NH Pisa

We selected the hotel as it was close to Pisa Centrale (across the street for the train station) but we ended up driving to the airport and never took any train. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was fully equipped. The breakfast had plenty of options; it seems to be impossible for the food in Italy not to be good. The area --as apparently all areas around train stations-- was not the best. Nevertheless it was not a deal breaker.

Last hotel of the trip and as I have stayed here before and the location is excellent for the trains etc. I stayed here for 2 nights before returning home. Arrived before the official checkin time so the room was not ready so left the bags until later. You can either pay for your stay when you checkin or at the end of your stay - up to you ! Allocated superior room on the 2nd floor which overlooked the road and the station - don't be alarmed - it's very , very quiet, you hear nothing at night /day from the traffic & street outside - great soundproofing. The room was fine, the bed was clean and very comfortable., great to sleep in. There was a kettle for tea/coffee and 1 bottle of water ( not replaced) It was a decent sized room and stylish I suppose. Wifi was free and worked pretty well on my devices. The bathroom looked okay but on inspection it was tired and moldy in places, the counter top was old and worn looking and in need of replacement, the bath plughole ( you don't want to know) Also around the taps , it was not that clean. It was just about acceptable , you would not put up with it in a high end hotel. Breakfast was included and served to you - there was no help yourself to the buffet and it was cleared away at 10.00 each morning so don't oversleep. Choice of cooked items and pastries was fine but not as good as when I stayed here 2 years ago . All of the staff were very good, helpful and spoke English & other languages too. leaving the luggage want not an issue. Again , it's an excellent base to explore the area using the local trains to Livorno or Pistoria or indeed Florence once you have seen the Tower. PS the walk to the airport is only 20 minutes if you want to avoid the 5 EUR Pisamover charge, it's really not that far away or use the local bus service.
