Hotel Bologna

Hotel Bologna is in a fairly quiet neighbourhood on the south bank and a few minutes walk to the Arno river. It is situated at a convenient distance from the main shopping street, supermarkets and Pisa Centrale railway station where you arrive with the PISAMOVER in less than 10 minutes from the airport. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is about 15-20 minutes on foot. The bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the 2nd floor at the back of the hotel is generously sized and the single bed is more than a single bed. A balcony in the bedroom faced a part car park/part garden. There is a mini fridge which has free bottles of water and topped up daily when you take them out for the day. The breakfast buffet is really varied and has a lot of sweet and savoury options. A very healthy highlight is a trolley with sliced/cubed fruits. I found every hotel staff member I met from check-in to check out and each morning and evening to be friendly and polite. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Friendly and welcoming, nice restaurant and bar , great for a relaxing meal without having to go out . We stayed for 2 nights at the beginning of our weeks holiday, and one night at the end. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Shower room on the first visit was great, newly refurbished and able to have a night relaxing shower. Only complaint is- Return visit bathroom wasn’t so good (different room) outdated bath with a shower tap ( like we had in our first home in the 1970s! )No shower curtain and couldn’t get enough water into the bath. If we’d had this bathroom in the first night we probably wouldn’t have returned.

Breakfast was served in a downstairs room adjacent to reception and was key card access only so it made you feel very safe staying there the breakfast was a varied continental style but with a lot of choices from fresh fruits yogurts pastries and deli meats and cheeses along with a selection of breads and delicious pastries The location is good being situated in a residential area and on a bus route but within walking distances of bars and restaurants the hotel has an excellent pre book shuttle service to the train station,square of miracles and also the airport which is €15 Euro for 2 passengers which is a good service We had a nice spacious room on the first floor and the beds were comfy with nice linens and air con great we would stay here again and the staff are very welcoming knowledgable and speak many languages too.

The athmosphere of the hotel was good, the public places suited well with ambiance of the ancient town of Pisa. The location of the hote was good. It was not far from the railwaystation by foot and the town, and by taxi to the airport. The room was nicely decorated, the bathroom was well equipped, there even was a little shelf to put the things necessary in the bathroom, there were enough things to hang the towels, the shower worked well and the outlook was pleasent. The personnel was very amicable and professional. Although I had to leave very early, at 5.30 h, I got a bag of well equipped breakfast which I hadn't even ordered.

All as expected. It’s an older style hotel with a lovely feel. Our room had a double/single bed. Spacious & comfortable. Mini bar contained free water. No milk/creamer with the kettle tray but we picked up jugs of milk from reception. Spare pillows in the room/plenty of hangers/safe/bathroom toiletries/slippers/good shower. The room was very warm. No idea how they’re heating it. Parts of the walls were hot to touch. Shutters on the window which we didn’t bother opening - no idea of the view, if any. Breakfast was held over a good period of time to suit all and was varied & tasty. We also had food in the bar as we arrived quite late and the chicken/beef burgers were good. The hotel is situated on a road adjacent to the main shopping street and close to the river bridges to walk over to the tower. Took us about 15-20 minutes strolling, stopping for photos, etc. We used their shuttle to return to the airport (€15) -v- walking to the station (not too far really) and spending €13 on the Pisa Mover from there. We paid €14 for a taxi from the airport upon arrival. Each of the reception staff we met with were friendly & helpful.
