Hotels near Bastion St. James, Brindisi

Spent the night here before flying out of Brindisi. 10 ride to the airport. Alissia checked us in and checked us out. She was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Many hot and cold.options. Loved the fresh squeezed orange juice. Rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. Website. Says FREE parking but that's on the street IF you can find a spot. They have a few spots for 10 euros that you can reserve. Easy walking.distance to many restaurants.Would stay here again.

I'm perhaps being a little mean in giving this place four and not five stars; in all but one aspect it was great. Firstly, the location couldn't be better, being just a few steps from the main thoroughfare and a short walk from the harbour along both of which we found a good selection of cafes and restaurants. The hotel itself is very modern, well decorated and spotlessly clean and our room was nicely furnished, well equipped and very comfortable. The air conditioning was a little tricky to adjust but we did sleep well and woke up refreshed on each of the two mornings we stayed, The reception staff were pleasant and welcoming and answered any queries we had with a smile. We stayed at the beginning of our holiday in Puglia before going back to the airport to collect our hire car and reception ordered us a taxi for that purpose. Brindisi, by the way, is an attractive port and well worth a day of anybody's time; we were glad to have stayed there for the two nights. The only disappointing aspect, particularly on the first of our two mornings, was the breakfast. We arrived towards the end of the breakfast period (but not immediately before it ended) to find the coffee pot empty, the cold milk for cereal almost empty and the hot food all but exhausted. I settled for a small portion of scrambled eggs and three paltry pieces of sausage - the lady after me didn't even get that! There was a good selection of other foods however, although no orange juice, just pineapple, peach and pear juice which seemed a little bizarre. Frankly, the staff that morning seemed uninterested - although they were polite, calling us Sir and Madam, I'd rather have had a smile and a full coffee pot without having to ask. When we did ask, they made us individual coffees which meant we had to go and look for them to ask again when we wanted a refill. Things were much better the next morning, although smiles and orange juice were still absent. It's a shame that the breakfast experience was so out of step with the rest of our stay because, overall, we liked the Hotel and will certainly consider it again if and when we return to Brindisi.

The location on Main street with palm trees ist best and very cliose to the port with many restaurants. The building is historic but the rooms are new and well designed and big. There is AC. It is a 10 min. walk from the train station where the bus feom the airport arrives. The breakfast has a good choice and egg dishes and freshly squeezed orange juice can be paid extra. Veey comfortable bed and quiet room with bakcony. They will send you the code fir the entrance door by email after the reservation. Would atay there again

Located on a main road, but a 20 minute walk from the center, Ibis offers clean, spacious rooms and well appointed bathrooms, at reasonable rates. Two things do much to recommend this place: first, the front desk is always staffed by knowledgeable, multilingual staff who are happy to help you make all sorts of arrangements. Second, the breakfast here is free and quite substantial, for a continental spread, with the lavish hours of 6:30 to 10. Check out is at the late hour of noon.

Location is excellent, right on the waterfront of the old city. The hotel itself is very grand so to speak, spacious rooms and large public areas. It is becoming a bit old: Not necessarily run down, but dated. There's a bar area behind reception which looks like it's never seen customers for ages, the breakfast is a bit meager for a hotel of this size but then again Italians don't do big breakfasts. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

A stunning setting.Greeted by the lovely Angela or Francesca,who were extremely helpful. The owner was very curious and greeted us daily.Our standard room was amazing.Lovely friendly ladies refreshed our room daily. The grounds,garden all well kept a natural look in keeping with the 15th Century building. Rosata greets you with a smile at breakfast and sets out a lovely choice and great coffee. It was extremely quiet but that suited us.Any drinks just go to reception. Would suggest getting snacks and drinks from local supermarket and store in your own fridge. Beautiful pool area with noticeable new sunbeds.Good base for exploring the area.Evening meals based on local produce and all very good. Had a wonderful relaxing break. Highly Recommend.
