Un "piccolo" angolo del mondo
Di veramente piccolo è il bagno, ma grazie alla gentile accoglienza, alla camera luminosa e confortevole, alla posizione comoda e strategica e alla pulizia degli ambienti è stata una bella e breve permanenza...un "piccolo" angolo del mondo dove tornerei, grazie

Posizione ottima vicino al centro. Colazione servita a vicino bar. Parcheggio abbastanza facile nelle strade limitrofi. Bagno un po’ piccolo. Carenza prese corrente per ricarica cellulare ma basta munirsi di presa tripla ... personale gentile e disponibile. Molto pulito e silenzioso. Lo consiglio per brevi soggiorni. Matera !

pessimo
Siamo stati al piccolo hotel solo per una notte e il soggiorno è stato pessimo. All’arrivo abbiamo trovato una signora molto gentile, che ci ha spiegato Matera e consigliato qualche ristorante. Lei è stata l’unica nota positiva del soggiorno qui. La camera era pulita in modo approssimativo e si sentiva qualsiasi tipo di rumore, anche lo scarico delle altre stanze. Non abbiamo dormito per tutta la notte, i letti sono scomodissimi ed è pieno di polvere. Tornati in albergo verso le 22.30, ci è stato chiesto di saldare subito il conto, premetto che avevano la carta di credito, quindi si poteva aspettare la mattina, di certo non saremmo scappati. La receptionist trovata la sera e la mattina della partenza è scortese e non professionale. Nel complesso è stato un pessimo soggiorno, di certo non torneremo

Prezzo eccessivo rispetto alla stanza e ai servizi offerti considerando che si definiscono un 3 stelle. Il bagno in stanza molto molto piccolo, quasi inaccessibile; colazione con scarsa scelta per un 3 stelle, il tavolino non era neanche apparecchiato, "saletta colazione" senza riscaldamento. la struttura è priva di ascensore nonostante abbia stanze al secondo piano. Molto deludente!!

Matera da scoprire
Albergo vicinissimo al centro di Matera dove nelle vicinanze, con un po’ di fortuna, potete trovare un parcheggio gratuito.
Camera piccola ma funzionale e pulita.
Molto cortese e gentile Maria Grazia all’accettazione, migliorabile la cordialità e la disponibilità di Pinkie.
Colazione poco abbondante.

Central and small hotel, but not worth the money I paid for a single room. I had quite a few questions about the area,but instead of helping me they rather referred to a travel agency in the neighbourhood. Had heavy lugggage and there was no elevator. Rather poor breakfast with a selction of biscuits and a dry "cornetto".

Dietro al centro storico di Matera
Alberghetto ristrutturato di recente, molto carino e comodo per visitare il centro storico e la zona dei sassi. La zona è tranquilla e silenziosa anche la sera e intorno il parcheggio è in strada ma si trova facilmente. Il personale è cordiale
