Hey from Rocco

Member since May 2014 | 60,565 hits

After many years of experience in the hotel industry I decided to devote myself more directly
to my clients and I opened this facility a few steps from the airport,
to meet the needs of people who have a very early flight, in the morning and arrive late at night.

I am a simple and calm respectful and friendly person.

What guests say

Travelers consistently mention the excellent location of the property, which is very convenient for reaching the airport (and sometimes the train station) on foot—ideal for an overnight stay before a flight. Rooms are basic and sometimes dated but generally clean and adequate for short stops. Many reviews point out the very limited or absent breakfast, usually reduced to coffee and packaged pastries. Experiences with the host and management vary, with some finding them helpful and others more distant or unresponsive. Shared bathrooms are common; their cleanliness is generally acceptable, though some guests find them outdated. Overall, this accommodation is well-suited for brief stays focused on airport proximity and value for money, but it’s not recommended for travelers seeking higher-end comfort or amenities.

Cold accommodation, with heating that turns on at 8:00 PM. The owner is off-site and is not prompt when issues need to be resolved.

The only good part was being near the airport to catch an early flight. Everything else was below ok. This room does not have AC, just has a fan which is very noisy so we preferred to keep it off and try to sleep though it was very warm but could not sleep at all.

The bed and breakfast is well organized. The shared bathroom is tidy and clean. Silence is respected and it is very comfortable. The manager is a helpful person and the management is all online. A great convenience. The breakfast is simple but decent and the coffee is good. The clean sheets and the bathroom towels that you find in the room are of good fabric. My personal experience was more than excellent. The strategic location with the airport means that you can be there in no time.

The hotel is close to the airport, about a 5-minute walk away. The central station is not far either, about a 15-minute walk. The price is fair. The room was in good condition and the bathroom was good as well. The only drawback is that the bathroom was shared with other rooms and voices from other rooms could be heard. But for us, it was very convenient. Thank you Rocco.

The only good feature about this property was that it is five minutes' walk from the airport, however I will never stay at this property again. The bed was very low and uncomfortable and was more like a camp bed. It was a good job that I am quite a small person. The pillow was rock hard and the floor was wet which meant that the bed cover became more and more damp through the night. I never saw the host although he had texted me on the day to find out what time I was arriving, and it felt more like a doss house than a B and B - I didn't feel completely safe. The breakfast in the morning is a small chocolate/vanilla cake in a plastic wrapper - I didn't even bother with it.

If you have to catch an early morning flight, this accommodation is great. It is clean and has a shared bathroom. There is no air conditioning, but it has a quiet fan, wonderful. As in all of Italy, there is no elevator. You have coffee and coffee maker, tea, sugar, a microwave and fridge at your disposal, as well as glasses. All this makes the accommodation great and helps you with the early wake-up call.

Location close to the airport. The train took only about 5 minutes to reach the departure hall. Otherwise, there's nothing to give good ratings to. The room shown may be present in the property, but it doesn't resemble the double room we had. A creaking fan on the ceiling that we didn't dare leave on, fearing it might fall. Two very worn out bathrooms to share with the other guests.

Theoretical bed and breakfast, in reality you pay very little but you don't even have a minimum of breakfast, done outside the structure. Payment in advance of 50% and balance on arrival. Heating on from 9 pm to midnight, lucky that the house is quite warm. We didn't even meet the manager because he was not present. I will return to Pisa but certainly not here.

Rude manager, you cannot scold someone over the phone just because they don't answer when you call, maybe one has a particular job and can't answer you. When I read the email message and called him, he was very aggressive and annoyed. My goodness, if you want to do business, you're making a big mistake with your attitude! I had said I would arrive by 7:30 pm at the station, I tried to call him for 30 minutes while reaching the structure in the meantime, and waiting outside in the cold. Impatient, I tried to ring the bell and a guest opened the door for me. There were rooms prepared with keys hanging and invoices and receipts with sensitive data in plain view for everyone. Long live privacy. Soggy towels thrown here and there in the bathrooms and rooms that smelled musty. Old structure with wooden doors where you hear any little noise. A banging of doors at all hours, especially during the night! The structure's door was left wide open during the night, anyone could have come in. Upon my arrival, at the same time as a couple, the manager didn't even introduce himself! We had to manage on our own. Dirty cups and glasses left everywhere. In the room, you find your meager breakfast, a coffee pod, I mean one, and a plumcake. That's it! Cold rooms and 2 bathrooms for 5 rooms, which are also cold and dark. Ideal structure for those who want to waste money, not sleep, and encounter rude managers.

We spent a few hours in this room before catching the plane. It's a shame we had to pay an extra 10 euros for a check-in after midnight (even though we called them in the evening). The cleanliness is okay, the location is ideal (very close to the airport), the bed quality is lacking. A bit pricey for the service offered. We did not enjoy the breakfast.

Arriving late in the evening and having to leave the next day, I opted for a simple and easily accessible solution, but despite the minimalism, my stay was terrible. The welcome was terrible, I had booked a single room and was given a room behind the reception in front of the entrance (this makes me think that it is normally used by staff, also given the presence of a storage room, and that it was assigned to me suddenly when I had booked well in advance). It was impossible to sleep on the mattresses. The breakfast corner, if it can be called that, was dirty and close to the bathrooms. One of the two jugs had a black bottom. Despite being cheap, such treatment is not expected. I would not recommend it.

stayed from 05/03/2018 to 05/04/2018

The structure, although I can accept the standard, looking at the prices, did not correspond to the booked service! I booked a room with a double bed, I found myself in a room with two single beds. I immediately complained to the staff who replied that they had no other choices. I called the manager who rudely replied to me "if you like it, take it, otherwise you can also leave, the staff will refund you". Rudeness and controversy in this case are NOT acceptable. I do not think I can use this B&B anymore.

Guesthouse convenient to reach the airport, the rooms are basic and should be renovated. The breakfast is poor and of low quality, perhaps it was better not to have it. I found the shared bathrooms clean, but it also depends on the courtesy of other guests, however they should be redone (old and outdated). It is located on a very busy street and is not a quiet place. However, for the price, it is perfect for a night stay to be close to the airport. The owner was kind.
