Grand Hotel Duomo

The location of this hotel is excellent for the sights and more than we could have wished for in a short stay so everything was easily accessible . It is a 20 minute walk from the train station. Our room had a balcony , it was front facing , it was was spatious and we had a view of the leaning tower from the balcony . Hotel is 5 minutes walk from the historical sight and surrounded by excellent restaurants and a mini mart . What the hotel lacks in modern decor and facilities it makes up for in location, genuinely friendly helpful front desk staff . Breakfast was included and the buffet was plentiful with fresh food , the value for money is excellent . Lorenzo at the front desk was really helpful recommending eateries and sights to see and took time to mark maps, engage us in conversation on sights to see, excellent hospitality and very welcoming .

Location From train station to hotel and walking distance to leaning tower. Breakfast is amazing. Customer service is great. My third time staying here. Highly recommend. Price: Check their price on a daily basis until you get the price you are looking for . Also, always ask for a window balcony. I was in luck they changed my room upon check-in. Got the best view, and streets get quiet around 10 pm.

We loved this hotel! It is in an excellent location and view was incredible! A relatively busy part of Pisa but not too loud. The room was lovely, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Good air conditioning too! We particularly loved the rooftop bar, which had stunning views, lovely staff and delicious, reasonably priced drinks. When we arrived, we were a few hours early for check in. We were hoping to leave our luggage but the staff were very friendly and allowed us to access the room early. They were also very helpful when checking out, with a quick and easy system at the 24 hour reception

Location is excellent, being on a largely pedestrianised street just a few minutes from the main tourist attraction, the leaning tower. This is a large hotel, and probably mainly a business destination (we were there at the weekend), but it has a very friendly and relaxed feel in spite of its size. The room was not very large, but large enough, and elegantly furnished with traditional furniture. The shower-room was most attractive with warm pink/pale apricot marble (or marble patterned tiling) throughout. Service and cleanliness are excellent. I had a stomach upset one night after eating some dubious fish stew in a nearby restaurant, and to my embarrassment got some mess on my sheet, but both sheets were changed immediately without comment. Top marks for excellent service. Breakfast was very good. The city of Pisa is an attractive historic destination, and there is plenty to see in the "Field of Miracles" of very ancient buildings (not just the tower, which I did not go up due to poor mobility). The Camposanto (cemetery) has amazing frescoes, once rated as one of the finest art works in Italy, but badly damaged by bombing in 1944. Some have been wholly or partly restored, and let us hope that all might be restored in future. The preliminary drawings (sinopie) survived and are well worth seeing. An excellent weekend destination and a good place for recovering from intensive art exhaustion between Rome and Florence.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking can be a bit difficult because the front of the hotel empties right out to a pedestrian area in the middle of everything. The desk person drew a fabulous map of directions through winding streets to the back of the hotel for garage parking. The attendant met us and help guide our car into the small space. It was great to have a secure space for the night. Breakfast was amazing, large selection, and delicious . Check out wss simple. Would recommend!
