ROYAL VICTORIA HOTEL ^{* * *}

Also meiner Meinung gehört vieles verändert!!Das damit verdiente Geld kommt anscheinend nicht den Hotel zu gute sondern....Man wird jeden Morgen um 6 Uhr 7 Uhr geweckt von der Putzfrau was eine absolute Katastrophe ist der Schlaf ist mir extrem wichtig!Und was auch eine Katastrophe ist, es gibt im Bad nur lauwarmes Wasser und manchmal ist es einfach nur eiskalt!!!!!!!!Die Zimmer waren schmutzig und schlechte Gerüche waren leider auch vorhanden vermutlich wegen dem Schimmel!!es ist unmöglich bei diesem Lärm zu schlafen hütet euch von diesem Hotel es ist nicht Royal wie der Name verspricht!!!Die Einrichtung war auch teilweise defekt und ordentliche und saubere Zimmer gab es leider auch nicht habe das Zimmer auch gewechselt aber die Problematik war dennoch die selbe!!!!Danke an das Hotel das ihr meinen Urlaub versaut habt!!!!!!

Venu un week-end, 3 jours 2 nuits.signale des le premier jour pas d'eau chaude, problème non réglé à notre départ.
Pas de chauffage, allumé que le soir.
Sinon bon emplacement, proche de l'aéroport et de la tour de Pise.

Hotel ottimo per un tuffo nel passato. Accoglienza eccezionale

Hôtel très bien placé pour découvrir Pise à pied. Petit déjeuner complet. Très grandes chambres très propres.

The oldest hotel in Pisa, so it is claimed. It has a great location and tremendous staff. Sad that their level of professionalism is not supported by the infrastructure.
Reception was good. We had booked a Classic Double with river view, the description saying that it had air-conditioning. Well it did have an air-con unit.....but it didn't work. Nor did the heating. The window was single glazed and in early March, it isn't very warm.
On entering the room there was a small unlit vestibule so it was difficult to see where we were going. The room was large, very large! Lit by two bulbs which seemed lost in their large metal pendular light fittings.
On the ceiling near the window was what looked like the signs of a previous leak. There were some old metal frames sticking out above the window that seemed to have no purpose and just detracted from the ambience.
The furnishings were nice antiques in need of a little TLC and maybe some polish but for some reason a number of drawers were locked.
There were two bedside tables with bedside lights and the bed seemed comfortable.
The window did indeed overlook the river but it also became obvious that the window sill was probably rotten.
The en-suite bathroom was dim. The light over the sink did not work. The plug for the bath fitted poorly resulting in the bath emptying slowly. All the piping was exposed and was generally rather ugly. A lick of paint wouldn't have gone amiss!
Shortly after arrival a heavy rains shower started. Water poured in to the room through the window that was closed as best we could, but clearly the frame was well past functioning in the way it should.
With this litany of horrors we approached reception and were quickly moved to another room. This was much nicer and much grander and more importantly the window kept out the weather. However the light over the sink in the bathroom once again did not work. (Does nobody check these things?)
Overall this is a very faded beauty trading on its history but in serious need of major investment. While the ambience could be improved with some judicious painting, things such as the windows, electrics and air-conditioning units will require a lot of time and money, but until this happens this place is on a downward spiral.
