  Horrendous

  03 Aug 2025

  Probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The breakfast was completely awful. Horrendous coffee and dry cakes, no fruit or anything healthy at all. The rooms had the absolute basics and beds were like prison beds. There is a fridge but that is it. No kettle cutlery nothing.The shower and bathroom are poor, shower hardly works and the bath felt like it was going to fall through the floor. The staff were rude. Also there are a large number of cats living on the property who are wild and clearly in a lot of pain with no care, food or veterinary attention which says it all really. Kittens dying outside your hotel room is not great. The place should be shut down by animal cruelty charities.The hotel is absolutely miles from anything and only has cash only vending machines which just sell junk food.The only decent thing is the pool but 50% of the sunbeds are broken The place is like something from the 70s and how it has a 3 star rating i dont know.

  Convenient For The Airport

  15 Jul 2023

  I/we stayed for 2 separate nights in June & July during a 10 property Italian road trip, so this review is relatively objective.Easily found opposite an army base in a rural location with plenty of parking.A large modern hotel which could be described as soul less and totally lacking character. The main accommodation blocks (yes that’s what they are) have an army barracks feel about them.The bedrooms are basic, clean, large, cool, air conditioned, black out shutters with decent, if a little dated bathrooms. None of the staff encountered seemed to offer any engagement at all, simply doing what was their job and no more - and this is making allowances for the language barrier.There is a large and well maintained swimming pool.There is a restaurant on site but this wasn’t used. Breakfast was a very limited Italian buffet with self service coffee machines, which did in fact produce a decent cup of coffee.The plus for this hotel is that it’s only 10-15 minutes easy drive to the airport, which was what I/we used it for.

  Brindisi Break

  13 Oct 2019

  Stayed here for 3 nights to take in the beautiful city of Brindisi.Clean rooms, spacious, they got cleaned every day.Breakfast isn't much but still a bite to eat 7am till 10am.4 miles away from Brindisi centre but you can get a taxi ($20 is a standard price to Brindisi centre though unfortunately)There is a bus stop outside the hotel but wasn't regular and not sure where the bus goes to from that stop.Friendly staff and cheap as chips for drinks at the bar.

  Great customer service - if you are an Italian football team

  24 Sept 2019

  Many positives for this hotel - very clean, large rooms and a wonderful swimming pool Negatives - the cost of local taxis to Brindisi was stratospheric - €25 flat fare which was ridiculous - and the bus service was excellent but poorly explained by reception staff When the coach load of footballers came here the place went into lock down - restaurant closed and pool room taken over ..... and all the staff running around after the footballers - which led to the normal guests being abandoned The fixed and limited choice menu was very expensive and average in quality - far better available in Brindisi Would we stay again ? Yes - if we had a hire car - it was too isolated for a weekend stay in our opinion The fact that the manager wouldn’t allow us a few scraps from the kitchen to feed a stray gorgeous kitten did not impress - had there had been a local grocery store I would have bought some myself All in all - a bit soulless

  convenient, quiet, clean

  04 Nov 2017

  we have stayed here twice before arriving at Brindisi from Canada. This time we were leaving Brindisi for Canada. Being only 10-15 min from the airport, yet in a totally rural environment is a plus. Also from Brindisi it is very easy to find. Lots of parking. Large pool area. Large rooms, some with kitchens, some with balconies or both. Uusually we have dinner and breakfast and then move on.Perhaps because it was October, but our dinner menu was written without prices. Like a dummy we did not ask what each item cost and ordered what we thought was pretty basic stuff. We felt we were charged too much. Our fault! We should have spoken up!Otherwise we will continue to stay here. We love the convenience and the quiet surroundings.
