“Probably the most terrible hotel I have ever stayed in....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2007
3
people found this review helpful

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 Rooms are all very small and TV sets outdated.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!

“Meh...would not stay here again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2006

I was here with my family at the end of August. We chose this hotel because after spending a month in our hometown in southern Italy we wanted to see Roma and it's tourist attractions and I believe it was Nolitours that offered a series of hotels and tour packages.

The location was pretty good...a short walk to some live roma action, and we spent an entire day walking to via del corso, shopping, and walking back. the area is a bit shaddy though and i wouldn't recommend walking alone after dark.

the hotel room was TINY. thank goodness we were hardly in it unless to shower and sleep. We didnt have a bathtub just a shower. the A/C didn't work at all...we complained and they never came to fix it in the five nights we spent there.

Speaking of the staff, they are horrible. there was one guy at the front desk who was really just a doorknob. It seemed if we spoke to him in english or italian he didnt get what we were saying. the breakfast was nasty. we always just went to grab a cup of hot chocolate before we left for our tours or personal walking trips very early in the morning.

All in all, the hotel was crap. But, if you really just need a place to stay to sleep in, it's alright.

  • Liked — Pretty close to nearby attractions, and the cleanliness of our rooms
  • Disliked — Everything else

“Very Very Small but Pretty Decent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2006

people found this review helpful

My Boyfriend & I stayed at Hotel Lux at the end of May this year.
Our first impression of the hotel was fairly decent.

The lobby is nice and the staff is friendly and makes a great attempt to speak English. We arrived with other couples on our tour group and everyone got checked in pretty much right away.

Our room however was on the main floor and was the size of my closet. I guess you don't end up spending that much time in your hotel anyway. When you walk into the room it's just your bed, 2 night stands, a desk, mini fridge (which we didn't know was there or had free drinks until the day we left), a TV, and a small safe in a cupboard beside the bed. The safe was great you could set your own combination and we used it a lot.

The bathroom was pretty small, but it had an AMAZING bathtub (no shower.. just a shower head with no curtain or anything). After walking around the city for hours it was great to have a place to soak your feet. LOL.

The rooms did not have a working A/C. This wouldn't have been a problem if we had the option of leaving our window open. Our room was located on the main floor in the back of building which faced the maintenance room. So basically our room looked into a cement room with all the water and electrical [----]. We always had to keep our windows closed and locked. There was a ladder outside our window that leads to the street so really anyone could have hopped the fence and walked into our room. Very Scary!!!

Also, the workers would come down every morning and start yelling, banging on the pipes, walking back and forth outside our window and smoking at about 7:30am. Being on the ground level we also got to enjoy being woken up by the women setting up breakfast every morning; yelling.. table moving.. etc.

We tried to change rooms but they were completely booked solid so we made the best of it. OH and just a quick note on the breakfast... it [-----------]! Breakfast consisted of warm cream on stale cereal, rock hard buns, meat left out in the air for hours getting all hard and crusty and juice. We only ate the first day and after that went out for Breakfast.

If the staffs weren’t so friendly and helpful it would have made the trip a lot worse. They pointed us in the direction of great shops and things to see.

The hotel was very central and easy to find. I would suggest staying there if you don't intend on staying in your hotel more than a couple of hours at night. Just don't stay on the ground level!!!!!!
