Grand Hotel Bonanno

"Stayed here for 3 nights. Was pretty sceptical after reading the reviews, but we had nothing to worry about. It's a great base to explore Pisa. It's only about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the hotel to the tower. The hotel it's self is clean and comfortable, a little dated, but nothing to write home about. Good breakfast in the morning. Plenty of variety. We eat in the restaurant one night. Good food and reasonably priced, also the hotel bar was reasonably priced as well. All the staff we came into contact with were all helpful and polite. I don't know if I would go to Pisa again, only because once you've seen it, there's nothing much else to see, but if I did I would definitely go back to this hotel and I would definitely recommend it to others."

"Second time at this hotel and they have made small upgrades like free coffee in the room that was really appreciated. We like the service and location of this hotel and also value for money. Not the best view but my son is a trainspotter so he was very happy! Great breakfast here. One small improvement that could be made is the cleaning detail in the rooms. The public areas are spotless but the rooms have scuff marks on the walls , mould in the grout of the tiles and limescale around the shower doors. This is the only reason I did not give 5/5!"

"We had a super 3 night stay at Grand Hotel Bonnano. The room was clean and comfortable, air con was excellent (which was vital during a heatwave!) Bathroom well stocked (though the hairdryer wasn't very good, but that's hardly a disaster!). Breakfast is included and there was loads of choice and plenty of it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Although it's obviously an older style establishment, everything felt well maintained and smart. The hotel is in a quiet district approx 10 mins walk to the cathedral and leaning tower. The local train station is under 10 mins walk and there are bus stops within a couple of minutes of the front door with very regular buses to the station - all journeys 1€70 no ticket needed, just tap debit card as you get on. From the main station (25 min walk or about 10 mins by bus) there are regular trains across Tuscany and wider Italy - Florence is about 1hr away. We didn't use the bar or eat at the hotel in the evening as we just walked into Pisa and ate at some of the many very reasonably priced restaurants. Would be very happy to return to Grand Hotel Bonnano!"
