The staff was super helpful and accommodating. Easy walk from both the train station and airport. Fun patisserie & bar attached to relax at. Didn’t try the restaurant, but it looked like the neighborhood spot to be. Grocery store across the street was convenient too.

Very convenient for Pisa airport, only a 10 minute walk. Room was satisfactory, bathroom a little dated with snall shower. Bed was firm and I banged my head on the hard headboard! We were the only diners but we were cooked a very nice meal to order, but it wasn't cheap (€48 per person for two courses and a glass of wine). Secure parking was convenient underground, cost €15 extra per day.

8/10

Our flight arrived at 10pm so we decided to stay here for our first night in Pisa. Very convenient location from the airport. Welcoming staff at reception, even late at night. Clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed and plenty of towels. Only downside was that we were unaware that we had to pre-order breakfast the night before, so we were unable to have any breakfast at the hotel in the morning. Good experience otherwise.

The staff were excellent and the proximity to airport great
