Risorgimento Resort

We booked into a 5 star hotel and, like another very recent reviewer, had a very disappointing experience. The rooms do not provide a 5 star experience, not even close- The main lobby and dining areas don’t prepare you for the condition of the rooms which are greatly in need of a refresh. The carpets, floors and surfaces were worn and in some cases dirty. It seems housekeeping has tried but there is only so much they can do! The chrome on the faucets was missing from the trying. As soon as we arrived, we started considering leaving to another hotel. The failure of the big stuff was not even offset by thoughtful small amenities- no coffee or tea supplies in the room, no paper, no pen, no comfortable place to sit. I did ask if there was another room available. The staff was kind enough to look and then showed me an equally tired room. It wasn’t worth moving.

Very nice location and breakfast ok, but poor service at the reception, no concierge service and staff recommendations are tourist traps mainly. carpet in the room old, dirty with hair and with stains all over as old towels & furniture . Wouldn’t stay here again. This is definitely not a 5 star hotel much better options in the area.

Stayed for 6 nights in Presidential Suite . Lovely big bedroom / bed and fantastic lounge with huge TV. Terrace is fantastic to sit out on watching Lecce go by ! Super coffee machine . Ceilings are wonderfully high / so perfect. Bathroom decent with Jack and Jill sinks . Shower cubicle is quite small though . Hotel breakfasts are plentiful and very good quality with choice to eat outside if wanted. Reception staff very helpful and polite - hotel has a very relaxed calm feel. Location is fantastic for visiting by foot everything Lecce has to offer . Ate at rooftop restaurant 1 evening which was outstanding . Hotel organised our transfers to and from Brindisi airport which worked fine. Great base for us with our organised trips around Puglia.

We had a suite on the 4th floor. The good stuff: 1. Hotel is in a great location 2. The room was very large and it had a lovely big terrace 3. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean 4. Lovely big comfy bed 5. The valet parking service is very efficient 6. Welcoming staff 7. Water, fruit and sparking wine in the room The stuff that could be better: 1. Very small bathroom considering the size of the room with weirdly a huge 2 person jacuzzi bath in a separate room which I couldn’t work out how to use. Would be better to have a decent size bathroom with an ordinary bath in it 2. Breakfast not included and was overpriced at 25 euros per person to add it on 3. No tea or coffee making facilities 4. There were so many light switches and lots of them didn’t make sense. It took ages to work out which switch turned on each light. Overall I recommend this hotel as a good place to stay.

We loved this hotel in the center of Lecce. Within walking distance to everything locally, and easy to navigate when driving to other towns. The hotel is lovely and the staff was very helpful with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed the private balcony. Highly recommend!
