Beautiful historic hotel in very good location only one block from the train station and 2 from the edge of the old center. There is a grand entrance with beautiful flowers, a pool, and an excellent rich breakfast with a choice of many local foods . My room was amazing: unusually large, quiet, and very comfortable with great light and classical furnishings.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The room was spacious and extremely comfortable. The pool and green surrounds very relaxing with bar service. Breakfast was varied and enjoyed either inside or outside.5 minute walk to the old town with its wonderful architecture which came alive in the evening with many restaurants and bars. Fabulous location, old town easily walkable with numerous attractions including piazzas and amphitheatre.

The window was not locked properly allowing some gap where noise could pass through it. I notified the reception and they claimed that they will fix it. I hope they will.

The room was spacious and clean. The air condition unit was very efficient which is quite rare in ourdays in hotels. The hotel was located 1 minute walk from the train station and the FSE bus stop (via don bosco) where replacement rail buses depart to other destinations.

The only negative was the shower experience as both the pressure and temperature fluctuated wildly whilst showering throughout our stay.

Great location, the decor was nice and a good size for a city hotel. Everyone was friendly.

The hotel car park had never a free space which was very annoying, we weren't offered any explanation or told about it before hand, the staff were vague, and said it was fully booked for days in advance and when asked if we could book/reserve a space she said that reserving spaces wasn't allowed which contradicted what they said , we asked if we could drive to the car park and check for ourselves but were told no, which was suspicious, they said they could see on the cameras that it was full but wouldn't tell us where it was situated, there are some free spaces on one of the side streets but if it's free then the space is typically gone/unavailable. However to pay for outside parking in the blue spaces doesn't cost the earth. Perhaps the carpark is just for staff which is fine. But be transparent and don't advertise free parking on the site if its always suspiciously full and without access. Also there is only one plug in the room which our adapter could fit into, the rest of the plugs were not suited to adapter usage.

The hotel has had a fabulous revamp, our room had huge high ceilings and was very spacious and clean. Its very close to the station and the old town is within walking distance. The staff were very welcoming and our room was ready which was very appreciated.

The corridors where the bedrooms were situated were very dark and dismal but in fairness there are signs of them being renovated. The carpets in the bedrooms need replacing - more fresh fruit at breakfast. The area around the beautiful pool needs a good sweeping. Having said all that I would return to Grand Hotel Lecce especially for its location.

Lovely traditional Italian hotel in an excellent location right beside the train station and only a 7 minute walk to the beginning of the old town of Lecce. The breakfast was good - cakes lovely- - pool very much appreciated after a morning of sightseeing - staff very friendly and helpful but clearly understaffed and overworked at times.

No bar .

Not enough sun beds in the pool area, they can easily add 6-8 beds.

Great breakfast! Close to old town. If you need a parking space, make sure to book it in advance since there are very few spots.

Breakfast was fine if a little repetitive

We really liked this hotel .Built in the days of old style hotels it is very comfortable and stylish . Excellent Location near the old town and also near to the train station . Nice pool and bar service for drinks by the pool. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel's location is superb. 2 min walk from train station (you never hear any trains) and 2 min walk to Lecce old town. The staff are lovely, breakfast is great and the rooms are a really good size and clean.

There is no restaurant for a limited choice for lunch. We had to walk a very long way in very hot weather to the nearest restaurant/cafe

Very good

The clue is in the name - the hotel is, indeed, very “grand” and charming. It transports its guests back to an era of grandeur seldom experienced today. It is a “work in progress” project that deserves to succeed. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent.

Roadworks were being carried out in the street which may have caused a very unpleasant odour coming from the bathroom,

The hotel had been refurbished beautifully but kept in in its original Art Deco era A huge variety of food was available at breakfast. Very close to the railway.

Lovely baroque style hotel just five minutes walk from the train station. Breakfast is buffet style and served on the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. The was a good selection to choose from. The hotel is about 15 minutes walk to the lovely old town of Lecce.

The main carpet to bedrooms is very stained could do with replacing. The pool area needs to be swept on a daily basis. The small patch of ground beside the pool needs flowers just to make it nicer to look at while sitting at pool. There are no "Do Not Disturb" signs and staff knocked and opened bedroom door every morning before 9.00am it was very annoying especially when we were staying for 5 days and breakfast was served til 10.00am. The main restaurants and tourist areas are about a 15 min walk away which is far enough if you are not great on your feet a lot of uneven surfaces you would probably need to get a taxi up and down.

The reception area and sitting rooms were lovely and comfortable. The bedroom was lovely, bright and airy. The bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They had a small private carpark (at an additional cost) but i felt the car was safe. There was a lovely small swimming pool area with pool side chairs. Breakfast had a very good selection of cold meats, salads yoghurt and lots of cakes. It is closer to the old town which is lovely as you are near to the cathedral and lots of historical buildings.
