The hotel is decent for a budget stay, especially with its easy access to public transport and a nearby supermarket. While the rooms could use some updates and the dining experience was average, the clean environment and friendly staff add to the overall positive experience. However, the pool's early closing hours might be disappointing for those wanting to relax after a long day of sightseeing.

The hotel is a decent option for a short stay, especially for families, with clean accommodations and convenient access to local transport. However, the rooms are on the smaller side, and not all amenities feel up to a four-star standard. The breakfast could also use more variety. Overall, it offers fair value for money, particularly for those looking for easy access to Pisa.

Overall, my stay was a mixed bag. The hotel offers great value for the price, and I found the rooms to be clean and warm. However, the breakfast was quite disappointing, and the dining options were limited. The pool was more of a concrete slab than a relaxing escape, and the location, while marginally convenient, felt isolated and hard to navigate without transport.

However, the location was a bit far from the city center, and the breakfast left something to be desired.
