It was in an area of Pisa where you could walk to the Leaning Tower and other buildings around. We had a river view from our balcony on the first floor. It was a very quirky place with lots of artworks.

Good hotel with a great location.

A comfortable hotel in a great location with lots of character and history. Antique furnishing provided a quant charm and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was a buffet that helped to start the day off right.

Great option in Pisa

Old classic hotel by the river, great location with easy walk to the Dome and Tower and just 13 min walk from the train station. The hotel is old style but in very good shape, I got a room with river view and it was well worth it. Loved Pisa, underrated stop in la Toscana. Staff makes a great aperitif and there is a very nice terrace to enjoy a sit down. Would stay again.

Charming hotel with wonderful staff

The oldest hotel in Italy, you won't find the sterile decor of most hotels but it's charming and clean with lots of interesting things to look at. The air conditioning is a bit noisy but was very appreciated. The views over the river are very beautiful, the Palazzo Blu is just across the river and there are some great gelateria and restaurants nearby. Leaning Tower is about 15min walk. What stood out to us at this hotel was the staff. They were all very welcoming, friendly and happy to give us advice on where to park our car, dinner recommendations etc.

4 day break

The hotel claims to be the oldest in Italy and although that has it's charm the facilities do show their age. The wi-fi was very good as was the location, being close to the shops, bars & restaurants and only a 15min walk from the station and to the tower. The staff are excellent and always helpful. The continental breakfast was ample to start the day.

Step back in time in this friendly hotel.

Fantastic location, close to main points of interest. Tower maybe 15mins and restaurants, churches, shops all close by. Try the Bombolini in Piazza Garibaldi ;). Hotel was very friendly and an interesting/ characterful environment. Staff were all great and breakfast was good. We had a river view room which had plenty of space and a lovely outlook.

Characterful and with a long history of literary guests. A refreshing change from the blandness of modern hotels: not for everyone but I don't mind ageing paintwork and chipped tiling when it comes with an Arno view like this. A bath plug would have been nice but I've learned how to improvise one.

Very well located in Pisa centre, very close to restaurants and bars and a 15 min walk to Pisa Tower. The hotel has a very interesting decor full of history, the staff is super friendly and attentive. The hotel is a bit tired, especially in the bedrooms, in need of a renovation. Nevertheless, for a short stay in Pisa, definitely recommend it.

Friendly staff, simple layout to the hotel. Slightly outdated in my honest opinion, just needs a bit of maintenance in places. However I understand the hotel is going for the ‘old fashioned’ look to capture the unique history of the building. Breakfast was fairly average but pleasant. Room was also average but retro interior made it nice. Interesting stay and the acceptable price.
