Hotel Sassi

Achtung. Juniorsuite ist eine Abstellkammer Hatte nur Ärger. Kann ich auf keinen Fall empfehlen Abzogen Ich hatte Juniorsuite gebucht und eine Abstellkammer erhalten Konnte in ein normalen Doppelzimmer umziehen und erhielten keine Preisdifferenz

Stayed for two nights as part of an Exodus Puglia tour from U.K. . Fabulous hotel , fabulous location five mins walk from main square . Beautiful room with views across the sassi , outside terrace ( ask for room with views towards the old sassi as many do not have these spectacular views . ) excellent breakfast with lots of lovely fresh fruit . Lovely staff , would so recommend this hotel .Lift from levels below if walking back from centre of town , not easy to find but saves a lot of uphill walking . We loved it here . We were following ( & found ) the seven filming locations from the last James Bond film ( No time to die ) all spectacular views . We did a great walking tour with a guide , would recommend, if planning a stay here try for three or four nights as a lot to discover. The staff are so accommodating. Loved it here even though 35 degrees , rest in afternoon as def too hot to walk around during siesta time , found a lovely cafe in central square with a/c conservatory, try the iced fruit teas & macaroons.

we slept in a cave -- it was interesting at first but soon lost its appeal. no air, no windows, damp, musty. not great. breakfast was in a long room like a bowling alley. very tight and uncomfortable. the lady who made our coffees in the morning was rude and short tempered.

A good location, friendly staff, good breakfast. My room was very simple but clean. I liked the terrace overlooking Matera but the chairs weren't very comfortable. There's a lift that goes down to some restaurants which is useful after a long day on your feet.

I recently stayed at Sassi Hotel - Matera and was thoroughly disappointed with my experience. The rooms are in desperate need of renovation and updating - the furniture is old and creaky, and the decor is tired and outdated. But the real issues began when I entered my room. The cleanliness was appalling - there was dust and dirt everywhere, and the bedding was stained and worn out. I even found a spider crawling on the bed! The bathroom was no better, with mold growing on the walls and a perpetual musty smell. The breakfast was also extremely basic, with a limited selection of stale pastries and overcooked eggs. And to top it all off, the service was unfriendly and unhelpful. I was really looking forward to exploring Matera, but the Sassi Hotel's subpar conditions and service made my stay a complete disappointment. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, and I hope they take the necessary steps to improve the conditions and service.

We stayed as part of an Exodus tour group - rooms extremely varied with some renovated rooms/caves which were pretty but still damp and so made all belongings damp and smelly. Our cave was very old with sofa beds and a tiny bathroom that was horrible - small and dirty. Of our group of 16 - 6 people asked to move and this was accommodated after one night. If you are going with exodus ask for a renovated room and pay for the upgrade it will be worth it. Breakfast is good with great views from the terrace. Don’t take good luggage as these are dragged and bounced down the steps . Avoid room 608.

Unique accommodation sleeping in a cave. However air conditioning not working properly, no electric kettle to make a hot drink. Apart from that little groan, a wonderful experience. A tour of this ancient city is a must for all history lovers.

We actually had a cave so no views or windows. Unique experience but the beds were narrow singles and were hard and the pillows substandard. Being on level one we had a very peaceful night compared to some of the other rooms. Breakfast was good and the staff very accommodating.

Very interesting cave hotel! Since there are no cars allowed on adjacent streets, one must walk from the nearest plaza. Cobblestone streets may be treacherous when wet. Handrails rare but helpful when available. Clothes dry very slowly in the rooms because of high humidity. Good breakfast. Great views!
