Our travel agent booked this hotel for us, and if I ever return to Lucca I would definitely stay here again. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. It was very quiet as well. Mario and his son are great hosts and very friendly. The breakfast that was laid out every morning was good as well.
We fell in love with Lucca (in part) due to our stay at this wonderful hotel! We arrived by car and were attended to promptly- luggage removed & car taken away for parking. Our room was available prior to the check in time and it was both spacious and clean. What made our stay was how pleasant and accommodating the family was (who owns the hotel) during our stay. We were in Italy and had two of our favorite meals in Lucca - both restaurants were recommend. The bike ride on the city wall was so much fun - bike shop recommended was close/convenient. The hotel location was perfect and the shopping was superb. The Puccini concert was one of the most memorable nights we had in all of Italy - cannot be missed! Overall, our stay was amazing and Lucca was our favorite (all three of us) city on our 12 day tour of Italy. A huge THANK YOU to the Alexander family!
We stayed here in November 2017 for 2 nights, and it was lovely. The hotel was easy to find and within walking distance to everything. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was a comfortable suite, with views of the rooftops of Lucca. This hotel is charming, and breakfast in the morning was quite good. I wished we could have stayed longer! Many thanks to the excellent staff for being so helpful. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Lucca.
It is located near the court and close to the amphiteatre. Close to most of the tourist attractions. Very friendly and helpful people at the reception desk. Good breakfast with varity of pastry, fruits, ham and cheese, etc. Espesially good croissant which was a bit smaller in size, but it was so good and crispy. It was melting in the mouth. Each evening on returning to the hotel, I asked some tea. They provided me of a tray with teaport which I have enjoyed a lot and it made me feel home. It gave me a place to remember and return to. I have enjoyed a good stay and hospitality from all of people at the hotel. Looking forward to visiting the hotel palazzo Aleksander again one day.
Lucca has, for twenty-five years, been closely akin to Oz. Thought we were familiar with all the delights and enchantments, but we've met a new Wizard! His name is Mario and the Palazzo Alexander is the venue in which he works his magic (along with his son, Gabriele, and an amazing staff). We were a finicky group of four with all manner of special requests, quirks and needy "requirements". (Balconies, rooms near the lift, calls for transportation, multiple coffee demands!) Royalty could have been treated no better. Everything (Everything!) was fantastic. The rooms were splendid, the common areas elegant and charming, the breakfast a pure joy. This is an owner who is present and making certain that, unlike the Wizard of Oz, ALL that goes on behind the curtain - and in front of it - is just very close to perfection. Thank you so very much for a truly memorable visit. Cannot wait to plan a return visit.
This is a lovely, welcoming, quaint hotel with beautiful architecture and artwork. The family is responsive to all your needs and provides great advice and a warm welcome. We love Lucca, and this added to our enjoyment. The rooms are spacious (with opera names and accents), the breakfast is plentiful, and the location makes it easy to enjoy the city.
This was my second time staying at the Hotel Palazzo Alexander having stayed there last year and thinking that the hotel was fabulous. As good as it was last time it eclipsed my memories. The hotel is absolutely outstanding. From the moment one checks in you feel the warmth of the friendly and accommodating staff. They provide you with helpful information, assist you with parking and do everything in their power to make sure your stay is perfect. This impeccably decorated albergo''s rooms are brilliantly furnished and the mattresses are incredibly comfortable. The bathrooms are lovely and the WIFI connection is good. The Palazzo Alexander's American breakfast, which is included with the price of the room, is superb and the service fantastic. When you add the hotel's perfect location in Lucca, there is nothing not to like except for the fact that you have to return home. The hotel combines old world charm and service with modern day luxury - a rare combination in today's Italy.
My husband and I have just returned from Italy where for 9 days we had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Palazzo Alexander. The hotel and the staff are top notch and each of them added immeasurably to the ease and pleasure of our trip. From the moment we arrived we were greeted warmly and tended to very well. The hotel owner, Mario, is a distinguished, caring man who along with his son Gabriele have a jewel of a hotel within the walls of Lucca. Each and every one of the staff with whom we interacted was friendly, courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. Mario gave us the most wonderful tips for driving tours. We had 3 separate day excursions plotted out for us by Mario and they were 3 of the best days we had of non-touristy sight-seeing. During the day trip up the coast that Mario recommended we got the added and unexpected bonus of running into Andrea Boccelli and a companion riding horses on the beach. Mario couldn't have known this would happen but because I am a huge Bocelli fan, this was such a treat. The room we stayed in was lovely (although I learned too late that there are rooms with balconies which we did not have...next time!) Right around the corner from the hotel there is a large parking field behind a locked gate (you'd never know it was there) so if you have a car, there is an easy place to park it (and you want this in Lucca if you have a car!...the last hotel we stayed at a few years ago in Lucca had parking in a teeny tiny garage that was very difficult to get the car in and out of). The rooms are furnished very nicely and everything is neat and clean. The showers are nice and hot and have excellent water pressure. The housekeepers are amazing...we loved Cristina in particular! The windows in the rooms have shutters (as many hotels and homes do in Italy) and when closed they kept the street noise to a minimum and kept the room nice and dark at night. My husband and I are both very light sleepers but slept so soundly here. It was such a pleasure to wake up well rested. The breakfast in the morning is an added bonus. We would get up early, head down to the dining area and fill up on delicious food, coffee and juice before heading out for the day. A tip we can give you as an aside, is that if you plan to bring a car (and you should consider it because as lovely as life is within the walls of Lucca there is so much else to see in the surrounding areas) please buy a GPS with European maps and bring it with you. We ended up buying one in Lucca...the road signs particularly off the autostrada are not great. The GPS was a life-saver. As you can tell, we highly recommend this hotel. Tell Mario we said hi when you go! :-)
We love this place and Mario as well. The breakfast is wonderful and wonderfully served. The room is very nice and there is an elevator! We stayed here 10 days with a Road Scholar tour and enjoyed it very much. In fact, we were able to send out our laundry and they took care of it.
On arrival at this quaint historical hotel we were greeted warmly by Mario, the owner. He escorted us to our room and carried my suitcase to the 4th floor. When he opened the door, we walked into a large room with antique wood floors and a marble bathroom. The furniture is in traditional Italian style with a large comfortable bed and pillows. The windows open and overlook the town roofs ( which is beautiful) Free wifi in the entire hotel. A buffet breakfast, which includes fresh fruit, bacon and scrambled eggs, cereals, yoghurt and a variety of breads. Lucca Cathedral and Guinigi Tower are both just a 10-minute walk away. Mario and his staff are extremely polite and helpful. I honestly have no hesitation in recommending this amazing, beautiful, well located hotel.
