Reviews of Lobby Collective Hostel - Lecce

Very friendly stuff, comfortable hostel with everything needed

A bit far from the city center but there is a bus stop near the hostel. Breakfast wasn’t good though, doesn’t worth €5.

Kitchen, large bedroom with locker and air conditioner. New facility. Able to check in after hours. Bus outside gate.

If someone in our bedroom had the window open, air con does not work.

I stayed at Lobby Collective Hostel for a week, mixing work and leisure, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The facilities are excellent — there’s a silent room fully equipped with a desk, sofa, air conditioning, and great interior design, ideal for working remotely. That attention to detail extends throughout the entire space. Check-in was easy, the kitchen is well-equipped, and they offer breakfast for those who wish to purchase it. My room was clean, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the staff was incredibly helpful. If you’re traveling on a budget, this hostel truly delivers on all fronts.

Nothing

Close enough to walk to old city.

Nothing comes to mnd.

I have been to many hostels, but this one was literally one of the best. Very clean and well organized.

In general it's OK. Good wifi, extra wide showers/ wc, good wifi, good equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and all clean. Looks refurbished soon

The strange rule that you can't use the air conditioning before 3 pm. So, to be correct they must change their booking offer and declare limited air conditioning instead of air conditioning. I can't believe, after all you've done to make it a nice place, to have such a ridiculous rules. Even if you ask, they will not turn it on, all automated. Location. It's far from everything you may need as a tourist. Room was very basic.

I absolutely loved my stay at Lobby, definitely felt like home! The kitchen is big and fully equipped, there’s a cozy space to chill and watch TV, and the rooms are clean and spacious. The whole vibe is super relaxed and welcoming. The host was amazing – so helpful, kind, and genuinely nice. And the best part? Right in front of the hostel, there’s a bus stop for the city’s public transport, plus a supermarket just steps away. Don’t think twice – just book it! You won’t regret it!

Nice hostel, very nice breakfast

No complaints

The best hostel from my trip in Puglia. I was well received and the accommodations were very good.

The atmosphere,the people,it's also very orderly and clean

All was super!Clean,frendly,corect!

Great hostel, clean and tidy bathrooms and comfy beds. Easy to get into town via the regular bus, and very friendly and helpful staff made the stay a pleasure.

Nothing:)

We took the private room with two single beds and it was very confortable, especially the beds. The shared showers were ok, a bit small but clean. Same for the toilets. All in all, a good hostel for a couple of night, especially if you have a car (lot of free parking).

There was music all the time in the corridor and it’s kinda annoying. Also, we took once the breakfast at 5e and were very disappointed. We don’t recommand it (coffee with no taste and not a lot to eat even thought we arrived at 9.30)

Everything was simply great - the facilities, the team, the comfort, the social life. Definitely will come back!

When you ring the bell or open the door, the sound of Pavarotti singing welcomes you. Which is awesome. Flavio, a man at the reception, was friendly but also extremely helpful. He helped improve my stay in Lecce which I didn't plan in too great a detail beforehand. Flavio recommended good restaurants nearby according to my preferences. There's a grocery named DOK supermercati less than five minutes away from the place. It's open until 9 pm which is helpful if you're out the whole day as I was for the conference. And once Flavio learned the reason I needed to depart early in the morning my last day was to catch the morning flight from the Brindisi airport, he advised me to use the train rather than the airshuttle bus which my conference organizers advised prior to my stay. His advice was helpful. The train station is much closer to the hostel than the bus station. I think I walked to the train in 25 minutes. I didn't mind the much longer walk to the airshuttle bus stop my first day of stay because I planned to do sightseeing in the city centre my first day. I loved the place, Lecce is stunning. If you like baroque and antiquity and Italy, you will love Lecce as I do now. My last day, I would have to use the taxi to catch the airshuttle bus. So Flavio helped me spare the taxi ride by directing me to the train. The train ride is also cheaper than the airshuttle bus ride. My train ran on time and in Brindisi at the station, there's a bus stop right in front of the building. The bus is headed for the Brindisi airport and I think it is operated by the train company. I didn't need to buy a separate ticket for that bus. If you need to wait a quarter of hour like I did, there's a nice caffeteria at the station in Brindisi.

I was satisfied overall. Perhaps one annoying fact is that the place is a little bit out of the city centre. The public transportation connection to the centre is also not really great. At least I didn't find the connection useful and instead walked to the city center on feet. It's something like half an hour walk. Along the way, you walk the lengthy Leuca street which is nice, filled with tiny shops and nice places to eat, talk, or get a men's haircut. Taking into account the price-quality ratio, this accommodation is really a great choice if you don't like pricy hotels or if you prefer the hostel vibe and the company of nice people. Hostel offers optional breakfast I think for 5 euros. Which is always good to have and which I enjoyed for the price which I think is reasonable. One thing I should also mention is that I probably contracted some skin disease from the key to my room. The key looks like watches which you wear on your wrist. My last day I realized I contracted some skin disease which it took two weeks to heal. Was I the reason or was there something on the Key before I arrived? I will not know. But perhaps the key wasn't purified before it was given to me. Perhaps the hostel takes some preventive measure next time and organize some purification into the process. Until then, assure that your key is purified. Let the hostel know if you have some skin issue when you arrive.
