Hotel Nazionale

Had to leave Scilla at 2am and drove to Matera arriving around 7:15am. While we weren’t really planning on checking in until 4pm, the staff went out of their way above and beyond to make us comfortable by immediately providing us with access to the underground parking garage. Then provided us with with cornettos and capuchinos before they even had the coffee bar open! They THEN rushed to get us a room in record time. A very clean, comfortable room with every amenity you could need. A great value & bargain. Thank You Hotel Nazionale!

By far the nicest hotel staff I have ever found. Fluent in Spanish and English. Super dog friendly, any dog size. Welcome dig pack includes 😍😍😍Just 1,5 Km from sassi and close to food stores, shops and restaurants (also a pharmacy very close to the hotel). Excellent breakfast including local food and spectacilar vegan options. Bikes can also be rented. Large and comfortable rooms (we were two adults and two dogs and we had plenty of space)

When we checked in we were given an upgraded room. The hotel is very modern. The room spacious and well equipped. Bathroom very clean and good facilities. Francesco on Reception was very helpful, he spoke english and advised us on restaurants, etc. Car parking is available under the hotel for 12 euro a night but it is a very secure car park. The hotel is 25 minutes walk to the main square or there is taxis or buses or you can take your car and use a car park closer to the centre. Restaurant was only open for breakfast which was quite good with a reasonable choice. It would have been nice if it had been open for dinner as at times sightseeing can tire you out. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I stayed at Hotel Nazionale-Matera while visiting family for 9 nights with my son. My wife recommended this hotel based on her stay a few weeks earlier when she visited Matera with friends. She knows how fussy I can be, so she knows if I didn't like it, she would be hearing about it for quite awhile. The hotel is in a great location, modern, and safe. The room was sleek, clean, and housekeeping came every day. The beds were comfortable and extra blankets and pillows were available. The breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety of options-eggs, sausages, rolls, toast, pastries (lots of delicious pastries), fruit, juice, coffee, etc. I looked forward to going there each morning. The hotel staff was professional, friendly and very accommodating. We had to leave very early on our last day to catch an early flight and they arranged for a bagged breakfast for us. We enjoyed cocktails in the bar and sitting on the patio was an extra plus. After 9 nights you'd think I would have at least one negative take away, but I don't.
