    The shower was semi warm and the rose didn't stay in place. Whilst there was breakfast in the price the necessary items weren't always available at the time agreed. A bit better organisation would easily fix that. All in all though the breakfast was adequate.

    It's location. Friendly owner. Would definitely stay there again.

    it was older, nothing like the pictures, our room was off the kitchen / check in room and at night the night life outside the window went until 2:00am and sleeping was impossible without earplugs and listening to white noise. Breakfast was not desirable

    It's only ten minutes by foot from the train station. It's located just inside the city walls. The owner is a very pleasant gentleman.

    The room was clean and presentable, fantastic location and felt safe. Very thankful for the fan in the room as it was hot! Best of all was Claudio the owner, who was lovely, he was attentive and really helped us out when we needed to stay 2 more nights at short notice. He went above and beyond to help us even find train times to our next stop. We were upset to leave! But can’t wait to return!

    The location was great but everything else was very poor. I would not go here again.

    • Double or Twin Room with Private External Bathroom

    It was non-staffed, no air conditioning, poorly lit, in an alley with drunken yelling people until 4am. I didn't feel particularly safe. There was no personal interaction. I just got a text giving me instructions on how to find a hidden key (which took me a little while). There were no fans and so it was just unbearably hot. The windows are old and don't shut. I was happy I eventually found the place in a building with many apartments and that there were at least 3 locked doors between me and the outside world. The person said that I should get breakfast somewhere else even though I paid for the breakfast there. He said he would give me another hotel recommendation but he never did. All communications were through Whatsapp. He was pleasant but I have no idea who he was and never met him. I paid an extra 20 Euro for the breakfast but there was just a room with 3 or 4 small packaged pastries and what looked like a dormitory of old, used water bottles and a station to make your own coffee. The pictures and reviews made this place look decent but it cost me almost 200 euro and it was barely a 2 star hotel. Very scary and not super clean.

    The location was actually very perfect for what I was doing in Lucca. That was the good thing about the property.

    checking in was not so easy . there are 2 stairs to go up which was kinda ok - however the ‘private’ bathroom was down the hallway from the room . The room was fine -2single beds pushed together to make a double bed - the breakfast was set up but the bread and coffee was not there or perhaps in another spot -I just went to a cafe down on the street for a coffee . I didn’t see one person until just as I was checking out and he was on the phone and waved as I went out the door . The staff are distant and remote .it’s all done via what’s app messaging . It would help and be much better if someone was there to greet you when you got there .

    it wasn’t too far a walk from the train station

    Did not eat the breakfast. Rotten fruit, cereal but no milk or bowls, toaster but no bread or condiments and dry croissants. Beds were uncomfortable. Shower leaked all over the floor. Broken glass on floor. Did not look like photos on line at all.

    The location was good. Inside the wall and close to the train station.

    Very noisy. Breakfast actually non-existent. Couldn't lock door from the inside. Clean enough but all the fittings were 'tired' - toilet seat was broken, shutters only shut when trailing TV aerial was removed, double bed was 2 singles pushed together, cup so badly cracked it leaked.

    Location OK. Shower OK.

    The private bathroom is not inside room, so this is less comfortable and should be clearly described at booking stage. Breakfast and common kitchen coul;d be easly improved to be nice but is quite poor.

    Perfect location and nice owner.
