Hotel L'Approdo

The staff is amazing

The staff was amazing and the property was excellent

Good

walkable area to downtown and board walk port area with charming restaurants cafes and bars.

The front desk was on the ground floor, as usual in Europe. The lift that I never used was a little bit up the stairs. To get to the 1st floor, I had to climb another circular flight of stairs. The room I had was big enough for myself, with the bathroom having plenty of space. Overall, the fixtures were aged, worn, but clean. The bed was very comfortable, the pillow being a little shallow. I asked for a second pillow and promptly got it. My room overlooked the ferry terminal across the street. The necessary AC worked really well, thankfully. As for location, the hotel is on a main bus line about 300 meters from the palm tree lined main street, Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi I, with 2 little cafes at the end of the Corso that meets the beautiful waterfront. The better cafe is Cafe Au Sonia, a Quarta Caffe member. Well run, and obviously where all the locals go, as it was always busy. The other cafe next door, had few or no folks there whenever I went by. Also, there are several other eateries up the Corso offering a variety of local fare. Also, there is a Eurospin super market a 10 minute walk from the hotel, using side streets. So, would I go back to this hotel? Absolutely!!! Very reasonably priced, not fancy but charming with the lobby having a nautical theme, well located near the gorgeous waterfront and train station, and with a staff that is extremely helpful, aiming to please. The front desk manned 24/7. Consider this hidden gem in Brindisi.

This place is good value and very good location. I had a single room without usable windows (narrow window at ceiling height) I hadn't thought to check that there was a window, and probably would not have booked, had I known. Staff were polite, but could not help as no other single rooms available. No breakfast, but decent places not too far away.

It's fine if you're travelling by car, but if you're travelling by bus, this hotel is really inconvenient so you should avoid it. The room smells even though it's cleaned every day. Also I ate dinner at the hotel, but the taste was average. There's nothing else around so I have no choice but to eat at the hotel.

Very convenient location in relation to the ferry to and from Greece. Very friendly staff!

No nonsense hotel

This hotel in very good locale (bus from airport goes by it's door.) It's nothing fancy but very good value. Shower a bit basic but worked. No breakfast but plenty of places nearby. Harbour area very good for evening stroll and drink. Only needed one night stay, would happily stay again, excellent value.

I had low expectations but the condition of the room is shockingly bad. They advertise air conditioning, but only provide an evaporator fan. My room started the evening at 27 celsius and got HOTTER throughout the night to 29 celsius in the morning. There is an ac mounted on the wall but it doesn't work. The rest of the place is equally bad. If you're into post-WWII, soviet depression-era style, then this place is for you. Not worth it under any circumstances.

Very easy walk into town, apart from that nothing good to say, dirty room, dangerous electrics and the worst breakfast I’ve ever had.

Nothing special about the hotel. One of the staff a little offenceif.

The 3rd floor stinks and the property is not that clean. I would not recommend staying here.

Whether was amizing stop was good nice reception

We only stayed there for 8 hours. The facilities need major upgrade. On the plus side-pleasing view over the river from the balcony, good bed.

The hotel is a bit aged but it was comfortable enough- the owner very friendly. Probably slighty overpriced for the quality but the location is very convenient.

No bed linen when we arrived, put on later; bed cover stained; unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Tried to find an alternative hotel but because of the Brindisi to Corfu Sailing Regatta all hotels/B&Bs were fully booked - not a great experience.

Oh my days! This is not a hotel to spend any length of time in. It hasn’t been renovated in 20 years. It was like a Spainish hotel in the 70’s. Use only for one night while waiting for ferry. Nothing in the room worked. Very noisy. On a postive note the sheets on my single bed were clean!

Abbiamo prenotato stanza con colazione inclusa per 2 notti, all'arrivo l'anziano alla reception ci fa pagare subito in tutta fretta e poi ci viene comunicato che la colazione non c'è. L'altro collega ha provato maldestramente a rimediare, proponendo delle brioche del discount e succo delle macchinette. Hanno incassato una cifra per un servizio che poi in effetti non offrono. Con la scusa di non averlo tolto dall'extranet. Detto ciò la posizione è comoda per raggiungere il centro di Brindisi. I mobili sono vecchissimi e nessuno toglie la polvere, va rinnovato profondamente, ma sembra che sia un po tutto lasciato andare sia nell'atteggiamento che nell'hotel in se.
