Hotel Leonardo - Pisa

9.4

The "Leonardo" is situated in a very good quarter to stay. The coffee was terrible but apart from that the breakfast is completely ok. The breakfast staff could be more alert.

7.0

The bedroom was clean if unremarkable, the bathroom spotless but small and rather cramped. The hotel itself is located in a narrow, cobbled back-street, but is roughly halfway between the Campo dei Miracoli (Tower, Duomo etc.) and the river, with all the main sights within reasonable walking distance. Pisa centre is also compact enough that both the airport and main railway stations are within 1-2km from this hotel.

1.5

sporco, rumoroso, buio

5.6

The carpets in the third floor corridors looked dirty. We were troubled by mosquitos. We noticed that other hotels have fine mesh on the widows to keep them out.

4.3

I stayed just one night with my mother of 70 years old. It was very uncomfortable because the there was problems with water in the bathroom and the room was full of water. The room was dark and sad. My bed light was out of order. The fridge was almost in the middle of the room!. Breakfast was ok but the daning room was so full of people that we had to wait to get a table and when got a table there were no more cups. I have travelled many times in Europe choosing my hotel through Venere, but this was certainly the worst accomodation. However, the position in Pisa was excellent.

5.1

Habitación limpia, sin lujos, correcta para pasar una noche en la ciudad.

6.9

Wifi is not free of charge.

6.2

This was a pleasant hotel with nice welcoming people, the breakfast was fine the bedroom quite small and there was no bar as described on the information, the Hotel is close to the Tower, we wish we had stayed in 2 to 3 different areas i.e. Rome or Florence as well as Pisa as once you have seen the Tower area there isn't much more to see - also beware of people bearing gifts i.e. turtles and elephants they are basically trying to sell you a swahili necklace and can become quite agressive if you dont accept their offers. A good restaurant to go to is in the side street near to the Tower

5.4

Very central hotel, but rather off-putting in regard to the location down a fairly dark side-street which could be a bit intimidating especially due to the rough surface. However the hotel is quite close to the maion shoppping street and only about 10 minutes walk one way to the River Arno and the same the other way to the Leaning Tower, Duomo and Baptistry. Fine for the one night we spent there, but not really for a longer stay.

3.8

I stayed at the Leonardo in a single room just for 1 night. It was the smallest room I ever saw, I could ear my neighbours snore, and my window was facing a wall. On the other hand, it's clean, the area was very beautifull and walking distance to all the interesting place. The lady at the lobby was very nice but I was happy that it was only a 1 night stay! I payed 85€ for it and the breakfast was not what i expected even if it is impossible to be hungry after leaving the table. I would recommand this hotel only for one night and for the location.

9.4

Staff were very welcomming and polite; also very helpful. Rooms were clean and tidy and facilities were good. Location was excellent and value for money terrific.

8.6

Albergo soddisfacente, pulito e collogato egregiamente. Ci si può tornare.

8.9

A wonderful hotel, in a quiet very typical backstreet, with very nice views over the rooftops. Idiosyncratic mural paintings that added to the hotel's charm. Very convenient for the bus to the airport.

3.6

A disappointing stay. I was greeted by gruff staff and the cleaning staff stood in the doorway smoking. When I got in the lift, there was an indeterminate liquid pooled on the floor which I had to be careful to avoid putting my luggage in. The room was dingy and had clearly been decorated in the 1970s and not been thought of since. The TV was very old and did not work properly and there was a film of dust over most of the furniture. Outside the room was quiet as the hotel is situated on a backstreet but noise from other rooms was clearly audiable. The stay would have been adequate if it had not been for the poor staff who were unhelpful, rude and incompetent. I was also charged more than the price quoted and confirmed by this website but I had not realised until I left the hotel. I would not stay here again.

8.2

Hotel Leonardo is small, not particularly attractive, but properly maintained, and the location was perfect. The rooms were clean, quiet, w/AC, but small (as most European rooms are). From the hotel we walked everywhere. Note to other travellers: as you can't drive inside the historic part of the city, just take the bus from the airport & walk to the hotel (5 min walk from the river).

7.9

Buena recepcion, dificil de encontrar pero señalizado. Tienen zona de parking pero muy pequeña. La habitación normal con baño. El desayuno escaso. La relacion calidad/precio es barato. Está muy bien ubicado a 5' de la torre de pisa. ------------------- Good reception, difficult to find but signalized. They have very small zone of parking. Normal room with bath. Little breakfast. The relation price/quality is cheap. It is very well located, only 5' to the tower.

8.7

Taxis can't go down the road, at least at the moment, which would cause problems to anyone with mobility issues, etc. Fabulous location. Nice places to eat just round the corner. You can walk to all the main sights and nearby are local traditional street vegetable markets, as you go towards the river.

1.5

This was by far the worst hotel we stayed in on our Tuscany break it is located in the student quarter in a narrow smelly alley and the room whilst clean was poorly equiped very cramped and dismal. The TV was mounted 10 feet above floor level and there was no way of relaxing in the room apart from laying on the bed. This was made worse by the fact that there were no public areas where you could chill out. The toilet like the room was clean with decent towels and the hot tap deliver hot water but the shower was very erratic and water constantly dripped into the WC The Breakfast selection is quite good but the room is very small and crowded making the "meal experience" very poor The hotel is close to the Tower and other attractions so if like us you just need to stay one night its probably ok but if you intend staying longer be very wary.

9.4

Easy walking distance to everything, Attractions, Shops, Restaurants & Train Station. £6 taxi from Pisa Airport. Very welcoming staff/owners, and would fully recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Pisa.

7.1

On arrival the hotel is situated down a very narrow side street near to the university do not let this put you off. Once inside the hotel staff were very friendly and obliging. The hotel reception very good, the bedrooms are clean and comfortable.the position of the hotel is excellent for viewing the sites on foot and very close to main shopping area.Would stay there again

7.6

The hotel was very clean and nice, location was situated very central with several nice restuarants and close to the attractions.

8.2

Nice room. Quiet location. Close to everything including airport. Busses had stopped running when we arrived, which was before midnight, but there were plenty taxis.

2.5

This was the first and last time to stay at this hotel. I would not recommend it. The room was dirty and dingy. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and my husband got bitten by mosquitoes. This hotel will definitely be off my list for the future.

6.3

Room on website had beamed ceiling with Italian character. Our room was very 1970's and small, but adequate. Staff were very helpful.

9.7

The concierge was quite informative and suggested a wonderful restaurant nearby where we had our best meal while in Italy. The hotel is very convenient to the sights in Pisa. The breakfast was substantial. There is a lift at least up to the third floor. For the price, you cannot beat the Hotel Leonardo.

8.1

Rooms were reasonably clean but sparsely furnished. Hotel was 'old fashioned' but with character - murals and mirrors everywhere. Breakfast adequate - normal continental buffet. Quite a distance from the railway station, although well signed when you get to the river - a taxi will cost around 7 euros. Close proximity to all tourist sights. Staff very helpful - especially one young lady who's name we failed to take (very pretty, blond hair, good english) who sorted out our flights (we were there during the August terrorist crisis) and arranged a taxi for us to the airport. She also recommended an excellent restaurant(alle bandierine) and telephoned to ensure it was open - a little tip, don't go to Pisain during August, many of the shops and restaurants are closed for their holidays!!!

8.6

Especially we were impressed by the service received from the reception desk, welcoming and helpful. Parking in the street outside and beside was OK. 10 minutes slow walk to the tower.

8.0

Really good location: close enough to the Tower for a pleasant walk through charming streets and piazzas but far enough away to miss the hoards of visitors. Area is quiet but there's plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants. Very friendly, helpful and competent staff. Seems a lot of money to pay for the level of accommodation but price was consistent with the area.

9.3

Enjoyed my stay at the Leonardo. The staff was very helpful regarding train schedules, restaraunts, etc. The only issue was a flying insect that bit my face about 6 times in the night. Didn't take away from the trip though. Would stay there again. Thanks!

8.6

A basic hotel but very clean, adequate breakfast and ideally situated for sightseeing. All staff were pleasant and helpful. If you are looking for a simple hotel this is it.

7.9

The hotel was in a very convenient location and was clean and well equipped. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly go back for a stay in the future.

9.7

very central, very nice people

4.9

Room 40 which we were allocated was on the top floor. It was very small and the shower room was equally small. No clear indication of fire escape routes and no obvious escape route except by main staircase (The room did have a fire door) No window in the room other than a small skylight window approx 50cm square This was not accessible and did not open in anycase so even this would not have provided an escape route in the event of a fire. Perhaps other rooms are better but avoid anything on the fourth floor

8.6

Excellent location - very convenient for the Leaning Tower, restaurants & shops. Close to all amenities but without street noise or sleep disturbance! Extremely friendly, helpful & competent staff - we would have no hesitation in staying here again.

8.2

Even though this hotel sits on a nice "quiet" back street, it must have been one of the noisiest streetsin Pisa. Maybe it was just bad luck though. Otherwise it was an excellent hotel, and had one of the larger rooms I've experienced in Europe.

5.0

was looking forward to staying there but the hotel overbooked! However they did arrange other accomodation at the same price

5.6

Long on "charm" but short on space.

8.0

A very nice hotel in a central location. The staff were helpfull and polite and although our stay was for just two nights I would have no hestition in staying there again.

7.5

Nicely decorated friendly hotel with helpful staff in easy walking distance of tourist attractions.

6.7

The location of the hotel is very convenient and the staff was very helpful. A little bit noisy but it was a pleasant stay nonetheless

7.8

Pleasant hotel in a good location convenient for shops and the Campo dei Miracoli

9.2

Excellent small hotel. Good location to visit the Tower. Good advice from the staff some of whom spoke English. The room we had was very pleasant and had a good view over the roof tops. We would use the hotel again if we could get this third floor front room.

5.7

Hotel itself was pleasant, but the A/C didn't work, and the street noise was really excessive compared to many other urban European hotels I have visited.

7.7

The Hotel Leonardo is situated in a bcak street and gives one concern for the facilities. However inside the hotel is comfortable with a welcoming staff. One is within walking distance of all the sites. Parking can be a problem but we were lucky and got one of the two spaces in front of Hotel. The hotel represents good value even though we rated breakfast as average.

7.8

The Leonardo is a basic hotel, in a great position to see the sights of Pisa, only 5 minutes walk from the tower and Duomo. It is set in an ancient street, and has three parking spaces right outside. The rooms are clean and funtional, ours looked liked it needed a lick of paint but was fine. We did have great difficulty finding it despite having a map, and gave up in the end and parked in a nearby square and walked, however once we were there the lady on reception was very helpful and gave us very clear instructions on how to park, she even went out in a thunder storm with an umberella so my husband did'nt get wet! We would definitely use this very central hotel again if we were staying in Pisa.

3.9

The room we got was on the top floor. Positive aspects were the good closing and isolating door of the room and the breakfast. Negative aspects: You were practically thrown out of the breakfast room when time was up. As regards the room, the bed was not even 2 meters long and the mattress urgently needed to be replaced. Early in the morning you were woken up by the many pigeons on the roofs, but this was not really the problem. The main problem was that the room was full of spider nets, quite dusty, the carpet floor not even vacuum cleaned and the bathroom floor not properly cleaned. Not really worth the price, but still never as horrible as the Hotel Villa Ombrosa on the Elba Island!

8.4

Stanze curate (a parte i copriletti)e colazione abbondante, posizione ottima.

7.8

The hotel is a good value budget hotel. Very well located in the heart of historic Pisa. Good breakfast too. My wife especially enjoyed her time at The Leonardo! Thanks Marco!

10

for 84 euros a night on new years day, i was given the best room on the top floor with steps leading up to it. it was like no other, no other room can compare with it, furniture laid out in perfect fashion to give the room a very spacious feeling. the temperature controlled room was perfect, bathroom and shower were splendid. comfortable bed and lighting

9.7

Nice accomodations for the price. Did not get a room with a view of the Leaning Tower as requested. We only viewed the back of another building but that really was not a major detriment. Was it really Galileo's Lab????

8.1

A good, mid-price, city centre base - quiet, clean and friendly.

8.6

We thoroughly enjoyed the five nights at Leonardo, and would go there again.

2.7

One of the WORST and UGLIEST places I've ever been to. We paid 115€ for a double room that did not deserve more than 20. Please, keep looking for hotels in Pisa, you may be luckier than I. Good luck

2.6

This place was DISGUSTING - the first room they put me in was next to the front door - at first I thought it was a joke. It was literally right next to the front door. I asked for a different room and the woman seemed annoyed so she moved me to another room which seemed fine, I was in a rush to see the leaning tower and didn't have time to really inspect. When I returned I discovered that the stench of smoke was almost unbearable. On top of this the motor of the elevator is located in the room somewhere so I was up all night listening to the elevator run. To top this all off the breakfast was inedible. It's hard to believe that bad coffee could exist in Italy but it did here - perhaps it was instant? The cereal was stale, the juice was warm, the meat and cheese were dried on the edges, in general it was grotesque. When I complained at check out they knocked 20€ off the price but it was still expensive. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

8.6

As soon as you arrive, you are made to feel welcome. Staff were very helpful and supplied maps and details of the local area. The room was clean, but basic. Unfortunately, we missed the breakfast due to an early flight home!

6.5

Very friendly, excellent breakfasts all in all a nice 3 star hotel - ~Just what I expected.

7.5

Leonardo is a nice small hotel in a quiet street. It has kept its Italian charme and it's very clean and safe (especially the room doors!). The main attraction, the tower of pisa, is in walking distance, about 5 to 10 minutes. The staff was very friendly and flexible. The price is, compared to other cities, quite expensive, but in Pisa hotels generally seem to be more expensive than in many other places. It's worth a stay!

10

Altogether a very good place to stay, in an atmospheric part of old Pisa. Quality for price excellent.

9.8

A very well located hotel in beautiful surrounding, steeped in history. Fantastic.

9.4

very pleasant stay heartily recommend little wine bar/restaurant just around the corner open until early hours serving food and wine cheaply and very friendly!

6.5

Ht.Leonardo is a small hotel in Pisa, renovated, clean, but the showers must be revisioned. The environment is somewhat noisy, at night and in the early morning, when on the first floor. Staff is very efficient and friendly.

5.5

Freundliches Personal, Service und Frühstück okay. Trotz der Lage in einer Nebenstrasse sehr hoher Lärmpegel von außen, da keine isolierten Fenster. Das Zimmer sehr düster, da die Farbe an den Wänden wohl schn einige Jahre auf dem Rücken hat. Das Bad nachlässig gereinigt. Der Preis von 110,- Euro für ein Doppelzimmer ist meiner Meinung nach nicht angebracht.

9.5

Central location just a short walk from the tower, river and shopping area, great as a base to explore.

6.0

A modern recently refurbished hotel but lacking the character of many of the cheaper pensione's, also the breakfast was somewhat uninspiring with the coffee being very watered down. The room was OK with a nice bathroom but not very spacious.

3.4

This is more like a struggling 2 star hotel than a 3 star. The ugly brown formica in the room, tatty and tired reception area, unattractive location, odd industrial feel to the building and the uncomfortable itchy feeling in the bed which resulted in itchy bites combined to form a decidedly uncomfortable stay in an extremely average hotel. Having paid 20 euros more the previous night to stay in a gorgeous hotel in San Gimignano it felt extremely expensive too. Oh, the breakfast was revolting. I wouldn't recommend it.

8.1

Nice hotel. Did not get a view of Leaning Tower as suggested on pictures and website but then did not specifically request it. Friendly staff with good English. Convenient location

3.3

expensive!!! i had a room the size of a flea. the bathroom was built clearly in the attic, as the ceiling vaulted near the height of my neck.

7.5

This hotel was very handy for a one-night stay-close to airport, Tower and main shops. Room was clean and basic- view from window superb. Breakfast is very basic. Reception staff are very helpful.

5.1

Room very small; equipped with 4 beds for 2. Mosquitos !!! No German SAT program such as RTL. Breakfast again poor - as usual in Italy. Friendly service and cheap snacks in close surroundings.

8.5

Excellent location and well run hotel. Full marks !!

4.6

On the ground floor, where our room was, the view turned out to look onto a heap of debris in an internal courtyard. No natural light came into the room, which was, as a result, extremely dark. The room was noisy in the morning due to neighbouring breakfast room. Announced discount possibilities with neighbouring restaurants were not even mentioned upon arrival. Request to move rooms could not be accommodated.

9.5

A good hotel at a reasonable price. Good location within 5 minutes of most of the areas of interest in the City. Some excellent and very cheap restaurants nearby.

5.3

Our stay at the hotel was ok.The picture on the internet showing directly outside the window the tower of Pise was incorrect,and misleading ! The tower is not far but not as close as the picture intends to show.The breakfast wasn't terrible ! The orange juice was completely artifitial! I think what customers prefer is at least pure orange juice in the morning . For the price of the hotel this should be possible !

7.8

Hotel was very difficult to find. But it was an interesting walk from the train station. Breakfast was average in room without much ambiance.

8.7

When I arrived the receptionist came out to help me park my car. He was enthusiastic and helpful. The service was excellent. The prices matched. The room left something to be desired where space was concerned. However, it was clean and comfortable.

5.7

There was no real breakfast on offer, which was disappointing. For Euro 100 a night I would have thought I would get some fruit or bread. Also, there was no hot water in the shower, which did not matter in summer, but may have been a problem in winter

5.4

Expensive for what they offer. We didn't have a real window in our room (just a small dormer and a poor shutter very hard to open and close ... not very convenient...) so light were missing. They also made us pay 4 euros for a bottle of water (not even cold)!!!! Stay in this hotel for 1 night is OK but not more. There are only 2 pictures on their website and they are both "wrong". No room have a view on the tower and you absolutly can't see the tower from the hotel. Very bad.

8.8

A characteristic hotel right in the middle of historic Pisa. Very recommendable.

9.3

Good central location

6.0

In the room we had, the only window was at least 10 feet from the floor. You could not reach it even if you stood on the bed. Maybe some of the rooms had a tower view that was advertised, but definately not the one we stayed in. We were also led to believe there would be a refrigerator in the room. There was not. They advertised the hotel as being in a quiet area. We figured that was due to people were probably afraid to walk up that dark, narrow alley it was located in. However the room was clean and the employees were curteous, but for the price, I would not want to stay there again.
