The ambiance brought us to early 60's. We have tried several times before getting our gigantic heavy metal key right to the key hole. The showers are epic. Beds are not comfortable enough. Light fixtures are old. The lobby has the view of the street which is a good spot to hang out especially their wi-fi works only if you are close to the reception desk. It has nice outdoor seating where you could have some drinks or appetizers. The breakfast and dinner we had were great. The dinner served on our arrival were one of the best meal we had during our tour (were at our Day 5 ). I loved my cannelloni a la Florentina and my pork roast. It has proven that traditional Tuscan meals were one of the best cuisine in the world. It was a delight to our senses. Its location is perfect. Walking distance to the town center famous restaurants, shops and the plaza. Checking out was not easy as the service desk person made sure to list down the returned key or else each unreturned key will be subject to a $50 fee.

Definitely would recommend. The hotel itself is conveniently located in the city and there are…read moreplenty of eating options in walking distance. The train station is two blocks away. The rooms are comfortable and the bathroom in our room was recently remodeled and upgraded. Breakfast was a very nice selection of typical European breads, cold cuts, fruit, yogurt and eggs. The staff is truly outstanding. They went out of their was to be accommodating and all were very friendly. Our original room was across from the plaza and there was a band playing for a party late, they immediately moved us to an inside room, no questions. Breakfast staff likewise was very helpful. Only reason the hotel didn't get 5 stars is you could feel the faded elegance, like it was once a destination for the upper crust that was now more middle class. Did nothing to detract from the comfort, value, or the staff, just something to be aware of if you are expecting a brand new hotel experience. If traveling to Tuscany and staying in Montecatini, I would stay again without hesitation. BTW, park in any of the blue street parking locations around the hotel and then get the parking pass from the hotel when you check in. The pass let's you park in those spots unlimited.

Simple breakfasts of ham, cheese, salami, croissants, rolls, jams, Nutella, cake, juice and tea or caffe, Americanos, latte or cappuccino prepared by their friendly concierge staff who were very helpful throughout our week there. The room was large, clean, uncluttered, with simple built-in slelves and rack for luggage and clothes, and a personal safe. The bathroom fairly palatial with bidet, plus towel heater and hair dryer built in (save a pound in your luggage!). We'll go back to Firenze in a heartbeat, and you can bet we'll be staying at the Relais Modern again!

Rinascimento Bed & Breakfast was a wonderful place to stay while in Pisa. The owners/hosts, Andrea…read moreand Andy, are absolutely the best. They are friendly, accommodating, welcoming, and helpful. Our room was very comfortable. Breakfast was just right. If you'd like, they will make a great cappuccino for you. The location was also perfect, in the heart of everything. We had two large pieces of luggage with wheels and it was an easy 10 to 15 minute walk from the train station. One evening Andy had left a note on the desk counter near the front door recommending a restaurant not far from Rinascimento B&B. Alle Bandierine (address: Via Mercanti 4). It's an easy 5 or 6 minute walk in the direction of the train station but much closer as you don't cross the bridge over the Arno River. As is typical for dinner this restaurant opens at 7:30PM. We arrived at about 7:50PM and we almost couldn't get in. I suggest arriving a few minutes before it opens. The food and service were excellent. I highly recommend giving it a try. Do stay away from Anita Osteria for dining. Another suggestion made by Andrea is to walk on the top of the wall. This wall was built in the mid 12th century and offers great views. It's the oldest wall in all of Italy. If someday a return to Pisa is in the cards, I will definitely stay at Rinascimento Bed & Breakfast again. A warm and inviting place to stay in a perfect location. I highly recommend this B & B.

Airone Pisa Park is a simple but comfortable small hotel situated in the countryside of Tuscany…read more I've stayed there on two occasions now and hope to go there again one day, as it provides a very reasonable base for touring Tuscany in relaxing peaceful surroundings. Comfortable large rooms with good size beds and modern ensuite bathrooms. Everything was kept spotless and the rooms are serviced every day. It has a great swimming pool set in pretty grounds that are fragranced with rose bushes and oleander hedges. There are free bicycles to borrow which was ideal for exploring locally, though the main road from Pisa is a little busy so too scary for me to venture onto, I stuck to the little paths and lanes. The bicycles were in need of a little maintenance but luckily we managed to get two punctureless bikes cobbled together!!! Though the hotel itself doesn't have a restaurant there was an excellent one next door, I'll review it separately to do it justice.

The surroundings of this little hotel reminds me of the Farming lands in Asia country. Quiet peaceful. They have a restaurant. One thing I wasn't sure about dinning in Europe is that every where I eat the food is like "salty" when I say salty it really mean they put lots salt. Sometimes, I do wish they have FDA like we do in the US so the food is less salty after knowing consuming too much salt is not healthy. Anyways, their rooms are quiet large and so does the bed. But they do have "old-fashioned" bulky TVs that doesn't have many English channels. I remembered the hotel has a house cat which was quiet friendly, it accompanied me when I stayed there : )

If you want fresh fruit or meats, there are many shops located within a few steps/blocks. Was very quiet. Will stay again as you can't beat the price and location.

Definitely getting business solely based on their close proximity to the tower... Their restroom was disgusting! There was pee in all the corners & around the toilet, which has no seat on it. Unfortunately, we ordered our food before our restroom experience. Once the food came, it was nothing like the photos on their board to lure you in. When we questioned what we received, the guy seemed irritated with our questions & basically moved on to other tables. We ate quickly & the food was below average. Upon leaving, I wanted to sample the gelato for purchase. I was given one sample of a mixed fruit; however, when inquiring on a 2nd flavor, the same guy told me they don't give samples. What gelateria says that?!?... No thanks & a definite thumbs down!! Poor food & customer service!!

I would have given a better rating if the service was better but our waitress had the worst stink face and didn't even bother to give us plates for our appetizers to share. Food was ok, nothing to brag about. We ordered the Crostini with 4 sauces, meh. The salad with kiwi and pears was ok. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan which was a messy plate of tomato sauce with eggplant and mozzarella. The best from the group was probably the pasta with mushroom sauce.
