Villa di Pisa

I booked one day to just sleep over at this place, but really loved its service and the facilities. Breakfast was tasty and had multiple options. The only minus is the location, which is around 25 minutes' walk to the city center and 40 minutes to the railway station.

Great location, it’s a small 20 minutes walk to the leaning tower of Pisa but it goes by so fast. The hotel is in the city centre, next to the shopping area. Staff at the hotel was super friendly and helpful. Clean hotel and amazing bed with good pillows.

A 5 minute walk from Pisa, very helpful and friendly staff 24 hours. There isnt a lift, however staff insisted in carrying our bags up the stairs, very helpful! We were late to breakfast, and they still accommodated for us (a couple). They set up a Private breakfast for us to in the bar dining on the ground floor, asked what we wanted to eat and drink, and kept coming back to see if it was enough. It included pancakes, eggs, toast, pastries, cappuchino with pretty coffee art, teas, spreads, homemade cake, juice. They brought us more when they came pass. Highly recommend this stay :) well worth the money!

This hotel is over my expectations!! Highly recommend to stay here when you visit Milan. - Perfect location, 2 minutes walk to the Plazza del Duomo, many good restaurants on the same street, a carrefour express opposite to hotel entrance if you want to buy any essentials - The rooftop open to in-house guest are 100% plus, you can capture the key landmarks in one picture - Staff are nice and helpful if you need a taxi to train station or airport - Room is big and clean, however the water pressure is too big and hard to control - Breakfast is fair as it’s included, could have added more hot items

The hotel is relatively close to the airport, but far from the city, the hotel room does not provide anything (no water), it takes about 15 minutes to walk out of the small supermarket, in fact, all good.

Terrible hotel- dirty, leaks in the bathroom and horrendous staff. Only positive was the food was good. We asked to move rooms because there was a drilling tools exhibition outside our bedroom from 9-10pm whilst we were trying to sleep because Vueling airlines had canceled our flight and put us on a flight which required us to be collected at 3:45am the following morning. We were also told that the people running the exhibition had booked the hotel before us and could make noise until 12am. Staff like this will cause the hotel to have no more guests- good luck.

It was only a short trip of two days in Pisa before moving on to Palermo. My first time in Pisa. So we tried to book a cheap hotel room there because we would be out exploring the area and only needed a place to sleep. Pros: The Hotel IL Giardino is situated behind the historic retaining wall of the Piazza dei Miracoli. It's only 5 minutes on foot from the hotel to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, only half a minute walking before you can see the tower. The bed was fairly comfortable and there was a little fridge in my room. The hotel feels safe and has suitable door locking systems. The staff are friendly and kind. The roof terrace is quiet and cozy. Cons: Unfortunately my room doesn't have windows, only a skylight that couldn't be opened. The only fresh air was exclusively from the air conditioner. No lamp on the bedside table. Warm water in the shower doesn't come until after 5 minutes and with low pressure. The room door lock is very loud when opening and closing, especially at night when the people are asleep, also impossible to close door quietly and a loud beeping when the key card is used. The walls are poorly soundproofed. There is a little bar inside, but it was closed over the whole time we stayed there. My travel partner moved into the room opposite to mine. His room was a little better, a bedside lamp, better partitioning of the room, but also no windows in the walls. Really annoying: I paid the same as my travel partner for a different state of quality and comfort. Summary: The Hotel Il Giardino has allegedly better and more comfortable rooms in the premises. If you are traveling through and stay for a night or two, and you don't want to really reside there, this kind of room may a solution - if you don't have claustrophobia. But: the value for money is bad. It is relatively expensive, because of the famous sights there. + clean house and clean rooms + close to the Leaning Tower of Pisa + secure room door locks + fairly comfortable bed + little fridge in the room + air conditioner in single room + nice rooftop terrace + nice staff - no windows inside - no possibility to open the single skylight - no fresh air from windows possible - cold to tepid water temparature in the shower - claustrophobic ambience - slightly poor soundproofed walls - very loud door lock - low value for money

Access is via a galleria and sadly dilapidated as some units are empty. However once through the doors, everything is as it should be. Friendly and helpful, English speaking staff. The hotel is literally 2 minutes from the main station and although that means that it is the opposite side of town from the Leaning Tower, no distances in Pisa are that large. We had one outstanding breakfast and had to leave too early to get a second. However we should have accepted the offer of a packed breakfast as Pisa airport had little to offer and at higher cost. Once you have done the Cathedral, Leaning Tower, etc. then a walk on the city walls is highly to be recommended. If you have time walk the full 3km.
