Excellent 3 star hotel

Best equipped 3 star hotel on our 14 day Italy trip. Kettle and tea in the room, biscuits available. Very good breakfast choice and 2 minute walk from the train station and 5 minutes from the amazing city walks. The evening duty person recommended a very local trattoria which was busy with locals and had great food

Friendly staff, convenient location and cute hotel

The location right next to the train station is so convenient (couple blocks to the walled portion of the city). The staff appears to be a family, super cute and helpful. Rooms are pretty large. The beds were maybe not the best but we'd totally stay here again given all the other benefits. Breakfast was delicious and varied with many options. This hotel is a gem!

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.
