    friendly staff
    lack of wi-fi

    The staff were friendly and made us feel welcomed, which really

    Enhanced our stay. The location was perfect for visiting local attractions. The lack of Wi-Fi in our room was disappointing, made planning our sightseeing a bit challenging.

    Extensive breakfast with croissants and an espresso or cappucino which was fine, as example in the bar. Nice area, very central location adjacent to a beautiful square, the Church where the nightly Puccini concerts are held, and a superb restaurant next door👍

    Getting ready for my dream wedding was magical. The location was stunning, and the staff went out of their way to. The service was great, and I felt well taken care of. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone visiting Lucca!

    Best feature is its location in the old town. Breakfast was ok but would be better with some hot dishes (eggs omelettes etc0

    Reception area very quiet. No facilities such as gym, pool !

    fitness center

    will be returning here soon

    The location is prime, just steps away from bustling attractions. Our Aria Junior Suite had a bath, air conditioning, and a minibar. The fitness center was a nice touch for staying active. Breakfast on the lovely outdoor seating was nice, offering fresh pastries and fruit. Historic charm really adds to the vibe.

    Location. Breakfast was more than plentiful and was varied. Mini bar/fridge in room. TV. Towels changed every day. Plenty of heating and hot water. Big bathroom/toiletries provided. Excellent value for money. Don't be put off by the old decor/carpet in hallways etc - kind of quirky.

    This location is perfect. It is inside the City walls, within easy walking distance of the railway station for trains to Pisa, Viareggio, Florence and the Serchio Valley. It is ideally located for all features within the City, again easily reached on foot. The hotel is historic (built around 1500) and graceful, and quirky. There is also an interesting library on the ground floor, including historical and art books. The staff are excellent.

    The hotel is a little dated, and not all the rooms are spacious, but this does not detract its attraction. I think that a modest expenditure on brightening up the decor in the ground floor public rooms would be money well spent.
