Good location, needs some work.
We booked a 'superior double' room. Room 2 on the ground floor felt small and very dark - the walls are painted dark green. With the light on it was too bright, the overhead light was very harsh. The woman on reception was sympathetic but could not offer us an alternative room. The shower was also a problem, very low pressure. Breakfast was OK, but €18 per person seemed very steep. The location is good, easy walk to the duomo and tower, and it is reasonably quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful

Great location
Check in was smooth and the staff was friendly. The room was on the ground floor and was clean, spacious, had some nice amenities such as a dental kit body lotion and espresso machine. They also have a decent minibar and bottles of wine for purchase. The bed was decent and the sheets were comfortable. I was on the side facing the road, though it was a fairly quite road and didn't disturb my sleep. The location was great literally about an 8 min walk to the tower. If I had to stay in Pisa I would stay here again.

Management attention to detail required
This is a beautifully appointed hotel close to the leaning tower, sights and shops. However Room 2 is noisy and very bright! with reception, phone ringing, front door etc and the shower very weak - difficult to shampoo hair. Clearly money has been spent on tasteful refurb, but the staff need some direction from absent management. I was served a spritz as they had no gin and tonic - I checked later and they clearly did have G n T - neither girls had a clue. Our waitress was very cheerful. Very limited dinner menu - best to go out. Horrendous hammering in the kitchen during our breakfast. Quoted E18 for mediocre breakfast, so went out next day. However on checking out breakfast was only E8!! On asking for information at reception re taxi or train to airport - not very helpful. The hotel lacked atmosphere and warmth - more attention to detail is required from management as the hotel has great potential but I wouldn’t recommend it at the moment.

If you are visiting Pisa to see the Leaning Tower, then this is the place to stay. It is a 10 minute walk to the cathedral complex, around which are numerous bars and restaurants. The taxi from the train station was 15 euros and it was 20 to the airport.

Highly recommended! 3-4 minutes walk to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 3 minutes walk to the nearest train station and from there, 15 minutes train travel to Pisa Airport. 1 hour train travel to Florence. Nice and helpful staff. Clean room - all amenities included (including a mini bar).

Lovely little hotel, with a traditional Italian feel. Staff all very pleasant, hotel lovely and clean. Location is incredible if you want to be close to the tower and restaurants, just a 5 min walk. A 15 min taxi from the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, hotel needs a bit of updating
The rif was a lifesaver as our flight was cancelled and we needed a place to stay with our 7 month old baby. Staff were friendly and the location was amazing. The condition of the rooms were a bit more worn than we expected and some areas smelled a bit damp but we were comfortable

More budget than boutique ..
Impressive building and foyer/reception/garden. The room was beyond average. Dark but with an extreme kitchen style LED ceiling light, mismatched furniture, soft uncomfortable mattress, plain boring (not boutique) decor. Bathroom newly done, small and not stylish - functional. Small plastic bottle of water in the room - €3. We have 2 small dogs and I think and extra €40 was excessive considering it's normal €5/10. Staff were excellent - friendly, cheerful and a lovely welcome. Nice hotel but thoroughly underwhelmed by the room.
