Hostels in Lecce

When you ring the bell or open the door, the sound of Pavarotti singing welcomes you. Which is awesome. Flavio, a man at the reception, was friendly but also extremely helpful. He helped improve my stay in Lecce which I didn't plan in too great a detail beforehand. Flavio recommended good restaurants nearby according to my preferences. There's a grocery named DOK supermercati less than five minutes away from the place. It's open until 9 pm which is helpful if you're out the whole day as I was for the conference. And once Flavio learned the reason I needed to depart early in the morning my last day was to catch the morning flight from the Brindisi airport, he advised me to use the train rather than the airshuttle bus which my conference organizers advised prior to my stay. His advice was helpful. The train station is much closer to the hostel than the bus station. I think I walked to the train in 25 minutes. I didn't mind the much longer walk to the airshuttle bus stop my first day of stay because I planned to do sightseeing in the city centre my first day. I loved the place, Lecce is stunning. If you like baroque and antiquity and Italy, you will love Lecce as I do now. My last day, I would have to use the taxi to catch the airshuttle bus. So Flavio helped me spare the taxi ride by directing me to the train. The train ride is also cheaper than the airshuttle bus ride. My train ran on time and in Brindisi at the station, there's a bus stop right in front of the building. The bus is headed for the Brindisi airport and I think it is operated by the train company. I didn't need to buy a separate ticket for that bus. If you need to wait a quarter of hour like I did, there's a nice caffeteria at the station in Brindisi.

The room is very cozy, clean. Location very good. Nice and honest service. I heartily recommend.
