Hotel Astor - Pisa

9.2

The only negative was the simple breakfast, but otherwise we were highly satisfied.

8.6

our flight arrived near midnight, so we rang the hotel ahead of time to let them know. There was no problem getting in to the hotel then.

7.4

It' s a good place to stay for few night. Easy and simple but with all you need. The only problem is the presence of the bell for every room in the hallway, some time children want make on the light... and ring your bell!

7.9

It seemed as though the gentleman who checked us in didn't want to be bothered with making a morning taxi reservation (for 5AM!) for us as we had to leave the next day; however, another gentleman gave us lots of local knowledge about where to go for dinner and shopping. The young lady who was at the desk next took care of us very well and made sure the taxi reservation had been made. The rooms were clean and quiet. My friends' room air conditioning worked, but mine did not. The reception area included a comfortable seating area with coffee/liquor bar that was open 24/7. That was a welcome amenity as it was hot when we arrived and we enjoyed cool beverages.

3.4

I guess this is what 2 star hotel feels like. Hotel desk staff not helpful. AC was just blowing outside air. We were told that, the AC was working at capacity !!! Area is not the safest at night time. Overall; stay away.

0.3

Despite the room was booked, they did not make the reservation... so they send us in an other hostel, close to the Astor. But, despite the hostel got one star more, the room was not really clean, almost dark, without wifi, and small...

6.9

It's a short walk from the station, rooms are clean and have everything you need. The shared bathroom is clean too.

4.1

Most expensive place we stayed in Italy in comparison with similar hotels re classification.At least E20-25 more per night for a room compared with Florence,Rome & other cities. Location was not far from train station but a little tricky to find. We would not choose it again mainly because of over pricing for hotel standard.

7.7

It wasn't a fancy hotel, but the staff was flexible and helpful. The quadruple room was roomy enough and quiet for tired travelers. The location is fairly close to the train station with access to buses and the airport. The main commercial street was 4 blocks away. The famed pisa tower was about 12 blocks away. It was easy to catch a bus and explore the marina di pisa, 30 minutes away, which has a really nice family beach and where we experienced our best seafood italian meal.

6.5

Parking 10€ à 26€ les 24h a prévoir.

6.7

This is an ideal location to visit Pisa. It is a 5 mintue walk to the train station where we took the train to Florence. It is a 15 minute walk to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Baptistery & Cathedral. The rooms are small but don't need a lot of space as only went back there to sleep. We paid 100Euros for a quadruple room which was well worth the money.

6.7

un petit hotel sympa, le petit déjeuner n'est pas très intéressant rapport qualité prix, mais la salle de bains est propre et la chambre est bien... l'hotel est bruyant, soyez attentif à la chambre qui vous est donnée.

8.7

A very comfortable room and surprisingly spacious for the 4 of us. This was only a one night stay as we were catching an early morning flight but the location,price and welcome were all excellent.

8.1

The hotel is very clean,and person at the reception extremely helpful, speaking a bit of french and english.Unfortunately there is free parking around but the landlonrd know a free parking which is not that far :-). Bathroom very clean, although it can be a pain to go out of the rooom to go to the bathroom.Make sure you have some flip flopes with you:-).The room can be a little noisy ...or at least our was and could hear the water running from the room next to us.Good location, within 5 minutes walk you are in the town centre of pisa.

7.0

The room seemed fine in the first place, but several details ruined it: serious problem with the water heater, the pressure goes lower on hot water every 20 seconds... And the tap in the bathroom was broken. Broken light bulb on the bed side too. Worst was the bed, it was not a big bed, but 2 single beds next to eachother, my bf or i fell in the gap during the whole night, making one of the beds slide on the floor. The Wifi was not working, no network detected in the whole neighborhood. My 4% reduction granted with a VENERE.com code was not applied to the bill, I had to pay the whole price.

9.6

a great price/benefit ratio for a quick tour in pisa. close to train station and downtown area and a nice walk away from the historical must-see spots. good vibes and great restaurant suggestion by the night clerk!

7.0

First of all, no problem to be a gay couple there! i choose this hotel because it looked like modern, and it was the case. I couldn't imagine how it would have been in the other low prices hotels of pisa found on venere, they looked so old fashion. Then, the room is very very small, the matrimonial bed is 2 single beds together, the room with bathroom cost me 50€ on friday night, 70€ on saturday night, and i think it was 50 for the rest of the week also. the street is not very quiet but you can sleep. Some mosquitos. The shower is not perfect since it alterns cold and hot, but it is clean and confortable. The room is clean and the personnel is ok, always changing, reception opens until 1:00am. I haven't tried the breakfast, venere says it cost 5€. Globally i was happy, it is the cheapest hotel i found in pisa, and i was expecting something worst. the wifi internet connection is not working, it would be nice to write it on venere's website. But don't expect too much, the price is the good point, and the quality is correct.

8.9

We got into Pisa early and it was so nice to beable to check right in. The room was ready for us and we could drop off our bags and get right to site seeing!

2.9

This hotel was made for minimalists. Very small and plain. Not much to offer.

6.6

Pisa is wonderful and this hotel is an economical choice near (20 min by footh)Piazza dei Miracoli(wonderful) and the hystorical centre (close). Thcuss

8.3

Hôtel calme et agréable, bien situé. Chambre propre et spacieuse. Bon rapport qualité /prix.

7.6

Room was small but clean and the hot water worked OK (I was worried about that from the other reviews I read!). No WiFi in the rooms despite what the ad said, you had to use their PC in the lobby with everyone looking over your shoulder. There are no elevators/lifts but only one flight of stairs to carry your suitcases up.

8.6

Price/Location/Quality a great combination. 5 min walk from train station, less than 20 from the sights. 2 blocks from the big shopping street. Hot water was interesting -- hot then cold, repeat.

7.5

The hotel is in an excellent location with regard to distance from railway and into the main town for restaurants and the Leaning Tower of Pizza. The owner was very welcoming and showed us to a family room which was his last room and outside the main hotel - an upgrade! Unfortunately the electrics failed which meant that the pump for the water failed and following a cancellation we were then moved back into the main hotel. The owner did everything he could in the circumstances, however we were moved into the main hotel where voices from reception could be heard all the way up the staircase and with tiled floors throughout footsteps were loud and door banging echoed throughout the hotel (even in the early hours of the morning). Very clean hotel, nice owners/staff good for a brief stop over.

9.8

If you are looking for a place to sleep in Pisa- that is more than enough. 1. Fantastic value for money! 2.The Tower (15), station( 5 min) and airport (20 min) in walking distance so you can save on taxis. 3.Rooms and toilets very clean. 4. Internet, optional breakfast, v. small hotel bar, helpfull staff Much more than I expected for such a tiny price. Compared to other budget hotels I stayed in during my spring break in Italy it was absolutly the best. For more demanding customers rooms may be to small and walls to thin... And if you want to have better view, you need to spend far more than that

8.0

Overall, we were happy with our short stay at the Astor. However, the shower did not function properly, it was hot one minute and freezing cold the next. The breakfast was small, but adequate. The coffee was good, and we got more when we asked for it at no extra charge.

6.9

Let's start with the positive. For 60 Euros I had a double room with ensuite bathroom ( breakfast not included) within easy walking distance of Pisa railway station. The man on reception was expecting me, was pleasant, spoke English and asked if I needed someone to carry my bag. The room was spotless and away from the street noise. Now the niggles. The main light wasn't working in the bathroom. The receptionist said they would mend it the next day but I was only staying one night. It was February. No one had thought to put the heating on in the room which was very cold. When I did put it on at the highest setting it was lukewarm. Not enought to heat the room. When I checked out I went to pay with my credit card. The hotel displayed notices stating all the credit cards they took. This was also on my booking e-mail. Yet when I went to pay I was asked for cash. Reluctantly the receptionist took my credit card but complained in Italian to another member of staff about tourists not paying in cash. When I returned to Pisa I chose to stay at another hotel.

6.4

It's nice and clean, but not so good for the price you payed. Looking at the photos you believe is a modern hotel, but the rooms are a bit poor and old fashioned comared to what you expect. However is very clean and you have all the services needed. The surroundings are not specially beautiful, but Pisa is not known as the most beautiful city in Italy. It's half way from the city center and half way to the train station. Not bad,but not fantastic. Fine.

4.6

People smoking constantly just outside the entrance. Smode came in to the building. Very tight ant small rooms. Clean though. Not very friendly. And staff was not very nice.

5.9

no parking and toilettes and shower outside the rooms, in the corridor, in front of the entrance door ! no light in the room, and the staff cannot fix it. Of course the hotel was full, so no change possible. The frontdesk indicated us a restaurant "l'acere".....never eat a pizza there, believe me. except this, the bed is good and the room almost quiet. Staff speaks english and a few french.

8.3

Good value for money and very convenient location between station and the tower. We had a ground floor room with its own bathroom.The a/c only partly worked so rather hot but liveable! No WiFi (broken) but they allowed me to plug my laptop into their router for free. Breakfast a waste of money-- go to a cafe!

7.7

Only stayed 1 night for early flight the next morning but the room was ideal for our needs. Was very handy for train station and airport.

6.7

The location was great (15min walks trough pedestrian streets to the Tower) The only thing is that the price charged through Venere (125 € for a quadruple room) was not the price indicated on the door of the room itself (90€!)

7.5

Excellent, helpful staff. No elevator, but staff offered to take up our heavy luggage to first floor. Room has more facilities than required for 2-star (A/C, TV etc). But towels not changed everyday,despite sign in bathroom giving this option (sign has now been removed). Breakfast - coffee and croissant (juice if you beg for it) - not worth it. Go to a coffee shop nearby.

7.5

Nice room and nice area, apart from the noisy neighbours.

7.9

Ottimo servizio, camere e pulizia. Personale professionale e sempre a disposizione.da consigliare, facile da trovare.

9.1

Hotel Astor is a simple hotel when all you need is a room. I wasn't interested in the sights and it was close to the train station so it was perfect for us. Nice people at the front desk. I absolutely did not mind not having a bathroom in our room. Our own private bath was just down the hall. I have already booked another night's stay when I fly out.

7.6

Very close to central station, is a cheap hotel but is nice to young travellers.

5.8

It seemed too much money for what we got. We had a MUCH better hotel (Bretagna) for 75 Euros for 3 people with bath and includes an extensive buffet breakfast in a great location in Florence. The Astor was adequate, but should have cost much less that 90 Euros for 3 people with bath and no breakfast or 5 euros more for a only a croissant and coffee.

6.7

Heater was a little old and wasn't not working. Common bathroom was clean, but has a musky smell. A budget hotel.

6.9

We were upgraded to a nice triple which was fine. The room was fine except for horrible stenchy smells of cleaning fluid or perhaps vinegar or something. Weird hot/cold showers but I suppose that can-t be helped.

9.7

A very nice hotel in a very nice, small, beautiful city. The hotel is in the center of the city and offers the tourists the possibility to walk around the whole beauties of pisa. A really nice stay, we would definitively return there. Recommended. PS: This hotel offers rooms and services more like a 3 stars than a 2 stars!

4.1

A place to sleep and nothing more to say. The hotel charged extra for a bad breakfast..

6.4

When I made the booking I ordered (if possible) a king bed and they did give it. But what I didn't ask for because I thought it was included is a bathroom inside the room. It wasn't. There was a shared bathroom outside the room. If possible, ask for the room with private bathroom when making reservation.

9.2

We were very happy with this accommodation, could have done with a larger breakfast! other than that, excellent. LT United Kingdom

9.0

Très agréable séjour à Pise dans un hotel très bien tenu et très récemment rénové. Pise est une ville magnifique

7.2

Well-placed hotel for quick visit to see sights of pisa handy for airport

3.8

The room rent was pretty much on the higher side compared to the services offered. Its a pity that Venice had much better rooms at lesser rates while in Pisa we have to do with only this kind of a budget hotel.

7.1

Nice, clean hotel, 10 minute walk to train station, and 15 minute walk to Tower. No breakfast, but do have items for purchase. Shared bathrooms, were very clean, and two per floor.

2.4

Cutre. Una habitación con techos muy altos que no se calentaba nunca. Pasamos frío. Las toallas parecian de la postguerra. La cama que se suponia de matrimonio eran los camitas juntas que se separaban enseguida. Muebles cutres y todo con un punto guarro. No vayais.

2.4

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Who ever said a picture is worth a thousand words, hasn't heard of trick photography. I traveled with my husband and 2 children and we couldn't believe the size of the room. The view out of my window was an alley with garments hanging from a clothes line. My recommendation to all is to make your hotel reservations way in advance so you don't have to settle for Hotel Awful.

7.8

This is a very well run hotel, with modern well appointed rooms. We chose a room without a bathroom and were abit disappointed in the small combined shower/toilet cubicle we had to use down the corridor. The room was quiet, close to the train station and a good price.

9.3

It was my firsts time I stayed in this Hotel, but It was very nice, the satff is gently and the rooms are quiet and comfortable for a corresponding price.

8.2

The hotel was exactly as expected, not grand but perfectly suited for our 2 nt stay. Our ground floor room with W/C & bunk beds worked well for us. It was spotless and had crisp white bed sheets. Easy walking distance to the Leaning Tower and train station. Would definitely recommend the hotel and would stay there again.

6.2

We picked this hotel because it was about 15 min walk away from the tower and therefore in less busy area (we had a car to park) and it claimed to have air conditioning in each room (thought that this would be essential for Aug). Room was very clean but quite small and air conditioning didn't work (in the event that didn't really matter as it rained most of the time we were there). Breakfast choice very limited - dont bother there are a few alternatives nearby. One public room - as per picture. Very handy for train station but more like hostel than hotel.

7.8

The room was rather small, with no en-suite, and no breakfast included. There is a good cafe opposite. It is not too far from the station, and within easy walking distance of the main sites. A convient one night stop.

5.0

The hotel was situated in a handy enough location, about 10 or 15 minutes walk from the leaning tower. The staff seemed pleasant enough however could have been a bit more welcoming. The room was average/poor compared to some other places we stayed within the same price bracket. One word of warning for anyone who books on the internet is that you will often be given the poorer rooms in the hotel because of the lower rate you paid online. I found this slightly unfair and meant the pictures of rooms online never matched what you got. No breakfast included in price but to be honest we were glad to get out of the place and get some fresh air.

4.2

Hotel très joliment restauré, mais la chambre pour 4 est petite, avec des lits superposés, pour un prix élevé par rapport aux autres hôtels de notre voyage (à Gènes, Florence, et la campagne de Florence). De plus, on nous demande 8 euros pour pouvoir laisser la voiture ... dans la rue !

5.5

Hotel location was OK - close to station. Reception staff could not find any record of our booking on arrival and there was general confusion. Booking eventually identified in my firstname not surname! Room was OK - breakfast was not included in tariff which was above average we paid in Italy.

8.7

We found this hotel to be good value for money and in a good location. It is a short walk from the train station and about a 10min walk from the leaning tower. Our room was clean and had all we needed. We had to share a bathroom down the hall. This was fine as we were leaving Pisa on an early flight the next day and it was only needed as a short stop over for one night. If we were staying in Pisa longer we would have requested an en suite room rather than a room with just a sink. The hotel staff were very helpful and on hand 24hrs, even at 4.30am when we needed a taxi booking! The taxi to the airport was very quick. It took about 5mins and cost 8 Euros. The cost, value for money, proximity to the station, central Pisa and the airport made this a great stop over after a long weekend in Florence.

9.0

Easy walking distance to shopping street and nice stroll across river to the catholic theme park where the domo and leaning tower is located. It isnt a huge hotel with spacious room, but is very clean and friendly for the price charged. Recommended.

4.6

Das Hotel befindet sich in zentraler Lage von Pisa. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein, aber man soll sich ja nicht lange dort aufhalten. Zum Glück hatten wir ein Zimmer mit Dusche gebucht, dies ist auch zu empfehlen. Die Sauberkeit läßt zu wünschen übrig. Es war eine Überraschung, als wir die alten Socken vom Vorgänger im Nachtschrank und lange schwarze Haare auf den Bettlagen gefunden haben. Das Hotel befindet sich zwar in ruhiger Lage, aber davon halten die Nachbarn nichts und hielten uns mit ihrem Gebrüll die halbe Nacht wach. Und unter Satelliten Tv verstehe ich auch mehr als nur MTV, ich hätte wenigstens einen deutsch- bzw. englischsprachigen Sender erwartet. FAZIT: Das Hotel hat irgendwie den Charm einer überteuerten Jugendherberge bei der das Frühstück nicht enthalten ist.

6.9

un peu cher pour une chambre sans salle de bain, mais très bon accueil et très bien situé dans pise

6.1

Nice hotel, convenient location for Pisa. Street parking can be a problem if you come by car. Our room was clean, nice bathroom but opposite the toilet/bathroom used by those guests who don't have a bathroom, so noisy and intrusive. No breakfast included and what you get if you pay isn't good value- go to the bar around the corner for better value.

8.4

Nice and cheap rooms without bathroom - ok! Better not ask for breakfast in the hotel - you will be guided to a bakery 50m away (but with excellent tramezzinis)! :-D Really quiet place five minutes to walk from the train station.

6.3

Basic accommodation, clean and convenient for sightseeing. Difficult to find with car due to one way system. Parking not easy. Good instructions from station for those walking. Suggest map and instructions for car drivers.

8.0

Tutto come nella descrizione,pulito confortevole...ideale per una piccola vacanza a Pisa

6.4

dommage que les toilettes et la douche se trouvent dans le couloir. Mais tout est propre. Nous n'avons pas eu de petit déjeuner : seulement un café.

8.0

Nice little Hotel, clean and regular. I would stay there again another time. However, be aware that it closes at midnight - you have to be at the Hotel before that.

8.7

this hotel was excellent value for 2 stars. easy reach of some excellent restaurants. i would stay here again very friendly.

7.5

A 10 minutos andando de la estacion central, 15 minutos de la torre de Pisa.Es un hotel sencillo, habitacion pequeña pero para pasar un par de noches si solo lo quieres para dormir ya es suficiente. No hay ascensor, las habitaciones estan en la primera planta, el trato de la recepcion normal, pero simpaticos. Yo repetiria hotel al mismo precio (65 euros/noche en la habitacion con baño dentro), por mas dinero, intentaria buscar otra alternativa.

4.7

Si paga 65 Euro per una camera doppia senza bagno e senza prima colazione, neanche un caffè. Il listino prezzo all'albergho proprio indica invece 60 Euro (www.hotel-astor.com). Meglio prenotare direttamente allora.

7.2

Externally, first impression may not give rise to optimism, the hotel being a converted "palazzo" which looks as if it has seen better days. However, although basic and without pretensions, the ASTOR delivers cleanliness and civility at an acceptable level of comfort, if at a cost which is slightly inflated, to the guest who want a base in which to spend their nights. During my stay, on the ground floor, I experienced only the occasional noises from the corridor and the room above, but nothing excessive. I would unhesitatingly use the ASTOR on any subsequent visit to PISA.

7.8

Very handy to the railway station, and 15 mins walk from the Leaning Tower. Very clean, spacious and quiet. Good value for money. We had a room with shared bathroom and the bathrooms were in extremely clean condition. No frills with the reception or service, but we had a good stay.

8.8

Very nice, small hotel, few steps from the railway station. Room and bathroom were clean and the staff helpful. The only minus was the breakfast, not included in the price of the room, and consisting of a bun in the plastic bag and a coffee (cost 5€!!!). Much better to eat somewhere nearby, costs less and is much better. But in total positive experience.

9.8

I spent 10 days in Italy and The Hotel Astor was the best price/quality hotel i staid. The room was very clean, quiet, very good location close to the shopping area and restaurants, and its 3 min walking from the train station and, 10 min walking to the Pisa tower. Also, the hotel provides a small map of the city and information about the city. If I come back to Pisa I will stay there for sure.

7.8

bathroom was very small and uncomfortable, but for overnight stay it was ok

7.4

good position, no complicated One kritik: The breakfast was bad.

8.9

Map was a little misleading so it took a little more walking from the train station than if we'd found it right away. Not sure the staff spoke much English but it really didn't seem to matter. Clean and pleasant, perfect for a one night stay.

8.9

Do not take room with bathroom, because common bathroom are reaaly too small. Indeed, It's bathroom and Toilette mixed in the same space.

8.3

A very clean and simple hotel for our short stay in Pisa and well within the major sites such as the Field of Miricles. The only drawback was that the hotel closed its doors at 12.00 midnight which meant a pretty rushed walk back from our restaurant when we would have really liked to stay out longer-this would have caused us problems if we had stayed longer than one night. Italians do not close down at midnight!! Other than that a clean and comfortable hotel and I would stay again for a short stopover.

6.8

In the web the facilities should be characzerized in more detail: shower in the room (Gabbione, Fierence) is correct, but it shoud be mentioend thtat the toilet is on the floor. Addtionally should be mentioend that the haotel is in the 3rd floor!

2.3

The place is noisy and have a very poor services. The shower was not working and the room was not clean. There was no parking and we had a real hard time to find one. I had to wake up early in the morning to move my car to another location. I would not go to the same place again.
