Could do better

There was no welcome when we arrived at the Hotel. We were told of many things we could not do. We had not booked breakfast and they were unable to provide breakfast. We had a 5 night stay at a 4 star hotel and they were unable to provide breakfast - this is a first in 45 years of international travel.
When we were shown to the room we were told NOT to use the jacuzzi bath.
Further the hotel car park we were told would be €15 / night.
During the stay I reviewed the conditions of our booking and found the car park was €10 / night - they reluctantly agreed. on check out, to the revised price when I showed the condition.
Further the conditions stated they are multilingual (English, Italian, French) - if using a telephone app to translate counts as multilingual, then yes.
Further the conditions stated that front desk is 24 hours - we can only speak for the daytime and it was never fully manned. Walking into reception was at times like the Marie Celeste.

A nice location very close to the Port, the beach and town. Lots of places to eat within a few steps. The staff was friendly and attentive. The only issue we had was that the A/C in our room was not working when we checked in. It took 1 day to get it fixed. Since it was the end of May they had not switched from heating to cooling yet. Everything was fine the next morning.

The hotel was very charming. It is in a great location for walking. We went at a slow time of year, so not a lot happening around us. The hotel was spotless, the staff were friendly and we enjoyed our stay!

Take a pass on this hotel

The hotel is tired and in need of refurbishment. Walls and doors are marred with years worth of dirty fingerprints. Carpeting is tired. Clerk who checked us in was slow and demanded that we leave our passports with her so she could enter our information at her leisure. On our second attempt to retrieve our passports, we found the front desk empty and several passports and ID cards lined up on a counter behind the desk unattended. After several attempts to find the clerk, we just took our passports. There is no valet parking (at least during the winter months) and the breakfast is subpar. There are a couple of cereal choices, yogurts that were room temperature, pastries, and no hot foods. I had a hard boiled egg that was rotten and slimy when I peeled the egg.

Great location

Perfect location - sea was a bit poor as the water wasn’t exactly clean. Any the locality of the hotel was a stones throw to the old town where one can eat very well there. Vegan ice cream across the road!

Hotel is a bit dated and tired. Great staff!

The room seems musty and old. The view looked directly into someone's apartment. Breakfast was in basement and it seems \"cold war-like\"...stark and cold. Breakfast was OK. They just left us underwhelmed with everything except the terrific front desk staff which were really helpful. Another plus was the location was perfect for walking the old town.

Clean facility and pleasant staff

Okay hotel. Staff very pleasant with limited English but that not a problem. Location okay walkable to old city and beaches. Just late in season for this area. Hotel was clean and nicely maintained. Mattress a little flat/saggy and pillows far from fluffy.

Cleanliness of room/hotel and quality of service

Maybe due to low season the hotel service offered is quite minimal. There is no one attending in the reception after 8pm. The room was only cleaned up after moving in.

Vieste, during Winter

The hotel itself has seen better days, though was best available accommodation in Vieste at the time of our visit. The room was reasonably large and clean, though somewhat stark.

The staff of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful.
The continental breakfast was very basic, just so so.

The old city, nearby is atmospheric and very interesting to walk through. Most of the shops and restaurants are closed in Winter (off-season). The Palace Hotel Vieste is potentiallly the best option in town if you are in Vieste during this time of year.

Typical medium quality older hotel

Well maintained and clean older hotel in great location. Room a little stuffy, no cross breeze. Bed could have been more comfortable...breakfast in a basement level room with no windows. Being a beach resort town, would have liked more fresh air. Overall staff friendly and helpful.

Perfect location with attentative services

Location was perfect, very close to old part for dinner and stroll, to the beach (we never felt a need to use shuttle) and the port to take a ferry to Tremiti islands. No shutter for the window but they put temporary black-out cloth to hung on our request and we did have better sleep from the next day. Good selection for breakfast and good advice for restaurants etc. We would definitely stay at this hotel again if we are around.

Great value for a beautiful hotel.

Stayed 4 full days. Highly recommend. Run by sweet family who bend over backwards to please you. Completely remodeled into a hotel 7 years ago. Lobby: Beautiful marble everywhere and Murano glass sconces, beautiful sofas & chairs, TV, little tables & chairs. WONDERFUL breakfast every morning included during our stay. Free shuttle to beach associated with hotel, no charge for chair & umbrella. Wifi Internet good in lobby plus they have a lobby computer for guests. We speak no Italian, but 2 hotel clerks, Angela & Francesco, went way above & beyond to help us translate with family visitors. Outstanding service! To get to Vieste, nearest airport is Bari. if you fly into Bari & choose 3-hour bus ride to Vieste, Hotel is 7 blocks from bus stop parking lot.

Spacious & clean accomendations near sea & sites.

We were welcomed by smiling faces and basically anything we asked of them they tried their best to give to us. We came in late and the hotel suggested we use the restaurant on premises, only to find out they had made German fare for guests that were staying there. We were looking forward to an Italian meal, but they could not have been nicer. The head waiter explained each item (which was not in English) and the food was delicious.

Angela and Frederico were especially kind. Angela reccomended an area restaurant on our second evening and it was very good as well. Even the maid service was outstanding. We had a wonderful time there and would definitely reccomend it to our friends and family.

Very welcoming hotel!

The hotel was clean and in good decorative order (may have been recently decorated). The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. The room was very comfortable, especially the king size bed. It was great to enter a nicely cooled toom after a long and hot journey in the car.
Breakfast was fresh, clean and plentiful.

Beautiful, subtle, newly decorated hotel

Palace Hotel Vieste has recently enjoyed a full revamping, done with excellent taste. The hotel is spotless and the staff are efficient and fluent in English (which is fairly rare in Vieste).
The hotel restaurant is excellent and serves a delicious 4-course dinner for 25 euro. (Also serves lunch, which I did not try.)

Schönes Hotel in zentraler Lage

Tolle Retro Einrichtung und sehr sauber. Große Zimmer. Das Frühstück ist üppig aber leider 95 % Kuchen und Kälte Ficaccia, die sooft aufgebaut werden, bis sie weg sind. Schade. Es fehlt Obst, ein schönes Müsli, Käse aus der Region. Tomaten. Etc. lieblos fasst es ganz gut zusammen.
Sonst war das Haus in Ordnung.
