese e disponibile.

Cons:

L'hotel ha sicuramente bisogno di manutenzione degli arredi proprio per la sua antichità. Segnalo solo che alcune piastrelle in camera erano instabili. La doccia, non so bene perché, disperde acqua anche al suo esterno. Inoltre sarebbero state apprezzate delle ciabattine.
Trovandoci sull'Arno, certamente un po' più di contrasto alle zanzare sarebbe stato gradito. Mia figlia è stata punta ed ho dovuto darle un farmaco.
Ottimo il fatto che ci sia un garage, che è piccolino ma vista la zona ci sta. Magari sarebbe il caso di mettere a disposizione con una sorta di convenzione anche un altro garage coperto per le auto; soprattutto un servizio di trasporto per la stazione sarebbe stato comodo, perché effettivamente Pisa va visitata a piedi.

Különleges hangulató hely, nem a mai luxusról szó hanem inkább a múlt egy értékes darabja.
Pros:

Nagyon jó az elhelyezkedése. A személyzet fantasztikusan kedves és segítőkész. A szálloda hangulata engem megfogott, nem mai szemmel kell nézni, hanem úgy, hogy ez a szálloda a történelem egy része. De van lift és a wifi is. Nem túl nagy szobák és fürdők, de alvásra tökéletesen alkalmasak. Tipikus olasz reggeli volt, így jól indult a napunk is.

Cons:

Kicsit nehezen nyíló ajtók. Tény és való elég hangos a környék és ez behallatszik, de füldugó használata mellett máris nincs zavaró tényező.

Une fois pas deux !
Pros:

Uniquement l’emplacement

Cons:

La sonorité! On entend absolument tout dehors et aussi dans les autres chambres et le couloir ! Le lit était bancale comme tout le reste dans la chambre et salle de bain.

Pros:

Dies Hotel ist etwas ganz besonderes!:Super Lage, Parkplatz, gutes Frühstück- aber vorallem - Jahrhunderte von Geschichte! Als schliefe man im Museum. Alleine die Möbel, die Bilder, der ganze verwinkelte Bau (die Heizkosten müssen verheerend sein) aber alles ist mit liebevoller Hand gepflegt und die Patina gehört dazu. Leute, die das nicht mögen/brauchen sollen in eine internationale Kette gehen, das hat auch seine Berechtigung, aber Geschichtsliebhaber müssen dieses Hotel kennenlernen! (Und das Personal war sehr nett und die Betten waren sehr bequem!)

Cons:

Uns hat alles gefallen

Horribly amazing centre of art history and pure joy !!!
Pros:

Oh the joy of experiencing a classic hotel that has been such since yr 1050 ish !!! The ancient and beautiful hand painted decor on the walls and ceilings are something to behold.. !!... Just think about the artistic skill involved ? Then the abundant portraits from the late 1800's that at first impression resemble photos.. But.. on closer inspection they are paintings !!!.... Will take me a lifetime of revisits to take it all in as every room on every floor is adorned with art, antiques, culture, history which you will never experience anywhere else.. Simply unique !

And then there is the joy of looking out onto the Arno .... Watching the young and old out on the streets chatting, making vibrant noise echoing all throughout this ancient city till the early hours of the morning.... So encouraging that they are not all infront of phones and computers, but are actually vociferously engaging in human talkative interactions..

For those that moan about noise in ancient Italian city centres till the early hours, I can only suggest you find somewhere outside city centres.. This is ITALY ! or not ?

Oh and that classic petrol motor bicycle !!!! Would love to give it a go !

Will update further after my next stay !
