Hotel Verdi - Pisa

6.6

As a family of 3 (age 40, 40 and 13), this hotel was ideal for our stay in Pisa. Stayed for 3 nights. Upon arrival the man at reception was a little miserable, was obviously hard work to smile. You also got the feeling from the breakfast staff that you were an inconvenience to them in the morning, as none of them could raise a smile. They appear to be quite unhelpful too. Breakfast was adequate, but no fresh fruit available. That aside the hotel was excellent value for money and clean. However, to walk to the tower, (the main reason for going) took about 30 minutes. Good idea to have a satnav with you if driving as well, due to all the one-way roads around the hotel.

9.2

This was a lovely hotel in an excellent location!!!! Would definitely use this hotel again if travelling to Pisa .

8.4

Hotel is clean and welcoming and in a quiet location. Good breakfast was provided and the staff were efficient but friendly at the same time.

8.8

Not a very warm welcome as we arrived quite late in the evening, but neither unwelcoming. The room we stayed in was nice, quite as it was situated at the back, so no noise from outside. Breakfast was rather simple. The hotel is well situated in a quite area, walking distance from the main sites. We had the pleasure to discover 2 very good restaurants round the corner.

9.3

This was the first time we stayed and would definitely stay again. Breakfast was very good with plenty of food. The Leaning Tower is only 10 - 15 minutes walk away. We travelled with a friend who had a single spacious room.

8.9

quiet hotel in this lovely town. room fine although bathroom a little tired.breakfast offered good choice.well situated to walk into main areas- aim to spend much time in campo where there is so much more than the leaning tower!

8.1

Stayed one night en route to Cinque Terra. This is a nice hotel in a quiet and interesting part of old Pisa.

7.2

Only complaint we had was the fold down bed. We booked a triple room,and the 3rd.bed provided was most uncomfortable. We travelled Italy for 3 weeks,with triple share accomodation the whole way,and this was the only Hotel that did not provide a comfortable 3rd. bed.Also was a 20min. walk to Leaning Tower etc. Lovely walk if you are able,may be too far for some people.

6.2

This hotel is ideal for a one night stopover. Very close to Pisa and the railway station where we walked from. The room was very disappointing though. Not only small with a window that looked out to a brick wall, but also the smallest bathroom I've ever seen. Luckily we were only here for a night. There is a small square down the road with a number of restaurants around it. We picked the least commercial looking one and it was fantastic. It looked like Mamma's kitchen. Menu's written in Italian only on scrap paper with half a dozen items to chose from. You couldn't order a bad meal. Wonderfull. Oh and there's a tower down the road too.

7.9

We stayed at the Verdi twice. The hotel is in a quiet location about 10 minutes walk from the Leaning Tower. The first room we had was very dark and quite small but the second one was big. Both rooms were quiet, clean and the reception staff were helpful. The public areas are quite small so this is not a hotel to stay in and relax at.

6.0

Not easy to find the hotel. Comparing the hotel with other hotels we lived in Italy, the price is a little expensive. Ventilator in the bathroom doesn't work.

8.1

Best feature is the great location - lights in hotel room not working when we arrived - coffee machine not working correctly at breakfast. Instructions on how to arrive by bus from main station would be useful. Friendly staff - would return to this hotel.

7.9

We arrived quite late in the evening at the hotel and were pleased to find the receptionist (who spoke excellent English) very helpful. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom and the shower was good. Our only criticism was the very noisy air conditioning which contributed to a bad nights sleep for two out of three of us. Breakfast was sufficient although it was a pity the only coffee available was from a machine. They were happy to let us leave our luggage there while we explored the city as we were leaving later that day. On the whole a very good experience.

6.9

We had a triple room which was a bit cramped. The third bed was a fold out settee. If we had not taken a taxi to the hotel I doubt if we would have found it. It is OK once you become familiar with the surroundings.

8.6

Nice hotel in a good location but intially difficult to find. Close walk to the attractions and to the train station. Staff were great as was my stay.

7.3

Excellent position and parking facilities. A family-run(down)hotel. Things which did not work in the room never got fixed despite assurances. Even the lift gave up the ghost just when we needed to check out. Staff mildly helpful but a bit indifferent. Breakfast room and public areas not aesthetic, likewise our room. However we were able to be acccommodated in a quadruple room which was important for us. I would not return to this hotel

9.8

A pretty little hotel, conveniently situated and very reasonably priced for a short stay. We stayed the night before our flight home. The leaning tower is breathtaking, and well worth a viewing.

7.4

Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit à Pise. L'hôtel est correctement situé dans la ville où tout est accesible à pied. Nous avions demandé un 3ème lit qui s'est avéré uin lit d'appoint. Le problème du parking est aigu à Pise comme dans toutes les villes italiennes, m^me si on reçoit une autorisation de 24h.

8.0

had a pizza, there were eight of us - a little expensive and a bit burnt

5.5

Nice big family room. Reception staff seemed "a bit tired" and not especially serviceminded.

2.1

I was so disappointed with this hotel. The staff were so rude it was unreal. I have stayed in other hotels on your website that were excellent however, this one was the pits. I will forward you a photo of the view from our room which was nothing short of a dump. While the room was clean when I arrived there was no third bed in the room. When I approached the reception staff I was told in a very abrupt manner that there was a bed but I would have to pull the chair out myself after all this was only a 3 star hotel and what did I expect. This is no way to treat paying guests. The bar never opened and the breakfast was not good. I would rate this hotel overall as a 1-2 Star apart from the cleanliness of the room. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone due to the rude and unpleasent manner in which the reception staff treated us and it does not live up to the standard of your excellent website.

8.5

Nous avon passé une nuit. H'otel est proche du Lungarno, là où il y a de l'animation le soir, et face au palais de justice. Nous n'avons pas eu de problème pour garer notre voiture.

9.1

Excellent location in Pisa: easy access by car, reasonable walking distance from all monuments and restaurants and very quiet position. Nice and comfortable rooms, convenient for families. We had a wonderful dinner at 'La Clessidra': (Address:Via Santa Cecilia, 34) Tuscany style restaurant. Take the Sea or Land discovery menus.

8.0

The hotel is well located. It is a pleasant walk to the leaning tower, just about 20 minutes away. I would definitely stay there again.

6.9

The employees were not welcoming with a lack of courtesy

9.3

Good English spoken by everyone on the 24/24 reception. All staff very friendly and efficient. Buffet breakfast of good standard. Hotel really is only 15 mins walk from the Leaning Tower etc. The Tower, Cathedral and Baptistry were more impressive than anything we saw in Florence, and the campagnile in which they are set is bigger and more peaceful than we had expected. Well worth paying to visit the interior of these monuments.

6.9

The breakfast room and the breakfast were really poor. Not all the employees are equally kind.The Hotel is in a traffic restricted area and so it's compulsory to quickly ask for a special pass, arriving in the Hotel (if you use your own car).

3.7

Would not recommend a stay at Hotel Verdi. Staff on duty during stay did not make us feel welcome, in fact upon check-in, we felt like we were disturbing the man on the desk (watching tv). Hotel room was clean but room overlooked a dirty 'courtyard' and there was an awful smell coming from the sink in the bathroom. So pungent was the smell that we had to put the plug in the sink when it wasn't being used!! Tried to get a drink in the bar during the evening - bar consisted of warm cola, fruit juice and two chairs. We had to keep walking back to Reception to be served as member of staff was busy setting up for breakfast the next day. Not much to do in Pisa apart from to visit the Tower which is a shame because it is a very attractive city. Would recommend staying overnight in the city if you have an early flight in the morning (as we had) but other than that, I would only spend an hour or two there. Will certainly not be returning to the Hotel Verdi!

8.2

Very nice place to stay for the italian standards. We will come back if we need to stay in Pisa. It is not so difficult to find, just follow the signs. When no signs, just go straight ahead. To the Hotel staff : please check the curtains, some have still original packaging which could make them inoperative !

We stayed two nights in Pisa in Hotel Verdi and arrived after midnight on the first night, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the room was very comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was delicious, the croissants were amazing. The hotel is situated close to all amenities in the town and the leaning tower is only a 15 minute walk away. I would highly recommend this hotel.

9.9

The hotel is even better than expected. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast excellent. Very clean everywhere and friendly employees. Location is also great - 10 minutes walk from Torre Pendente and 1 minute from an Osteria, which deserves a star in the Michelin Guide. The hotel can very much be recommended! We´ll be back! Best regards, Pernille Ipsen Denmark

7.2

Exactly as it was showed in the web. We arrived really late because of the plane and they were just there waiting for us. The bathroom was quite small, mainly the shower, althought all in all was good.

7.9

Nice and quiet hotel in walking distance from the Dome and many good restaurants. From the airport it is 10 minutes by taxi or 20 by bus. Good beds and nice bathroom.

2.2

I was very disapointed with my stay at this hotel. We had booked a triple room for one night (my mother, sister and myself) and we were give a double room with a fold out chair that converted into a single bed. The room was ice-cold and felt like the heating had not been turned on at all (not particularly good in January). We arrived on a late flight to Pisa, so we didn't get to the hotel until after midnight and at that stage we just needed to sleep. We all spent a very cold night there, but the bathroom faciltites and shower did seem to be fine the next morning & partially revived myself at least. Breakfast was okay, but nothing to write home about. It is about a twenty minutes walk away from the Leaning Tower and you will need to get a taxi to and from the airport and train station to get there. All in all, I wouldn't recommend staying in this hotel. The price and the quality of the facilities didn't match, and I was sorely disappointed with my stay there. The subsequent accommodation we had in Florence for around the same price was far superior.

9.9

Lovely room in nice smallish hotel in nice location. A good walk to the torre...but a great way to see the Pisa center.... and the old city center is a pretty easy to navigate walk. Nice room, great shower with excellent water pressure! Nice breakfast and very nice staff. If we are back in Pisa we will stay there again. Very clean. Very very good value for the money. The photo online shows only the front facade...this hotel is much nicer than the darkish photo indicates. We were able to park nearby which was convenient as well.

7.9

Good city centre location, parking a bit awkward. Good value family room. One receptionist much more helpful than another Great breakfast very clean rooms. No problem recommending this hotel to others, especially if you need to get an early flight from Pisa airport with Ryanair

7.3

Family room had plenty of space. The late night welcome was smooth and low key.

8.3

This is the first time we have visited Pisa. We found it a lovely and lively city. The area around the Leaning Tower was obviously busy but the heart of the city provided the true Italian picture - interesting streets,individual shops and superb restaurants (best ones off the main thoroughfares). The city was clean apart from graffiti in some areas. The Hotel Verdi is in a good central location for touring the area. The staff were helpful without being intrusive and is an excellent base for exploring. We visited the historic town of Lucca (20 mins by train)and would recommend a visit. In conclusion, Verdi is a good hotel which I would visit again.

2.9

The desk man was rude and a problem. I would not go back tpo this hotel!

7.6

Hotel très calme à deux pas du centre ville. Bon rapport qualité/prix, avec la possibilité de garer sa voiture à proximité sans semble-t-il aucun risque.

5.7

We arrived quite late at night at the hotel so it was helpful to have a 24 hour reception. The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from the station, opposite the law courts, and the surrounding area is quite pleasant and only a short walk to the central shopping district and an easy walk to the Leaning Tower. The room we had was very small and over crowded with furniture and I was initially disappointed, especially given the 115euro a night charge (Double room, B&B). There was a tiny en suite bathroom attached with a good shower. That said it was a nice big bed with a good firm mattress and fresh clean bedding so we slept well. The breakfast was continental but the best one we had in our stay in Italy - fresh baked croissants, ham, cheeses, fruit and juices. The room was very quiet indeed even though it faced onto the square. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay in a central location.

8.9

The hotel is fairly easy to reach from the train station; coming, we took the bus; going, we walked. The walk from the hotel to the campo di miracoli (Leaning Tower) is an easy 15mins, and goes through some of the nice piazzas and pedestrian areas of town. The neighbourhood of the hotel is a bit spooky at night (graffiti and empty streets), but nice restaurants and snack bars are nearby. The hotel staff was helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. Upon our arrival, the room was prepared as requested (with a baby cot). The lavatory was nice and everything worked. We heard absolutely no noise during our 1-night stay, either from outside or from within the hotel. The hotel breakfast is what you would expect, and competently presented: caffé and juice, pastries and breads, cheese and ham, cereal and milk.

8.3

Overall a very nice stay. When I booked, I asked for a cot to be made available for our 20 month old and it was there waiting for us when we arrived. There were also clean sheets and towels every day. Breakfast was OK - juice, coffee, bread/croisaents, cakes fruit etc. The only issue I had was that the Bar was either unattended or unstocked, but otherwise no complaints. It was a 10 minute walk to the tower and in a nice quiet area. I'd be happy to stay there again and will do if I go back to Pisa.

7.5

It is exactly as it sounds on the presentation, but the breakfast needs improvements, but globaly, very good hotel, I recommend it !

9.2

Very nice hotel. To be recommended.

9.9

A lovely hotel on a quiet square away from the bustle of the Leaning Tower but within easy walking distance. Our double room with an extra bed had plenty of space, was very clean, and had views over the square and neighbouring church. The area around the hotel has plenty of choices for eating out. I'd definitely recommend it - quiet, roomy, romantic.

9.0

Sehr gute Lokation. Parkplatz vorhanden !

8.9

This is an excellent hotel for a short-stay; we stayed only one night. Excellent position, very good breakfast, helpful staff, comfortable bed. I would certainly stay there again, and recommend it to friends.

7.8

Really good little hotel, very friendly, good location and lots of character. We stayed at the start and the end of our holiday and it was a good place to set us up for 2 weeks in Tuscany and to get us ready to return to the UK.

9.7

Hôtel bien situé, très facile d'accès ( le trouver en venant de Lucques a été un jeu d'enfant grâce au fléchage excellent ). Très bon rapport qualité/prix.Places de parking gratuites devant l'hôtel qui délivre une attestation provisoire de résidence.
