Where to sleep near the Tower of Pisa (but without a panoramic view)
Without a doubt, the hotels I have mentioned offer the best views of the Tower of Pisa. However, if there is no availability or if you are looking for other options in the heart of the city without a panoramic view, I list below the best hotels and B&Bs that I consider ideal for staying in downtown Pisa.
- Hotel Alessandro della Spina: located in the heart of Pisa, the three-star hotel offers quiet, clean rooms in the city center. It has a rating of 8.5 out of 10 on the Booking.com portal, and is one of the best hotels to stay at in Pisa.
