I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, with their antique furnishings and comfortable beds, captured the essence of yesteryear but were a bit worn and not as pristine as advertised. The service from the staff was exceptional and made me feel truly welcome, although some aspects of the dining fell short of expectations. The location, right on the river Arno and close to the city center, was convenient, but the actual dining experience and decor did not entirely match the expectations set by the pictures on the website.

The hotel provided a spacious, clean, and great place to hide from the heat and other tourists. The rooms were clean and appropriate, but there was some noise outside the room due to its proximity to the doors. The service was pleasing with kind advice and very helpful. The location was within walking distance to all desired places, offering a good experience, especially for those seeking atmosphere. The breakfast was good, with a buffet offering sweet and savory options, though lacking eggs. Overall, a fine stay at a well-located hotel.

The hotel was in a bit of a confusing layout as no one seemed to know where the buffet was held. The rooms were quite dated and dark, showing signs of wear over the years, with a weak shower. However, the stay was made comfortable thanks to the convenient location and the very friendly and informative staff.

The hotel's rooms were old-fashioned and in poor condition, with a broken toilet seat, loose tiles, and the need to adjust furniture for charging. However, the service was very helpful and smiley, although lacking communication about certain issues. The location was convenient for attractions and offered an amazing view of the river. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options and low-quality breakfast items.

The hotel offers stunning views over the river Arno from rooms facing the river with a balcony, providing a lovely experience. While the rooms could benefit from an upgrade, their views make up for it. The service is super friendly, albeit with a slight hiccup regarding early departure requests. The location is ideal on the Arno River, convenient for exploring Pisa. The dining experience is varied, with some minor hitches in availability. The historic ambience and convenient location make this hotel a great choice.

The hotel was very grand with plenty of space, but it was set up as a double although I had requested two singles. The rooms were quite noisy at night due to bars and road noise, which was a downside. The service was awesome initially, with extremely helpful and welcoming staff, but they showed little interest when we pointed out the issues. The location was perfect, a short walk from the Central train station and key attractions like the Leaning Tower and the cathedral. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a simple buffet style and good coffee, but it was considered the worst by one guest. The facilities were well-maintained, catering to basic needs.

Staying at the Royal Victoria Hotel from 5 June 2019 until 9 June 2019 was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious with a balcony overlooking the river, adorned with old antique furniture, and plenty of individual dining and sitting rooms. The service was always friendly and helpful, thanks to the modern equipment and the fantastic location of the hotel. The central location made it convenient to explore all of Pisa's attractions, though it could get a bit noisy from riverside parties at night. The dining experience, although not within the hotel, was a bit lacking. Overall, a charming stay with great historical ambiance, but the noise level could be a downside at times.

Staying at this hotel was like stepping into history in the oldest part of the tower dating back to the 12th century. The rooms were incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean, exactly as depicted in the pictures. The service was exceptional with super-friendly and helpful staff who were very knowledgeable about the area. The location overlooking the Arno River was perfect for exploring Pisa and beyond. Though the dining experience could use some improvement, the overall experience was delightful.
