A Nice Stay Near the Lucca Train Station
If you are arriving/departing by train (Lucca) this is an excellent location as Hotel Rex is a couple of minutes walk away. The hotel is also very close to the city's renaissance walls. The hotel has whimsical decorations, a place for children to play, and a good breakfast. A table outside of our room had biscuits on it. I'm pretty sure other rooms had the same treat. Staff were pleasant and friendly.
Outside the property was road construction, but it was not noisy.

Old fashioned, quirky hotel.
Extremely dated hotel. Shocked on first arrival as used to more modern hotels but it grew on us with its old fashioned quirkiness.
Breakfast was very basic continental.
Great location for the station and the centre of Lucca.
Initial check in wasn’t particularly friendly but at other times staff welcoming and helpful.

Hotel Rex's staff are friendly and helpful. There is construction right out front so the view wasnt great but they didn't start working til 9ish so it was not disruptive. Location is close to entrance to Lucca and they are working on making it more pedestrian friendly.

Nice convenient hotel
Nice hotel beside the railway station and a few minutes from the centre of Lucca. So a superb location for a couple of days visit. Friendly staff, clean room and satisfactory breakfast.
Room small but adequate.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Location is good. Just right outside train station and 5minutes walk to the walls.
Rooms a bit dated but good size and functional with a mini fridge. Shower was fine and room keeping did a good job each day. Breakfast was average but think it was free so can’t complain. Bread, hard boiled eggs, selection of pasties and selection of cereals. Air con broke in our room so we’re moved room immediately. Staff were very good and did their best to help us get to Florence as train strike and no buses on a Sunday

5 minutes walk from the railway station in Lucca and only 5 minutes walk to the walled city.
The Rex hotel was very clean and comfortable throughout, the staff were friendly and attentive to our needs, as my wife is disabled.
The continental breakfast was adequate with no limit on eating.

A wonderful hotel. A perfect location, between the railway station and the town walls, only a couple of minutes walk from the cathedral. Sizeable, clean and well‐appointed rooms, a generous breakfast and incredibly welcoming at reception. Highly recommended.

Old world charm
Interesting hotel. Old world charm. Could use some updating. Next to the train station and easy access to the town. Good breakfast I’ve been in six hotel rooms on this trip and they all needed a fan.

The staff were very friendly. This hotel is just beside Lucca's train station and was convient if arriving by train. It is only a short walk to one of the city gates.
