This was a disappointing end to our holiday in Italy. We found small pieces of broken glass on the tiled floor of our bedroom and even after we reported this to the desk, we still found more the next day.The hotel lobby and stairs were not particularly clean. At breakfast they ran out of bread rolls and boiled eggs before... more

We did an overnight stop here on our way back from Southern Italy. The hotel is ideally located for visiting the sights of Lucca as it is just outside the walls. However, our room was dark and dismal and had dirty marks all over the walls. The air conditioning did not work properly and the room ingenerla left a lot... more

Hotel Rex is a quiet, clean hotel in a most convenient location. We (couple in our early 60s) arrived in and left Lucca by train (great connections to Pisa and Florence) and the hotel is literally across the street from the station on a quiet piazza. Since we were going to 4 cities in 9 days, my husband and I... more

Let me mention the good things about this hotel... The staff was VERY helpful and friendly. The breakfast was pretty good - slightly better than most. The location from the train station is right next door and you cross the street and there is the walled town of Lucca. Would have been perfect, except the beds were unbelieveably poor for... more

We stayed at the Rex Hotel Lucca in October 2005. Situated just outside the ancient town walls, the hotel is very near the train station. The road near the hotel can be noisy if the window is left open but the double glazing stops this. The hotel is very clean and the rooms very well equipped. The breakfasts are a... more

Stayed 3 nights and had no complaints. Its in a good position next to the railway station ( but noise is not a problem) and a short 4 minute walk into the city - Lucca is a wonderful place. Rooms clean and a good size with aircon.We would happily stay there again. more

I really liked this hotel, the rooms are nice and cool (good air conditioning). Lucca is a really nice city to explore with plenty of small shops and cafes / restaurants. The receptionist at the hotel is very friendly and can recommend places to visit in the area. The only problem can be parking, the hotel has a couple of... more

The Hotel Rex is about 100 yards from the train station (we took the local train from Florence) a short walk from the town center. If you have baggage, proximity to the train station is a real advantage. If light baggage, suggest staying in the town. The rooms at the Rex are typical European, small but OK if you don't... more

We stayed here in October 2004. The hotel is directly across from the train station and very close to the main city - 5 minutes walk or less. Rooms were beautifully furnished with a full bath for us. Only problem for us was we forgot that the breakfast was extra. Expect to pay 10 euro each for it if you... more
