2/6 found this review helpful

We stayed in the Patria Palace for 3 nights on a recent trip to Puglia. Calling it a palace is a big stretch. The only thing royal about the place is the staff who think that they are the royalty having to deal with unwanted guests in their palace.

Our room overlooked a wall and was over the kitchen, so the smell of grease prevented us from even being able to open the window. The bathroom was poorly supplied and the water in the shower would turn scolding hot and burn you at least twice during the shower. The overall decor could be described as a 3 star hotel trying to look fancy, but coming off as tacky.

The staff were very unhelpful, and some, just plain rude. When I asked for some restaurant recommendations, the only advice they gave was "Our hotel has the best restaurant in Lecce". Period.

The only highlight was the free breakfast...it was delicious. Other than that, stay at a bed and breakfast for a more authentic experience at half the cost.

You cant beat the location and although clean and comfortable the rooms are rather small and the bathroom not great. However compared with others we stayed in in S Italy, it stands out as being the best. Parking was posisble in nearby garages, a real plus for Lecce.

“Fine Choice in Lecce”

4/5 found this review helpful

Great choice for exploring Lecce. Upscale hotel with beautiful, well furnished rooms (bathroom is small). Excellent breakfast and restaurant. Best location in the city, across piazza from flamboyant St. Croce Church and near (via walking) all major sights. Garage available (valet) for 15 euros per night, reasonable in light of difficulty parking in Lecce city center. Somewhat difficult to access hotel with a car, with narrow alleys, a situation exacerbated by construction in the area - get good directions.

“Charming hotel”

2/3 found this review helpful

We spent 2 days in Lecce. The hotel is grand home away from home, with excellent service and friendly helpful staff. It has a great central location in the historical part of the city, within walking distance of all amenities. The buffet breakfast had one of the largest selections of dishes to suit any needs. I will certainly stay here again when I return for another vacation in this beautiful part of Italy.

Intially, I was disappointed with the rooms and staff but after our experiences in other hotels in southern Italy, this hotel is worth considering. The location was central and the staff was hospitable, although the friendliness was forced. Dinner was appetizing. The cleanliness disappointing, but worse was still to come.
