Hotel Colonne

La. Consiglio

Hotel vicinissimo al Santuario, camera e bagno spazioso, personale cordiale.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay, especially considering the price I paid. I booked what was described as a “suite”, but in my opinion, the room was nowhere near the standard I would expect from a suite. It was located in the attic, and I had to carry my heavy luggage up the stairs myself. The bathroom had an unpleasant sewage smell, and the shower facilities did not work properly. I was unable to use the shower normally and had to manage with the limited shower facility that was available. It was so inconvenient that I was unable to wash my hair properly during my four-night stay and had to wait until I returned home. I was also concerned about the kitchen. To use it, you have to lift a very heavy wooden cover, and there appeared to be inadequate ventilation. I did not feel that the design was practical or reassuring from a health and safety point of view, particularly if someone were actually cooking there. During my four-night stay, the bedding was not changed once. I also found the service and attitude of the staff to be far from welcoming or attentive. Although the property is presented as being new, it did not feel like a new building to me. It appeared that some of the interior facilities had been renovated, but the building itself felt old and rather shabby. Most importantly, I do not believe the facilities or service were anywhere near the standard I would expect from an international hotel. Calling this room a “suite” was particularly difficult for me

Staff was friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect for visiting St Padre Pio Shrine. Nice rooms and bathrooms. Breakfast is ok.
