Eclectic and eccentric, harking back to a different time and a different world. Walk into the entrance hall and you step back in time and you are in esteemed company as the list of famous guests is a Who’s Who are those on the European tour. The rooms throughout the hotel ooze history. However, don’t expect all of today’s modern hotel luxuries, staying here is much more than staying in one of those chain hotels which could be anywhere in the world. Here you are clearly in Italy and Pisa is all around as the hotel is centrally located overlooking the river. A short walk from the railway station and the station easily connects to the airport via the Pisamover. Breakfast is buffet style and more than adequate, the roof terrace is a good space to sit, chat and relax with a drink. However, do explore the whole of the hotel, it is full of interesting exhibits, pictures and pianos! Staff are so helpful and friendly and the room rates are more than reasonable. For a few euros more a night upgrade to a superior room and enjoy more space, more items of a by gone age and often an enhanced view. This was my second stay and I will be more than happy to return!

We booked the classic room, with a special request to be on lowest floor possible (elevators can be spotty in historic properties). Staff, who were great, accommodated the request and gave us a room thay exceded my expectations. Decorated in 1930s, the room was filled with antiques. Bed was comfortable. Bath had a hand held shower. Stayed two nigjts. The first night revelers made it hard to sleep, but second night the noise was not too bad. Breakfast was very good and nice to hear cool jazz while sitting in a charming salon.

We had a questionable room. The antique bed springs sagged like 75 yrs old. The shower door was half missing. Bathroom is old style. Screen on bathroom window torn badly. Poor lighting options. TV 12 in. No garbage bin...etc. However the hotel structure, bones, history, antiques are a good as any museum. Location I like right on river. We had view of tower. Many many rooms looked quite desireable as we cruised the historical hotel. But ours was not very good. Price is ok though. Survivable for one night. Pretty good breakfast in great room. Hotel needs some money I think.

We loved our stay at The Royal Victoria Hotel in Pisa. It was our first night in Italy before travelling to different cities and it was definitely one to remember. The staff were very helpful as we arrived early, however they showed us to a bathroom so we could get changed into fresh clothes and held our luggage for us until check-in. The room was unique we loved the interior - the hotel itself is like a museum! There is also a secret terrace where we were served cocktails by a very friendly waiter. The breakfast was my favourite it Italy! Lots of choice and again, very friendly staff there to help you. 10/10 stay 😊

The room and building was fantastic with old details. Service was good. The breakfast was OK but it didn’t really allow people who want to eat healthy. It had a lot of semi-finished products and the breakfast just wasn’t what I had expected. There is no air conditioner in the rooms and the night was terrible. It was sooooo warm and the windows didn’t open. The location of the hotel is very good close to the river with a magnificent view over the river. Over all 2/5. I will not be coming back.

I love old classics hotels & this 1 fits the bill perfectly. The place is very well maintained, clean & friendly desk person. It has history for sure & is not you average hotel, all the floors are unique & have lots of antiques. My room was very good, although the bed could have been a little firmer. The bathroom was fun with a great tub. The breakfast was very good but get there early as things tend to run out. I would stay here again. The hotel is very well located overlooking the river.

This property was a good pit stop on Pisa. It was perfect for a quick stay whilst passing through and visiting the leaning tower. The hotel was a bit dated and the air conditioning not great. The bathroom wasn’t the best and could do with better ventilation. Staff were polite and breakfast was standard.

Great stay in a great hotel. Only thing that was missing was air con in the room. I could see a unit but no remote. To be fair I didn't call down to room service to ask for one which is on me but overall I think 4 stars is a fair review of everything all in all. Would stay again.

After the initial reaction to the endearing period pieces of and in the property, the cracks in the facade became all too apparent. Dodgy electrics, one of our rooms had air conditioning that didn't work unless you wiggled the plug, and then it wasn't good. It could be beautiful but needs money spent on it to bring it up to scratch. The position is so covenient for walking to all the sights, transport stations and restaurants. Local youths used the area outside the hotel by the river to party most nights and we were kept awake until the early hours. A lot of refurbishment needs to be done to bring this beautiful hotel back to it's former glory.

The oldest hotel in Pisa which was really lovely to be in, the history and the decor was breath-taking. Breatfast wasn't wow, a little disappointed we requested well in advance a twin bed and we were given a double bed, which is awkward when you're travelling with a friend, but for 1 night we made do.

The staff was so kind and helpful and spoke great English! I would not recommend parking in their garage, but there was easy public parking nearby. The hotel is in a great location to be around the action of Pisa. The breakfast was a nice treat too! Don’t expect a modern hotel, this place has a wonderful olden charm. Self proclaimed first hotel in Europe! It’s like a museum and a hotel in one!

Pisa is a very nice city, and the Hotel is very well located, unfortunately needs some maintenance. Room comfortable, and good breakfast, the waitress Sacha made our day, very good and friendly. Unfortunately the Hotel does not have a bar, which could be a great plus, but you can order a drink from Room Service and will be delivered os at Reception area or at the patio located at top floor, which could be better kept. But as the location is great and around there are few options of restaurants and bars.

Very well located in Pisa centre, very close to restaurants and bars and a 15 min walk to Pisa Tower. The hotel has a very interesting decor full of history, the staff is super friendly and attentive. The hotel is a bit tired, especially in the bedrooms, in need of a renovation. Nevertheless, for a short stay in Pisa, definitely recommend it.

Most historic hotels have been lovingly restored to their former glory so guests can imagine what it would have been like to stay in their heyday. Sadly, not so here. It’s just an old hotel that feels more like a museum of mismatched items with no attention to maintaining period relevant details. The bed was a thin mattress on top of a flimsy, spring frame that squeaked and rattled. The room had loose floor tiles and the fixtures look like they are from Home Depot. There was peeling paint and stains on the walls. The very old air conditioning wall unit could only be operated by the handyman with a remote control. We had to call to have it turned on when we arrived and then again to have the temp adjusted before bedtime. We were there during moderate temp days so we could have opened the windows but hotel is on the river with a busy street so lots of street noise. There was mold in the shower which is just large enough for an average sized adult. If you are even slightly larger than average you will not fit. Finally, the furniture was simply old and our room included one badly stained and frayed chair that should not have been included in a guest room by any stretch of the imagination. We had high hopes for breakfast on our last morning in Italy but were met with store bought, packaged items and a musty smelling breakfast room. We love historic hotels but sadly the Royal Victoria was a disappointment.

The hotel is old and needs renovating. Not necessarily ripping everything out but updating and redecorating sensitively. A lot of the original features are great and the place has the air of a once grand hotel. However basic maintenance isn’t being done. Tiles were absent or loose everywhere. The paintwork was flaked or worn on many areas. there was only luke warm water. The shower fitting was broken. The TV wasn’t attached to the aerial or any input device. Lastly, the room we were in had broken glass all over the floor. This was dangerous and also suggests the room wasn’t cleaned before we went in. A very disappointing visit.

It was so unfortunate that the amenities and staff were so poor because the hotel itself is stunning. There was no hot water, ever, at all. The wifi didn’t work and the staff were weird and completely unfriendly including management. It’s almost as if they work at a museum and not a hotel. This place has a ton of history and great potential, if you can laugh about the misfortunes like we did it will be a good experience, for one night only.
