My friends and I needed a hotel for one night in Pisa, so we can see the tower and then head on to Cinque Terre. This hotel fit the bill. Their shuttle service, that serves a few other hotels in the area, picked us up after our late night flight and brought us right to the door. We were met... More

Stayed for a couple of nights this past weekend. Lovely budget hotel in fantastic location. Just a stones throw away from the tower. Would definitely recommend staying in this hotel. Owners very accomodating and we were able to leave our luggage safely with them after checking out before collecting later.

We arrived late at night (after midnight) and the owners waited up for us and were friendly and helpful. The room is small but neat and clean which is all we need for 1 night. Great location, close to the tower with a bus stop a block away to get to the train in the morning. More than we were... More

Set just moments from the tower makes this hotel such a great location. The hotel is 2 star and I will review it as such. I found the shower to be clean, powerful and hot. The bed was comfortable and the staff were very informative and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if travelling to Pisa.

It is a very small hotel, we stayed in July. A bit old fashioned, with still room keys, small hotel. No view, we spend one night and therefore good enough for the purpose. Close to the attractions and the bus stop to go to the station. Small room, very simple, clean. Recommended if you are staying for a short vacation... More

This best thing about this hotel is the location and price. We stayed one night, getting in pretty early, but the room was ready for us right away. The staff was great, even the 2 kitties were fun to have around for our daughter. The room was large enough for the 3 of us. The bathroom could use some updating.... More

We are just checking out of this hotel and we enjoyed our stay very much. The staff was very accommodating. We called 4 hours before we arrived to schedule a shuttle from the airport, and they we more than willing to send one. Our luggage was lost at the airport, so by the time we got out to meet our...

The Helvetia is in a great location if you're there to see the leaning tower, minutes away from the site which is nice. Other than that there was just nothing great about this place unfortunately, check in and out were fine and the staff nice enough. The room itself was ok and clean. We were on the second floor and...

Unassuming but very pleasant & welcoming; nice room & lovely bathroom; owners couldn't have been more helpful - and all this in a quiet little street a few minutes walk from the Piazza dei Miracoli: ideal to make the most of our brief stay. Price very reasonable - we weren't expecting such a nice place. Would definitely recommend & use... More

Was told not to expect much from Pisa, just to expect it as a nice place to stop between travel, what with it being a small city. However, despite it being incredibly busy with tourists, you can still get a great feel of the city and its architecture. Helvetia is lovely, the owners are really friendly and helpful, giving advice... More
