We have stayed 3 nights at the Lux in October 2008. We didn't like our experience at all. The hotel area is not very nice, it is also too far from the city center. The room was small, not very clean and the noise from other rooms or from the stairs and front office was extremely disturbing. We had to start the fan from the room air condition system (not really working!) to cover the noise in order to sleep. The breakfest was not good and the facility cleanliness was questionnable. We were told by our travel agency that we could have breakfest outside on a terrasse. Forget about the terasse, you don't want to eat there. In the same price brackets, you can find better hotels in Rome.

Horrible hotel. It was incredibly dirty...many stains on the bed spread. The shower doors were broken as was the tv. The rooms are tiny. It is in a horrible area. Pay a little extra and stay closer to the Trevi fountain.

I came here on a group trip in march and was absolutely shocked.
my parents after staying the the St regis grand in december 07 announced that Rome was a beautiful city. Not where i was staying it wasn't. On arrival we were told that the coach couldnt go any further so we were told to walk to the hotel with all our bags. with 40 people that isnt so easy. the street of the hotel is lined with rubbish bins and graffiti and loud bars. the hotel is very small and only one lift out of two worked. althougth the hotel staff were pleasent it was clear they didnt understand english very well. my room was a twin room with two camp beds forced in too. meaning the four of us were in a room for two people. It was Unbelievably cramped!! we had to climb over the beds to get to the other side. the bathroom was alright although the shower was faulty. the hotel is very noisy at night time as there are many many school trips at the hotel. it is also very noisy from the street and we often found it hard to sleep. in the morning we were in for a shock. the breakfast was appaling. there was no hot food whatsoever. the only thing we could salvage was a rock hard slice of bread and some chocolate spread. even the fruit was off date! the table with food was also dirty and messy with food lying everywhere. we had to clean the tables ourselves and we usually found ourselves taking a plastic cup of watery hot-chocolate and heading straight back up to the room. luckily we only had to stay here for two night but on my way out of the hotel i seen it said 4 star, we had been told it was a 3 star. well it defiently was lower than that.

I think the pictures I uploaded speak for themselves. I stayed with a group of 32 lately and I got to see all type of rooms on every floor. What a tragedy! Rooms are all very small and TV sets outdated. No international channels by the way when you are lucky enough to get a signal...

This is not an hotel more like a Youth Hostel. They literally locked the front door from 2 to 5 am. The breakfast is appealing (both in quantity and content). For the same price, your money goes a long way anywhere else in Europe (especially in Spain where we got to stay in REAL four stars for the SAME price!)

SHAME ON YOU LUX HOTEL!!!!!!!!!

Stay away from this place!
