Le Club Boutique Hotel

At the center of the old town. Small but lovely hotel. Good for travellers staying here for a night.

    Dirty is the word. Should have listened to other reviewers about the cleanliness of this hotel and the rude staff. So, firstly, our greeting at midday as we walked into this not so easy to find hotel was ‘you’re too early for checkin’. My absolute pet hate greeting. Not a greeting at all. As I then explained to the ‘gentleman’ behind the counter, I can tell the time. All we wanted to do was to leave luggage. What ever happened to ‘let’s see what we can do?’ As we all know not all hotels run at 100% every night meaning there may be empty clean rooms. Okay, so the lack of lighting in the bedroom we can almost cope with. No overhead lighting at all. Just three lamps. iPhone torch essential to try and work out how to use the air conditioning. The air conditioning doesn’t really work anyway. The lack of light in the bathroom is a bigger worry. Again no overhead lighting just the flickering backlight behind the mirror. But perhaps low lighting is not a bad idea given the cleanliness of the bathroom, more on that later. Lack of lighting in the bathroom is unacceptable. The shower screen in the bathroom makes no sense the way it works, designed for thin people only. Not acceptable. The shower head is wrong design and the holder is broken and so just doesn’t work. Therefore the shower head has to be handheld which we do not find convenient at all. Not acceptable. Marks/stains on the very thin threadbare towels, not acceptable. But the cleanliness of the bathroom was the real worry. Wiping the floor, on day one, with the bath mat turned it brown as in faeces brown. But let’s give them a chance. So next day, in theory after the room has been cleaned, there are still those unidentified brown marks on the wall by the toilet paper holder. You can decide what they are. The toilet seat is poorly attached and moves. Not acceptable. Curtain rails but no curtains? Who took the curtains? Breakfast was reasonable. The guy, Nicola, serving coffee at breakfast was very good. Rooms were small. Have I mentioned the tiny black creatures that look like ants on the bedside table? I just hope they are not bed bugs. Check our guy was almost friendly and pleasant. Thanks to him. I must finish. Would we ever stay there again? Absolutely not. Would I recommend it? Absolutely not. Would I ask for my money back. Yes! Would I ever get it? I guess not!!

As a budget hotel option we were prepared for the rooms not to be amazing - and they were fine - but we didn’t reckon on the hotel-wide aircon system to not work properly in the two rooms we were offered. It seemed as if they knew it was a problem but had no solution. We eventually had to book another hotel for the last night as the heat has been in excess of 40 degrees every day. If you advertise air con then please supply it in a fully functioning state. No sleep for 4 nights = unhappy guests.

In itself a great room, but I could not discover what was "boutique" about it. The shower drain and sink did not drain. I always find that so annoying ... The hotel was in the middle of Lecce! That is an absolute plus. Breakfast with a lot of choices.

Great location near piazza duomo and the othermain piazza. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Everything was nice except the mattress was way to firm for me. Walkable to entire centro storico.

Basicly ok, but very poor wifi, which is nowadays unacceptable. Breakfast is avarege, we had better and worse as well. Location is perfect. Staff is very kind.

Nice staff. One of a kind hotel. Perfect location. Clean.

The location was excellent, room was comfortable, and staff was friendly. Just what I needed for a relaxing weekend away.

We received a room on the second floor, and only after we booked in were told that the lift was out of order. We had to climb a very difficult staircase to get to our room, so we tried to go up and down as little as possible. They refused to change our room on the first day, and only on the second day they changed our room to the first floor. The lift was not fixed for the entire duration of our stay. The room was very old fashioned, the mattress was smaller than the bed frame. The duvet did not have a cover. Breakfast was quite good. The hotel is in the old city, so we had to park outside the old city at paid parking and walk around 10 minutes to reach hotel. We would not stay here again.
