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.
