Let me start out by saying getting to the Hotel is not the easiest. The hotel will send you a message telling you to call when you get to the area and they will guide you in a GPS will not navigate inside the city. What the message should include is "Via Vittorio Veneto, 44, 70022 Altamura BA, Italy" this is the entrance. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and helpful. Valet parking is very convenient. We were in room 102 for 5 nights. The bed mattress felt like we were rolling out of bed. There is a closet but limited drawer space for 2 people. The bathroom is large for Italy but again limited essential could use a few more towel bars and soap holders in the shower. I know I am an American used to everyday pleasantries. All in all we had a good time and would stay again if in the area.

Free parking would be the only reason to stay
The Hotel San Nicola has seen better days. The lobby is small and shabby, the restaurant where breakfast is served is basically s converted courtyard. The junior suite was large, had French doors that opened to city views but the bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast was mediocre-at-best. Parking was free which is s premium in the historic center. The staff attempted to help me find a Christmas eve dinner but failed. There is also a valid issue. I paid 79 Euros. The junior suite was worth 50 maximum. Would I stay here again? Probably not. Would I recommend it to others? Probably not.

The staff is careful about meeting yoir needs. We have stayed several times in the past and have not been disappointed. We did have a few warm nights until we realized we needed to request the air be left on at night. We had a bird nesting on young on our balcony sovwe were not able to open our wondow at night.

Beautiful old hotel in center of old Altimura
Beautifully maintained hotel. A few of the staff spoke some English and they were more than helpful. The hotel is in a good location as far as being in the center of the old part of town, but parking is very limited. Another downside is wifi. I could never get my phone to connect. But when you are in an ancient, beautiful city do you need wifi? I would highly recommend Hotel San Nicola to travelers.

Das Hotel ist durch seine zentrale Lage ideal. Auch das eigene Restaurant war hervorragend. Nur die Anfahrt ins Zentrum durch die Fussgängerzone ist eine kleine Herausforderung, aber auch eine lustige Erfahrung. Für einen Besuch z.B. in Matera eine idealer Ort. Der Ort selbst ist zudem sehr schön, das Zentrum mehr als empfehlenswert. Alles direkt vor dem Hotel.
