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.

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.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, located just across the road from the walled city of Lucca. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, offering plenty of space to relax. 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.
