I stayed here 2 nights in March 2013 and was very happy with my choice of accomodation. My dorm bed was very comfortable, extra blankets were provided without asking and the place was clean and tidy. Lots of common area space, lockable storage in the rooms and Marco on the front desk was fabulous. Don't hesitate to stay here but... More

Lucca is a wonderful town, full of old buildings, Roman relics, tourists, locals, and lots of surprises. Highly recommended. I was at the Ostello Frediano in October with a traveling companion for six nights. We had the Puccini suite on the second level, which is two separate bedrooms, a separate bathroom and a large entry hall. Lots of room for... More

For the price, it is not a bad place to stay. It is very basic, which was to be expected, however, the bathrooms were not "sparkling" as many had described. I kept finding traces of previous guests (used dental floss and certain hairs in the bathroom). I gave it an "average" rating, because for what it is (a hostel with... More

large old building and grounds now serving as a Hostel. I had a private single room with bath. Clean but obviously old and tired, reasonably well maintained. The location was EXCELLENT. Just inside the walls of Lucca yet provided parking. Two blocks from the main drag. Price was very fair. Bed was sort of thin and hard - but that's... More

I stayed in the Ostello San Frediano in late August. Booked about 1 week before arriving. It was very easy to find and map directions given helped a lot! Staff were very friendly and helpful. No air-con but even though it was hot, this wasn't a problem.Room was fine, had key locker (which was a good size) and a small... More

Wonderful historic building to stay in. No air-con. It was high 30's c when we visited so pretty warm. Great location. Close to everything. Staff were exceptional with help and assistance in all matters. 10/10 for that. Highly recommended as a top place to stay for anyone. Breakfast room had the X factor due to the owner... a great Italian... More

Lucca is slightly off the tourist track of Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples. Our decision to visit the medieval walled town was designed to allow us to see a different side of Italy. The Youth Hostel, Ostello San Frediano was a delightful place to stay. It is within the city walls, close to the old town and in walking... More

We stayed here for two nights and thought we had booked a double room - but we got a three-bed one for the same price (with toilet, shower, and a total of three hand basins). We had the only room on the ground floor and were occasionally disturbed by loud groups (hostel guests) of students/kids hanging out outside our window... More

As a father, wife and daughter we stayed in a 4 bed room that we had to ourselves in this historic ex monastry in LUCCA. We were back in Lucca this time for a night only on our way back to Rome airport. Although we had to share bathroom and toilet with a number of other rooms, room and linen... More
