Amazing location!

Review of Hotel Rex
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Sept 2017via mobile
We used Lucca as a base to visit Pisa and Florence. The location of the hotel was amazing, 10 second walk from the train station but also only about 5 mins walk from the centre of Lucca. The rooms were very clean, a little dated with the decoration but you don't mind so much if everything is clean! Breakfast was ok, the usual cereals, meat, cheese bread. Enough for a quick bite to eat before heading out.

It was our honeymoon and after our first day we came back to a tray of chocolates and prosecco and other little treats it was so cute!

They staff were really friendly and helpful too! Would recommend this Hotel!

Hotel has a great location to the train station and 200 yards to a south opening to the walled city. Staff at the desk, bar, breakfast, and chamber maid service were all friendly and accommodating. English is spoken as needed in all areas of the hotel. Excellent European style breakfast each morning. Gelato store next door for that after dinner snack. After a few hours of walking, the narrow streets become more recognizable. The Puccini operas each night are most enjoyable. (I attended 3 performances). Towers, churches, great restaurants, and good food.

My husband and I were treated so kindly by everyone at Hotel Rex . Truly A+ customer service and attention to detail .
Our room was immaculate and very peaceful and comfortable. We looked forward to a relaxed and well catered breakfast every morning .
Just a stroll away from the city walls and just across from the train station .
We would like to return to this lovely hotel

Room tip: Just request what sort of room you prefer and the hotel will sort it for you -

This is a good hotel, located close to the station and within easy walking distance of the town. There were 4 of us, all adults and had 2 rooms.The staff are all very helpful. There was a good range on offer for breakfast. We used it as a base not only to see Lucca but visited Pisa, Florence and the seaside. We got directed to a nice local restaurant on our first night and there is a good gelato shop next door

What wonderful hotel! A short walk away from the wall and the old town...approx 200 metres. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We stayed 5 nights. Huge breakfast, beautiful clean rooms. Couldn't have asked for more Henriette.

Room tip: Ask for rooms on the other side of the railway station and it will be nice and quiet.

Reviewed 10 July 2017 via mobile

The staff are really friendly so feel a little bad for leaving a negative review but the hotel is so outdated it really needs some modernising. The hotel is classed as 3 star but having stayed at lots of 3 star hotels in the past, the facilities are more like a 2 star hotel at best.

On the positive:
- Really good location for exploring Lucca
-Parking free and just outside the hotel
-Friendly staff

Not so positive:
-Rooms and hotel very outdated and in need of deep clean
-Not provided with proper towels
-Shower that filled up with water due to blocked drains
-Cold water stopped in room when you turn a tap in the shower so can't flush toilet!
-Air Con very old and rattled like could stop working any minute
-Breakfast area very drap and so off putting to eat food

Overall not saying avoid but lower expectations about quality of the accommodation.
