Hotel Approdo di Venere

We paid extra for the view and it was worth it. Right on the water with stunning views. Staff were very helpful and breakfast was good. Everything was clean and well kept. Free parking was a bonus!

The room was very small. There was a balcony but it was a little small to sit on. We needed an extra blanket which was not readily available.

The location and parking facilities were great

The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. No box spring. Pillows very hard and unusable.

Outstanding accommodations, service, staff and food. The location was perfect with our room and very large terrace overlooking the bay and Vieste.

We stayed in a room on the 2nd floor and the view from the balcony/patio can’t be beat. The location was also perfect, with a short walk to the beach and main piazza where there was a concert happening the night we were there. The staff was lovely and on-site parking was easy.

There was a small issue with the water cutting off mid-shower, but it came back on.

The location is the best in Vieste, in a quiet, peaceful area. The stay was wonderful. It excited my expectations .The car was in a private lot right next to the hotel. We had no need to drive while there because we could walk everywhere.

The air conditioner shots off when you are out of the room and turned on when you walk in. Nevertheless the room was comfortable because you can set your desired temperature.

The location with great view and great breakfast

The elevator not working. The room size is slightly small.

Location was good

The building is a work in progress. Lift is installed but not working.Reception closes TOO early for summer travellers 7 pm close of reception is too early they should be available until at leat 9 pm. Towels were not provided in the room and because we arrive at 6:45 pm by the time we realise reception was closed. Only provided with one swipe key per rooom requested an additonal one and were told an extra was not possible. Very disppointed. The key provided had the name of the hotel and the room number printed on them which was a security issues as the door to the accomodation was also unlock so if we had lost a key around town the finder would have been able to access our room.Breakfast was nice.

Not sharing all those good reviews, this place is still under construction. The bar and reception area is nice, the staff was very friendly but they could not change the main problem that this hotel is not finished. The rooms are extremely simple - photos online do not in any case show the reality - but the worst is that there is construction material lying around everywhere..the rooms can only be accessed via an outdoor staircase that is hardly finished constructed. There are open, unsecured holes going down 2 floors, extremely dangerous, in particular if you have kids. On the "shared terrace" they stored huge packages of construction material. The outside of the hotel is dusty and dirty from construction. We immediately left and looked for another hotel. I wanted my money back but the receptionist said that I have to check this with booking. I have sent a message to customer service of booking and have not heard anything back yet.

Amazing location

The hotels own outdoor disco ?Anyone could walk directly off the street to the upstairs hotel hallway. Not secure.

Great location for walking to the old city. Very clean and comfortable. The hotel restaurant was a great choice on our first night.

Location was good, an easy stroll into town. The receptionist was bored, miserable and not very friendly. Our room was basic with a minuscule window which was at ceiling height so it felt like you were staying in a box. Friendly, helpful waiter at breakfast though.

The view from the terrace and from our room of Vieste was superb. The staff were very helpful and delightful. The restaurant was very good although because of the weather we couldn't eat outside with a view of the sea which i imagine could be a really enjoyable experience.

Location, staff, views, terrace all excellent

No Vieste information in the room, no hotel information in the room, couldn’t dial reception as there was no number, no sample menu’s or information about the restaurant, I did ask for fresh rolls for breakfast and they were provided.

Disappointing

Full lack of charm, rooms are very basics and very noisy (can almost understand conversations from the rooms around). Overall the ambiance is really cold. Breakfast deadline was 9:30 while we were 2 customers in the entire hotel.

The location is the best thing about this hotel. The hotel itself looks like it is in good condition. The dining patio looked nice although we did not eat there.

While booking.com advertised that there was wifi in the rooms, there wasn't. It was also very weak throughout the property. If they invested money into making the rooms more comfortable with a comfy bed and nicer furniture, it would make a huge difference. The furniture looks very cheap. They also need umbrella's on the upper terrace. Very small rooms.

lovely room off a huge shared terrace with great view towards Vieste, we had the very last room, ( the best room) so didnt have people walking past.very clean, we had two days here & enjoyed the easy walk into the old town.

the bed was terrible so uncomfortablecould feel the springs thru the mattress!we were sent to a cafe near the port, with a included breakfast voucher, very unfriendly lady served us, its a coffee & croissant, as we were on cycle tour we asked if we could have two, it was made very clear only 1.there is so many nicer cafe’s to be given breakfast voucher & alot closer walk to the town.abit disappointing as it was my husbands birthdayi feel the place is over priced!

Splendid location, pleasant staff.

The terrace is common for several rooms.The room is rather small, very small door and window.Bed and mattress rather uncomfortable.One would expect more for the price.

The position was fabulous. The lady in reception was really helpful.

Our room with a terrace was awful. We were told that the terrace was shared but did not realise that this would mean you had to have the curtains drawn all the time as people regularly wandered past the door. The bed was absolutely dreadful - a lumpy mattress with nothing separating it from the thin sheet. There was hair on the bathroom floor when we arrived. The walls were so thin you could hear everything going on in the next room - and I mean everything! The receptionist who greeted us on arrival was delightful but the breakfast staff were surly and reluctant to offer any sort of service. There was no bread of any type on the 2 days we were there but seemed to be a good selection of cakes. Shame as the position of the hotel is perfect.

Location, nice staff.
