The reviews all seem to be right: this is a simple, average Italian hotel. From the moment you step into the building, you are transported to another century (and, per the comments of my friend who traveled with me, to your "grandmothers spare bedroom"). The decor is dated, kitsch, almost nostalgic, and about what one could expect from a budget... More

Really friendly owners, very welcoming. Basic room but with everything you need. 5 mins walk into the walled part of the city so well situated. Supermarket close by so good if you are on a budget, we had a picnic lunches sat on the walls.

The Hotel Stipino was the least favorite hotel of our trip. The room had an off odor, and ashtrays were present on the bed stands (we always request non smokers). The room was small, the shower consisted of a depression in the floor with a drain between folding shower partitions. The first night, a group of drunks sitting outside our... More

Make sure u ask for a non smoking room. We had to suffer in a room that reeked of years of tobacco smoke. Staff were nice but were unable to move us. Location is ok, a short walk to the city wall.

Stayed here twice over the years and on the second time the owner remembered us and gave me a bottle of his family's wine as a goodbye present. Now what chain hotel would do that? It's about 5 mins walk from the old town walls and then a beautiful 10 min stroll to the centre. Thoroughly recommended.

Hotel is very clean and staff and owners are very helpfull and friendly. The breakfast is ok. Staying at this hotel is like being back 20 years as the place seems to need updating but apart from that it is ok if you don’t mind that.

When you're not in need of extraordinary luxury and just need a good place to sleep in a good old-fashioned bed this is the place to be. Very friendly staff, always with a smile, and including a good breakfast. As a bonus the hotel offers free parking space.

The staff in this hotel are super friendly and make you feel very welcome and at home. Room was spacious. Seperate breakfast is basic but wholesome and filling. The position is convenient if you do have a car, since the carpark is spacious and Lucca is quite compact so walking to restaurants is no prob and quite pleasant after a... More

This was a great value especially when you factor in the free parking, about a 20E per night saving. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk to the city gates and 2 minutes from a gigantic grocery store. The hotel staff was most excellent and there is a nice patio area. The rooms and bathrooms are immaculate. Unless you... More
