Close to station charming hotel but not many facilities ( only 10 lounges round small pool ) lecce great place to explore xx

Hotel is not so gränd but very tired, definitely in need to some tlc. Pool area did not have enough loungers so was unable to enjoy this feature.

Very well situated hotel with private parking and an outdoor pool. Rooms were comfortable with all mod cons including safe and kettle. The grandeur is somewhat faded - it could do with some refurbishment particularly in the common areas, but still a pleasant place to stay./

The decor is part shabby, part magnificent. Absolutely fine for our purposes, and the room was ideal, but it would be great to see the hotel restored to its former grandeur.

One minute walk from train station

Very nice staff. Could have not booked a place we would have enjoyed more.

The unique selling point of this property is its closeness to the central train station. Links to most of the towns between Lecce and Bari and beyond are easy and fairly quick. In its former glory, as the railway hotel, this would have been the go-to accommodation for many Travellers and an overnight stay a normal thing to do. The opulence of the Grand Hotel at Lecce would have wowed the guests and there would have been a constant topping and doing of waiters and staff. There would have been a proper restaurant and kitchen serving up nice meals with local produce and the guests would have gone to bed without ever having to leave the hotel. Maybe this situation prevailed even beyond 2016 when the hotel was still listed in the Michelin Red Guide. Now, however, after the ravages of COVID and the various lockdowns that followed, the kitchen only operates for breakfast and the restaurant is a mere memory. Who knows? Maybe the restaurant will come back. It would make a lot of sense in this grand edifice.

Great location when arriving by train. Excellent swimming pool.

Retro elegance So comfortable with commodious bathroom, amazing pool and 20th century decor Please don’t let revolving taste allow you to miss this genuinely refreshing experience

Great location by the train station within walking distance of all amenities. Staff very helpful. Hotel is a little 'tired' but still clean and comfortable. Nice outdoor dining area for breakfast. Pool is lovely and quiet and a great area to relax in the sun.

Very old and the shower head was disgusting and spraying everywhere but down! I made them replace it! Room smelt of damp and black mould around the shower/bath!

Staff very attentive. But poor sun lounger arrangement round a pool with limited sun

I would say the hotel needs to update their photos or update their facilities, because the pictures aren’t an accurate representation of the premises. I would say that a primary motivator for many is the outdoor lounge/pool area, however this area is filthy, to the point of looking derelict, and the pool is closed. I can understand that the pool being closed could happen for many valid (Covid-related) reasons, this should be stated in advance and ‘pool’ should be removed from the listed facilities and photos. This being said there is no excuse for the pool are to be kept in such a mess, making the place unappealing to even sit at. Also, the ‘car park’ is a shed with space for 6 cars where you have to leave your car keys at the reception and have hotel staff move your car around as the only way of parking is to block others. The hotel said that if there is damage they would take responsibility, but I’d love to see how that would play out in reality. This being said, it’s an inexpensive hotel, staff were fine, but just font get your hopes up.

Grand hotel is only a block away from the train station, and within walking distance to the city. There was plenty of parking in front of the hotel. The hotel has good WiFi and AC, which our kids really liked. Our only recommendation is breakfast, I would recommend that they include milk/cereal and a fruit instead of all packaged bread products.

Amazing place to relax and enjoy the southern hospitality. This hotel is amazing, staff are so helpful and friendly. It’s has been a dream .One block from the train station and next to the old town.

excellent

Beautiful room and good location for the purpose of visiting a local restaurant. We had the deluxe room, great space but needs a little attention. There was a pole hanging from the wall which I think was supposed to secure the shower screen. The minibar was a little sparse, as in soft drinks only and my biggest problem was lack of coffee or tea making facilities in the room which is common in Southern Italy.

Hotel in desperate need of rennovation

Loved the pool and breakfast as well as perfect location between train station and centro. The decor is a bit too kind of old, could be updated a bit.

Very nice, stylish, very nicely furnished, beautiful terrace and swimming pool area where you can have breakfast.

IL PERSONALE MOLTO CORDIALE. DA CURARE LA STRUTTURA INTORNO ALLA PISCINA

Lovely hotel. Spacious clean room and large bathroom. Nice terrace overlooking pool. Various choices for breakfast. Close to station and walking distance to city.

It was a good stay overall.

Nice hotel near old part of town. Helpfull stuff. Beautifull rooms.

This was such a lovely hotel for our 3 night stay in Lecce - in particular we loved the helpful staff at reception, and the size and comfort of our room. The art and antique furniture was an added bonus!

Disappointed with hotel. Tired and once Grand Poor entry- half dead plants. Bar area and stools very poor condition. Pool greenish - needs a scrub and pool surround area knee high weeds and in need of garden maintenance Other marks on walls leading to our suite Staff were good but poor management in olace
