To provide background, I stayed 1 night as I had a flight into Brindisi airport which landed at 19.30 and was heading north the next day, therefore I booked an inexpensive room for the night. I wasn't expecting luxury but the standard of hotel / room was low. The hotel has a prime position and the view from outside is wonderful. Inside, it's all faded glory and in need of modernisation. The room was very small, not comfortable and hot. Opening a window onto roof and next room's open window was unsatisfactory. Check in took a very long time, 1 receptionist and no apology for length of wait. Breakfast enjoyable but overall, cannot rate this any higher. I do not recommend.
