This is a hotel that in some ways is not a hotel! The building is beautiful and the restorations works have kept the atmosphere of a monastery untouched. It is very quiet and pleasant in our opinion but rooms and service are basic. The hotel can organise a shuttle bus from/to Pisa airport for a minimal charge. 0409 SR The hotel has been transformed from an ancient 12th century monastery and preserves, after excellent restoration works, most of its original features. The main building is square shaped and has an internal garden. Corridors go alongside the garden and the building and give access to the rooms. There is also an annex, connected to the main building, where some rooms of the same standards are. The building is on 2 floors only. The hotel is located in a quiet street near the commercial area of Pisa, a few hundred metres from the trade fair centre. The city centre is only 1 km away and the major attractions, such as the leaning tower, are a bit further away. Easy access to motorway and airport.

Our visit to Pisa was a very pleasant

Our visit to Pisa was a very pleasant experience, and this has much to do with the welcoming and smiling atmosphere in the Santa Croce In Fossabanda Hotel. Everyone in the staff are kind and smiling and they'll do almost everything to improve your visit. The Hotel is situated within a 15 minutes walk from the the city-center, the rooms are quiet, and the Hotel itself is an architectural pearl - with old frescoes and well-restored building details both inside and in the courtyard. We will most certainly come again.

The receptionists - with one exception

The receptionists - with one exception - were not attentive enough. The breakfast service is weak; the coffee machine was broken and no one bothered to fix it for a long time. Though, the place is very clean and modern - the rooms are well furnished and they are equipped with LCD TVs and air conditioning. It is a bit far from the city center which can be reached on foot in about 20-25 minutes. The elevator was slow and often occupied.

We loved the silence of the place,

We loved the silence of the place, the spacious and high corridors with their vaulted ceilings and faced frescoes, the elegant cloister and its surrounding columns, and the simple and clean lines of the rooms and their finishes. One feels more a pilgrim than a tourist. We'll happily return any day.

The hotel has been a monastry

The hotel has been a monastry and they have tried to restore it with that in mind. So the hotelrooms are the old cells where the munks or nuns slept. Except for the bathroom the rooms are really naked cells. White washed bare walls. They could have decorated a little, if only with a religious picture or something. The charm of this hotel is outside. The garden and the outside landing outside all the cells, are marvellous and we brought a chair and enjoyed our lunchpack. At night we enjoyed the moon. Really nice and peaceful except an occational plane passing by.

Hotel staff were very helpful

Hotel staff were very helpful and hotel was well located in this charming Tuscan city. The renovation of a former monastery into a contemporary hotel was very successful, creating a wonderful ambience. Wi Fi signal was weak, so disappointing for those who needed this feature.

Staff was very helpful and I was

Staff was very helpful and I was able to park my car there after I checked out and have a one day trip to Cinque Terre. Room was not very clean and toilet smells a bit. Location of hotel wasn't very central and was about 30mins walk to Pisa Tower. However, it was an interesting experience to stayed at an old abbey.
