Hotel Il Giardino

I liked my room and where it was located with regards to the Tower. Decent breakfast and close to lots of things including a supermarket just down the road. Oh and there is a McDonald's "literally" underneath the hotel rooms. That worked out for me as a good thing in a pinch.

Well the location does have it's drawbacks. I was in room 9 and found myself wide awake at 5:30 due to the street sweeper making sure the place looked great for the upcoming day. I'm not sure if this is a daily thing or just every few. If it is a daily occurrence, then I'd have a hard time sleeping in. The internet access is on a basis of created login and password. It has a lifespan of only 3 hours. I would assume this is because of the McDonald's being directly under the hotel and people stealing WiFi bandwidth. The only problem with this is that if you use if for an hour or so and then leave your computer, go to check it again in a few hours, you have to go downstairs and get a renewed un and pw. Not a huge deal though.

close to tower

i was told they could not accept anything but cash even though i only had a credit card. receptionist told me to take cash out on credit card which cost me money. the booking was made with my credit card and it stated that cards were accepted. one member of staff was particularly unfriendly and unhelpful. toilet clean but in bad state of disrepair. no bar or restaurant even though they are publicised. no tea coffe making facilities. lots of stairs but no one to help with luggage

very close to Campanile di Pisa!!
