Hotel La Pace

Loved the location; bank, post office, Central Station, shopping, restaurants and Pharmacia are all close. Bed & pillow was very comfortable. I felt safe here as an older single traveler. I fell walking out the main door, was tired and not paying attention and my thumb found sharp glass. Receptionist, Georgiana, was absolutely wonderful, helped me clean and bandage the cut, offered to call ambulance, gave me directions to Pharmacia. I chose to just clean up, go get something to eat and then sleep. Breakfast was amazing, such a large selection! I would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed here as part of an organized tour. We arrived a day early for our tour and the staff accommodated us by keeping our room for both nights instead of making us change rooms (one night on our own booking and the second night under the tour booking). This hotel is very close to the train station Pisa Centrale (a 5 min walk), we had a very large double bed (as requested), very effective air conditioning, helpful staff, clean room, lots of wardrobe storage, and an excellent breakfast buffet. It's also in a great location to walk to the historic areas, shopping, restaurants, and the Tower of Pisa. We found a decent laundromat about a 15 minute walk away so we could do a bit of mid-trip laundry. Our guides tell us it is a family-run hotel that has been run for several generations. Updates to rooms are done a little each year but even with slightly dated furnishings it was very comfortable, welcoming and we slept well. They do ask for the room key to be left at reception when you leave the hotel to go sightsee/dine out/etc so it cannot be lost.

This hotel is right across the street from the train station and perfect if you need to catch an early flight elsewhere in the morning. If you are instead looking to really experience Pisa, the nightlife etc then keep this in mind. I arrived on a Saturday night and there was literally nobody around other than some small groups of teenagers listening to music/eating which may be intimidating to some but I found them to be harmless. While there are some comments about the pictures not being true to the hotel I would disagree with that. The lobby and the hallways are pretty dated however the room I stayed in was modern with new furniture and a very comfortable bed.

The location is great, very close to the Pisa Centrale train station. The staff were very nice, a free coffee on arrival was greatly appreciated, and the option to choose breakfast each day was very flexible. The breakfast itself was delicious with lots of choices to cater for surely every taste. The room was comfortable and clean, value for money was really excellent - highly recommend!

Very friendly and helpful check-in staff and manager. Room clean, well maintained. Lift works well. Location close to train station is very convenient. Would like to try their excellent looking breakfast next time.
