My travel plans in Lucca had changed at the last minute, and I needed to book an extra nights stay. I could not book another night at my chosen hotel, so I chose Hotel Napoleon fort its price and proximity.
I could not have been more pleased. The room was very clean, and the shower/tub combination was a welcome upgrade to the "phone booth showers" I was accustomed to. The small balcony had table, and a wonderful view of the hills to the North and West. The louvered patio gate gave a feeling of security, while giving control of light and ambient noise. Phone, WiFi, large flatscreen TV, refrigerator, and in-room-safe were also advantages worth noting.
The staff was friendly, and extremely helpful when re-booking canceled flights and travel plans. The breakfast buffet was generous, with a good variety of fresh fruits, breads, and proteins. The bar area and lounge are a bit spartan, but the overall feel of the hotel is modern and uncluttered.
While the hotel is a walkable distance from the train station, lack of sidewalk space might make a taxi a worthwhile investment. There are a few restaurants close by, but the hotel's location on a busy roadway make extended walking a bit of a chore. Hardly a fatal flaw.
Wished I had chosen Hotel Napoleon to begin with.
