Info
Summary of reviewsAffittacamere Arancio is largely praised for its strategic location just outside Lucca's historic walls, making it an excellent base for sightseeing while offering a peaceful and safe environment. Guests appreciate its proximity to the city center, accessible within a short 5-10 minute walk and the convenience of nearby attractions like Porta Elisa and the Sanctuary of Santa Gemma Galgani. The availability of free on-site parking and remarkable internal cleanliness further enhance the appeal of this accommodation.

The cleanliness of the property is a standout feature with many guests commending the tidy and well-maintained rooms, bathrooms and shared spaces. The overall structural beauty and organization of the premises also receive positive remarks. However, isolated incidents of mold in showers or occasional cleanliness lapses were noted but did not significantly detract from the overall positive impression.

Breakfast at Affittacamere Arancio receives mixed feedback. While some guests value the self-service, anytime availability and found it adequate and plentiful, others were disappointed by the predominance of pre-packaged, industrial items and limited variety. Issues with the freshness of some items and the small, often overcrowded breakfast area were also mentioned. The breakfast experience fulfills basic needs but appears to be an area with room for improvement.

The rooms at Affittacamere Arancio offer a mix of positive and negative experiences. The spaciousness, cleanliness, comfortable beds and essential amenities like air conditioning and private bathrooms are appreciated. However, noise issues, particularly in ground floor rooms facing the street, insufficient soundproofing and varying mattress quality—with several reports of soft, sagging mattresses—are notable drawbacks. Despite these concerns, the central location and provision of free private parking keep the accommodation appealing for short stays.

The staff receives varied reviews with many guests highlighting their friendliness, helpfulness and accommodating nature, especially from the host and owners who facilitate smooth check-ins and clear communication. Positive experiences were occasionally marred by reports of unresponsive or unmotivated behavior from some staff members and delays during check-in procedures.

The free private parking is a valued amenity, especially with shaded spots and proximity to the city center. However, the narrow entrance to the parking area poses a challenge, particularly for larger vehicles, which can find maneuvering through the tight space difficult.

In summary, Affittacamere Arancio is a desirable option for visitors to Lucca, offering a convenient location, consistent cleanliness and essential amenities. While the breakfast and bedding conditions have areas needing improvement, the overall positive experiences of many guests make it a suitable choice for short stays, especially for those traveling with smaller vehicles.

Location

Guests appreciated its proximity to the city center, which can be reached with a short walk of about 5-10 minutes. The area is quiet and safe, yet close enough to attractions like Porta Elisa and the Sanctuary of Santa Gemma Galgani. The ease of accessing the train station and free on-site parking also added to the appeal for visitors. The interior of the property is noted for its beauty and the cleanliness and tranquility further enhance the stay. Overall, the location is highly praised for those looking to sightsee and enjoy the charm of Lucca without being directly within the bustling city center.

Breakfast
Visitors to Affittacamere Arancio have mixed feelings about the breakfast offered at the hotel. The most positive remarks highlight that the breakfast is self-service and available at any time, including fresh and packaged options. Some guests found the selection generous, plentiful and befitting a facility of this kind. There are mentions of the breakfast being good, nice and even perfect for what the hotel offers.

However, several guests noted areas for improvement. The breakfast often consists of pre-packaged, industrial products like croissants, snacks and toast with limited variety and no fresh items. Some found the food to be of low quality and lacking in freshness with instances of expired items like moldy jam and sour fruit juice. The breakfast room was also criticized for being small, leading to overcrowding and sometimes messy conditions.

Overall, while some found the breakfast adequate and sufficient for a brief stay, others were disappointed by the lack of variety, freshness and the predominance of pre-packaged goods. The breakfast experience at Affittacamere Arancio seems to fulfill basic needs but leaves room for significant enhancement.

Rooms
Affittacamere Arancio offers a mixed experience based on guest reviews. Many guests appreciated the spacious and clean rooms with some highlighting the very comfortable beds and overall pleasant appearance. The cleanliness of the rooms is frequently praised with numerous mentions of tidy rooms that meet guests' expectations. The air conditioning and private bathrooms are noted as valuable features, although the bathrooms are sometimes described as small and windowless.

On the downside, several reviews mention issues with noise, particularly for ground floor rooms facing the busy street. The soundproofing appears to be insufficient. Another concern is the condition of the mattresses, which many guests found very soft and sagging, leading to uncomfortable sleeping experiences. Some beds are simply two single mattresses pushed together, which can be inconvenient. Instances of less-than-ideal cleanliness were also noted, including dusty areas and stained bedding.

Despite these drawbacks, the rooms' overall location, close to the center and the provision of essential amenities make it a suitable option for short stays. The availability of free private parking is an added bonus for those traveling by car. While Affittacamere Arancio has its strengths in cleanliness and comfort for the most part, potential guests should be aware of the varying room conditions and possible noise issues.

Beds
Affittacamere Arancio offers mixed reviews when it comes to their beds. While some guests praised the beds as comfortable, cozy and big, many others found significant issues with the mattresses. Several comments highlighted that the mattresses were too soft, sagging and old with reports of noticeable deformations and even holes. Some guests specified that the double beds were made up of two single mattresses, which didn't provide a comfortable sleeping experience. There were also complaints about the cleanliness of the bedding and overall poor quality of the bed frames and mattresses. Overall, while some guests found the beds sufficient for a night's sleep, others pointed out the urgent need for modernization and replacement of the existing mattresses to enhance comfort.

Cleanliness
Affittacamere Arancio offers a great value for money, particularly in terms of its cleanliness. The rooms are consistently praised for being very clean, tidy and pleasant. Guests have also highlighted the excellent overall cleanliness of the premises, including the bathrooms and shared spaces. The structure itself is noted for its beauty and organization, making for a visually pleasing and well-maintained environment.

The central location of the accommodation is another plus, providing easy access to Lucca's charming cafes and restaurants. The breakfast is repeatedly described as good, complementing the clean and well-kept rooms.

However, some guests have reported issues with specific aspects of cleanliness, such as mold in the showers or a general lack of cleanliness in certain areas. Despite these isolated issues, the overall impression of cleanliness remains positive, bolstered by courteous and attentive staff who manage breakfast and cleaning well.

In summary, Affittacamere Arancio is a centrally located, clean and pleasant place to stay in Lucca with most guests appreciating the cleanliness and value offered.

Staff
Affittacamere Arancio garners mixed reviews concerning its staff, revealing both glowing and critical insights. Guests frequently praised the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, highlighting the pleasant welcome and clear explanations they received upon arrival. The host and owners, in particular, were often mentioned for their kindness and willingness to accommodate, even facilitating late check-ins. The owner’s proficiency in German helped enhance communication for German-speaking visitors.

However, not all experiences were consistent. Some guests reported less favorable encounters, such as a lack of assistance, unresponsive staff and instances of rudely noisy behaviors early in the morning. There were also complaints about staff being unmotivated or visibly annoyed and delays during check-in procedures left some guests waiting outside in adverse conditions.

While the general sentiment about the staff at Affittacamere Arancio leans towards the positive, there is a notable disparity in guest experiences which suggests room for improvement in hospitality and service consistency.

Parking
Affittacamere Arancio offers the convenience of free private parking, but there are a few caveats to note. The parking lot is located right behind the building and even includes shaded spots, making it a valuable amenity for guests. The location is also close to the city center, adding to its appeal. However, access to the parking area can be challenging. Many guests have noted that the entrance is extremely narrow, suitable primarily for small cars. Larger vehicles may find it difficult, if not impossible, to maneuver through the tight space. While the parking itself is free and reserved for guests, the narrow entryway has been a recurring issue. Guests with cars larger than a Mini or those not comfortable with tight spaces may find the parking situation a bit daunting. Despite the parking being a bit crowded at times, it remains a convenient perk for those with smaller vehicles adept at navigating narrow driveways.
