I was underwhelmed by this hotel. The only up side is it’s close to the airport.

An acceptable base hotel for Tuscany travels
This hotel is the equivalent of a Travelodge in the UK, minus the tea and coffee making facilities. It's on the edge of an industrial area with the tower JUST visible in the distance, and Google maps said it was within walking distance of the airport, which it absolutely is, but not the route Google recommends! We like a walk, to balance out the pizza and pasta calories, so the fact it wasn't in the centre of city wasn't an issue for us, and the price was right. The bed was super wide, but a bit hard. One English-speaking TV channel. The actual condition of the hotel is maybe a bit concerning: some cracks on the internal walls, the bathroom floor seemed to slope, and although there was a sticker on the window saying it had restricted opening, the tilt facility didn't work and I was able to open the window fully - not great if your family has younger children as we were on the 6th floor! We only ate in the hotel once, for complimentary breakfast, and it was fine - a buffet with a decent selection. The restaurant menu was expensive compared to eating in the city, which surprised me. There were lots of workmen and airport workers based in the hotel, which sums it up for me - great for an overnight stay or (as in our case), a base for exploring if all you need is somewhere to sleep. Last point - their computer system wasnt working properly when we checked out and they didn't ask me for the €16 city tax. I would happily have paid this, and they're now chasing me for it...

Not Connected To Anywhere
"connected to a railway/underground station" - no it is not. The staff tried to tell me that connected meant that it is nearby - it does not and it is not even near by. 17 euros to the airport and 11 euros from the train station by taxi - which was the only possible route according to both the staff and google. Room was dated, but done the job for a quick overnight before flying, but simply false advertising as there is no public transport in the vicinity. "we can call you a taxi" is not connected.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel in any way that I have ever been to. The photographer who took the promotion shots deserves a medal or award, he managed to take a shabby prison like property and make it look a million dollars. Take my advice and stay anywhere else, the taxi will still cost the same wherever you stay in Pisa, ( 15 euros to go around the corner). I must say that breakfast was good. I could go on about other things that disprove this property as 4 star but I don’t want to bore you.

Perfect for airport
The staff were exceptionally lovely. From the pictures on the website, it looks really modern but it is really dated in the bedrooms. Asked for smoke-free room but I could clearly smell cigarettes. Beds were extremely hard. Breakfast was good - cheese, meats, yogurts juices, cakes and good coffee. They kindly kept our luggage while we visited Pisa. We had to get a taxi as no buses running to hotel from either the airport or the city of Pisa.

Proximity to Pisa airport. Restaurant needs improvement. The meal we had was not appealing and the taste and texture was only marginally better. The bread looked as if it had been frozen and tasted like it.

Enjoyed a lovely break at this hotel
Lovely hotel. Very clean. Our room was lovely. Air con kept switching off and there was no remote control so we had to keep getting up to switch it back on. View was lovely. Definitely needed a car to stay at this hotel as it's a little far from places but the walk into town was about 30 mins (very slow because the weather was in the 30's). Nothing to fault. Breakfast was great as it ran from 7 to 10.30 which is much longer than other hotels. Selection of breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again.

Not only were we not told we had to personally request they turn each room’s air conditioning on at the front desk, but they then also failed to tell us it automatically goes off at 11 pm! We sweltered and hardly slept . That’s insane and can’t comprehend how this is even possible in a major city in a Western European country. Absolutely do NOT stay here if you want air conditioning.

We arrived late, and couldn't get any food at the bar / bistro, staff were not interested in serving us. We walked to a local restaurant which was exceptional, not the based location to walk around though, as it is in an industrial part of the city.

The reception staff was great with a quick check in and willing to answer questions. However, the service at the bar was below par. The person working there was unwilling to make fresh food and would only offer me sub-type sandwiches that had been made ten hours before. Otherwise my checkin was good.
