Grand Hotel Bonanno - Pisa

There was nothing wrong with the hotel, but nothing really memorable about it either. Not really any facilities but fine to stay in if you flew into the airport late at night.

Everything you expect from a four star hotel in Italy. Walkable distance from the leaning tower and some decent eateries, but nothing to do immediately around the hotel.

Within walking distance of the tower and surroundings. Very good food in the restaurant - breakfast should be included. Friendly staff. Small rooms, likely no bath. Adjacent to railroad track so request room away from tracks.

The hotel was situated in a perfect location for exploring the city everything you wanted for example the main sites were ideally located within a short stroll ideal like ours for small young families with a pushchair,the staff were most courteous as well which made what i thought would be a good trip even better!

It was a decent hotel and the staff were really helpful and friendly. I had no real issues staying there but as a 4 star hotel, it wasn't really what I would have expected. It's close enough to the main attractions but the actual area is not that nice. I would have been happier if it had been advertised as a 3 star.

We booked this hotel because it was convenient for the attractions of Pisa and for the airport. It was both these things but did not really deliver it's 4 star promise. The position next to the railway track and a dirty underpass did not help. The rooms lacked character and while functional were just that bit too small. The restaurant food was fine and the service good but the pizza bases were not made on the premises and the dessert frozen.

The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the leaning tower and the square. Restaurant are few near the hotel but we did manage to find a nice father/son pizzeria just down the street that was quite good. There is also a small grocery store nearby to buy water,etc. My largest complaint is charging for internet access and the lack of wireless in the room. You have to purchase username at the front desk that gives a fixed amount of hours to use the internet. You are required to use your username even on the public computer.

Used this hotel for an overnight in Pisa. Very nice hotel - good location for sightseeing! Another thing very comfortable beds which can be rare in hotels!! Slept like a baby!!

Maybe in Pisa this is considered a 4 star hotel, but not anywhere else.

Very functional hotel but comfortable and clean. Well located for the Tower and Station with friendly and courteous staff. Struggled with the coffee machine in the morning but on the whole a nice breakfast.

I stayed in this hotel for one night with my girlfriend as we our flight into Pisa didn't get into 12pm and we our main holiday was in Florence. The rooms were spacious and the interior was beautiful. The hotel also had option on TV's to change language to english. The breakfast was excellent. I would defintely recommend this hotel to anyone that needs to spend a night before there onward journey.

Unpretentious and Welcoming the Grand Bonanno staff we're very pleasant and helpful. We got a good price on a double room with breakfast on a non refund basis. There was also free car parking at the rear of the hotel which is located in a quiet area within a short walking distance from the "Leaning Tower". The girl at reception was happy for us to leave our car parked for as long as we liked while we went on a walkabout. Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

I joined a group of eleven friends on a Hen party weekend. It was not a rowdy affair but rather a tasteful cultural exposure to Pisa. The Grand Hotel Bonanno was perfect for our needs. It was well located and accessible for all our needs. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. The use of the minibus to take us into Pisa and to the airport was a bonus. The rooms were well maintained and clean and our breakfast was fine. it was lovley to have a breakfast bag to take awy with us on the last morning when we left very early. We would all recommend this Hotel to friends and family as good value for money.

The hotel was close to the tower and to the train for Florence. Breakfast was amazing! We had a room for 3 and the extra bed had a private area wich was very nice! The staff was friendly and very helpful. Prices at the hotel resturant were better then at the tower area....watch out they charge a sitting fee and the drink prices were outrageous (at the tower) We paid 12 euros for a large drink! The hotel was a great place to relax and have no stress. Tv chanels are in a number of languages! Would definanty use this hotel again

Very good hotel, nice choice and quality breakfast with 10 mins walk to Tower

May 1st 2009 - Spent 4 nights at this hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. We arrived at the airport 20 minutes early and the hotel shuttle driver was there waiting for us with our name on a sign. Room size is average and very clean and comfortable. 7 Towels (yes seven and soap, shampoo etc. provided) in the bathroom. Shower a bit small but fine. Housekeeping do a really good job. Location is great, 5 minutes walk or 10 minutes stroll to the leaning tower. We had dinner on one night and it was lovely. Lots of nice restaurants 10 minutes walk away. Staff speak good English and very helpful, I can't stress this enough. We really enjoyed our stay.

The staff in this hotel are a wealth of local knowledge. If you are visiting Pisa, I would strongly recommend asking them for advice on places to eat and go out at night. The hotel has an excellent location, only ten minutes walk from the Piazza del Duomo (Leaning Tower of Pisa) and a short taxi ride to the modern centre of Pisa and only a few minutes drive to Galileo Galilei Airport. The facilities were excellent, including broadband internet access, full Sky Italia satellite TV (hundreds of channels) and a minibar in the bedroom. There is also ample, safe parking behind the hotel. The only downside was the air conditioning was not working. Although, our trip was in April, so the weather outside was very pleasant and it was possible to leave the window open at night.

Close to most major tourist attractions as well as the main train station.

We stayed on hotel bonannoon a short weekend break. The hotel is classed as a four star however it's more of a good three star. The one downsize is you can hear everything in the rooms and we found it difficult to sleep.. It is reasonable priced and centrally based for a short break.

Hotel was nice and clean, we booked a triple room which had three beds. We had a fourth person arrive with us and they allowed them to sleep in their own sleeping bag in the room at no extra cost even though we were expecting to and willing to book an extra room. Full buffet breakfast for all four of us, very nice coffee, scrambled eggs bacon, hams and salamis, cheese, both hard and soft, fresh breads, croissants and pastries, yoghurts and cereals, fresh juice. Hotel only eight minutes walk from Leaning Tower. Bathroom spotlessly clean. Not as luxurious as I would have expected for a Four Star though, more of a good three Star really

The hotel is new, extremely clean, with good size rooms, a secure and free parking, a nice bar, close to the Torre (you can go there on foot), with odorless air con, confy beds, wireless connection.

Was good and walking distance from centre and sites. Wouldn't necessarily eat an evening meal there as v expensive though v good service.

Look new, clean, comfortable, very quiet. Shower/toilet room is rather small but modern and clean. Away from other hotels. About ten minutes walk to the leaning tower of PISA. Five minutes from the PISA Central station by taxi - about five-eight euros. Bus no 5 takes you to the hotel - if you are on a low budget.

Stayed here for a long weekend and the the hotel was perfect for what we wanted. The people on reception are friendly and speak good english. Even after we had checked out they were helpful by storing our luggage for a few hours and then booking our cab to the airport. The rooms are average size but cleaned daily, and the bathroom is clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a good location, only 5-10 min walk to the leaning tower and about a 5 min walk to the train station where you can get to Florence in 1 hr 20 mins.

Nice enough hotel... Only downsides are: - Surrounding neighbourhood doesn't have much atmosphere or restaurants etc - Beds not really as good as I'd expect from a 4-star hotel Doesn't look like there are many 'excellent' hotels in Pisa though, so this is reasonable for the price etc.

We stayed four nights in the hotel from the 12th to 16th of November and we could not fault the hotel at all. The front desk was very helpful with any of our requests. The rooms and the hotel furnishings could not be faulted and the breakfast was excellent. I would recomend this hotel to any other travellers who are thinking og going to Pisa.

Hotel is good value for money - although it is right next to the underpass there is no noise in the room. Breakfast excellent and staff very helpful

Hotel was modern with all the mod cons. Staff were very friendly and helpful. 10min walk to Leaning Tower. Breakfast was very nice.

We had a triple room for four nights to sightsee Pisa, Lucca, Florence & Viareggio. Room very good and hotel reception staff very helpful with info re. taxis/bus service/trains etc. Location very good to walk into Pisa and see sights and do shopping. Main train station requires taxi but local one within walking distance. Bus stop nearby too. We were disappointed with unsmiling restaurant staff and had a disappointing evening meal at hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Bonano. We ate both evenings in the restaurant which was very good and the service was good. It is a modern hotel within walking distance of the Pisa sites.

The hotel is central to all tourist areas

Fairly standard 4 star hotel but for Brits an annoying lack of tea/coffee making facilities in the room which seems to be a standard practice across Italy! Hotel location means that rooms at the front of the hotel overlooking a main road and a railway line can be noisy-ask for a room at the rear and kick up a fuss if they say they don't have any spare ones. Room was spacious and bathroom very clean. Hotel restaurant wasn't expensive and was OK if you didn't want to explore the culinary"delights" of Pisa which we thought overall was a bit of a dump-apart from its iconic attractions of course.

The room was very small and cramped. The hotel was clean and the staff helpful, but we were not impressed with the location. In order to get to the Leaning Tower, you had to walk approximately a mile. We did notice that whenever we asked for directions we were told it was a 5 minute walk. I am not sure how fast the normal person walks, but I don't normally do a 5 minute mile. The Hotel was nice for the money, but had I known the location I would have spent a few dollars more to be nearer the Leaning Tower.

I read all the reviews on hotels.com before we went and it was a good 20 - 25 minute walk from Pisa station to the hotel. But it was good to do this walk to see a bit of Pisa on route. As others said, there was the underpass that you had to walk under to get to the hotel but it was all very safe. Only about 15 mins walk to leaning tower and about 15 mins in the other direction to the main town and river. The hotel was newly built, our room was nice, clean and had everything we needed. Was at the back so was quiet but walls were a thin and you could hear next door, but thats kind of normal these days. Only an hour on the train from Pisa to Florence - great value at ?1.20! There were other hotels that were nearer to the tower etc. but this was great value for money and had a great breakfast buffet! Recommended!

would have no hesitation in going back to this hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. I had a single room and the bed was almost a 3/4 size; ample space - didn't feel cramped.

Hotel muy agradable. Buena limpieza y servicios en general. Está a 15 minutos andando de la Piazza del Miracoli. Habitaciones un poco justas de espacio (p.ej. tiene ducha pero no bañera). El suelo de las habitaciones es de moqueta, que no nos gusta por ser antihigiénico. Aun así, estaba muy limpio. Por cierto: Pisa NO solo tiene la Piazza del Miracoli. No os perdáis la Piazza del Cavallieri y la zona del rio. Nos lo recomendaron en recepción y realmente valió la pena.

My wife and two teenage daughters stayed for a week.. We loved this hotel! We found it hard to fault this hotel at al. Some have quibbled with its' 4 star rating, but this is a smallish private hotel, so no, it doesn't have a pool..were very pleased to have two separate adjoining rooms with a connecting door: it meant our girls had their own space, en suite shower room, satellite tv etc and twin beds, whilst my wife and I had a huge and very comfortable double bed. The rooms were spotless and cleaned every day. Fresh towels are provided if you put the old ones in the shower tray each morning. The breakfast buffet was very good with a good range of choices. We ate twice in the restaurant. The first time when we checked in we were given a 15% discount voucher and we had a lovely meal c 90 euro after discount. The last night we were offered a packed breakfast but I cheekily asked if instead we could have another discount voucher for our last night dinner and the staff happily obliged. The location of the hotel is about 12-15 mins easy walk via suburban roads and an underpass which is easy to negotiate from the tower area. We used taxis to get to Pisa Central train station, cost around 10 euro. We would heartily recommend this lovely hotel to others. We will certainly return, and Pisa would make an ideal long weekend destination, just long enough to get away from the UK's endless clouds!

This was a very comfortable, modern hotel, with professional staff. The weakness of the hotel is its location, as it is not in city centre (the distance is not enormous though). It's ideal if you want just to stay one night to catch a flight at the Pisa Airport, which is just a 10 min drive from the hotel. At breakfast, the coffee was cold...

Not as central as expected and you have to walk through an underpass and along a very busy road to get to the main square. however lovely hotel with great staff.

Stayed at this hotel for one night coming back from a wedding. The location was ideal for the tower, the breakfast was lovely & my kids loved it because they said it looked like the hotel out of the disney programme "The suite life of Zac and Cody"!!!!

Easy to find, great location for access to the airport (10 min drive), and great location for sight-seeing. And all at a very good price. Not too close to the tower and the crowds. Staff couldn't have been more helpful including providing a packed breakfast as we had to leave early to catch a flight.

Efficient and clean hotel with good air conditioning. Friendly service and good bar food and service.

Having booked a break in Florence we decided to stay for one night in Pisa to break up the journey. The Grand Bonanno is a short distance from the airport and also about a 10 minute walk to the leaning tower. Overall the hotel was clean and comfortable but a little noisy due to it's location.

Hotel is only a few minutes walk from the leaning tower and some great restaurants. Very clean and fantastic air conditioning in the room (which we couldn't have done without in June).

A 10 minute walk away from the key sites, this hotel is ideal for those who want quality at an affordable price. The hotel is modern and clean. It is in a residential/ industrial area so views are not fantastic but who wants to spend their holiday staring out of their hotel room anyway? The hotel is opposite a rail line and in front of a main road but inside the rooms it was quiet. Rooms have Sky TV and air con. The breakfast is standard continental. We found the staff really helpful and friendly.

The hotel is close to both a rail line and a busy underpass, in fact not a particularly attractive setting although convenient for the airport being on that side of town. The hotel is modern, clean and functional. It is fine if you are travelling on business and are looking for functionality, but if like my wife and I you are visitting on holiday, I would expect something that looks more comfortable. The hotel is rather like a slightly up market motel. The restaurant whilst not having much character served well prepared food.

fairly central, next to train station. No noise, very nice rooms, sweeties on reception, free nibbles and drinks in the evening. Hotel appears to be fairly new, we had a room at the back, room a little small, view not brilliant (car park belonging to some apartments) but only really slept there. Receptionists more than helpful to answer any questions, print train timetables etc. 10 minute walk to tower. 10 euros from airport by taxi or hotel mini bus. Woul definitely go back to this hotel.

The hotel was spotless and the service was amazing. We asked the desk to call us a taxi and it arrived in 2minutes! Breakfast was really good but there is a lack of hotels in the area to eat at night.
