Fodor's Review:
In a pleasant palazzo facing the Arno, a 10-minute walk from the Campo dei Miracoli, this comfortably furnished hotel has been in the Piegaja family since 1837. That continuity may help explain why such notables as Charles Dickens and Charles Lindbergh enjoyed staying here. Antiques and reproductions are in the lobby and in some rooms, whose style ranges from the 1800s, complete with frescoes, to the 1920s. Ask for a room in the charming old tower. There's also a pretty rooftop garden where you can order cocktails. Pros: Friendly staff, free use of a Lancia that seats five—a great vehicle for tooling around Pisa. Cons: Rooms vary significantly in size; all are a little worn.

If it's character you are after and not slick mod cons, the Royal Victoria is the place. Excellent view over the river, helpful staff,
