Pros:

Отличное место расположение и атмосфера. Высокие потолки, картины, интерьер, все погружает вас в атмосферу старой Италии. Приветливый персонал, заселение без проблем. Окна в нашем номере выходили на набережную, шикарный вид. Ночью правда было шумновато из-за тусовки на набережной, но для нас это не было проблемой. Если вам нужна тишина, то выбирайте номер с видом во двор. Мы в восторге от данного номера и отеля. Большое спасибо!

Great location, unique hotel but in need of renovation
Pros:

This hotel is like stepping into a museum! You will want to spend time exploring the artwork and historical memorabilia on each floor and wonder at the antique furniture. If you get lucky with a room facing the Arno River, you will enjoy fantastic views. The staff will store your luggage if you arrive too early for check-in. Breakfast is served in a beautiful, stylish hall on the first floor and you will have a great selection of pastries, coffees, and cold cuts, cheeses, and hardboiled egg. You can walk to this hotel from the train station in about 20 minutes and to the complex around the tower of Pisa in 15 minutes. Right next to the hotel there are numerous restaurants, and a little grocery store. The front desk staff fetched us a cab in only 8 minutes to take us to the airport for right under 20 euros in 2026.

Cons:

People gather at night along the river, right in front of the hotel and play loud music, which is fun to watch, until you wish to sleep. While the antique furnishing of the room is charming, we found the thoroughly stained chaise in our room really gross. Cracked and moving tiles on the floor made it feel like being in an abandoned building or train station. It's hard to take a shower without the shower curtain sticking to your body in the small shower stall. Water from the faucet barely dripped until you turned the handles a few times. The toilet seat was discolored, the walls were cracked, some outlets were non-functional and the wrapping of some electric wires to lamps were worn away. This place would be a phenomenal experience if the rooms were renovated and exuded the richness of its old glory.

Ok for a one-night stay
Pros:

Historical property in the city centre. Staff were really nice.

Cons:

The property would benefit from a major revamp, especially at the price point we paid.
Room security was minimal, don't bring valuables with you or ask the reception for solutions.
Breakfast was not worth it.

Parfaite etape pour un passage d’une nuit à Pise
Pros:

Établissement très bien placé à mi-chemin entre la gare et la place dei miraculi ( tour et cathédrale). Personnel sympathique, multilingue. Très bon petit déjeuner. L’hôtel comporte un musée historique interessant et est décoré de multiples éléments d’époque ce qui lui donne un aspect hors du temps.

Cons:

Établissement situé dans un palais du 11eme siècle, loin du confort moderne.

Interior and the building are definitely with a lot of character, but need some love and care.
