When we booked this it did say we would have a kettle in the room which we didn't, the shower wasn't very powerful and took a while to warm up. Other than that the staff are very helpful, room cleaned every day, the location is spot on and easy walking distance to most things including the railway station.

Area felt safe, room was clean and decent. Hoist was lovely, I was checked in earlier than the expected time with no extra cost. Communication was fantastic, host provided instructions and bus information to get to the property. 5min to the tower and about 15 min walk to the train station. A kettle with be ideal in the room and the walls are also very thin, you can hear people talking or taking a shower.

If you travel with car - register your plates for ZTL (Zone Traffico Limitato) in advance and park only on blue paid spots, it’s quite expensive hourly, but you can purchase 24 hours parking for 12 euros in hotel

Had a great stay at Gialel Pisa who is in the perfect location just 7 mins walk from the Tower. My friend and I shared a twin room with an external private bathroom - but it was very clean and just outside our room. Also we had the most beautiful balcony - which we used a lot. The staff doesn't speak much English but they were very welcoming and helpful - so can only highly recommend.

Very Good but Noisy

The room was very nice with a fridge, excellent air con and a very comfortable bed. There was a small lift and the building felt very safe.
My only complaint is the noise level, not from outside, but from inside. There seemed to be no sound proofing and a lot of echo so you could hear loud voices from the halls and reception, TV, slamming doors, etc. I carry earplugs and had to use them to fall asleep most nights.
If it wasn’t for the noise, I would have given it a higher score. As long as you don’t mind wearing earplugs, you should be fine

This property met all my expectations! Gialel Pisa is very near the Piazza dei Miracoli where the Leaning Tower is located. A mere 6-minute walk is all it takes to marvel in the beauty of the spectacular monuments of Pisa. Moreover, the room that we stayed in is very clean and very spacious. A big plus is the wonderful and working AC which is a big deal after spending the whole day under the sweltering heat of the sun. The front desk staff are very welcoming! Highly recommended!

You'll like it.

This is the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in; cleaner than any of the big chain hotels. The staff was super friendly. Security is very strong. The location is perfect; between the train station and the Domo. It is next to the university with plenty of cheap restaurants and bars, yet the hotel is very quiet. Suggestions: (1) for breakfast try the coffee shop across the alley called \"Filter.\" You will b e surprised b y the quality of the food, the presentation, the friendly staff and the low prices. (2) The guesthouse is on the fourth floor at the address provided. There is no sign at the entry of the building-just ring the bell.

We stayed in this place for five days and wouldn’t do it any other way. The room is spotless and spacious, perfect for a family of three; the location is excellent. You can walk to restaurants and shopping, a few minutes to the Leaning Tower, and walk to the train station. The lady and the gentleman who run the place are very accommodating and always pleasant.

Quiet hotel near the Piazza del Duomo

I liked Gialel Pisa very much. The hotel is located on two floors of a condominium building, with an elevator, in the historical part of the downtown. It is surrounded by University of Pisa buildings and also on a main street leading to the Piazza del Duomo where all the major sites of Pisa are located. The reception was very friendly and efficient and the room was modern, had a balcony and window shutters, and a nice view over the town.
There are ample breakfast and dining opportunities in the immediate neighborhood.

Great location and great value.

Bed was very comfortable and the en-suite bathroom was the cleanest I have ever seen - it sparkled!
Ideally placed near to Leaning Tower and railway station a 20 minutes walk.
A coffee shop is literally 10 feet from the front door.
Numerous good quality eateries in the immediate vicinity.
The couple who manage the rooms are very friendly and helpful.
Great location for anyone with mobility issues, everything you may need is very close.

Lovely guesthouse in the heart of Pisa

This is a lovely guesthouse in the centre of Pisa, just five minutes walk from the cathedral and leaning tower. The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean, with a lovely shower, fast wifi, and excellent air conditioning. Check in was easy and the staff very helpful. I give it 9/10 for the price. The only thing they could do better is provide a kettle, coffee, and mugs/glasses in the room. Otherwise, a fabulous place to stay at a reasonable price.

The family who run this property are wonderful! They are friendly and helpful and work hard to keep Gialel clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the walls between rooms are so thin we could hear everything going on in rooms on both sides (we were in room 404). This made it difficult to sleep since we could hear snoring next door. We could never stay there again and if you stay— bring earplugs!

Excellent no-frills stopover in Pisa

Great location near the leaning tower but also quiet. Good communication from guest house about restricted check in times (you need to let them know arrival time to make sure someone is there and not after 9 pm, although they did say they can do check i9pm-12pm at an extra cost). Efficient check in (we checked in 7.15 pm) and then left to ourselves. The guest house was a set of rooms on the fourth floor of a residential building, very secure. Small efficient lift. Kettle and tea bags were provided if you remember to ask at check in. Extremely clean with a little fridge. Not the sort of room that you want to spend a lot time in but if you’re only there to fill in on the sights it’s great. USB charging points excellent and wifi ok. We walked around the tower at night as well as during the day as it was so close. Lots of places to eat at reasonable prices. It is a 15-20 minute walk to Pisa Centrale and a €15 taxi ride to the airport. Good shopping between guest house and train station.

The hosts were wonderful and accommodating. Location was great, very close to the Tower and shopping/restaurants. Wifi worked well! My only complaint is that my room had a (private, thankfully) bathroom detached from the main room. I had to leave my room and walk down the hall to access my bathroom. Also, the walls are very thin. Noise from the foyer was constantly heard, be it conversations, cleaning/vacuuming, etc. Overall a good stay but for short durations.

Close to The Leaning Tower

We had an excellent stay at this hotel. There was a lift so that made it nice to get our bags to our room. We were greeted with very friendly people and a bottle of water each. The room was very clean and comfortable. We also had a view of the leaning tower of Pisa which was a bonus.

Gialel Pisa was absolutely wonderful. They greeted us at check in with cold water. The room was very clean with comfortable bedding and well functioning air conditioner in the summer heat. It’s a close walk to the leaning tower and major attractions of Pisa. Would recommend stopping right next door to Filter for coffee/breakfast.

Superb but not soundproof

A great room for those who like to get out and about. A beautiful view that you don't have to get out of bed for. Hosts were lovely from arrival to departure. Ideally situated 5 minute walk from the tower and about a 15 minute walk from the train station. Room is clean and comfortable but is not soundproof so you can hear other guests leaving/ entering their room and daily cleaning. You might want to pack ear plugs. Osteria I Santi and Peperoncino were great places for dinner. Townwall walk highly recommended!

Warm-hearted welcoming, tidy and accessible

When we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed by offering us two bottles of cold water. The owner was very friendly. The room is new, tidy and clean. There is an AC and well-equipped bathroom. We were allowed to store our luggages there even though we’ve checked out. When we picked up our luggages, we were also offered two bottles of water. Our stay ended up by a chitchat and warm-hearted regards. Overall speaking, we had a great stay in this hotel. Highly recommended.

Outstanding hotel!

Couldn't have asked for more in a hotel for our short break! The staff were welcoming and great with the kids. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious (there were 4 of us!), immaculate and had everything we needed in full working order, they even thought about the mosquitos and had plug ins in the room for us to use!! The location from the airport and for exploring Pisa was absolutely perfect, especially with children, we walked to everything and an added bonus was the view of the leaning tower from the balcony! If we ever visit Pisa again, this would be our first stop for accomodation!
Loved everything about it ❤

Absolutely AMAZING-The only place to stay in Pisa!

The stay was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment of arrival, water was offered as the lovely friendly staff could see I was hot. They were warm & welcoming, showed me to my room & around it to make sure I was happy & that I knew how to use the amenities. They gave me a map & highlighted all the areas of interest & what to see in the short time I had. In the mornings they would wave to me when they saw me & made me feel at home so far away from home. The service is the best I have ever received! The location is quiet & peaceful & beautiful area to stay in Pisa, I felt at home with all restaurants nearby & cute cafe next door with beautiful healthy food & great friendly staff! The price was great value & the room was extremely comfortable & clean, bathroom was just lovely. The only place to stay in Pisa!

Basic, clean and comfortable

We weren't massively impressed with this guest house, not because of the facilities but the service was a bit lacking. First of all, we turned up to be told that we couldn't have the en suite room we paid for because there was a problem with the bathroom which would take days to fix. We had been emailed about this, apparently, but hadn't seen it because we had been travelling to the hotel. Anyway, no drama, we could have another double room with a private bathroom which was outside the room and we'd have our own key. We decided that this was fair enough and just one of those things, but when we got to our room and checked our emails, the person who had emailed us had offered to waive the City Tax (€1.50 per person per night for our stay). We'd already paid that when we checked in and couldn't be bothered taking the staff (who didn't seem that bothered either) to task on the subject for the measly €6 we'd been offered as compensation for being downgraded without notice. It was a pain having to get dressed and go out of our room with the keys every time we wanted a wee, but it wasn't the end of the world. We only stayed here for two nights, but we got locked out of the apartment TWICE because a staff member had left her keys in the other side of the door which was very irritating, especially when she tried to show us how to work a door (like we didn't know!) and then finally realised that it was HER KEY which stopped us getting in.

Great views from bedroom's balcony

Brilliantly located, just a few minutes walk from the Leaning Tower etc and lots of places to eat. Supermarket nearby. The view from the room (with balcony) looks over Tuscan rooftops to the mountains, with several campanile in between.

Be aware that \"private bathroom\" means that you have exclusive use, but doesn't mean en-suite - it is about 4 metres away. This is not a problem as it is well-appointed and you have your own key - just make sure you have a dressing gown or wrap to hand.

Really well located, friendly and very clean

We had a great stay - the hotel was really accommodating and the staff were helpful and welcoming. The room was very clean and newly refurbished with a nice view over the roofs of Pisa. The location is really central in the historic and academic part of town and walkable to the train station, which is great for doing day trips out of town and for arrival from the airport. The coffee and croissant breakfast in a local bar is basic, but it's the way the Italians eat breakfast so you can't fault the authenticity! The hotel is in a locked apartment which is within a locked building so the security is also great.
My only issue was with the building work going on elsewhere in the building. It wasn't a problem at the weekend but was a little noisy on week day mornings. Hopefully it will be over soon though, as otherwise it was a quiet and calm location.

Excellent hotel in Pisa centre

I spent 3 nights in this hotel in February and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone staying in Pisa. The hotel staff were excellent in locating the sights and very accommodating, including a detailed description before arrival of how to get from the airport to the hotel, though missed the main entrance fist time round! The hotel is in very easy reach of all the sights of Pisa, as well as restaurants and shops nearby. The room was very clean and new, it had barely been used! It is on the fourth floor, so good exercise or you can use the lift. On arrival you're given vouchers for breakfast (a choice of hot drink and pastry) in one of two cafes nearby - very easy and hassle-free. If I return to Pisa this is where I'll chose to stay!!

The best bed and breakfast! Friendly staff!

Gialel Pisa bed and breakfast was amazing! The lady at the reception was very nice, friendly and gave us a map and showed us all the biggest attractions. The room was very clean and well organised. The lady is very kind and allowed us to check in early because our train arrived early and we had a heavy luggage (there is also a lift which is very helpful when you have heavy luggage). The lady also spoke fluent English and the man who is also there is very kind and greeted us every day. This bed and breakfast is situated at the heart of Pisa and therefore all of the main attractions are very close by (all walking distance). The leaning tower of Pisa is approximately three minutes walk which is ideal because you can view it as many times as you want! I recommend going there at night as well. For breakfast you have a choice between two nearby cafes (both less than 1 minutes walk), you are given a voucher and then you present your voucher at the cafe and you are given a choice of drink and a croissant or another pastry of your choosing, The room and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Our room also had a balcony with a great view of the landscape of the city of Pisa. I have visited Italy two times and stayed at 5 different hotels and by far this has been the best experience. If you are coming to the Pisa stay at this place. It is the best!!!!
