Central hotel with free breakfast

This hotel is very close to the train station and very central to the walls. The staff were particularly lovely. The hotel could do with some updating. The breakfast was varied but the doughnuts were a bit stale. I particularly enjoyed sweets at breakfast. The shower was small and we kept knocking it off, also the shower needed updating. Room was a large size and bed massive an clean.

A Nice Stay Near the Lucca Train Station

If you are arriving/departing by train (Lucca) this is an excellent location as Hotel Rex is a couple of minutes walk away. The hotel is also very close to the city's renaissance walls. The hotel has whimsical decorations, a place for children to play, and a good breakfast. A table outside of our room had biscuits on it. I'm pretty sure other rooms had the same treat. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Outside the property was road construction, but it was not noisy.

Old fashioned, quirky hotel.

Extremely dated hotel. Shocked on first arrival as used to more modern hotels but it grew on us with its old fashioned quirkiness. Breakfast was very basic continental. Great location for the station and the centre of Lucca. Initial check in wasn’t particularly friendly but at other times staff welcoming and helpful.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Location is good. Just right outside train station and 5minutes walk to the walls. Rooms a bit dated but good size and functional with a mini fridge. Shower was fine and room keeping did a good job each day. Breakfast was average but think it was free so can’t complain. Bread, hard boiled eggs, selection of pasties and selection of cereals. Air con broke in our room so we’re moved room immediately. Staff were very good and did their best to help us get to Florence as train strike and no buses on a Sunday
