Royal Victoria Hotel

After reading reviews for this glorious 1000 year old hotel, I was so excited to visit. There was talk of walls having cracks, people moving in and out of doors labeled "do not enter", and dimly lit hallways. When I got to the hotel I got exactly what I was expecting a wonderfully maintained 1000 year old hotel. The staff were the most friendly Italian hotel staff I have ever encountered and I loved getting to stay in such a historic structure. Parts of this hotel are 1000 years old, it will not look like American hotels. It is 1000 years old. And it is wonderful to get to see that character in the building. (And yes as a former hotel employee, there are some doors employees use that they mark as "do not enter" for the general public). This hotel made us wish we allocated more time for Pisa on our trip. I highly recommend.

Charming place, but : Windows very Old, single glazing, no Insulation from the Street noise till Early in the morning. Came back after midnight. Door was closed, it took about 15.min of calling before somebody showed up for letting US in.

Hotel was in a good location but is very old fashioned and rooms are a bit shabby. Breakfast is adequate. Hotel OK for a 1 night stay.

Hotel has not used their potential. Great location, great potential for rooms, but their lack of maintenance and cleanliness affects the experience. Very dusty in the rooms. The experience was good though, as it offers a more local feel and great art around the hotel. Bring slippers! The floors are very cold. The shower was also cold. Breakfast was just the essentials.

Basic but clean hotel room. Very friendly staff. Perfect for a couple nights in Pisa as it is close to main tourist area. It is noisy though due to this but the noise does stop in the night.
