The description says “In the heart of Lucca's historic center.” It is not but about a 15-20 minute walk from the start of the walled city. Not too far from the train. Location is ok but nothing charming about it. The front desk staff were very pleasant. The room could have had stronger air con but it was ok despite the 92 degree weather. The Wi-fi was incredibly slow. The room and bathroom are very small. Could have used more towels. The bed is very hard so not too comfortable. The hotel was ok but nothing special.
