Stayed one night on business. Big room on 2nd floor, clean, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, good shower. Breakfast selection adequate. Very close to city centre. Secure parking on request is free. Run by mother and daughter team.

My sister and I stayed here for one night before we headed off to Umbria for more charming stays on agriturismos. That being said, I felt like this place was a steal. Within the walls of the city, with a spacious room and bathroom, pretty good breakfast, and even a private garage to park our car in without an extra... More

This was our first stop on our Italian vacation. The room was quite large and we were able to find parking in a lot nearby, which was nice. The hotel was easy to find and is inside the city walls, another plus. The bathroom was very large, but the tub/shower was a little dirty. The staff, though very nice, was... More

Great accommodation 5 minutes walk from centre of town and 2 minutes to nearest restaurants. We were in room on top floor( 3 ) at front of the building overlooking a private park, the room and on-suite were very spacious with plenty of room to move around. The staff are friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfast is excellent with... More

Four of us decided to use Lucca as a homebase for some train trips through Tuscany and the coast. Lucca proved an excellent base but we do regret not allowing ourselves more time to see this unique and historical city (also home of Puccini), as it continued to "grow on us". Residence Santa Chiara was a brisk 15 minute walk... More

We specifically booked this Residence as it said that it had a covered area open all year for breakfast. However, we were told that all residents had breakfast served in their bedrooms until April. Perching on the side on the bed to eat wasn't fun. Breakfast was OK but the 2nd day was late and rushed - no butter and... More

Booked this through laterooms.com for just 55 euro for 1 night. (you pay at the hotel and they offer a 5% discount for cash making it even cheaper). I'd read the other reviews here and they did put me off but I decided to risk and I am glad I did. We received a very friendly welcome and were showed... More

Second time in Lucca and we shan't be staying here if ew go back a third! About a 15 min walk from the train station and 25 from bus (as long as you know where you're going! - It's easy to get lost in Lucca's streets so pick up a map at the station) The staff emailed me upon booking... More

Struggling to find last minute accommodation within the walls of Lucca, we ended up booking the Santa Chiara. Now we know why they still had vacancies. On initial impression, the good sized room and bathroom didn't seem that bad. Closer inpection revealed a very hard bed, the room was so dimly lit you could hardly read at night and very... More
