I liked the easy accessibility to St Padre Pio by simply crossing the street. The room was also very nice with a lovely pool to cool off. Excellent breakfast buffet.

The parking however in the garage was insufficient & the elevators were a bit slow.

The hotel was ok, not sure it is up to the 4 stars rating. The staff was nice but the room needed a proper renovation. The bathroom was old, same as the room itself and the bed very uncomfortable. Positive point is that it is located very close to the Padre Pio sanctuary

Under Construction & Uncomfortable matress

The property was either still under construction or have a major facelift. Looked like a building site when we arrived. Quite a shock! Booked a suite but not worth it, everything looked very cheap and unfinished. Fixtures and fittings very badly finished off. We were supposed to have a terrace but no terrace furniture as in photo. Staff delightful but property not at all as description! A disappointment

There was no air conditioning at this property. The building was under construction, so there was a lot of noise. The bathroom sink looks like broken particleboard.

The property was under renovation during the time that we were there so there’s some hint of construction dust when we checked in our room. Housekeeping was helpful in making it go away. The rooms were really nice and comfortable. It’s very modern and the washroom was squeaky clean. 10 min walk from Padre Pio Shrine. Access to it is right across the hotel. Highly recommended

Hotel walls are very thin. They had live entertainment until past midnight which could be heard on the 1st floor very clearly. Hotel elevators didn’t work properly and would stop at every floor. It’s a miracle I didn’t get food poisoning from the breakfast with moldy fruit out to serve and other items questionable. Smelled foul near the coffee machine. It made me question how often they clean their lines. Saw a housekeeper mopping the elevator and my husband and I used it right after. The air smelled musty like she used a rag that smelled like mildew to clean it up. The A/C was turned off in the whole building (until June) even though it was almost 80 degrees outside. We thought we would enjoy the last day of our busy vacation relaxing by the pool (one of the main reasons I booked this hotel) only to find out the pool was closed and not open until June 1st. It didn’t say that anywhere when I booked it. One day, when we returned from the beach, there were ants all over our room and in our suitcases. I went down to the front desk and told him all of the above and how their hotel is beautiful but the standards are low. I felt bad saying it but he needed to know. I don’t remember him apologizing or doing anything about it really. I told him I wanted to switch rooms bc of the ants and he let us have the room next door which was nice. Good location to St. Padre Pio shrine and the beds were comfortable but I wouldn’t recommend this place really.

It had seen better days. Still decent deal.

Probably it was a great hotel back in the days when is was built, it has seen better days, it is aging. Had issues with one room and had to change it. The central A/C was too hot and there was no way to adjust it other than open the window. Our stay was in 12/25 so food options were very limited. Ask all questions you have if you decide to go to the pricey restaurant at the hotel, you may get surprised when the bill comes. No one spoke fluent English. But can’t complain about the cost of the stay, still decent value and good location.

We booked this hotel because it was near Cathedral of Padre Pio (4 hrs away from Rome with a 33 Euros toll/way), we have been planning to visit since ever. Indeed it was only 3 mins away by car to the church. The hotel is good but it is more like 3+ star rating, not 4 stars. Staff are either zero English (reception) or very rude (restaurant, they kept staring and laughing at us). Moreover, the room was very basic and good amenities but no flip flops. Breakfast is all sugar based, with 1 plate of ham and cheese. We got snowed in the second day we arrived, and it was very hard to communicate with the staff to ask for help, we were saved that one receptionist spoke Spanish and we did also. Underground parking. All in all, it is a good hotel for one night stay to visit padre pio, but not more since there is nothing to do around.

We stayed two night with a stay in Peschici in between. The first night we had a room with a shared balcony which allowed us to have a lovely dinner by ourselves but the tv didn’t work. The second stay we had no balcony and the AC didn’t work but the tv did. We didn’t say anything to hotel staff so maybe we could have had both nights in a room with a balcony and working tv and ac. Otherwise breakfast was a good buffet and the pool was great to cool off after a hot day. The center of town is fairly close by and is lovely in the evening with a lot of life from the locals.

Never again

Our first impression of the hotel was good although room was warm when we arrived, air con not operational . Spoke with main desk who said if it got any worse to come back to them, which we complied with. Lasted until half way through holiday but heat increasing , so reported this again and reception staff on duty said she would switch on air con but that it would not be effective till evening. During that day the heat from air con unit intensified to unbearable levels, we reported this to reception girl on duty who was unhelpful however the bar girl asked to see room which we complied with and she was horrified at the heat and reported this to the girl on reception who said wait till 21:30 and speak with colleague. We did he came to the room and agreed to warm and switched off air con unit at fuse box but said nothing can be done tonight just open door.We asked to speak with manager said it would be in the morning he would leave a note for manager. Our night was horrendous so much so that we booked a hotel elsewhere for remainder of holiday. Manager not in next morning left reception to deal with complaint but offered an upgrade which we declined due to previous evenings treatment. In addition to room problem we found not enough staff on to run hotel had to ask at reception for drinks at the bar. There was a function on over weekend and swimming pool was cordoned off so we were unable to use, mentioned this to reception who stated that it was to cold to use anyway.

Great location for visiting Padre Pio Shrine

Comfortable hotel close to major Padre Pio sites. Be prepared to walk uphill to church and shrine. No restaurants nearby: they are mostly up the hill near the church. Travelled to San Giovanni Rotondo from Foggia by regional bus, then needed taxi to get to hotel. Check in was easy, room was ready. Felt like off-season as hotel was not very busy and extensive outdoor grounds not being used. Location was perfect for us because our focus was on visiting Padre Pio and we are used to walking.

The restaurant food is local and awesome,I would opt for a full/partial board in as the service and quality is MUCH better than outside. 5stars to the chef. 5stars to the hard working staff in the restaurant, they are ever so welcoming and are welcoming to even to explain the menu if you are foreigner.
A must mention is Taxi officer Nicola organised tru hotel who went out of the way when our family member was ill. He went all the way out to communicate with the doctors in Italian and stayed with us for the whole process - really humbled and grateful. Thank you and God Bless Nicola :-).

Great Hotel for the Money

The Hotel itself was fantastic! comfortable room, balcony, great breakfast. This was the nicest hotel we stayed at in Italy, and it was also the cheapest.

I think my only complaint is the lack of nearby amenities outside of the hotel. What was around seemed to be closed (we were their a little before peak season - May 1st). It was very short walk to visit Padre Pio (which is the only real reason were there), so it was a great choice for us.

Not What We Expected

We stayed in this hotel as an overnight stay before we reached our destination of Rimini. I only chose this hotel based off the location and the pictures from Hotels.com. Here is what sums up our stay: If you don't know who Padre Pio is, or you aren't extremely religious, then this town and hotel is NOT for you. We were even warned by the bartender at this hotel to stay close and not wander around the town at night. The hotel is the only decent thing in the town, but the people were generally unfriendly toward us - Some of the staff were down-right rude. We were the only family staying on the 2nd floor, so they had the entire wing turned 'off.' No lights in the hallways, windows boarded up. The restaurant was sub-par in taste, but still expensive. Best thing about the hotel? The pool. It was an all-around creepy and uncomfortable feeling and the worst stay in our 30-day vacation around Italy.

This hotel is of very good quality for San Giovanni and provides great access to the new St. Pio basilica as long as you do not have mobility problems because you have to walk up a very steep hill to get there.

Great place to stay

This hotel is right at the foot of the new walk-way going up the opposite side (from the entrance) of the shrine to the crypt church. Huge and beautiful hotel (very large and slightly impersonal) but it has lovely rooms and excellent service. We felt the restaurant was nice but there was nothing remarkable about it.

We were there for the feast day of Padre Pio with tons of people at the hotel (busloads!) but we never felt crowded, rushed or made to wait. The view of the shrine and surrounding area is beautiful. It is a small uphill climb to the shrine from the hotel but since it is a climb uphill from any other hotel, this does not matter. Will definitely use this hotel again.

great location for Padre Pio

Lovely hotel, great location. A little difficult when the receptionist doesn't speak a word of English.

Great Location and Clean

Very nice looking hotel. Very clean - nice rooms and nice pool. You cannot beat the location - we were there to see the church where Padre Pio resided and it was a wonderful location. Noise levels were a little loud at night - not good sound barriers between the rooms but ear plugs could solve that. Restaurant prices a little high so we ate in the nearby village which was very nice. Best breakfast buffet we had while in Italy. It was excellent.

HOTEL CLOSE TO SANCTUARY

We had trouble finding the hotel and two police officers were kind enough to escort us there. We were very impressed. The hotel was very nice. The complimentary breakfast was the best we had during our two week vacation at other hotels. The buffet had a large selection. As we checked in the hotel clerk was a little frustrated being we didn't speak Italian but the manager was very kind and was happy to help us. Very nice accommodations for the price.
