In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Free parking is a real bonus — On-site parking at no extra cost makes it easier for guests arriving by car, a practical advantage in a city where parking can be scarce.
  • Superb location near the station and old town — Guests consistently praise the short walk to both the train station and the historic centre, which makes arrival and sightseeing straightforward.
  • Clean, well-equipped rooms — Rooms come with tea and coffee, an electric kettle, an iron, climate control and a flat-screen TV, and are regularly described as spotless and comfortable.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Several guests single out the staff, especially the on-site host, for being welcoming and informative, even when working alone.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Overall rating is middling — The property's cumulative rating of 5.3 out of 10 and its low position in Pisa's ranking suggest a mixed experience, with weaker scores in dining, facilities and value.
  • Bathrooms can feel dated — At least one guest noted that the bathroom was old and in need of updating, though it was still usable.
  • Limited room choice — Only one room type is listed — a private bathroom double with a king bed — so travellers needing twins, family rooms or suites have no options here.
  • No pets and no on-site dining — Pets are not allowed, and the low dining score suggests there's no restaurant worth relying on, so guests should plan meals elsewhere.

“Perfect location, very close to the old centre and the station, and the double room came with an electric kettle, climate control and an iron.”

5.3Verified guest

“Lovely staff and clean, spacious bedrooms. The bathroom was a bit dated and could do with updating, but it was still fine. The spot was handy, close to the station and easy to find. The person we spoke with was helpful, arrived quickly for check-in and showed us the room — even how to close the front door properly. Beds were comfy and the shower worked better than expected. A good stay overall at Five Keys.”
