  • We have already shared our disappointment with the hostel in terms of cleanliness. I realize that they were having some troubles at the time with the shower leaking onto the bathroom floor and therefore, it was all the more important that each guest cleaned up carefully after themselves after showering, but I didn't appreciate the fact that almost every time I used the washroom, including the middle of the night, I had to mop the floor. Also, the duvet cover we were using had not been washed.

  • Globaly not too bad but there wasn't hot water during our stay... Very near to Pisa center and at a quarter to Pisa tower. The room wasn't very clean and not very well sound proofed...

  • A perfectly located hostel with nice an clean rooms. The best and cleanest bathroom I have ever experienced at a hostel. A special thanks to the very friendly staff buying me coffe in the morning and all! :)

  • We had a very nice stay and the staff was, after getting to know them better, really friendly and willing to help. Thank you! Only remark: we were expecting a kitchen (as was indicated on your website) with at least a stove. Discovering there was only a microwave to heat food, we were disappointed and felt not truly informed.

  • Great room! This hostel is located just above all the shops in the pedestrian shopping district (You cannot drive on the street.) There's controlled entry. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We stayed with 4 kids in a family room with one queen/full sized bed and 2 sets of bunk beds. There were lockers in the room also which we didn't really need, but nice to have. The bathroom was clean and the water was hot (yay!). It's about a 15 min walk to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. :)

  • There was no way to really cook outside of using the microwave, but the beds are comfy and the showers are hot. The location is excellent, very close to everything. I enjoyed our stay here.

  • The location of this hostel was perfect - on the main road into the heart of the city from the station, on the main pedestrianised shopping street. All in a all a good hostel, just let down by the staff - the guy on duty both days was pretty disinterested (out of it?) and provided no information on the hostel itself, let alone the surrounding area.

  • We just finished a 3 week vacation in Europe. This was the absolute best place we stayed in. Super reasonable cost wise. They have a kitchen you can use and not only do they have lockers in the rooms, they are also willing to store your luggage until 16:00 while you vacation the town. The dorms were super clean and really comfortable. There is plenty of room and there is a big common area. The best part was the employees though. The main guy and all the people are super cool there!!!

  • Great Location. two days is WAY to long for Pisa so we spent more time at the hostel than we thought. We had a private room away from the actual hostel (which was great as the hostel is up four flights of stairs, and the private rooms have a lift). Kitchen doesn't have a stove so cooking cant be done. That sucked, but we were able to do laundry. Pretty cool ittle place. Would defintely get the private rooms over the dorms there. Great staff.

  • Quality hostel situated right on the high street, very easy to find from the train station too. Scottish guy who runs it is a hero too, very helpful and when he reccommends to go to a certain pizza place, do it 1 metre pizza and 80 cent beers from the nearby supermarket, quality beans mush.

  • Cleaninness in the bathrooms could be better. The bathrooms didn´t have a good exaustion of air, so they were always muggy. But the other thingas were ok.
