Guest Reviews

• Alexandra (6/5): Great location, but noisy - Great location, only a short walk to the tower. However our room was right by reception and it was very noisy. We didn't get much sleep, but were only there for one night so it wasn't too bad.
• Sarah (6/5): Cheap and very basic but great location - Great location and lovely building. Friendly and helpful receptionist. The room was very basic and a bit shabby but the sheets were clean. Bathroom located down the corridor which wasn’t ideal, but it was a bargain price for the location.
• Peter L (8/5): Lovely location provided it's cool! - Close to the main sites, clean and tidy and friendly reception but room was very hot!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Bellissimo e caldissimo - Bellissimo e vicinissimo al centro ma senza aria condizionata...
• christian (8/5): Bon hotel. - Hôtel au premier étage d'une maison bourgeoise, chambre d'aspect ancien mais propre. Accueil charmant. Proximité de la tour et du centre ancien. Parking payant proche.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel molto gradevole molto vicino alla Piazza dei Miracoli
• FERNANDO (8/5): Excelente servicio - Muy buen servicio y atenciones sobre todo de franchesca. Nos localizó para guiarnos respecto a horarios de hospedaje y tips de llegada. Servicio muy bueno y de calidad
• Claudie (6/5): chambre décevante - bon accueil, quartier sympas, chambre vieillotte, salle d'eau vétuste, pas de clim, je ne recommande pas...
• CARLOS (6/5): No fue lo esperado - Por el precio creia que era un hotel mas confortable.. El baño muy chico, apenas subia el agua. Falta mantencion
• juan (6/5): ojo con los mosquitos - Recomiendo llevar protección para los mosquitos, en la habitación y en las calles. Falta de aire acondicionado y baño propio.
• Scott (10/5): Great room, great price,high walk ability score! - We stayed in Pisa one day and this hotel was the perfect spot. 20 min walk from the train station, and 5 minute walk to the tower. Room had great character, was clean and comfy and when we get home we are going to look for their towels.
• Verified traveler (8/5): comodo per visitare il centro di pisa - ottima posizione per visitare la città e va bene anche peri bambini
• Corinne (10/5): Excellent rapport qualité prix - Chambre bien chauffée en hiver !
• olga (10/5): A nice place for a few nights. - Location is perfect, the room is modest, but has everything needed. The towels are perfectly white. Francesca, the hostess, was very nice and helpful.
• Romina (8/5): - Posizione ottima, proprietarie molto cortesi e disponibili, buono rapporto qualità prezzo presso alcune osterie/trattorie consigliate.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Buona posizione e buono il prezzo. La struttura è molto bella, un po' meno l'arredamento ed i letti.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice traditional room with private bathroom - We had a triple room with a double bed and one single. Nice and clean big room with a traditional Italian decor, includes a sofa and private bathroom which seems to be hard to find at this price range in Pisa. Filter Cafe opposite hotel offers excellent breakfast with discount for guests staying at hotel. Close to the Leaning Tower, 6/7 minutes walk. Only issue we had were the mosquitoes.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Estancia muy comoda. El personal del Hotel nos ha puesto mil facilidades en todo. Muy centrico y en calle tranquila cerca de todo. MUY recomendable
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Not at all what we expected. Had to walk through a garage and up flight of stairs to find front desk. Very sparse with no normal amenities. Ladies at front desk were very nice.
• Cédric (8/5): - Hôtel très bien situé et un très bon accueil par contre un établissement un peu vétuste...
• Verified traveler (2/5): - una buona camera, anche per 4/5 persone:stanzaun pochino fané' ma comunquebuona di un grande appartamento,ottima posizione per visitare duomo e torre di Pisa
• Frédéric (10/5): Excellent hotel a Pise - J'ai réservé cet hotel pour notre famille (4 personnes) et nous avons eu un appartement sublime, par contre pas d'air conditionné. L'hotel est situé au 1er etage d'un ancien palazzio qui a été transformé au centre de Pise. A voir et revoir.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient location - Good hotel, clean, family room was big enough for our family of 4. Easy walking to the tower. Lots of cafes, and a grocery store very close by,
• Kim (4/5): Poor hotel, yet nice location - We had the suite, which was a bigger room, about 5 x 5 meters plus bathroom. No aircon, and that is a problem in July. No facilities at the hotel. This is a place where you spent the night and nothing more. Nice location.
• jason (4/5): Uncomfortably HOT!! - The overall hotel was nice, but it was unbeilevably hot and uncomfortable. The hotel had no AC and it was close to 95 degrees. The window had to be left open and there were people talking and partying outside until 0130, I could hear them through my ear plugs. I woke up several times in a hot sweat. We even asked if there was a fan we could have and they had nothing. I would only recommend this hotel in the winter when it is cool outside. On the other hand, the staff was nice and very helpful.
• Alina (10/5): Recomendado - Muy agradable, muy responsables, Francesca la chica de recepción fue muy amable y nos esperó para darnos todas las indicaciones. Se esmeró por atendernos bien. Tranquilo y bien ubicado. Solo un detalle, la cama "matrinomial" son en realidad dos camas individuales no muy bien unidas.
• oscar (2/5): estafa - nunca me aloje. llegue al hotel luego de subir 3 escaleras acarreando mis 2 valijas y me respondieron que no tenian lugar y que la reservacion era para el mes siguiente. me fui a otro hotel con idea de regresar al dia siguiente pero como por el esfuerzo fisico empece con lumbalgia hable por telefono diciendo que no podia regresar. el 25 de abril llego a mi resumen de tarjeta de credito un descuento de 70Euros o su equivalente en U$S 76,27. por un dia de alojamiento en el hotel Galileo.Si no les ubiera avisado tendrian derecho a decirme le cobramos porque mantuvimos su reservacion todo el dia,pero les insisto hable por te. antes de desayunar al ver la dificultad que me significaba volver a acarrear las valijas por esas escaleras.
• Lorraine (10/5): Charmed in Pisa - The Hotel Galileo met and exceeded our expectations. What some people might call lacking in amenities, we feel the hotel more than made up for in charm and authentiscity! It's location is in excellent walking distance to a river walk along the Arno River, beautiful shopping areas, eateries, the train station and of course the Leaning Tower. The hotel does not provide breakfast but there is a really cool coffee shop across the street called Filter, that serves excellent coffee which compliments it's breakfast and lunch menu. We would definitely stay there again and would also recommend it
• Verified traveler (8/5): Central location at a bargain price. - The location of this hotel is excellent for all of the major tourist sites and only a 10 minute walk from the Pisa Centrale. The hotel isn't fancy by any means, but is very clean and comfortable. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful with recommending local restaurants and sites to see (other than the tower).
• Casandra (8/5): Good balance: location and price - The hotel location is amazing, you can walk everywhere. Nevertheless, if you arrive by car, it is located in a restricted area, but they can help you to arrange a temporal permit to drive in and park in front of it. Our room was huge for European standards :) ... all amenities necessary to spend a comfy night. Front desk lady was really nice and helpful. The only negative point was that we booked the room for 4 people, and apparently it was only for 3 people. But they were pretty helpful to solve the situation. Definitely have it it mind if I come back to Pisa.
• Enzo (10/5): Hotel pulito ed economico - Personale gentilissimo e disponibile,camere confortevoli e pulite.
• Mathieu (6/5): close to everything but extremely noisy - great service, great place, great price quality balance but extremely noisy, between the thin walls of the hotel and the huge noice of the street ( 1st floor with thin windows ) I woke up almost every hour ! same for my girlfriend...
• Verified traveler (10/5): Qualità con risparmio - In pieno centro e con la zona ben servita (la miglior colazione di Pisa è esattamente di fronte all'albergo, nel vicolo a fianco ci sono invece 2 enoteche, un ristorantino vegano, e tutto senza contare la Piazza alle sue spalle). Edificio e struttura sono eleganti e raffinati, lo staff gentilissimo e disponibile. Servizi del genere all'estero avrebbero almeno 2 stelle in più. Quando tornerò a Pisa saprò dove andare!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel in centro di Pisa - Ottima posizione centrale. Non è prevista la colazione ma ci sono diversi bar e pasticcerie a due passi. Personale molto disponibile e gentile. L'unico problema è stato il rumore che si sentiva quando qualcuno passava nella stradina sotto alla nostra finestra.. per fortuna non molto frequentata. Ottimo prezzo qualità.
• Tazeen (8/5): Convenient - Amazing
• Rosa (4/5): Trascurato - Personale gentilissimo e posizione ottima ma caro, neanche colazione inclusa!
• Verified traveler (8/5): In pieno centro a Pisa - Soggiorno di una notta (in concomitanza del Lucca Comics). Agevole raggiungerlo nonostante sia in zona rossa a traffico limitato ma si dispone di accesso per 24 ore e possibilità di parcheggio con pass comunale. Camera confortevole e silenziosa e soprattuttopulita
• Nikolas (8/5): Céntrico - A pesar de que cuando llegamos al hotel nos dijeron que nuestro cuarto tenía un un conveniente y no podríamos alojarnos ahí, el personal ya había coordinado de antemano nuestra relocalizacion en un hotel vecino, sin ningún cargo adicional.
• Dorthe Strøm (6/5): Godt til prisen - Rent, pænt. Godt kvarter. Udmærket morgenmad på cafe overfor hotellet. Meget smalle senge.
• Plamena (10/5): Perfect small city hotel with top location - Super clean hotel with comfortable room. Best quality of service - lovely staff with perfect english, very very kind! Private bathroom, free fast wi fi in the room, hot water non stop, top location. Only 3-4min walk from the tower and 10-15min with public bus from airport. Just more then perfect for this price!
• Luigi (2/5): Hotel bruttissimo - Struttura vecchia senza manutenzione. Bagno piccolissimo e scomodo.
• Verified traveler (8/5): sosta d'urgenza - ci siamo fermati due giorni al volo, per quanto pagato va piu che bene. struttura modesta con personale disponibilissimo
• Kelly (8/5): Close to tower - Reception hostess was very nice and welcoming. I booked a shared bathroom but it was private, just not in the room. But there was a sink in the room. Close to leaning tower, a straight shot down the street. Arno river down the street in opposite direction. Coffee place right across the street, as well as plenty of restaurants and coffee places further along. Hallway echoes! I wasn't disturbed, I sure hope I didn't disturb anyone, as the keys when opening the doors were very loud.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Hotel close to pisa tower. - Staff does not speak english and they don't have 24 hour services. No AC, no elevator and beds are not comfertable . I would not recommend it .
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Wonderful 18th century "palazzo". Incredible staircase! Very close to everything worth seeing in Pisa.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I was pleasantly surprised. The bathroom was newly renovated and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The room was a good size for our family of 5.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Noisy hotel in a decent location. - The family that owned this hotel were lovely. Unfortunately the hotel was next to an extremely noisy road which had people shouting out every night to the early hours of the morning. Also the rooms were right next to the reception desk which meant you could hear everyone coming and going throughout the whole night. The fanlight above the door let copious amounts of light flood the room right through the night. Stayed 4 nights and didn't get a decent night sleep. This hotel is in a great location near to the tower but would spend a little extra and go elsewhere.
• Frank (8/5): Gotta love those tiny elevators! - Parking in the immediate area is not allowed but we easily found a spot about 200 meters away. The reception area is up one level from the street but an elevator gets you to the second floor reception area. Our room was up one floor from there. Bed was comfortably firm. Clean and very friendly.
• Sam (8/5): Very authentic property in the heart of the city - Such a cool and traditional property. In the heart of the city but yet quiet at night. Close to the Tower and lots of great cafes and restaurants. We will be back. Thanks to the helpful staff.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Absolute NO-GO - The building is old, but the rooms are not without charm. The rooms are clean and the hotel itself is located close to coffee places, restaurants and atractions. Other than that this was the worst hotel experience I can think of. It is one thing that the shower and toilette were not functioning (shower always turning hot and cold by itself and toilette not flushing), the small heater for this huge and cold room (weather was also cold) was in a bad condition. Furthermore there is no elevator and there are some good steps to reach the first floor, so if you are taking some heavy bags you might find it difficult to take them up to your room (nobody will help you with them either). The wi-fi signal was low to non-existant in the room. What was really beyond imagination, was the unfriendly guest treatment. After the already unpleasant first night due to the described aspects above, the first thing (no "good morning" or "do you have a moment of time") we were met with when steping out of our room in the morning was the mother of the owner barking at us in italian and the owner lecturing us about a misunderstanding regarding the check-in time. Never in my life have I come across such unprofessional guest treatment! This italian "1- star hotel", which can not be considered more than a hostel is an absolute NO-GO.
