Akropolis Hotel

Good location in the centre of the old town.

The room was guite cold

Probably the best independent hotel of its class that I have used in Italy in recent years.

The only thing that might put you off is that the access road is a bit daunting being fairly narrow, between high stone buildings, no pavements, and probably best done in daylight, at least the first time.

Located in the old town of Taranto, the surrounding area looked rundown, but it was quite interesting and not dangerous at all. The hotel itself was good with clean room, English-speaking staff, and big top-floor terrace with great view.

They have a secure indoor parking, but the space and the street leading to the hotel are rather narrow and not really recommended for big cars.

The hotel is in a great location in the old town. The staff were really friendly and welcoming; the dining experience here is great - parts of the floor are glass and you can see down to the cellars. Special thanks for opening up the breakfast room extra early for me - opening up before 6am so I could catch a train at a ridiculous hour was very much appreciated.
