This hostel is very simple but it was a very nice experience to stay there, because all the building was quite typical and pleasant. Our room was small and simple, facing a patio. The bathroom was very clean, but the water pressure was not good. The location of this property is only 50m from the Tower of Pisa and more... More

We booked in for one night, the last night of a lovely fortnight in Italy. We paid €80 so we were expecting a decent room but were disappointed. The bathroom floor was filthy and the soles of my feet were black by the time I had walked from the shower to the bedroom. There were not enough towels. Not having... More

A down-to-earth hotel, modestly displayed on the street. Our only concern was the flight of stairs. There was no elevator, so we had to walk 4 flights of stairs with heavy luggage. We were awestruck to see that we had 9 beds in our room! This was extremely surprising and nice. We were there in the summer--it was extremely hot... More

I've been here before - when it was run by a family that lived on site. It is now run in conjuction with another small hotel nearby. It really is excellent and good value. The room was clean, with a good bed and furniture. We had the cheapest - and shared the bathroom facilities - at least we would have... More

This place had a great location to the Leaning Tower. The room was larger than other hotel rooms in Italy and had a nice ensuite bathroom which was also larger than average. There is no A/C but the ceiling fan does cool down the room. The staff was helpful and there is internet in the main area of the hotel... More

A simple, but very nice and clean room with great atmosphere located i the old part of town. I think the room was recently remodelled. Great wiew over the rooftops. It was nice to take the short walk to the leaning tower. More

Just a couple of minutes away from the tower in one direction and a few minutes from markets, shops and restaurants, this is a really convenient location. It's down a bit of a back street, but it was no problem at all. Being a out of season we had to check in at a sister hotel round the corner, which... More

this felt like a cross between a hotel and a hostel w/a young, friendly, english-speaking staff and available internet. a good price and couldn't have been a better location, just 2 blocks from the field of miracles and a short walk through the gauntlet of vendors and beggars to the bus stop. a bright, airy room w/bath, clean and well...

For those not afraid of walk-up accommodations, younger and hipper crowd and able to live without air conditioning, look no further! Excellent value, location ,insider tips, and welcoming and helpful staff! Free Wi-Fi, inexpensive breakfast arrangement with charming little Coffee Bar - proprietors were very warm and welcoming towards my wife and I when having our breakfast and lunch there!... More

I stayed 1 night here in order to catch an early flight home from Pisa, but would recommend it for longer, as a great base for exploring the town and surroundings. Hotel is located in a back street behind the Via Santa Maria, and this makes it quieter, but still within easy reach of Tower (5 mins away) and very... More
