Hotel Le Ville

"have stayed here many times thru out the years. staff and manager are always tops, there are a few restaraunts close by. some nights the manager would whip up some snacks at the bar for free.. breakfast was always a good selection of breads, yogurts and fruit. rooms were clean, but try to get one on the back side of hotel away from the street, ifyou have trouble sleeping."

"After paying for one nights stay and checking out, the receptionist had called in the local police to coerce our party into paying for an extra night. The police officer pulled out the gun out of his holster, cocked the gun and pointed it at our vehicle. He asked for our passports and documentation and they tried to make us pay for an extra room because they thought we were only 3 people, but we had an unexpected guest arrive in the early AM. I would not recommend this hotel, their handling of this situation was unprofessional and I felt my human rights were violated. Beware of this hotel. A police report was filled against this hotel and the US Embassy was also made aware. Other than that, the arrangements were acceptable. "

"the signposting from Lucca to the hotel in Lamari (10km outside Lucca) is insufficient, especially when you drive at night. It took us more than 20 min. to get there. The day after we took a different road (Via della Ville) and we reached Lucca in 5 min. So the ad "a few minutes from Lucca centre" is a matter of opinion. Furthermore, we got confused, because there is a "Viale Europa" also in Lucca, just outside the city walls. Beside the location, the hotel is quite ok. The young and enthusiastic staff was helpful und friendly. We got an wonderful breakfast and the rooms are spacious. Nice place, when you don't mind to stay outside Lucca. "
