Comodo al centro storico

Hotel in posizione molto comoda per visitare il centro storico di Otranto, La stanza al piano terra e' risultata ampia ma molto buia con affaccio su di un muro del cortile interno e luci fioche. La maniglia della finestra e' rotta e cosi' anche quella della porta che conduce nell'ingresso. Il bagno e' piccolo ed un po' trascurato(manca una lampadina). In compenso la ragazza che ci ha accolto e' stata molto gentile e simpatica, peccato che non ci fosse neanche una piantina del centro storico ne' nessun tipo di materiale informativo. La colazione sufficiente ma migliorabile. E' un 3 stelle sicuramente migliorabile con qualche attenzione in piu' ai dettagli.

Struttura discreta

La struttura è discreta, la titolare è stata disponibile e gentile, la camera pulita, l'unica pecca è stata la notte, a causa del minifrigo rumoroso e di un fastidiossisimo cane della palazzina difronte, che ha abbaiato tutta la notte. Non abbiamo chiuso occhio.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo

Consiglierei questo albergo a chiunque volesse soggiornare nella bellissima Otranto senza spendere troppo ma senza rinuciare a niente. A pochi passi dal centro, è in un'ottima posizione sia per visitare Otranto che per spostarsi nei luoghi vicini (come i Laghi Alimini). Personale cordiale e disponibile e stanze pulite dotate di tutto il necessario. Buona anche la colazione.

week end in salento

Un ottimo rapporto qualita' prezzo per chi non vuole per forza il lusso, posizione molto comoda con parcheggio stradale gratis ed una responsabile che potremmo definire wonderwoman. Un appoggio affidabilissimo per gustarsi questa perla del salento.
