Top hotels in Pisa City Centre
Hotel Bologna
I stayed here 38 years ago, and this was a nostalgia stop over. Breakfast was good, but restaurant menu limited. It didn't seem to have changed much. Room was good, but not memorable.

Prato dei Miracoli Residenza d'Epoca
Great location and the room was great for what we needed, especially if you want coffee before the cafe/bakery open. Staff was perfect (Sara). Would stay here again.

Grand Hotel Duomo
We were at the front of the hotel - it is very close to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Duomo. Couldn’t be in a better place. Roberto the barman was great fun and good cocktails.

Hotel Pisa Tower
We stayed in a family of 5 room. The room was fine everyone had beds but there was not enough hot water for the 5 of us to take a shower all in one night. So plan accordingly with that. It was a 5 min walk from our building to the tower.
