Room was clean and comfortable although bathroom was narrow and awkward and had no proper door. My heart sank when I saw there were no lifts. A definite no no if travelling with a toddler, suitcases, bags and push-chair. Reception staff not friendly. In fact, the one who checked us in was positively rude and kept us waiting while he...

At first check in, we thought "oh no, why did we pick this hotel". There is no elevator, so be prepared to walk up stairs or request something on a lower floor. We stayed 4 nights, and to be honest, it ended up being an nice place to stay (I would stay there again). It was within walking distance to... More

The rooms were small but clean, the receptionists were friendly, the breakfast was good, the price was reasonable. The leaning tower and shops aren't far away and the train station is 5 minutes walk. Totally okay to stay here as a base for sightseeing. More

We spent a very pleasant night at the Minerva Hotel we had a nice room on the first floor; the shower was a little strange you stepped up to it but worked fine. The manager gave us directions to a few good restaurants and was really helpful. Breakfast was basic but one of the best cups of coffee I've had. More

We found this hotel by chance when forced to stay in Pisa after Ryanair cancelled our flight home due to bad weather. The day receptionists Simone and the lady referred to in other reviews were excellent but John the night receptionist was surly to the point of rudeness. We arranged to leave early in the morning for our re-arranged flight.... More

Just back from our stay in Tuscany & our first night was in the Hotel Minerva in Pisa. Having read some of the previous reviews just before we went we were a bit worried about this accomodation but our experience was perfectly satisfactory. The staff were welcoming & pleasant & our room (on the 2nd floor) was very clean &... More

I was really disapointed when I spent a night at Hotel Minerva. This was our last night in Italy. On the website I had booked the hotel thru, the pictures displayed a really nice garden. When we got there, it was just soil everywhere, with almost no grass... Regarding the room, the beds were really comfortable. Nevertheless, the bathroom was... More

Ridicules to pay so much money (115 Euros) for a sleepless night. We could hear our neighbour snoring the whole night. Bathroom didn’t have a proper door. No lift. Night and morning staff was super unfriendly. (Only exception the middle aged lady in the afternoon who gave us some great tips). Breakfast was a joke. Didn’t have such bad food... More

We went to Pisa with no hotel reservation, which in the first place makes me nervous since I like to check Tripadvisor before booking any hotel! As soon as we got to the train station in Pisa, we started walking around, pulling luggage behind us. We wandered to Hotel Minerva and took a chance. The lady receptionist was very nice... More

We booked 2 nights totally on the basis of the tripadvisor reviews. The location was ok and, true the hotel was clean but, oh dear how dreary, from the civil but dreary receptionist to the serviceable but dreary (and small quad) room, to the dreary breakfast room with dreary tinned fruit salad (in Italy!!). Their recommendation of the Galileo restaurant... More
