    A lot of facilities such as fully equipped kitchen with coffee marker, place to leave or find free food (zero waste ;)) , library to change books , a lot of common space... I Like that kind of hostels!

    The only thing would like to remind is maybe it’ll be very hot in summer as there’s no air conditioners in the room.

    Excellent location and super friendly staffs, including the volunteer girl. The hostel provides very detailed tourist advice and most of tourist spots with train/bus timetable, so I spent a splendid week at Lecce even I travel alone. The room is spacious and the bed is quite comfortable.

    The communal kitchen could use a fresh towel for hand washing and more fresh towels for dish drying. A clean cloth for wiping surfaces only with some white vinegar would be nice.

    Staff was friendly, great location, garden with ripe fruit, fresh herbs, private balcony.

    Very Good
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Double or Twin Room with Terrace
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I don't think I knew I'd be sleeping on a twin bed. Maybe more help with suggestions on activities, day trips, hooking up guests with unique stuff to do. Heads up that it's a major holiday in town and stuff will be closed!

    This hostel was SUPER clean and really cheery with lots of different areas to discover, and a lovely outdoor part. It's very close to the old town and also the train station, although if you have large/heavy luggage, it'll be a bit of a struggle to walk (it's about 13 minutes) and the taxi charged me 15 Euros, which was 5 Euros more than I was quoted at reception. That was a shock. And it's literally a 3 minute ride. Aside from that, my private room was super cute (twin bed was a change for me though), it was sunny, had a little terrace, good bathroom, closet, etc. The kitchen had a mocha to make coffee on the stove and they had free coffee you could use. It was just a slow time in Lecce with few trains, buses, activities, etc. That was a bummer. I bet it's different in the high season.

    The staff was unfriendly and that didn't feel good at all. For instance, there was one train cancelled when I was in a very small town far from Lecce and instead of helping to find a solution for the check in (it finishes at 8 pm) the answer was sending me the train's schedules saying I had many options. I had to ask to the train worker to send them an audio in order to get a solution for my non expected late arrival. Besides that, they told me even doing the self-check in I had to be there at 9 pm which was not true at and made me rush between delayed trains when there was no need at all.

    The hostel has all the facilities, nice common spaces and the 3 people room was perfectly ok. The garden is a nice area and the cats are an extra plus.

    I can't think of anything really apart from mosquitos which no one can do anything about. However, the hostel had a decent amount of repellents available for use.

    The location is close to the train station and old town. My room was really nice and clean plus the toilets were roomy and clean. The building itself is very interesting and it has a relaxing and nice garden. The staff puts a lot of effort into informing guests of all interesting events and tours, as well useful service information. The whole vibe of the hostel is super relaxing. I feel I could stay here forever😀

    The beds weren’t the most comfy, but not the worst I’ve had either. Would be nice with air conditioning especially in the summer, but we managed

    The facilities were perfect, a lot of shared common space that felt comfortable and clean. Only had 4 beds per room even though they could of easily fit more but it made the space feel so much more open and nice. Soo many helpful recommendations and resources for getting around puligia, which was so convenient. Staff were also lovely!

    The place to stay in Lecce!

    Urban Oasis is an outstanding property in Lecce; location is perfect and there is tons of tourist information available everywhere throughout the shared spaces. Solare was particularly helpful and personable; she really went out of her way to recommend things to me based on my interests (nightlife, restaurants, tourist sites and museums, etc.) She also helped me book a boat tour for a time after I was leaving the hostel. I felt safe and the accommodations were terrific. I highly recommend staying here - my room was enormous and clean in addition to all of the perks Urban Oasis offers. (I didn't love the shower curtain...)

    The wifi tends to cut off in the rooms, but seemed to always work well in the common areas. There is no AC in the rooms so sometimes it can get a bit too hot, but usually with the ventilators on each bed it’s fine to sleep.

    Everything is amazing, best hostel I’ve stayed at. People are also incredible, beds are very comfy, staff is amazing, always willing to help and super kind. Garden is gorgeous, kitchen very well equipped, bathrooms and rooms super clean, nice common rooms. Very well located. I extended my stay because the quality-price was amazing.
