Great place and would stay again!
Pros:

location was great, as it was located in the main street from the tower. The room was functional but limited on comfort. Cleanliness was good and extra pillows were available when requested. We had breakfast out, as the offering from the hotel looked limited but we did arrive later in the morning.

Cons:

Bed was hard which appeals to some but not to me.

Ideal para una escapada corta
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta. Está junto a la Torre de Pisa

Cons:

El inodoro está colocado muy estrecho y no resulta cómodo de usar. En el pasillo hacia muchísimo calor.

More Italy!
Pros:

Close to everything really and decent restaurants close by.

Cons:

More pictures of Italy.
The building is old, so could do with few renovations, like a new elevator. Our room was recently renovated. The light could be a bit better in the room though and maybe add a few pictures? The walls feel kinda empty

Pros:

Ottima la posizione nei pressi della torre pendente. Ottima anche la pulizia

Cons:

Ho chiesto una stanza con due letti separati, ma non ne avevano. C'era un solo letto matrimoniale con una scrivania e due comodini.
C'era una sola sedia e nessuna possibilità di appoggiare le valigie. Nessuna possibilità di appoggio per saponi o beauty anche nel bagno.

A cheap cheerful time
Pros:

Fantastic location, right near leaning tower

Cons:

We did request twin beds, but on arrival that was not possible. It also was very basic, but we did only sleep in room spent most of time exploring so not too negative.

Pros:

Vi likte svært godt den unge, hyggelige mannen som tok oss imot på kvelden.

Cons:

Vi opplevde vertinnen, som bl.a. serverte frokost, som.... interessant. Hun kan fungere som inspirasjonskilde for John Cleese til en ny sesong av Faulty Towers.

Solo para dormir en sitio céntrico a precio barato
Pros:

La ubicación es lo mejor del hotel, el desayuno bastante mal, pero por 5 € tampoco se puede pedir un milagro

Cons:

La limpieza de la habitación, el colchón y las instalaciones (bastante obsoletas)
