I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the old town and right next to the train station. The rooms are clean and comfy, overlooking the City Walls with a unique split-level family room setup. The service was top-notch, from the pleasant staff to the engaging boss who added a special touch every day. The dining experience was average with some room for improvement, but the overall value for money was great.

I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The rooms had that old-fashioned charm but were also comfortable and perfectly functional. The friendly service made my experience even better, although some staff members seemed a bit touchy. The location couldn't have been more convenient, right next to the train station and a stone's throw from the walled city, despite the unsightly graffiti in the nearby tunnel. The dining options were varied and satisfying, complementing the overall wonderful stay.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a romantic style, well-kept, and spacious, providing a cozy haven. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who went the extra mile to make my stay memorable. The location is unbeatable, right near the train station and a stone's throw away from the captivating walled city of Lucca. While the dining experience was enjoyable, a little touch-up with fresher bread and more fruit would have been perfect.

The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff ensuring a pleasant experience. The location couldn't be better, being conveniently close to the railway station and the town center. However, the dining experience needed improvement due to staff shortages and small towels. Overall, the value for money was good, especially considering the proximity to key attractions and the thoughtful gestures from the staff.
