Hotel Maria

The hotel maria is in an excellent location, between the bus station/terminus & train station although the hotel itself sits on a quiet side street. It is also close to various shops & cafes & a short walk from the supermarket. The hotel interior itself reminded me of something much more upmarket, with wide marble staircases, mirrors & glass bannisters. Check in was quick & easy & i was accompanied to my room & shown how to operate the lock. The room itself seemed larger than most with space to move around the double bed. There is also a desk with under counter fridge & a wardrobe with hangers. There is a lovely wide window although the wooden shutter means it's never too bright. There is also a small side patio adjacent to the hotel with some seating. All of the staff members i encountered on my visit seemed helpful & polite. They also spoke good english, which made things a little easier for me. Having stayed in my fair share of crap hotels, this was a pleasant step up. I've always said that good accomodation can increase your in holiday enjoyment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for anything in the area.

Due to improvement works, the optional breakfast was unavailable Housekeeping missed a day (I didnt really care) The lights in the room didn't seem as bright as they perhaps should be The room key card system was out of use during my stay (not really a complaint, more of an observation)

Very conveniently located a short walk (100metres) from Pisa Centrale train station. Friendly staff who would always greet you on entry and exit. The room and especially the bathroom was spacious and clean and came equipped with air-conditioning. Our room was cleaned daily and fresh towels given. There was conveniently a fridge within the room and cold sparkling water and water available in the lobby. There is little not to like about this hotel, especially at the price.

There was some noise audible in the mornings from the lobby/ other rooms, however not enough to be a disturbance. There was also a hole in one of the towels provided which may need replacing.

Highly recommend this hotel. The staff are the sweetest ever and went above and beyond to assist us in everything we required. Apart from the hotel room, we had also booked a parking spot with the hotel in a nearby garage at the price of €25 per day which was extremely worth it since it saved us the hassle of parking. The hotel also has a bar at the entrance were we had a coffee and a croissant every morning at very reasonable prices. Room was clean and comfortable. No noise could be heard from outside so we slept very well. Bathroom is basic but very clean and had everything necessary. Towels were replaced daily and were very clean. The lovely lady at the reception even called us a taxi when we needed to go to the airport. They also provide a service to hold your luggage even if you are not staying at their hotel at a charge. Location was very central, within walking distance to Pisa centre where there are all the shops, restaurants and the Campo dei Miracoli. Also very very close to the train station. Thank you to all the staff at Hotel Maria, you made our stay comfortable and carefree.

Maybe a few more hangers for the clothes would have been ideal but honestly nothing else, it was perfect.

Wonderful hosts in a family establishment that spans several generations. So friendly and helpful during my short stay. Literally a stones throw from the central station and a pleasant stroll through the town to all the main attractions of Pisa. Very comfortable room, totally perfect as a base for a short stay. Lovely to be able to get coffee and a pastry for breakfast and eat in the common terrace area. Very secure and safe for solo travellers, I felt completely at ease during my stay.

No negatives.

Hotel Maria is very well situated for Pisa railway station with fast, frequent monorail link to the airport. There a range of restaurants within 5 minutes walk, but also only 10-15 mins walk from main centre of Pisa, and 30-40 mins walk to Leaning Tower. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was good size, though en-suite bathroom was quite small. Very clean. Facilities in room were good - TV, small fridge, safe, reasonable storage. Bed was comfy.

Air-con was not on and appeared to be centrally controlled - no controller in the room. Were not able to ask staff about this as did not realise until we returned late in day and reception was closed. There was a heatwave whilst we were there so had a very sticky night.

The staff are very thoughtful and friendly. Location is excellent, 2-3mins walk to train station.

I am not mad about the bathroom , it's a voice-activated lights， when I had my shower for around 3-4 minutes and the light was disactivated which leaves me shwering in the dark.

Excellent location,2 min walk from train station and only 10mins from airport Staff excellent,clean hotel and good breakfast

Didn't have a kettle in the room so if you like ahot drink when you return you need to bring your own

Reading the reviews I felt a bit nervous about staying there but the hotel actually exceeded my expectations. Everything I needed was there and the room was very comfortable. I think the facilities must have been updated because you definitely can operate the A/C from your room with a remote. Might be a bit noisy as the hotel is very close to the train station but at night it was perfectly quiet. And excellent location for the train station and the airport, especially when you can get a shuttle train from the station to the airport! And Maria and others were very helpful. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you!

Could be a slightly better choice of food for breakfast.

We were so happy to spend 5 nights in this very pleasant and comfortable family run hotel. The lovely friendly staff were always on hand to assist, especially with our luggage. And having an in-house shuttle service back to airport was indeed a bonus. Our buffet breakfast was very enjoyable each morning and the coffee was excellent and plentiful. Our bedroom was spacious and clean, and we were delighted to have air conditioning at our disposal. Its a great location to explore the sights and Pisa Centrale Station was within walking distance. We felt safe in this Hotel as the main entrance door is locked at the reception area, and only opens when guests arrive back. Hope some day to return again to stay in Hotel Maria. This is a hotel which we can Very Highly Recommend!

Nothing to Dislike!

We were perfectly located near the Pisa train station. We were helped up the stairs with our luggage. The room was extremely large with beds enough for 5 people, although, we only needed 3. Everything was super clean and smelled good. We were on the first floor and didn't hear noise from the street. The family who owns Hotel Maria are among some of the nicest people I've ever met. I can't express enough the kindness they gave us. We had a situation with my child not feeling well and they gave caring support and helped me figure out things like what the labels on the medicine from the Farmacia said and how to get food delivered (but with real compassion). They let us stay beyond normal check out time the next day due to the circumstance. Not only that, even though my son was better, they offered and drove us to the airport. This family has my respect and gratitude like none other. La vita e Bella when there are people like this in it!
