Best Western Plus Leone di Messapia Hotel & Conference

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is minimalist modern, and pristine throughout. The beds are huge and comfortable, the bathrooms very smart. The air conditioning is quiet and effective. Superb breakfast-I wish we could have kept the orange juicer! Very helpful reception and other staff. Plentiful car parking. A short taxi journey to the stunning centre of Lecce cost us around 15 Euros. Recommended without hesitation. less

Nice hotel with spacious rooms.The breakfast was nice and the parking was free. The location serves as base to explore Puglia and Salentina. The bar near the reception wasn't very vivid and a bit expensive although the quality of the spirits was poor. less

The hotel was new and rooms very modern. The staff at the front counter were not very lively, however, the breakfast and room staff were all very nice and helpful. Although the hotel is a short drive to the main part of Lecce, there isn’t much to do around the hotel itself. The hotel definitely needs more facilities like a pool, gym or restaurant, especially since there is a lot of space for it. Breakfast was nice and provided a great variety of foods. less

As others reviewers have already said, this is a surprisingly great property: the hotel is pristine, the rooms are large and comfortable, the bed extremely comfortable, the staff accommodating, and we never heard a thing from any other room (we were on the 4th floor). Excellent air conditioning and a fine breakfast at a reasonable rate. Our first stay was so good that we added a second unplanned stay later during our holiday. We ate one night at the hotel's recommended restaurant down the road, when we didn't feel like venturing further out. The pizza was good enough and the restaurant employees very helpful and friendly. It's a place that draws local families with small children for celebrations. The restaurant also offers hotel guests 10 percent off, a nice perk. The hotel is 100-percent smoke free, and takes that policy seriously. Hooray. You'll need a car to stay here. Lecce--even outside of the old town--is hard to drive in (lots of traffic controlled streets), so do get driving directions to the parking lots outside the old town. You can drive to the sea (San Catoldo) from the hotel in about 15- 20 minutes. As others have said already, a pool would make this hotel just amazing. less

Very large clean rooms, Great service, free parking, excellent breakfast. Great location to serve as base to explore lower 1/3 of Puglia if you have a car. It would have been perfect,If this hotel had a gym or pool to unwind in after a long day of exploration. less
