Location perfect and room rustic and quirky which was lovely. Air con worked well and really comfy bed. Unfortunately we had a leak into our bathroom coming from room above and you could see this was an ongoing problem from the patch on ceiling and wall. Didn't really detract from our stay though but definitely needs attention. Would stay here again.

Rooms in this boutique property are managed remotely so no personal contact with any staff during our stay.
Room was clean and comfortable. Property is located within the city walks but outside of the ZTL and there are several parking options (although quite expensive). Lucca is well worth visiting with plenty of sights to see and lots of dining options.

Charming hosts and charming accommodations Located on the north-north-east side…inside the wall. Decor is pottery barn meets antique finds and best of ikea. Hosts are new owners, and maybe why so few reviews. Would definitely stay here again. Nice spot for coffee/breakfast/snacks just steps away.

This hotel room was great! I loved the features and location great too!

There is a cafe though under it and both nights were soooooo loud from 12-3am (maybe beyond). It seemed to be an area for locals to gather after the bar! I’m a deep sleeper and it kept be up so be wary.

Easy to find. Very cute rustic decor and clean room. The bed is the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in! Although there is no staff (except when e we checked in), they were always responsive via WhatsApp. Access to “the Wall” is right in front of the hotel. It’s beautiful to walk, run or bike there.

Although we only had one night, it was New Year's Eve. The fireworks and party were just outside the hotel, but it was still nice and quiet in the room. Great location for everything walkable, including a great walking path on top of the old city wall. Great food options close any time of day.

Misleading photos and room description. We reserved a “Superior”
room but received the smallest one of all the photos. It was very small for three adults. Last I checked, superior means bigger or better than comparisons. This was a small room that the host simply crammed a cot into a corner for our adult daughter.
The HOST was very rude when I inquired about all the photos of a unit with much more space. Instead of apologizing for any misunderstanding, she said “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” I believe she was sensitive because she’s had this misunderstanding before. CLEAR LABELS ON ROOM TYPES WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THE HOSPITALITY BUSINESS.

One small setback was on the weekend evening we were there , there was a substantial amount of noise outside, quite late in the evening from young people leaving adjacent piazzas . Certainly not the fault of the property managers .

What an unexpected gem! We recently stayed at Inside the Wall and would absolutely recommend this to anyone travelling to Lucca. We received welcome messages prior to our arrival. Our hostess met us on arrival and the room was both beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. We had a small issue with the AC, but this was immediately rectified with above and beyond service. This was definitely one of the highlights of our recent trip and we sincerely hope we'll have the opportunity to return one day.

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)

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.
