호텔 델리 하에데이

Not having visited Otranto previously, we chose this hotel as our initial base for three to four days. Thankfully we only booked the first night here. We arrived about 12:30 and while we didn’t expect our room to be ready, we didn’t expect to be told check in was 17:00. As it’s heading into off-season on 25th September, we thought that they possibly would be able to prioritise getting a room ready for us. So we went for lunch arriving back about 3pm and still had to wait for our room. Our room was ready for us about 3:30pm. The air conditioning is centrally controlled and I asked for it to be set low at 18 or 19 degrees but that was not done. Additionally the air con rattled all night. Due to engineering work outside, there was no Wi-Fi at all. In this day and age, Wi-Fi is a basic need. This is probably the main reason we decided on the day we arrived to find somewhere else for the rest of our stay. The hotel is also quite a trek from the centre of town - we knew that booking it - and we possibly would have stayed had everything else been good. To cap things off, breakfast was dreadful! I appreciate that breakfast in Italy is different to what we are used to. If you like cake for breakfast then this is a winner - about 8 types to choose from! But if you like croissants, they were dreadful. Either over baked or left over from the previous day. They didn’t have butter or ketchup (if you fly a British flag outside the establishment, these two are a staple!!). Fruit salad came from a tin. The icing on the cake then was the €2 person city tax. We have paid only €1 each in other B&Bs.

Prima hotel, zal wel haar best moeten blijven doen om de 4 sterren te behouden. Onderhoud op korte termijn is noodzakelijk.

Pour voyager souvent, il est loin d'un hôtel 4* selon les normes européennes. Plusieurs manquements dans les chambres, au petit déjeuner.

Belle piscine
