Royal Victoria Hotel

POSITIVES The hotel is amazing of you like old things. It’s very historical and has a lot of old artifacts that are fascinating. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. 15 minutes from train station and 15 minutes from the leaning tower. Overlooks the canal which is beautiful. And if you’re lucky you might get a communal balcony to sit out in on the canal. Good size bathroom and reasonable size bedroom. NEGATIVES We were in a side room which overlooked an alley, not normally a problem, but with the current heatwave we were unable to keep the windows open at night due to the street and bar noises which left us with little sleep. The air conditioning unit in our room was also broken. We were left with a small fan that pushed air around in over 31 degree heat, absolutely stifling. The water pressure was poor, and the hot and cold took far longer than it should to kick in. Mostly we had lukewarm water for everything.

Clean room and very friendly staff! Our bed was unfortunately so uncomfortable, hard to sleep.

To be clear, this hotel bills itself as the oldest hotel in Italy. It is definitely vintage. That is part of the charm. My wife and I found it to be a wonderful place to stay. It is right across the road from the river Arno. People do party on the river walk for an extended time at night. If that is going to bother you, see if you can get a room on the other side. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was great! There are only one or two parking spots in the hotel's rear court. $20. Reserve early if you want one. Pisa does not have much parking.

The property was charmingly old worldly and the position was perfect. But the rooms were very shabby with no fridge, useless air conditioning and the bathroom needed total updating. Overall our room and bathroom were dirty and needed a total refurbishment. As did the rest of the hotel. The breakfast was chaotic - the toaster broke and wasn’t replaced. The coffee machine wasn’t refilled etc because of there not being enough staff. All the staff however were charming and helpful and were working really hard.

Okay for the money. No AC, lots of mosquitoes due to open windows. Extremely loud until 330AM on Fri/Sat nights. Great location if not driving. Difficult parking with ZTL restrictions.

Great hotel. Centrally located. Excellent breakfast and coffee. Felt like we were staying in a museum. Beautiful rooms and all side rooms we visited while pottering around. Adorable rooftop terrace. You have to appreciate history, old world charm and the beauty of staying in an historic hotel that is beautifully preserved.

Shower was too small. Toilet wouldn’t flush. Bed was not comfortable and just two twin mattresses put together. Noise in this area was very loud until 3 am.

This hotel is located in a great location, but is much more run down than the pictures indicated. Acknowledging the building is very old, but none of the furniture, fixtures or amenities are up to update. Not very comfortable or secure. Would not book again.

Everything was clean and well kept. A unique landmark. Not any amenities, no breakfast, coffee or pool. Staff were very commentated. This Hotel is just a nice place to sleep in.

Bed was awful. The matress is literally 4 inches think. I've slept on more comfortable cots. No hot water in the morning. Breakfast was meh. Lots if road noise.

The likes are that it has sooo much character . This place is old but that is what makes it so great. There was places that need repair , paint chipping, and skeaky floors n doors but again that is part of what makes this place so real. If only some of the furniture or walls could talk. You can walk everywhere in Pisa from here The roof deck bar service was great in the evening Small dislike was the street noise but still slept well My wife and I will be coming back when we return Pisa

Amazing service, very patient and helpful. The room was beautiful and very clean too!

Property has a lot of character and very pretty but was old and not modernized (outlets so so, door was difficult to use metal key), and fairly noisy at night

After reading reviews for this glorious 1000 year old hotel, I was so excited to visit. There was talk of walls having cracks, people moving in and out of doors labeled "do not enter", and dimly lit hallways. When I got to the hotel I got exactly what I was expecting a wonderfully maintained 1000 year old hotel. The staff were the most friendly Italian hotel staff I have ever encountered and I loved getting to stay in such a historic structure. Parts of this hotel are 1000 years old, it will not look like American hotels. It is 1000 years old. And it is wonderful to get to see that character in the building. (And yes as a former hotel employee, there are some doors employees use that they mark as "do not enter" for the general public). This hotel made us wish we allocated more time for Pisa on our trip. I highly recommend.

Hotel was in a good location but is very old fashioned and rooms are a bit shabby. Breakfast is adequate. Hotel OK for a 1 night stay.

Avoid at all cost! The location of this hotel is excellent and impossible to fault. It is central, with a lovely position on the river, making it ideal for exploring the area. The included breakfast was also a positive, with a good variety of options to suit different tastes. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweighed the positives. There was almost no protection from outside noise, and the street noise was constant, especially early in the morning when the street cleaners started. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and clearly not fit for purpose. Every movement caused the frame to creak loudly, which was hardly surprising given it appeared to be made from plywood. As a result, we had an awful night’s sleep and decided to check out after just one night and stay somewhere else. There was also no proper hot water. We only discovered this the following morning when we turned on the shower, and the water was barely lukewarm. The bathroom itself was in very poor condition, with missing tiles, obvious poor-quality repairs, and a bathtub that looked discoloured and unclean. The staff were pleasant on arrival, but much less helpful when we raised these issues at check-out. They suggested we should have reported them sooner, but the problems only became apparent late at night and the following morning. Whilst I understand this is an old hotel that has a nice charm, the basic standards of comfort and cleanliness were not met!

Basic but clean hotel room. Very friendly staff. Perfect for a couple nights in Pisa as it is close to main tourist area. It is noisy though due to this but the noise does stop in the night.

Our rooms had ill-fitting single framed windows that allowed the noise from revellers in to roomsinto the rooms until around 0430. My showers was
