Great location to the tower of Pisa and main market. Would highly recommend this place for a great quality hotel in walkable distance less than 5 minutes to the Tower of Pisa.

Great hotel, great room, great location. attractions are really close. We will stay again there.
Lovely property very close to the sights. Staff were very friendly and helpful couldn’t have been any better. Our best stay out of 3 hotel stays in the region. Highly recommend
This is a very comfortable, renovated hotel with modern, fairly spacious rooms. There’s parking on site (for a fee). The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The location is obviously very convenient to visit the leaning tower.
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.
Lovely hotel in a building from the 1920´s in a perfect and quiet location in Pisa, beautifully renovated! Very close to the Leaning tower and the train station Pisa S. Rossore.
Staff very helpful with suggestions and directions. Nice buffet breakfast( not included) and amazing outdoor patio facing the garden for both breakfast or cocktails.
Beautiful old home converted into a Boutique Hotel. Lovely grounds. We stayed in a room in the back of the property, maybe an old converted garage or shed. It had a lovely patio with comfy furniture. The room was comfortable and clean. It is a 5 minute walk to the Piazza Del Duomo where the Leaning Tower is located. Excellent service.
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).

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

Overall the hotel was good. I stayed for New Years night. Although the staff left early & I checked in late around 8:30 pm they were very communicative and their instructions were very detailed and helpful. It is very very close to the leaning tower of Pisa it was literally on the same street & a 5 minute walk. The only slight thing I didn't expect is the room was smaller than I thought (not that big of a deal). It was quite expensive but I believe cause it was New Years night. They did provide a bottle of free Champagne and when I did meet the staff in the morning they were super nice.
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.

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

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.

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.
