Pros +
- Breakfast was great as well the conversation! The gentleman that sets up breakfast was so impressive in his interactions with the guests- he is a gem! All staff were friendly and gracious and made us feel at home!
- We had a great stay at Hotel San Nicola. When we could not easily park the car because of construction nearby, the front desk attendant Mario drove the car for us to get it to the hotel. The breakfast was excellent and the room was very clean and new.
- This was our second stay at Hotel Nicola. Our first stay, several years ago, was wonderful - hence our return. This trip, we noted ongoing improvements in the property. The staff was exceedingly welcoming and helpful, and we enjoyed our interaction with them. One staff member consistently went out of his way to help with our car and explain how our access to the ZTL worked. Erik, at the front desk, was a font of helpful knowledge about the area and gave us suggestions regarding navigation and areas to explore. The breakfast was varied and exceeded what would be regarded as "typical," both in quality and quantity. And, of course, Altamura is beautiful and the Centro is exceedingly walkable.
Cons -
- Pillows could be a little better. The most important thing when staying away from home is the comfort of the bed, the sheets, the temperature of the room, and adequate pillows, Overall, bed was very good in comparison to some places we have stayed. The temperature of the room was a bit warm and we were unable to make colder- if this were corrected, would be perfect.
- The only drawback was the comfort of the 2nd bed which pulled out from a chair.
- Honestly, this was a great stay - we plan to return when passing through the area next year for a third visit.

Beautiful hotel very conveniently located with a great staff. Erik was especially helpful to us during our stay.
Great location, clean room, terrific breakfast with local and traditional items, very helpful front desk, grazie Erik!
This hotel is right in the middle of the old historic center of Altamura, yet just off to the side for it to be calm and quiet. The staff here, especially Erik, were attentive and helpful. Erik answered all of my questions via booking.com and then helped me book a taxi back to Bari. The room was clean and a cool retreat (thanks to AC) from the midday heat.
The decor is slightly dated, so this is not the chicest place, but the facilities are in good working order. The internet was intermittent in my room.
Location was in the historic center, and the hotel is very nice. Staff was helpful. Wifi worked well.
the air conditioning wasn't working when we were there.
It is right in the middle of the old city! The staff is very friendly and helpful! Mr. Mario on the reception desk was one of the friendliest faces we’ve seen in Puglia!
Everything is perfect here. The people, breakfast, the heat in the room, the decoration, the beautiful ladies in the reception.
Very good pretty hotel in best location
Bathroom had only a bath which was uncomfortable
In the center of town, Altamura. Walking distance to everything. Incredibly nice and helpful staff who did above and beyond. It has been renovated in recent years, and they did amazing job!
Great location, great staff, great breakfast!!
Needs better AC and a shower curtain
Great location, very pretty, nicely finished and very helpful staff
Parking was tricky but not the hotels fault.
Great location. Staff friendly professional and accomodating. Dined in restaurant which was delicious
The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.We had some problems with the rental car and they took care of the phone calls. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Location is excellent.
The breakfast was wonderful, the staff even more wonderful. The hotel is beautiful!
The air conditioning was not cool enough. That would be my only complaint.
The best location and the staff were helpful and obliging with our requests of an early arrival.
nice location in town centre!
it was a nice room. would have appreciated the possibility to prepare a cup of coffee in the room.
Great location in old town. Beautiful renovated historic building. Excellent, friendly English speaking staff provided five star customer service. Traveled Italy 3 months and one of the best meals in the restaurant. The chef personally came out to meet me and discuss the menu.
A bit pricey for Altamura and Puglia in general.
The hotel is amazing. The room is huge and the bed is very comfortable. Breakfast is also very good, with different options you can choose on the day before (just bear in mind you’ll have to pay for some of the items even if you book the room with breakfast included).
It’s not easy to find the hotel, and it’s tricky to get there by car. And there was a miscommunication between the night and day staff, which ended up costing us a few pounds.
