Lonely Planet review
Slap-bang in the centre of walled Lucca, inside a staggeringly historic and atmospheric building, hostellers won't get closer to the action than this. Top notch in comfort and service, this Hostelling International-affiliated hostel with 141 beds in voluminous rooms is serviced with a bar and grandiose dining room (breakfast €3, lunch or dinner €11). Non-HI members can buy a €3 one-night stamp.
