Frokosten var helt fantastisk Ble hentet med transport ifra parkeringsplassen
Incredible view and location…however felt a bit like faulty towers at times ? Asked for glasses in the room to pour champagne, took 3 requests and they eventually arrived with plastic cups. The Door handle of toilet fell off 4 times. Maintenance arrived to “fix” it the first time and he literally shoved it in the hole and hoped for the best. It kept falling off. We Asked for mugs/cups to make tea (there was kettle but no cups?) and that took several requests. Staff super friendly and Smiley, just slow to reacted restaurant had similar experiences where you’ll be asking 3 times for your drink. Just off with the fairies a little ?
Slow reaction when something went wrong or when you made a request (you needed to ask 3 times for everything). No beach towels available for guests. Be nice to have a gym or access to a gym close by.
La struttura è in una posizione super strategica che ti permette se hai la macchina di visitare praticamente tutto. Alcune calette anche a piedi sono comode.
La mancanza di pulizia all’interno della stanza ahimè. Non veniva mai pulito il pavimento e purtroppo tornando da spiaggie tutto comunque si riempiva di sabbia quindi secondo era necessario che venisse pulito. E poi l’indisponibilità al servizio lavanderia.
Todo excelente

Location Location! In the heart of town. It is so good you don't need to leave!!
breakfast was indoors. would have been nice to sit outside.
Perfect location, best in town. Super friendly staff, great and comfortable hotel
Bathroom was a little strange (tub), but nothing major
Obiekt bardzo zużyty, nieremontowany, pokoje malutkie, winda mikroskopijna, duże różnice w wysokości posadzek utrudniające poruszanie się, personel (szczególnie restauracji) niewyedukowany, obrażony na cały świat, zajmujący się rozmowami ze sobą zamiast gośćmi. Bardzo fajna obsługa recepcji, szczególnie dwaj młodzi Panowie dowożący gości z u na parking.
obsługa restauracji, śniadania, małe pokoje, zaniedbanie
La grande chambre avec une terrasse sur la mer. La situation entre le village et les plages. La vue exceptionnelle sur la mer et les falaises de Poignant
Die Lage war perfekt, die Aussicht vom Balkon war auch perfekt, Frühstück war gut, Parkmöglichkeit war auch sehr gut
In den alten Badezimmern ist es etwas eng. Die Betten in den alten Zimmern waren nicht wirklich bequem.
Walking distance to the everything
Very close to everything with the most excellent views there was. You could see everything from our sea view room. The staff was exceptionally courteous and offers a shuttle to and from the free parking area.
Excelente ubicación
Posizione centrale, proprio a ridosso di Lama Monachile e della piazza intitolata a Domenico Modugno. Architettura dell’hotel molto bella. Ottimo il parcheggio gratuito con navetta da/per parcheggio
Pulizia della camera scarsa. Colazione appena sufficiente. Wi-Fi terribile.
Personale Cordiale e disponibile. Ambienti puliti e curati
Camere nel blocco staccato piccole e datate.
Vista fronte mare
Fantastic everything
Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Breakfast adequate but service on occasions disorganised.

výborné a pestré raňajky na požiadanie nám hotel zapožičal slnečník na pláž a sušiak na balkón vlastné hotelové parkovisko pár minút pešo od hotela s milým strážnikom na skok od historického centra
slabé internetové pripojenie, na online prácu z hotela zabudnite
This is a wonderfully located hotel and a staff that is friendly and helpful. Parking is about 300m away, but is an easy walk. Get the directions from the staff before you drive there. Breakfast is decent and the views are spectacular from their restaurant.
We had an older room that wasn't as nicely appropriated as shown in some of the other photos. Not a big deal, but did make the "feel" of the hotel dated as there were no ornamentation in the rooms; also, each time we remove the card key the air conditioning would come on an freeze the room before we returned, and the window blinds would be closed automatically. We found this a bit frustrating.
Excellent location, room was beautiful, very helpful staff. Free parking
Parking was off site.
A localização excelente. Recebi up grade e o quarto era enorme, com varanda , vista para o mar. Quarto com sauna , dois banheiros, banheira, frigobar com bebida e espumante. Possui estacionamento fora do hotel mas tem transfer.

Café da manhã
Location is exceptional, overlooking the famous beach,staff were friendly, great breakfast, once again overlooking the beach! Parking system was great & they were happy to take us to our car whenever we requested. We tried to rebook here again for later in our trip but it was booked out. Fabulous place
Superb Location-Sit in the restaurant at night and gaze across the bay into the sunset Great breakfast and lovely staff
Nothing really The local beach is very crowded However it is still a very lovely place to swim
Beautiful location on the cliffs-Superb rooms! We had three balconies ,all with stunning views. Friendly efficient staff and top notch restaurant .The location puts you right on the edge of the old quarter and within five minutes walk of a beach (busy because it s central)
The central(old town)location means that there is no parking outside.But the hotel has a well run carpark a few minutes away ands they run a shuttle!
Equipe extremamente educada e cortez. Café da manhã maravilhoso e jantar com um anoitecer no verão inesquecível.
A localização é muito boa. O pequeno almoco também bom.
Nao acho razoavel que cobrem 5€ por um ovo estrelado ou uma omelete, estando incluido no pequeno almoço ovos mexidos.
Amazing location. We had a Laurie with a large deck area that overlooked La Monachile. Breakfast was great. Staff were excellent and friendly. Car park was close by and they shuttle you back and forth. Great stay!
Having yo leave
Good Location very helpful staff and a good restaurant
Room was very impersonal and I could see more of a parking lot then the sea
Perfect location. We walked to the Grotto Palazzo for dinner and shopped in old town Breakfast was amazing our room spectacular.
Parking was off site but there is a driver and shuttle to and from property.
Loved the location and our room was wonderful with its own balcony and jacuzzi
The jacuzzi wasn’t working due to low water level and took some time to sort out. This should be monitored before check in so that no delay in using the facilities. There was a very significant additional charge to sit in a lovely little balcony area for breakfast. This meant that it went unused the whole time we were there which is sad and a waste. I think it should be available for all guests at no extra charge.
Hotel maravilhoso, localização excelente, apenas poucos passos da entrada do centro histórico, e do cartão postal da cidade (praia Lama Monachile).Café da manhã maravilhoso e com uma vista linda.Quarto confortáveis e limpos.
Gostamos de tudo!!!

O café da manhã
Do conforto e do visual
Grosszügige, helle Zimmer, freundliches, zuvorkommendes Personal, phänomenales Essen und üppiges Frühstück in einem eleganten Saal mit Meerblick. Dazu liegt das Hotel wirklich perfekt im Zentrum des Ortes direkt neben dem sagenhaften Strand. Ein Bad am frühen Morgen, wenn noch niemand da ist, gehört fast dazu. Also: Alles top!
Es kann laut werden am Abend - aber es ist Italien. Am Morgen ist es dafür sehr ruhig.
Mostly old, but beautiful view
Sehr gute Lage, aber trotzdem ruhig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Zimmer sauber. Frühstück war sehr gut - viel Selbstgemachtes!
El Hotel está en una ubicación privilegiada y tiene unas instalaciones muy lindas. La parte donde se desayuna es muy linda
Nos tocó en el edificio enfrente de la recepción y no es tan moderno
La ubicación y el lugar para desayunar lo destacan.

Spent one night at this hotel but had a great time. We booked a room with a jacuzzi terrace and I would highly recommend. The terrace and views were wonderful. Excellent breakfast and very helpful staff. Great location, 5 mins walk to the old town but plenty of restaurants and shops nearby
Localização
Tudo certo
Ótima localização, funcionários atenciosos . Ter estacionamento facilita muito e eles têm transporte do hotel para lá. Fiquei em uma suite enorme com dois banheiros, sauna, banheira. Linda vista para o mar e frigobar com bebidas de cortesia incluindo Prosecco .
As instalações são um pouco antigas. Nada que interfira na estadia.
spektakuläre Lage über den Klippen von Polignano gute Unterstützung beim Parkieren des Auto sehr gutes Frühstück - Extras allerdings nur gegen Aufzahlung
Zimmer zu klein, sehr spartanische Einrichtung
Fantastic position, lovely staff
Beautiful hotel in an amazing spot. Lovely, but dated room, 111. Very clean BUT no coffee machine, just paper cups and 2 sachets of coffee and a kettle. Even cheap hotels have coffee machines and proper cups! Also we were out into a room for less able bodied guests with a seat in the shower. That was ok except that it took us 10 minutes to work out how to use the shower, no instructions and a crazy about of nobs, buttons and lights. The music at breakfast was like a night club, most of the guests were over a certain age so inappropriate and far too loud anyway. I asked it be turned down slightly but it wasn't, so we ate quickly too get away from the noise. But even with all of that moaning, it was a lovely building with stunning views and good food in the restaurant. I would go back.

Vu de la salle du petit déjeuner Nombreux rangements dans la chambre
Baignoire balnéothérapie qui ne fonctionnait pas
Atendimento excelente . Cristian ótimo atendimento
Jantar fraco , poucas opções e não tivemos sorte pois estava bem ruim
Muy lindo todo, bien ubicado. El desayuno completo.
Sobretodo la ubicación es magnífica, pero además la terraza de la habitación era ¡una pasada!
La ubicación, es genial y que disponen de estacionamiento.
El desayuno no es muy bueno. Y si quieres la terraza te cobran más.
Hotel excelente, qualidade das instalações, limpeza, localização, tudo muito bom e de categoria. O Restaurante do hotel é fantástico!
Não tenho nada a dizer a respeito.
This was an amazing hotel. I had two balconies, 1 that looked over the sea and the other that looked back in to the town. The staff were wonderful. I highly reccomend this hotel and if i am back in Polignano a Mare, i would definitely stay there again. The breakfast was fantastic too. There was a great range of food and you sat looking over the cliffs and sea.
I loved all of it
Très bon emplacement
Chambre vieillotte, salle de bains petite. Ne vaut pas un 4 étoiles
Fantastic location, right on the cliff overlooking the sea. Very friendly who were happy to help with anything you needed. Parking was very close to the hotel with a car from the hotel to pick you up if needed although it was so close it was not needed
The bed was a bit hard and the pillows could have been a little bit fluffier
View from the terrace of the room was really "Polignano a Mare".
Accueil sympathique parlant anglais parking privé proche de l'hotel et avec une navette de l'hotel qui vient nous chercher et nous reconduire avec les valises donc très pratique chambre très agréable propre face à la mer, bien équipée, literie impeccable restaurant attenant très convenable si on n'a pas de plan B petit déjeuner pas waow mais très correct un séjour agréable et surtout bien situé en plein centre ville, tout peut se faire à pied depuis l'hotel
le petit déjeuner pourrait être encore upgradé
after eating at restaurant twice would not let us have a drink at a table. it was empty and i was shocked by the rude attitude
Location
The location, parking area and other facilities were very good. And the staff was so helpful and marvelous.
Tres bon emplacement,parking à disposition. Chambre spacieuse avec balcon Bouilloire à disposition
Insonorisation à revoir
sehr schöne Lage direkt oberhalb des Meeres; ausgiebiges Frühstücksangebot
Heizung funktionierte nicht, im April ist es abends noch kalt! Obwohl sehr(!) teuer kein Hinweis auf Getränke im Zimmer; sehr nüchterne Einrichtung
