Palazzo dei Tolomei

Really good location right in the city centre. The decor is very nice and modern. My room had a strong AC system which kept it cool despite some days having outside temperatures exceeding 35°C. Barbara was a very responsive host. Check-in was straightforward. I would highly recommend Palazzo dei Tolomei.

Very minor but there was only one plug socket with Europlug Type C plug. This was the only adapter type that I had for a UK plug as I was under the impression the Europlug Type C is common in Italy. However I don't consider this a big issue.

Fully renovated, in an old building, extemely clean, no musty smells that old buildings sometimes can't seem to avoid. Nice rooftop terrace for guests to enjoy whenever they want. We did not purchase the optional breakfast since Lecce has so many nice bars to visit for a morning cappucino and pastry, but they serve it up there, which is nice. There is a filtered water dispenser up there in the closed part of the rooftop area that all guests are welcome to use to refill their water bottles (both carbonated and still). There is a secure parking garage 600m away (a short walk), with sidewalks suitable for rolling luggage. The hotel is only a few meters inside the old town, so you won't have to roll your luggage very far on cobblestones. If you come by taxi, you can be dropped off very close (taxis generally are not allowed in the ZTL zone where this hotel is.) We walked all over Lecce Centro Storico easily from this hotel. there is a great restaurant on the first floor (not affiliated), that plays great jazz/swing music, so open your windows to add to the experience of being in Lecce (and the food there was great, too!)

Fabulous location. Large rooms. Clean.

It is near center, so the noise at night travels up. I always travel with earplugs so it did not wake me at all.

Clean, really great staff and management, comfy, warm and beds were really decent. It was nice and pleasantly warm as it rained during our stay (still winter!). We were greeted with smiles and surprised to check in early. Fresh water and coffee available upstairs. Located 10 min walk to covered parking.

The bar downstairs was a bit loud after midnight. Everything else top notch!
