Akropolis Hotel

Et dejligt hotel beliggende i den gl. by del af Tranto. Tæt på havnefronten og et par rigtig gode restauranter. På ca. 25min. kan man gå til en lille lokal badestrand hvor de sælger drikkevarer direkte fra fryseren.....super hyggeligt og billige for øl og vand. Vil I opleve det originale syd Italien så besøg Tranto´s gl. by del og bo på Akropolis.

The Hotel had a very refined ambience. I believe it stands on an ancient site that was once used for the storage of grain during times of Siege. There were Museum quality artifacts everywhere and I don't think they were reproductions. My room was spacious and comfortable. I had two balconies one for each window. Very handy for my tendency to do some sink laundry and hang it out to dry. Good mini fridge with two bottles of water per day. Breakfast was pretty good and the cappuccini were delicious. It was very close to almost everything I wanted to see in the Centro Storico and elsewhere. They gave me a good restaurant recommendation. The front desk clerk when I checked in was especially impressive but the entire staff was good to great. Very good elevator. I didn't get to try the bar but it looked well appointed. The little lounge area in the foyer of the entrance was comfortable and well decorated.

On my second day I went to breakfast fairly late and a lot of the supplies and food had run out. There were no knives. No whole wheat toast. But give them credit when I asked for these things they were given to me.

Very good assistance of staff during early check in, Good breakfast

Nice hotel in the center of Taranto but difficult to park a car, Wifi no working properly in the room,

Perfect breakfast and location of the hotel!

Parking place

lovely hotel but a parts of the bathroom were a bit tired & could do with a minor refurbishment. the staff were excellent & couldn’t be more helpful if they tire recommending places to eat. that it was the towns saints day. even down to correcting my poor Italian.

the small size of the hotel, it’s location worked for me. Although many tourists would not appreciate being in a rundown area. personally I think Toranto has a huge job omits hands but lots of potential in its old town & round the fishing pot on the small sea,

Déjà la vieille ville de Tarente est infréquentable : insécurité, insalubrité, palais abandonnés, et cet hotel est dans cette zone qui est une ZTL = amende très lourde par des caméras? Et quand j'ai demandé l'hotel s'il était dans la ZTL et une "Alessia " a répondu non. Donc elle a menti mais elle nie avoir menti donc c'est ce genre de personnel qui "travaille" et surtout parle beaucoup que vous allez rencontrer. Non seulement elle m'a envoyé dans une zone qui va coûter cher, mais l'hotel payera,le cas échéant puisque son personnel a menti. Et je suis passée à la police locale en charge de la ZTL : elle m'a dit que l'hotel devait envoyer un document pour m'exonérer de l'amende et cette charmante Alessia a refusé alors que c'est une procédure normale. Elle a appelé les carabinieri qui n'ont rien à voir avec les ZTL sans doute pour me faire peur. Mais cela n'a fait que renforcer ma détermination d'obtenir justice. Elle a hurlé une explication pendant une demi-heure , en couvrant ma voix et s'imposant alors que sa présence n'était pas désirée. Bref je vous laisse apprécier la qualité et la grande classe du personnel de cet hotel qui est à éviter, tout comme la vieille ville et Taranto. Aucun intérêt touristique. Et vous n'avez pas que la ZTL comme piège qui attend les touristes car rien n'est en anglais. La route autour de la vieille ville a 2 voies : une où vous recevez une amende et une où vous pouvez circuler mais le panneau est en italien.

Great place, amazing management and lovely location

L'Hotel è situato in Taranto Vecchia. Non si potevano, quindi, pretendere ampi spazi in un edificio antico. Tuttavia la pulizia avrebbe potuto essere MOLTO migliore. I vetri delle finestre erano sporchissimo , il piccolo balcone era ricoperto da un dito di melma verdastra. Una nota positiva è stata la gentilezza delle receptionist che si è prodigata per procurarci un posto macchina visto che il misero garage dell'Hotel aveva esaurite la disponibilità
