Blue Shades ApartHotel

I’m delighted to share our fantastic experiences at Hotel Blue Shades in Pisa. This marked our second year in a row visiting, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the warm hospitality provided by Gianluca. On both occasions, we encountered unexpected travel issues, and Gianluca went above and beyond to accommodate us at short notice, even staying up late to welcome us with open arms. His personal touch extended to preparing delightful snacks and refreshing drinks for our family, truly making us feel at home. It’s evident that Gianluca takes pride in his role and cares deeply about his guests’ comfort and happiness. Overall, our stays at Hotel Blue Shades have been nothing short of exceptional, largely due to Gianluca’s impeccable service and welcoming nature. We can’t wait to return for yet another amazing experience. I just can hope that „Isabella“ appreciated the value, Gianluca is providing to this hotel ;-)

The young Manager was extremely helpful, warm and caring.

Booked Blue Shades just for convenience before an early flight on last day of our holiday-but got so much more. It’s really close to the airport and Pisamover. Super friendly staff which included hotel dog and a parrot, who will sit on your shoulder. Locally there is a supermarket and brilliant cafe and in the evening a fantastic bistro which served a meal far better than you might expect. Highly recommend.

Nothing.

the staff are FANTASTIC! the clearly love working with their visitors. Jean Luc in particular, but also the wonderful woman working the front desk and so nice! and eager to please. Honestly, I decided to visit the area at the last minute on a busy weekend so there weren’t many options- but wow! This place had everything! awesome AC at a very hot time, delicious dinner available even late (lots of options). There’s also a popular bar/night club on the property, but they quiet down pretty early. breakfast was included, and usually that means limited selection and tasteless whatever.. here there was marvelous fresh baked bread, perfectly ripe fruit and so much more. would return in a heartbeat

I spent less time in Pisa because the hotel had such a terrific restaurant choice

The room was a comfortable size considering we had two additional singles for our children, and was tastefully decorated. A very modern apartment it was a pleasure to stay in a place that was impeccably clean, well thought out, and lovely. We loved the inclusion of air conditioning, coffee pods, and of course the mini kitchen and bar fridge. The wonderful staff who checked us in made us feel welcomed, and very well looked after as they booked a taxi for our early flight the next day and also for our dinner out. The location is a stones throw to the airport and only a little more to Pisa Centrale both very walkable even with luggage.

I went to have a late shower after dinner to find the waterfall shower head was cracked and broken meaning the flow was dreadful.

We needed a place to stay very close to Pisa airport as we had checked out of our holiday hotel early in the morning and our flight home was very late in the evening. So while we only stayed for about five hours, it gave us the opportunity to have a base near the airport, and rest. The room and beds were extremely comfortable, the staff were lovely, there was a really nice cafe/bistro just across the road from the hotel, and it was only a five minute walk to the airport. Also, there is a friendly little dog called Chicco in the reception 🙂

A small and friendly hotel, the staff was helpful and felt genuine. We stayed at the hotel because it's very close to the airport (we were flying home the day after) but it was also very close to the city center so it was perfect for us. The room had everything we need and more, it seemed to be updated recently. Breakfast was good as well, it was bigger and more to choose from than I had expected. I would definitely consider staying here again.

The water pressure in the shower could've been stronger but that's about it, I wasn't even sure I was gonna write anything about it because I'm being picky but that's the only thing I noticed.

Very clean well kept hotel. Lovely apartment with comfortable beds and very close to the airport so you can easily walk.

We are a family of 5 and we knew we were getting a sofa bed for the 5th bed but it wasn’t made up and it was a sofa rather than a sofa bed. We found extra sheets to make the bed up and it was cosy enough but I think it is really an apartment for 4.

The personal service was exceptional. We felt that the staff really and sincerely appreciated our business. We had an excellent dinner and a more than adequate continental breakfast. The location was perfect for anyone needing a hotel near the airport: it was only a 10-15 minute walk from the airport.

Honestly, we can’t think of anything that we didn’t like. We stayed at a comfortable, clean hotel, close to the airport, with friendly staff and good food.

Very short walk from the Pisa airport. Staff was super friendly, even gave us a free bottle of wine and dinner late in the evening. The room was clean + spacious, even has a little kitchen. There is an excellent cafe one minute from the door and a super market just across the street. Very convenient.

The only bad thing about the hotel, they need new mattresses. They are using what feels like really old SPRING mattresses, and you can feel each spring on your back when you lie down.
