Le parking dans la ville
Le décor unique ( bâtiment historique) , hors du temps

L’insonorisation, c’est le jeu quand on accepte d’aller dans un hôtel historique qui est d’époque

Beautifully quirky but loud!
Pros:

Great location, beautifully styled, lovely big rooms, comfy beds, great that breakfast is included, such a lovely quirky hotel

Cons:

The shower didn't heat up, the extractor was a bit noisy after a few minutes, the window didn't close properly and the noise from the street during the night was as if we were sleeping on the balcony! Lacking in sockets for charging devices

Hotel with a lot character, worth exploring by itself. Could be so good if the rooms were updated.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. The location was great for accessing the tourist hot spots and still feeling special.

Cons:

Our room was in dire need of decorating. Also our bed frame did not fit the external wooden frame! Hair drier was faulty and was not replace.

Pros:

Posizione centrale e vista esclusiva sull'Arno.
Struttura storica di indubbio fascino

Cons:

La scelta di mantenere inalterata la struttura e di preservarne le peculiarità storica, seppur conferisce fascino alla struttura, incide in maniera significativa sulla qualità dei servizi...

Prima hotel, helaas slecht geslapen
Pros:

Prima plek in Pisa, schone badkamer. Aparte bedden zoals aangevraagd en heel vriendelijk personeel. Lekker ontbijt in de ochtend, 24/7 receptie, mooi gebouw. Prima verblijf.

Cons:

Het feit dat het hotel gevestigd is in een oud gebouw, maakt de kamergeur erg muffig. Daarnaast sliepen wij er in het weekend en hadden we even geen rekening gehouden met dronken tieners precies onder ons raam. Tieners kan het hotel niet veel aan doen, maar de geur vonden wij wel intens.

You can tell it is an old building, and staff were nice but I would look at other places to stay.
Pros:

The location was nice and staff were nice.

Cons:

Sadly a lot of things were not the best. Our shower didn’t get warm so it was cold during our stay, the breakfast was smaller than we thought and the first day the eggs were cold. We were told there would be staff to take orders of coffee that wasn’t true there was just a machine. Our rooms bed was very squeaky, and above the door light shined into the room all night which was hard to sleep. I also didn’t like that we had to give our key back every time we left. I understand it is because the keys are old but I took all my important things with me each time, as there were no safes in the room. The photos made it look a lot nicer than it was :(

Pros:

Hotel v centra mesta, par minút od letiska.

Cons:

Izby by potrebovali značnú rekonštrukciu. Aj v historickom hoteli by sa mali dať poriadne zatvoriť dvere do izby ci kúpeľne.

Location great , but needs some investment
Pros:

Location is great , right on the river 12 min walk to Tower and 2 min walk to main shopping street .
The hotel is a very grand building with lots of old furniture and quirky bits .
The person who checked us in was really helpful with directions and gave us a map and the person who checked us out was helpful and booked us a taxi .
Bed comfortable .

Cons:

It’s really needing a major renovation , we couldn’t get the windows open , bathroom very old , with shower curtain , floor was flooded and very slippy .
It’s a shame because they probably don’t have the investment funds that are needed to get this to a sufficient modern standard as it really could be quite a grand hotel .
