Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were clean but dated and suffered from noise disturbances early in the morning. The maintenance issues with the toilet and hot water were disappointing, but the friendly staff somewhat made up for it. The location was industrial and required a taxi for outings, yet it was close to the airport without noise disturbances from planes. The dining options were limited for vegetarians, but the bar snacks were decent. Despite some drawbacks, the staff's behavior and the proximity to the airport were positives.
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it easy to reach by car. The rooms are clean, reasonably spacious, and feature an elevated flat screen TV. The staff is polite and helpful, although not overly friendly. The dining options are average but open early. The location is a bit dark and industrial, with limited footpath access. Overall, it's a good choice for travelers needing proximity to the airport.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms, while spacious, are a bit dated and in need of refurbishment, but they do the job for short stays without breaking the bank. On the downside, issues like a dripping toilet and lack of hot water affected my overall experience. However, the cleanliness and ample space were impressive highlights.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I stayed in was comfortable and quiet, but it had a terrible smell of urine and cigarettes. The setup was more suitable for a single guest, and the amenities provided were limited. However, the service was top-notch, making my 6-day stay enjoyable. The location was not ideal, lacking character and surrounded by industrial areas, but it was relatively close to the main attraction, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The dining experience offered a decent selection of items, although some options were not to my liking.
The hotel was good, just a stopover for the airport, but it was comfortable. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable; however, lacked any services, not even a kettle to boil water. The service was extremely helpful, finding toothpaste and helping with new boarding passes for flights later in the week. The location is near Pisa Airport, making it convenient for airport access; however, it is located outside of city center Pisa. The dining experience was disappointing, almost like cardboard. The facilities were just basic without any notable features.
