Hotel l'Approdo — Hotel in Brindisi

Warning for people who will fall into the trap of 3* hotel. This place should have minimum 1* if not 0*

The hotel is situated next to a very busy road and during the night there are constantly noisy cars and especially motorcycles driving back and forward. The hotel is not maintained well at all and you can hear all the noises through the windows that are not correctly sealed. (Basically they don't close up at all because they are old) Without earplugs sleeping here is impossible. Keep that in mind. Also the walls and doors are to thin that you can hear what's going on in the next room and on the corridor.

The hotel is filthy even though they clean it every day, it's ridiculous because as you can see from the photos it's disgusting. All they do is to sweep the floor and change the bin bag and wipe off the visible surface no deep clean recorded. Bathroom was extremely filthy as you can see from attached photos. Mould inside the shower absolutely unacceptable.

This place is some sort of a bad joke and should be downgraded so people won't get confused once they fall into this trap of 3* hotel. It's not. This place should be closed down and renovated because nothing has been changed here since the 80s.

Also air conditioning installed in the room has not been cleaned since I guess the beginning because once you take a look inside you can see full of black mould and dust. Sneezing constantly may give you an idea of how dirty rooms really are. People running this hotel stopped in early 90s and since then nothing has been properly upgraded and maintained. Shocking but true.

The cherry on the cake was the fact when I asked one of the receptionist if I could leave my backpack at the reception for few hours due to having flight in the evening he abruptly told me I can only leave it outside the reception on the hallway and only for 2 hours, so they dont take any responsibility for it. Seriously no words to describe the level of hospitality in this bad...

Firstly the guy on the desk was friendly enough and the hotel is a very short and easy walk from the town centre but those are the only positives I can find.|The room was dirty, other people’s hair on the floor etc. The electrics looked like they were about to start a fire. The air conditioning was noisy, as was the plumbing and there was all sorts of noise from outside until late.|But what really got to me was that we paid extra to have breakfast...what a joke that was, we were given a coffee each and there was fruit juice (just orange), some yogurt and some kind of bread that resembled a croissant but was packaged in a plastic wrapper. |There was also some corn flakes but no bowl or milk.|We sat and waited for some fresh bread and croissants and maybe some fruit to be brought in but it didn’t happen. The stuff available looked like it had come from the local Lidl and god knows how long it had been there.||We had to stop a few miles down the road and purchase another breakfast because the one at the hotel was inedible!||Oh and the two fat ladies that seem to live there and sit outside chain smoking are a bit...

I arrived the airport in Brindisi after picking up my car at Alamo/Locauto and dealing with an extremely pushy and rude service girl I headed to Hotel L'Approdo to pickup my friend.||||Upon walking I asked in very polite Italian if she was there. He said just run up and check. ||||I sat down instead and tried sending her a text.||||He decided to call her room ||She was there.||She came down and said hello||||I started to go up with her to grab her bags to leave||||And he shouts where are you going||||I looked perplexed||||I was thinking didn't this idiot just tell me to go up?||||I said in Italian I am going up to get her bags and we are leaving||||Leaving? He said||||Yeah leaving ||||She already paid what is the problem? You just told me to go up a second ago||||My friend doesn't understand Italian and was very confused ||||Anyway I grabbed her bags and we drove off||||Whatever this guy is...
