Ibis Styles Brindisi

The hotel has had a number of recent improvements,such that many criticisms in old reviews no longer apply.Our room was not affected by external noise and had a smart clean appearance.The cheap and cheerful furniture offered useful storage( 4 drawers in total) such that full unpacking was possible.The beds were new and firm,with normal sheets- not the madness of duvets in the near tropical conditions. Being a budget hotel,only a small bathroom can be expected,but it was not made impractical by some designer’s fad.Shower water stays in its place! There was no foolishness with the air conditioning- it was fully controllable,and not linked to turn off in an unoccupied room via a keycard switch.There were no electronic locks to go wrong,nor self locking traps- just a normal key in an impressively strong firedoor. Breakfast was consistent with the price range,but croissants never ran out (owing to rationing) ,and hot fod was available. Judged by appropriate standards,I could find very little wrong here.

Staff in both the restaurant for breakfast and reception always helpful. Stayed 2 nights in this affordable and quite conveniently located hotel on a main bus route. Reception staff provided info on how to get around. Bus stops are just so near to the hotel. No. 8 bus fare is just 2€ per person in <15mins bringing you to its terminal at the coastal promenade, next to the start of the central town main pedestrian walkway. Bus drivers are extremely polite and helpful with your enquiries. Hotel Also provided info - 1.10€ per person takes you on a waterbus across the water channel to Monument for Italian sailors.

Their STAFF is incredible! They were so helpful to me on every level! Kind, thoughtful, pro-active, and perfect language understanding! The room is super clean, comfy bed (for me!), nice balcony so it gives in a lot of natural light in the room! The location is 15min bus ride from Brindisi center station, easy to get to the center as well as to the hospital where I needed to go (eventhough buses are not every 10 minutes like I would have hoped, and we are in October when I am visiting).

Close to the town, 15minutes walk. Safe area. Bottles of water and fridge in the room. Nice cakes at breakfast. Clean towels every day. Lovely staff, always available.

The location was the wrong side of town fr the city centre or port area but it was 15-20 mins walk to there. You could also get a bus. We booked it for a good price place to stay the night before our flight home and it met all our expectations. The staff were very helpful and had excellent English.
