Staying at NH Pisa was an absolute delight—especially if you're arriving by train. The hotel is literally across from the central station, making access super easy. It’s just a 20-minute walk to the Leaning Tower, and the airport shuttle stops right outside the door. My room was modern and comfortable, with a luxurious upgraded bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and a handy in-room water dispenser. Breakfast was a highlight—great variety with both hot and cold options, served by friendly staff who spoke excellent English. Yes, there’s some noise from the nearby train area, but it’s a small trade-off for such great value and convenience. Perfect for travelers wanting to explore Tuscany on a budget. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone planning a short stay in Pisa.

Staying at San Ranieri Hotel was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right from check-in. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and well-appointed—plus, having access to a washer and dryer on-site was a huge plus for a longer stay. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with thoughtful presentation and great flavor, though the prices were slightly on the higher side. While the hotel isn’t right next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, it’s only a short ride away, and the hotel offered convenient car booking assistance, which made getting around effortless. Overall, the combination of comfort, service, and location makes this a top-tier choice in Pisa. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

The welcome was incredibly warm—our host greeted us with a bright smile and made us feel right at home. The room was spotless, with exceptional bedding that made for a truly restful night's sleep. Located just a 20-minute walk from the airport, a 5-minute stroll to the central train station, and perfectly situated on the main pedestrian street, this place is ideal for exploring Pisa. The famous Leaning Tower is only a short walk away—no need for taxis or long transit rides. Everything you need is within reach, all while enjoying a peaceful, charming atmosphere. We can't recommend it enough!

Staying at Royal Victoria Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—right on the bridge, in a prime spot between the train station and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. From the moment you step inside, it feels like entering a living museum. The architectural details are stunning, with clear references to the Victorian era, and it’s actually a protected heritage building—so much character and history. The breakfast was delicious and well-prepared, with a great variety of fresh options. Everything about this stay felt special—convenient, elegant, and authentic. Definitely a top choice for anyone visiting Pisa.

Absolutely central and incredibly convenient! From B&B Colombo, you can reach the city center in just minutes by foot or public transit, and even the airport is a manageable 20-minute walk—perfect for early flights. The place is spotless, well-organized, and warmly welcoming. Gigi and Flavia go above and beyond with their hospitality—friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. We traveled with kids and found everything we needed within walking distance: grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, bars, train station, and LAM bus stops—all right at your doorstep. It’s rare to find such a thoughtfully located, clean, and friendly B&B in such a vibrant part of Pisa. Highly recommended for solo travelers, couples, or families. Thanks again, Gigi and Flavia—you made our stay unforgettable!

The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the Leaning Tower of Pisa and very convenient for exploring the city center. The view from the room is fantastic, and the area is full of charm. However, the service was a major letdown. There was no front desk staff during check-in, and calls went unanswered for hours—after nearly 30 attempts and a wait of about four hours, someone finally responded. It’s frustrating to arrive at a hotel expecting a smooth experience and be left hanging. Despite the excellent location and great views, the lack of basic hospitality really affects the overall impression. Hope they can improve communication and guest support in the future.

Located just a short distance from the central train station and airport, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience for travelers. Although our stay was brief and we didn’t get to enjoy the garden as much as we’d hoped, the overall experience was excellent. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, going the extra mile to make us feel at home. Their local tips were spot-on, helping us navigate the city with ease. Clean rooms, great location, and warm hospitality—this place truly stands out. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for comfort and charm in Pisa.

We stayed at Holiday Pisa Gare from July 25 to 30 as a family of four, including our friends and a young child. The location couldn’t be better—right next to the train station, making it super easy to get around by foot or public transit. The staff were welcoming and gave us a quick tour with clear explanations. Bathrooms and toilets are shared in common areas, which some guests might find inconvenient, but the morning cleaning team does a solid job keeping things tidy. It’s expected that guests help maintain cleanliness after use—no big issue for us. Breakfast was simple but enjoyable, especially when sharing the space with other travelers. There’s also the option to take your meal back to your room if you prefer more privacy. The young woman working breakfast was kind and helpful throughout. Our room was functional and comfortable: a good-sized bed, a fold-out sofa for the kid, plus a TV and desk. The only downside during summer was the lack of air conditioning—closing windows didn’t help much with street noise. But since we left early and returned late every day, and our main goal was just a clean, quiet place to sleep and freshen up, it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Overall, we found this stay very budget-friendly and well worth it. If we ever return to Pisa, we’d definitely choose this place again—especially for value without sacrificing basic comfort.

Staying at Relais Dei Mercanti was an absolute delight from start to finish. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive—greeted us warmly upon arrival, helped with luggage, and offered thoughtful tips about nearby attractions. The location is perfect: just a 10-minute walk from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-appointed, with a quiet, peaceful atmosphere that made for a restful night’s sleep. What stood out most was the exceptional value—luxury service at a fraction of the price you’d expect. This place truly feels like a hidden gem in Pisa. I’d highly recommend it to any traveler visiting the city, and I’ll definitely be returning.

I really appreciated the friendly and attentive staff at Bonaini Relax B&B—always quick to respond via WhatsApp, which made communication super easy. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the train station, perfect for getting around Pisa. The room was clean and simple, with complimentary water provided—an added plus. Breakfast was basic but satisfying, enough to start the day right. Overall, this place offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a comfortable, hassle-free experience.

I had an amazing stay here! The room and bathroom were spotless, and the atmosphere was vibrant with friendly guests from all over the world. Common areas are beautifully designed and very welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cooking essentials, a microwave, and a refrigerator—perfect for self-catering. There's also a handy vending machine for drinks. Staff went above and beyond—they were incredibly accommodating, even letting us keep our luggage and hang out in the common areas after check-out. If I had to mention one tiny flaw, it’s that the bathroom light should be switched on from inside rather than outside. At night, when you open or close the door, the sudden bright light can be quite blinding to your roommates. But honestly, this is such a minor detail. Overall, the hostel offers excellent value, great vibes, and top-notch hospitality. I’d definitely come back!
