Fairly Spartan room given the price (although could be good value for Otranto which is popular?). Nice reception area and underground parking is a bonus. It was the availability of parking that influenced our choice but be aware that the entrance is very tricky – not for the nervous or the large car and there is a limited number of spaces. I seem to recall that there was suggestion on some website that the rooms had a sea view but at check-in we were told that only the one suite had a sea view.
Although a fairly large room (110) it had no bath and poor storage space for clothes. Quite a useful set of shelves had been placed on top of the wardrobe apparently to make room for a makeshift desk. Two of the 4 bulbs in the room didn’t work and it was late on the second evening before they were replaced – it required an electrician to change a lightbulb! I didn’t mention that the safe wasn’t working either. The room was above the front door on a busy steet corner and,since the airconditioning appeared to have been de-activated we had to open the windows and let the noise in.
Breakfast was fairly basic but that was understandable in off-season. The restaurant was a lovely airy room on the top floor with nice views.
The location of the hotel is very good – close to the old town and the promenade.
Otranto is a nice town worth a couple of nights (we used the day for a side trip into Lecce) and we would go back However we would try a different hotel next time.

We drove from Rome to Castro. The best spot by far was Otranto. The city is wonderful, offering food, swimming and shopping all within walking distance. We stayed in Hotel Albania which was superb. Clean, modern, free internet in the lobby, restaurant located on the top floor overlooking the whole region, excellent food. Loved it!

This was our second stay in the Hotel Albania, having previously stayed there in Summer 2007. It's a very comfortable, modern 3* hotel situated on the edge of the beautiful 'Old Town'. Accommodation is of a very good standard with nice rooms that are kept spotlessly clean. Breakfasts on the sun terrace overlooking the bay are excellent with a good variety of fresh fruit. The staff are very friendly & attentive. We would definitely recommend the HOTEL ALBANIA & OTRANTO.

I just returned from a cycle trip in Puglia, and I spent one evening in the Albania Hotel.
I would highly recommend staying there. The location, staff, room, breakfast were all top shelf.
