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.

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.

State of the art hostel

It's off season so not many other guests to interact with, but that's probably entirely different in summer!

Lobby Collective is a no-nonsense hostel about 30 minutes walking from Lecce's historic center. There's a good supermarket across the road where you can buy anything for your meals prepped in the shared kitchen and enjoyed in their sunny garden. Staff is friendly, rooms are comfy enough, and shared spaces are clean and useful. There's an easy self check-in system if you arrive after 8pm. Bonus: They warmly welcome cyclists like myself!

There was an issue with the balcony doors when it was raining. Water always found a way to get in, and it flooded the room each time.

Price and the nice staff

Air conditioning only works at night (8:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m.); however, with high daytime temperatures, air conditioning during the day would be useful.

Typical Italian breakfast. The room and bathrooms were kept clean throughout my stay. The staff was very polite and open (when I arrived at night, I met a receptionist on the street who took me to the hotel, even though she had already finished work, and helped me collect the card). The location is outside the center, but there is a bus stop right next to the hostel, from which you can get to the center.

One of the best hostels I’ve been to! Clean and comfortable facilities, great kitchen, everything is organized and well thought out without being obnoxious. The hostel is super social, staff is wonderful, special shoutout to Antonio for community dinners and karaoke nights, it’s been an unforgettable experience!

Very clean and tidy, staff were professionele and nice

It has a social environment for those who want it, and a quiet environment for those who don't. It is half an hour away from the center, but access to needed services is easy. Breakfast was simple but delicious. The employees were friendly and helpful. Generally it has a good ambiance.

I do not fancy additional city tax of nearly 10% of the ticket price to be honest. Also, it is a bit of a walking distance from central areas, which is still fine.

The hostel itself was quite good looking and comfortable with an excellen hang-out area. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was large enough and the bed was great. The facilities were satisfactory and the terrace was nicely accessible and peaceful.
