I stayed in the hotel for five nights. I had used this hotel many times in the past and had always liked the faded elegance of the place. This time the room I got was very jaded, wallpaper dirty and falling off the wall, mildew on the bathroom ceiling, when I mentioned this to the front of house staff, I... more

My husband & I stayed here for just one night en route to Pisa Airport and wished that we had stayed for longer. The hotel is in a fantastic location and everywhere was easily accessible on foot. It was situated on a square which though it was in the centre of town gave a wonderful feeling of space and the... more

Why is breakfast served so late 7 45am?Most places start at 7am. Not good if you want to start touring early, andthey won't open the doors a minute before. more

We had read so many good things about Lucca but were very diasappointed when we saw our accommodations in Lucca. We expected a lot more for the price we paid, 140 Euro a night. The hotel staff was very unhelpful , unfriendly, and put out that we asked them to do any thing. The hotel had an overall dismal and... more

Our overall impression of the hotel was good and we felt that it was good value, BUT the Summer Festival was in full swing and the hotel is located at the edge of the main arena, paths and roads are closed to control the screaming mass of mainly teenagers from entering without tickets, all adjacent streets were crowded with those... more

It had been a long time since I stayed in the Universo, faded glory described it then, so I found other accomodations on subsequent trips. A special price of 59 euro enticed me to give it another chance. I was pleasently surprised. It is obvious that everything had been redone. My room was bright and cheerful. I like the breakfast. more
