Hotel Margherita

It's super close to Padre Pio's sanctuary.

I would define it more as a circus rather than a hotel.On the night of my arrival I asked the front desk agent, who spoke very little English, if it would be possible to extend our stay. He then asked to check the availability on the next day.On the next day morning I went to the front desk where I found 3 people, one of them being the guy from last night, the other guy didn't speak English as well. The third person, a woman, then asked what I needed and I explained that I would need to stay another night and if asked if was possible to extend my stay at the hotel, to what she said: "Yes, no problem". I even asked if the rate would be the same, to what she also said "yes".Fast forward to the original day in which I was supposed to leave, I was surprised when two people showed up at my door asking me to check out. I then explained the situation, with help of Google translate as none of them spoke English, and they initially understood it and even apologized for the inconvenience.Not even 10 minutes later they knock again at my door, with a "manager" extremely unpolite and aggressive again asking me to leave. I proceed to explain again the situation, using Google translate as the "manager" also didn't speak any English, but to my astonishment she said that she was the "only woman there" and that no record of my extension existed.I tried several times to reason with said woman, explained that there were witnesses to the situation, indicated who was the guy who first received my request to extend and was also present at the conversation when the girl said that was OK to stay one more night. None of that resulted, she just showed me a text from Google translate saying: "I NEED YOU TO LEAVE THE ROOM".She then just refused to hear anything that I said, just being dismissive and keeping asking me to leave.

Great location for St Pio Sanctuary, only a 5min walkThe breakfast was very simple, one croissant with spreads and one packet of dry toast biscuit

Beds were hardYou could hear noise through the walls

Very close to the Sanctuary

The property itself is not a problem but booking.com was hacked and they are scammers sending messages through the booking.com messaging system that inform about need to update credit card details for this hotel. They were trying to get 700$ from my credit card. Luckily the transaction was automatically blocked. I had to cancel my credit card in a foreign country and was left without a good payment method. This is not the only hotel on booking.com sending fraudulent messages and the customer service is slow to do anything about it. Bad for the hotel, super scary for me.

Corina was our savior! She picked up our distress call and clearly directed us (driving) to her house. Super helpful and respectful. Her property is only steps away from the castle entrance and easily access to major arteries . Highly recommend to visitors.Tim

Good location for the pilgrimage and pretty close to the basilica. Simple family rooms but with all necessities. Restaurant a plus for long days travel.

prime location just a few minutes away from the Padre Pio Shrine, which was the main reason for our visit. While the location was certainly convenient, the overall experience was far from ideal.

My stay at the hotel was unfortunately disappointing, despite its prime location just a few minutes away from the Padre Pio Shrine, which was the main reason for our visit. While the location was certainly convenient, the overall experience was far from ideal. Communication was a challenge, as the receptionist had difficulty speaking English and often relied on Google Translate to assist with basic queries. This made even simple requests, such as asking for a spoon, more complicated than they should have been.In addition, we asked the reception to arrange a taxi for us the following day as we needed to check out early to catch the 7am train from Foggia to Milan. Unfortunately, the staff couldn’t understand our request and advised us to wait for the next shift, which wasn’t until 9pm. On the morning of our departure, we were unable to find anyone at the reception when we checked out at 6am. We had to repeatedly ring the bell to get someone’s attention and ended up going down to the basement to find someone who could help us return our room key and exit the hotel, as the main entrance was locked.Additionally, the strong wind made for a very uncomfortable night, as the noise from the wind and the window cover banging against the walls kept me awake. Unfortunately, these issues contributed to a stay that was far from restful. I hope the hotel addresses these concerns to improve the experience for future guests.

Place is very close to the padre pio church (walking distance). Breakfast is continental; the croissants (freshly baked) and coffee were really good. The hosts/staff were accommodating and helped us with our check-in situation. Mike (speaks English) helped arrange for a ride to the bus station. We had dinner at their restaurant and the food was great. We definitely recommend the place.

Great Value! Very close to the Padre Pio Church. Just a 4 minute walk to the church. Great staff! Perfect Italian style breakfast. Free parking!

The location, its walking distance to the churches. The accommodation and it has a restaurant where you can eat also.

No aircon since we stayed during hot season.

The staffs are so friendly, when u enter the main entrance door u will see that the place is clean and pleasant. And very near to Saint Father Pio its just a 5minute walk. For sure will recommend and come back.

The staff was very helpful, especially Mike. He speaks English very well and he is always happy to help. Well done!

Very clean and good location

The breakfast was basic Continental

The helpful staff, Gaetano and Michael helped us with our bus and trip to Mont’ San Angelo. Great price for good service

Noise coming from other rooms

It is close Padre Pio Church, just walking distance. Very convenient. Michael was very accommodating and he speaks english. It’s very hard for us to communicate in Italian bec we donot speak the language. Michael is a big help to us. Thank you very much Michael!

The noise of people playing ball or soccer. From afternoon till 7 pm.

The hotel staff are very accomodating, waited for us since we came late at night. The parking space was spaceous and safe. The hotel is near in St.padre pio church.

Nothing?

Very friendly, dog not a problem. I warmly recommend. Fantastic cuisine. The best meal of my 15 day stay in Italy. Many thanks again for a fantastic dinner.

The location was excellent. The staff were super nice and friendly.

The room was small, the shower miniscule, and no wall plugs. The beds were very uncomfortable.

Very kind host, hot water is available (someone before has written that isn't), breakfast is italian (sweet), but good and big enough.

The hotel staff is extremely helpful. Outstanding location, and very clean! Il personale dell'hotel è estremamente disponibile. Posizione eccezionale e molto pulito!

Nice atmosphere. The breakfast was simple and good. The location is good to get to the Sanctuary. It was clean, we were greeted immediately by the staff, who were friendly.

A bit noisy with an open central staircase (the other guest I was travelling with had a tough time falling asleep.)
