Location, location, location! Just inside the Santa Maria gate. The owners have taken a small space and made it everything you need. Outer and inner doors have codes, so no messing with keys. Staff was very helpful. Had restaurant suggestions at front desk. Great beds and pillows.

Perfect Place To Stay In Lucca

We had an amazing stay in Luca. Our room at “Inside the wall” was perfect! Easy to walk to everything in side the wall of Old city of Lucca. We can’t wait to come back.

Amazing room!

This is such a hidden gem! We stayed in a first floor room and it was decorated so cute! Super clean and loved the decor. Loved the location. It is a 20 min walk from the train station but we took a taxi. Unfortunately we weren’t able to use the air conditioning because there is an Italian law that hotel A/C units cannot run until May 1st (energy conservation and something to do with where Italy gets its electricity and the ongoing conflicts). Not the hotels fault, though! Absolutely lovely place and we’ll be back! (Would love an iron in the room)

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was very stylish and functional. Communication was good and check-in was easy. One small complaint, not the fault of property, is that it is situated next to a bakery which starts working very early. Probably not an issue with all suites. Once we figured out, went back to sleep.

Brief but comfortable stay in lovely Lucca

We stayed only one night during our day-and-a-half in Lucca. Wish it could have been longer! We had a wonderful experience in Lucca and staying at Inside the Wall. Rebecka was a friendly host and checked us in efficiently while engaging in warm conversation. Our room was lovely, and the location was convenient.

Worst “hotel” experience in a 7 week trip

This is not a hotel. You are only renting a room. It is a very small room. It is also quite noisy and you can hear people in other rooms very easily, and I don’t have very good hearing. It is basically self check in, This location offers no help or amenities. If you want to leave a bag either before check in or after check out you’re out of luck they won’t help you at all. We had better luck with the café down the street who generously let us leave a bag in a secure location for free. We found the owner/mgr to be rude and condescending.
