Il Piccolo Albergo Matera

“A great central hotel with great staff”

I stayed here recently with a group of walkers however when i arrived I'd broken my wrist and arm and so was waiting to be repatriated to the UK. The hotel is very central and only a few minutes walk from the sassi and although the rooms are small they contained everything you needed and were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful and good. The staff were however the best bit - they couldn't have been more helpful and kinder. Particular thanks to Maria for her efforts finding me a doctor and hospital and cab to the airport. I've never stayed in hotel with such great staff before. One day soon I shall return to Matera to spend more time there and I will definitely be returning to Il Piccolo Albergo..

We arrived in the night. Tired and nerved from not working navi. Found this little gem by chance. Very helpful staff. Confi beds. All is small but very clean and really central. Breakfast was also much better then what is usually offered in italy as a standard. We even had warm croissants. Tasty fruits too. 3 bed room inclusive breakfast for 100 €. Decided to stay for another night. Overall we are very happy that we have discovered this little hotel. Would recommend it further to any average size people:). If you are larger better to look for more spaced alternatives, as shaver cabin and the bathroom is really tiny.

First off, Matera is a wonderful town to visit given its history, architecture and location. This albergo is a five mins easy walk from the train station. It's a comfortable 10 mins walk to the sassi area. Relatively flat. Quiet street. Safe. Restaurant options are closeby or a short walk away. And a plus that it takes credit card, as it seems most small B&Bs took only cash. Room and bathroom size is comfortable for the budget. Parquet floors. Tall ceilings. Clean. There is a small fridge in the room. Wifi works well throughout. Quiet - noise outside the room didn't travel inside. Ample breakfast buffet - deli meat, cheese, fresh fruit, cereal, milk, yogurt, juice, hot drinks, and bread. There is a decent open air market not far either if you are looking for something different. Be warned that there are stairs and no elevators, but the stairs are wide and manageable (not steep!). Staff is very helpful with options on restaurants and things to do in the Matera area, particularly the Albanian student who spoke excellent English. She even called the room to warn us about resto hours. All in all, this place is a good option for the budget minded traveller.

“Ótima localização mas....”

A localização é muito boa. Matera é uma linda cidade com muito para se visitar e para quem chega de carro, que foi o nosso caso, fica difícil de se hospedar nos "Sassis" Sassi é a parte mais antiga da cidade, é muito difícil chegar com carro para quem não conhece o lugar. Então, já que a grande atração de Matera é essa parte antiga da cidade, o legal é ficar perto da praça principal da cidade de onde o acesso aos Sassis é muito fácil (a pé mesmo). Nesse ponto o hotel tem uma localização muito boa, pois fica muito perto dessa praça, nem 5 minutos a pé. Só que o hotel não tem vaga de garagem e nem perto existe uma possibilidade de conseguir uma, terá que estacionar na rua mesmo, o que na maioria das cidades italianas durante o dia e parte da noite é praticamente impossível. Mas o que achei pior não foi isso e sim os barulhos, os sons dos banheiros dos quartos vizinhos. Pareciam que as paredes eram feitas de papel, escutava-se absolutamente tudo. Várias vezes durante a noite fui acordada com sons hidráulicos. A cama era péssima, dura e péssimos travesseiros, baixos e duros. A porta do box era tão apertada que se a pessoa está qualquer peso acima (mesmo pouco) ou se é uma pessoa muito grande, alta, terá problemas para conseguir entrar no box. As duas moças da tarde que me receberam era simpáticas. A moça do café da manhã bem antipática. Não tem elevador. Ou seja, a única coisa é a localização. Fiquei no quarto 14 e não conheci outros.
