Hotel Alessandro Della Spina - Pisa

9.9

This hotel was ideal very close to the railway station (no more than 5 minutes walk, turn right outside the station, along two blocks and then up two block, hotel on right hand side near end of second block)and was quite grand inside, beautifully decorated, and with lovely wide corridors. Our room was on the first floor and was large, with air conditioning, and the en-suite bathroom was large and long, and contained toilet, bidet, sink, shower, shaving point and hairdryer. Breakfast was from 7 until 10 and was well stocked and regularly replenished to the end. Staff were polite and friendly and spoke good English. The were more than happy to look after our luggage after we had checked out, until the evening when our train was due to leave for the airport, allowing us to sight-see unencumbered for the rest of the day. I would recommend this hotel without reservation.

Excellent hotel for a stay in Pisa - not a city to linger in - see the tower etc and move on!

9.9

We always use this hotel in Pisa, close to the station, 5 minute taxi ride to the airport and 10 minute walk to the centre

Convenient, we walked there from the train station and to the tower. It's very convenient to shops and restaurants.

Das Hotel hat unsere Erwartungen erfüllt, es ist absolut empfehlenswert. Freundliche Hotelathmospäre, sauberes, ruhiges Zimmer. Obwohl wir ein Zustellbett mit im Raum hatten, war reichlich Platz. Ausgezeichnete Verkehrsanbindung: 10 min mit dem Flughafenbus, 5 min zu Fuß bis zum Bahnhof.

This is my 1st visit to Pisa. The hotel was just as described and perfect. The hotel is located 20mins from the leaning tower, but it nice walk passed shops and restaurants. We had a meal in a superb restaurant called Galileo recommended by the hotel. All in all a fab hotel, totally recommended.

9.8

The hotel had more character than I thought it would from the picture of the outside. The room was really nice, and staff exceptionally friendly. I would definately go back again, even though it is a bit of a walk into the main bit of Pisa.

8.3

Within walking distance of train station. Easy to get to Tower with bus from station. Wonderful breakfast.

9.8

We only stayed here for one night but it was a very nice stay, the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was lovely and the staff on the recpetion were very helpfull and nice. My only issue was in the morning when I went to have a shower, the plug was slow in getting rid of the water and I had to quickly finish before the water ran over. Apart from that I would definitly stay at this hotel again.

9.5

Handy for the station, but still in a quiet street. About 25 mins walk to Leaning Tower etc through the main shopping streets of Pisa. Staff recommended an excellent restaurant for dinner - great food, but very economical and family friendly.

9.8

Except the access to Hotel which was difficult due to the numerous works in the town and to arrival by night, the whole services and faclities where excellent.

9.9

A very comfortable hotel. Close to the station and airport. 25 minute walk to the leaning tower or 8 Euros in a taxi. Staff welcoming and attentive. Rooms clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay there again.

8.7

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms.

8.7

Excellent hospitality and convenience.Would certainly recommend it.

9.4

New, clean and comfortable. Very good breakfast. Very close to train station but it's a ways away from the sights.

8.8

Close to the action, we were able to walk where we needed to with 3 kids, (5,4,1). Very friendly staff and always helpful.

7.9

Good choice. I would recommend this hotel to my friends. Very nice room, well appointed and spacious bathroom. One of the best of all we had during our one month visit to Italy. Breakfast is o.k. In my opinion, it is a little overpriced, considering the surroundings.

8.6

Stayed 1 night in Oct 07. It was an easy walk from the station which was our main criteria as we were heading for Pisa airport for an early departure the following morning. I am sure many of the customers do the same thing which is a shame as this hotel is very good. The surrounding area as you walk from the station is a bit rough (as in most cities) but the hotel is an oasis of calm and light. We walked to the main sights in about 20 mins which was quite an interesting route. The room and bathroom were excellent. The breakfast buffet was OK. I would recommend this hotel for a longer stay.

9.1

very nice hotel,great location. breakfast was excellent and included in price would have been nice to have a bar there, overall very nice stay and the staff were very friendly.

8.1

Zimmer großzügig und das Frühstück für italienische Verhältnisse auch in Ordnung. Ruhige Lage.Allerdings sollte man bessere Informationen für Bahn- und Busreisende erhalten (richtiger Busbahnhof, um nach Marina del Pisa zu gelangen, dass man seine Zugfahrkarten vor Antritt entwerten muss, ebenso wie für zwei weitere Paare in einem (!) Abteil wurden 40 Euro fällig!Sonst: Empfehlenswert.

9.5

This is a very good little hotel, with friendly and effecient staff. It is well appointed and ideally located for arrival at the railway station - five minutes walk- and only minutes by taxi from the airport. However, be prepared for a fairly long, if interesting, walk to get to the main attractions such as the leaning tower. On arrival it seemed to be located in a rather run down area but in the end this did not detract from the overall quality of the hotel. We did not feel unsafe getting around at night - but this is a difficult perception to evaluate when travelling in a strange town. Looking for a good restaurant not far from the hotel? We would recommend the Galileo - ask the hotel for directions as tourists would not find it easily in its off main street location The Italians eat there and it is very good value for fine food and service - booking may be necessary and you should have your phrase book handy as the welcoming staff were not all well versed in English.

9.6

Warm welcome, spacious quiet room and bathroom, very clean and in excellent condition. Location convenient for railway station and a short pleasant walk to river and then old town.

8.6

We stayed here for one night. It's just a 10 minute walk from the train station which is really convenient for train connections across Tuscany, and for getting to Pisa airport. It's about a 20 minute walk from the Leaning Tower and main attractions. Although the area is not the best as it's close to the train station, we felt quite safe. The hotel was very clean, modern and the room quiet and comfortable. Staff were very welcoming Breakfast was continental as in most Italian hotels, and was good. I'd recommend staying here and would stay again!

9.1

Very clean and comfortable. Solid furniture. Liked the electric shutter. Would have liked a remote control for the Aircon but that's being picky. Breakfast substantial by Italian standards. BBC World on the TV. It takes around 30 mins to walk to the tower but via a pleasant walk down the main street (Corsa d'Italia)to the river Arno.

9.1

seul le petit dejeuner n'est pas en rapport avec le reste

7.9

Second stay here and again very satisfactory. Staff very helpful and was assigned a large attractive room. Will use this hotel again.

7.8

Excellent hotel and close to station and airport. Surroundings not the best and a long way from the tourist spots. However would be happy to stay again.

8.4

This hotel was very welcoming, the staff were very helpful and pleasant and the room was extremely clean and spacious. The breakfasts were delicious. The only complaint I would have is the walls were not very sound proof at all!

10

We were very pleasantly surprised when we got into the hotel, the outside doesn't seem that wonderful but it is hidden behind unimposing buildings. The interior of the hotel is wonderful, the rooms were probably the best we stayed in whilst in Italy. Spacious, clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Secure parking is an added bonus and the walk to the tower etc wasn't very far at all and enabled us to see more of the centre of Pisa on the way.

8.7

Great hotel! Highly recommended! Don't be deceived by the neighborhood! Rooms and bathrooms are big and clean. Air condition works perfectly. Staff very nice and helpful. 5 minutes by car from the airport, 10 minutes to the Tower. Don’t forget to visit Ristorante Galileo just 10 minutes walk from the hotel (ask the staff for directions) – phenomenal food!

9.5

We had a great stay at this hotel. Staff was very friendly, the quality of food during breakfast was great as well! We really liked the fact of staying at a small and cozy hotel.

9.7

It is an excellent hotel.

8.4

The hotel was very clean and the rooms spacious but the air-conditioning was very disappointing - our room temperature never got below 28 degrees. We were told by the receptionist that there was nothing they could do about it, it was working fine.He told us the rooms were too big for the air-conditioning unit.

8.9

The hotel is really close to the train station, which is very handy, but a fair walk to the tower. Employees are so helpful with local info, train timetables etc, and any other requests. Breakfast was also lovely

9.1

What a brilliant stay! I was a little worried about booking this hotel as it is quite close to the train station. However, even though the area is a little rough around the edges, my friend and I never felt unsafe walking alone in the evenings. The proximity to the station (5 minutes' walk!) proved to be an immense bonus as we were able to hop on trains to Florence and Lucca with a minimum of fuss. A taxi from the airport late at night cost only €8. As for the hotel itself, the twin room ensuite was huge, spotless and very quiet. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially Chiara who had been assisting me via email before our arrival as well. Breakfast was continental, tasty and filling with excellent espresso on demand! The only negative thing I can say about the Hotel is that it would be nice to have a bar where clients could have a drink after dinner, since we did not want to stay out too late by ourselves and there were limited restaurants etc in the area. Pisa itself isn't much to rave about, but as a base to explore Tuscany, this hotel is a MUST and I will definitely return. GRAZIE!

8.2

We were a family of four, two adults and two teenagers. The hotel was lovely, my children's room (twin) was very pretty and spacious but the double room allocated to myself and my husband was palatial! Huge and very nicely furnished with windows on two walls and a terrace around two sides. It was the Magnolia room - worth asking for! The location was not so good, although it was in line with what we expected, given the comments by other visitors - the area mainly residential and not very scenic, but OK. A longish walk to the main areas of Pisa and the Piazza dei Miracoli but we didn't mind. All in all a good hotel for the price and I would definitely stay here again.

8.8

Room was modern,well designed. television,safe and mini-bar all in one slim cabinet, very neat. Electrically operated metal exterior screen over window kept out the strong sun. Bathroom largish, mostly tiled, spotless,recently fitted out I would guess, and water hot. Air conditioning efficient and quiet. Breakfast adequate. The hotel is within walking distance of the station and well situated for a short visit to take in the tower (take the no 4 bus from the station if it's too hot to walk it all). There is an excellent Italian restaurant within 100 metres or so which name I have forgotten (begins with B). The hotel will know it.

8.7

The third bed was not good enought. The room was very clean, big and beautiful. The bathroom had a comfortable bathtub. Nice and quitness. Very good hotel.

8.4

A good hotel in Pisa, within waking distance of the historic centre and the inclined tower. The hotel is in vey good shape, with spacious roms well furnished. It has its onw parking, which is very convenient. Access to Internet is limited to one computer and not after hours (12:00 PM). There is a good reataurant pizzeria very close to the hotel. I stayed in two rooms (whe were 5 people), one triple and one double. The double room is a single double bed, the tripe has an extra small bed.

9.8

I have stayed in the Allesandro twice. It is a lovely hotel in a quiet location in Pisa. It is within walking distance from the airport and from the all the main tourist spots (leaning tower is about a 20 minute walk). It isn't in the prettiest location but if you want somewhere comfortable and quiet to stay it is perfect.

9.6

this is a really lovely hotel ideally located for both the bus and train stations. It is about a 20 minutes walk to the Tower but is very pleasant. Staff were very helpful and the recommended restaurants were very good. Only thing I would recommend to the hotel is a toaster for breakfast and perhaps some chairs in the small garden. It seems a shame that they have a garden but no where to sit.

9.5

We really enjoyed staying at Hotel Alessandro Della Spina. The room was exceptionally clean. The bathroom was spacious and equally spotless. Breakfast was fine with a variety of fruits and pastries. The hotel is within walking distance of the main attractions in Pisa. We would definitely stay here again!
