First impression was it had a musty smell in the foyer but room was not as bad. Checkin was rushed. Staff were not accomodating or friendly and not helpful at all in fact could be rude, especially a staff member at the bar. Room was very spacious. Cleaning was rushed, beds not done and floor was always dirty. Location was good just within the walls and easy to get around. Breakfast was excellent. For the price you pay would expect better staff who are happy to share information of their city.

Older, but very well maintained hotel in a very old city. Has European charm, with hardwood floors. The beds aren’t particularly comfortable (very stiff). Bicycles are available from the hotel free of charge and is a wonderful way to sightsee the city day or night. I would recommend this hotel if you are with car, but make sure you reserve parking space before arrival.

Great historical hotel with spacious rooms and nice furnishings/design. The concierge was lovely and the breakfast was spectacular. I got a great deal on a large room and would definitely stay there again when I’m in Lucca. I also liked the outdoor patio where you can people walk and just relax. Close to the city center and about a 17 minute walk from the train station. Shoutout to Leonardo at the front desk who was a gem.

The San Luca Palace is an older period property within the walls of Lucca. In some places it looks a little tired, but is clean and comfortable. I liked the location, and it was very easy to walk from here into the walled town - the town is very picturesque with lots of dining options. The bed was absolutely huge - I think it was 2 doubles together. Our room had an alcove with a small settee, and was comfortable.

Very Disappointing

For what was supposed to be a 4 star hotel, it was very disappointing. The first morning when we went to have a shower the water was cold. We contacted reception and they said they would have to check that it was switched on. The internet was problematic. Every time we got back to the room and tried to access the internet we had to go through the login process again. The breakfast offering was good with a large range to choose from but sadly, if you weren't there in the first hour, it was not replenished and as a result the offer became quite small. We stayed in a hotel in Viareggio which ticked every box. This one did not.
