The Hotel is ideal for Pisa airport. The shuttle bus to town is an excellent service.

Good hotel but far away from the city center, just in the middle of an industrial area!!!Excellent when going for business but not for tourism...Transfers to the center are only 3 or 4 per day!

Great accomodation if you are going to fly in or out of Pisa - very quick to airport and shuttle service from hotel. Nothing of interest around the hotel itself and not within walking distance to anything. Free internet access in the lobby was a nice option.

The room was OK except that the lighting system was faulty. When told, the reception clerk was rude, and made out it must be our fault. The fault was not fixed, but a temporary solution was found. The main problem was the condescending, unacceptable attitude of the staff on the front desk, and also those "serving" breakfast. Breakfast on the whole was not a good experience. Unpleasant, noisy dining room, not very good quality food, surly staff. Everyone needs serious training in how to deal with customers. It was not quite Fawlty Towers, but not very far off.

Hotel vraiment très bien , son prix de 90 euros pour 1 chambre pour 2 avec pet/déj. est compétitif en rapport avec les autres hotels de la région. Bien positionné mais il vaut mieux avoir un auto. Parfait sauf la peinture craquelée dans l'angle du plafond de la chambre , cela dénotte avec un 4 étoile.Sinon très bien et parking aisé.

A lovely hotel. A perfect way station between a long day of air travel and driving on to the Tuscan countryside. Although we arrived a little after 10:00 P.M., the hotel graciously accommodated us for dinner. Dinner and breakfeast selection and quality were excellent. Our only criticism is with the online directions from the Pisa airport.

Stayed 1night on two occassions en route from and to LGW. Convenient to airport,reliable shuttle (To Airport) Very adequate for the above. If touring Pisa you might want to stay closer to central city if you can find a decent hotel quality/price wise

The hotel is conveniently situated for the airport and there is a shuttle service which has to be booked in advance. The hotel was comfortable but the restaurant was disappointing with little choice (there was only one meat dish on the menu).

DON'T BOTHER! arrived late and unable to get any food or drink. staff not helpful and unconcerned. no information as to where room was just given key and told room number. telephone to reception from room was never answered so had to dress again and go downstairs to speak to someone. only recommend for an overnight stay and no longer. How it got 4 stars I'll never know.

The hotel was clean, quiet and the breakfast spread was very nice. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone that was coming from the airport late at night or leaving early in the morning. It is a long (expensive) cab ride to the Leaning Tower and main train station, but there is a shuttle bus that can take you too (if you wait until they want to go)

This is a very nice Hotel for one or two nights to visit Pisa.The services and facilities were very good,breakfast was wonderful.The only thing was you need transport for the evenings,Taxi's were between 10 and 15 Euros either to Pisa or the airport and the shuttle was OK but did not run late at night.There is nothing in the area unless you go to Pisa. But I recommend the Hotel as a stop-over.

The front desk staff was exceptional; very, very friendly and most helpful. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and wishes for a good trip upon leaving. The hotel is very conveniently located within minutes of the Pisa airport.

The cleanliness of the room and entire hotel was great. The front desk gentleman was the best. However, the shuttle schedule was small and never coincided with my plans, I ended up taking a taxi (at high cost)everywhere I wanted to go.

1 couple + 1 single traveller in two double rooms visiting Pisa, half a night stay for early morning flight home having come from florence. Staff speak excellent english and very helpful. A smart business hotel suited for tourists also. High room standard, comfortable, clean and spacious bathroom although aircon wasnt on. No tea making facilities, but that is usual in Italy. Restaurant food high standard & service with matching prices but worth it at least once to escape uninspiring tourist restuarants for which florence and Pisa are especially poor for compared to rest of italy. Isolated, you cant walk anywhere from here, a taxi ordered at reception will cost you about 10 euros to the tower or airport but its fine for a day or two. There is a bar but you drink them in the foyer reception area so would really benefit a lounge or similar. Better than most cheap tourist hotels but DO ask where the italian locals eat - you'll get good food at good prices. Pisa + florence - take lots of cash and prepare to queue lots. Much more tourist traps than e.g Rome or Venice or Amalfi.

Good hotel for people who have a late flight into Pisa and need somewhere clean and comfortable to stay. Feels like a very businessy hotel, not really a family place.Staff very friendly and professional. Good breakfast to set you up for travelling further afield, the pancetta and scrambled eggs were excellent!

Ottima sistemazione, vicino all'aeroporto. Camera silenziosa e climatizzata, molto bene accessoriata, così come il bagno molto pulito . Letto comodo, colazione eccellente. Da consigliare sicuramente a chi ha a disposizione un'auto. Altrimenti l'alternativa per raggiungere il centro città è solo il taxi.

The only thing which didn't correspond to the info on the website about this hotel was that in reality you cannot change adjust/change the temperature/air conditioner in your room. Other than that the hotel is fine. It is a bit without a "personality" because it is big, but still it is convenient, simple and clean. Staff was good. Also, for those who want to be closer to the tousrist's attractions, this hotel might be too far: it is almost 30 minutes driving by car to the centre of the city (traffic time).

It is more-less a business hotel, and also if you are travelling to Corsica or Sardinia, it is about 20 minutes from harbour in Livorno.

Would recommend the Junior suite very clean spacious with 2 bathrooms the on suite with spa bath.Breakfast was first class with a choice of hot or cold. Evening meal was the best Hotel meal I have had whilst working in Italy. Hotel Pool was spotless and water not too cold. Taxi from hotel to the tower was 18 euro.Hotel has shuttle buses to both airport and station.There is an out of town (small) shopping outlet right beside the hotel with shops and bars.Would recommend and return.
