5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

The hotel is very charming, much like a country bed and breakfast inn, with tastefully decorated guest rooms and public areas. It is very comfortable and relaxing with many in-room amenities that enhance the experience. The staff is friendly, gracious and helpful. A delicious breakfast is included and is served in a delightful room. The hotel is ideally located, a... More

I was very pleased with this hotel. The convenience to the Centrale Stazione was definitely a plus. The service was excellent and the breakfast more than satisfying. Our room was so charming overlooking the tiled roofs and mountains of Lucca. We had to leave Lucca very early in the morning to catch a train to Venice and the hospitality could... More

There is no Uffizi as Florence has or the wonderful Murano glass shops of Venice and it has no body parts of St. Catherine as Siena has, but it has the wonderful grandpa and his so very charming granddaughter ( and family staff that is Italian hospitality itself) who treated my wife and me as honored guests. We chatted with... More

Hotel Rex is a very good hotel located right outside the Lucca Stazione (if you don't see it, then you exited out the wrong side of the Stazione and you need to go back! Yes, we did that....) and right across the street from the medieval city of Lucca. How we got there: We took the train from Genoa (after... More

If you are traveling by train, you can’t beat the Hotel Rex for convenience, as it is in the same piazza as the station, which itself is located just outside the city wall. The rooms are clean, warm and surprisingly quiet, given the train and auto traffic nearby. Our room was adequate in size, though not spacious, with a comfortable... More

This is the fourth time we have used Hotel Rex - and for some reason they keep giving us the same room. It was as good and reliable as ever. The breakfasts were better than two years ago. Air conditioning was on even though it was October - as a response to the hot weather outside. Wish we could have... More

Stayed 3 nights in August. It was average. Neither good or bad. The good things: Friendly staff. Bicycles for free (as cycling on city walls is a great way to look at Lucca). Breakfast ok. Wifi free - but you dont get connection all time. I had to go down to reception to get new codes several times.Not so good:... More

We found the hotel when we were driving around and searched for a hotel. The personnel were very friendly and the reception clean and nice. The room was quite big with a matrimonial bed. Other furniture were a desk and two chairs. The bathroom was really nice and clean. In the morning we had breakfast in the breakfast room. It... More

Hotel Rex is located to the right when you exit the train station, with a 5 minute walk from the old Lucca walls. The hotel is clean, safe, and has a great breakfast. Our room had a double bed, the bathroom was large and clean. The bed was comfy and linens were clean. The hotel has an elevator. There is... More
