“OMG this place is terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We took an Italian tour and one of our stops for two nights was this hotel in San Giovanni Rotondo from July 25 through July 27, 2010. It was the worst and I would not even consider staying there again. When we entered our room there was a strong chlorine smell that permeated throughout the room along with a strong urine smell. Our friends who had the room next door had the chlorine smell as well as feces smell. We attempted to inquire at the front desk about the smells, but were just blown off by the clerk. Our tour guide inquired in Italian and was told there were "purifying the water." The water smell was so horrible that none of us on the tour could shower or brush our teeth. In the United States it would have been a HASMAT situation. My lungs felt like they had the fumes from the chlorine in them for days after we left. We had to buy bottled water to brush our teeth with. I would not recommend this hotel ever and will never stay there again. The room itself was dirty with hair on the floor (and the hair did not belong to us). It doesn't bother me if rooms are small but a traveler should at least be able to have a clean room and be able to shower. In addition, the staff was rude and the food was not good.

“Basic - location good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2010

Location within San Giovanni perfect - main attraction a short walk across the road. Rooms very basic and cold. Tiled throughout - noise a huge issue from hall ways and adjoining rooms. Dated decor. Rooms were on 1st floor noise from reception carried upwards - especailly if large tour parties booked in. Receptionists indifferent and unhelpful. Waiting staff in restaurant very helpful as didn't have italian and tried their best with their limited English. Food good.

“Nice hotel in quiet peaceful location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

Stayed here for a 4 day visit, arrived after a long journey from Rome. The girl on the desk didnt speak much English. Hotel has a beautiful exterior, nice pool area although to get to it you had to climb down a narrow spiral staircase. Hotel reception / lobby was very clean with plenty of comfortable seating. Rooms were basic but adequate, shower head could do with been changed & shower doors need a good clean as mould is growing on them. We had 2 rooms beside each other with a large balcony although there was scaffolding up in front of it with work men all day. The purpose of our holiday was to visit the Padre Pio Shrine which was about a 10 min hilly walk from this hotel. However a nights stay in this area would be enough as there's not much else to do & very little English spoke, Oh & there appears to be only 1 taxi for a very large area! Breakfast in the hotel is not good with very little choice, I would advise anyone just to get a room only. Air conditioning is so so, it shuts down every night at 11, also reception area shuts at this time as I went down during night because our electricity kept tripping and there was no one around not even a porter! If I did return to this area I would stay here again due to its proximity to the Shrine & it looks the best hotel around.
