Hotel Colonne

I stayed here about 8 years ago and chose to stay here again simply because of its proximity to the Santuario Padre Pio. Not much has changed in the past 8 years. The rooms are extremely basic - with a bed, desk, tv, mini fridge and a little storage space. The room had a joint balcony with two other rooms. Pros - The best part about this hotel is its location - just a 2-minute walk to the Santuario Padre Pio. - Staff are great and very helpful. - Housekeeping come in every day and did a good job cleaning up. - The water was nice and hot and with great pressure. - Restaurant on site which was convenient even though the food was not exceptional. - Mini fridge in the room. Cons - The shower area is extremely tiny - not much wider than a normal-sized body. Best of luck trying to soap up! - A single plug point near the door. If you need to charge your phone at night, you’ll have to get out of bed to reach it in the morning. - No kettle in the room. But tea and coffee are available in the bar downstairs. - Air conditioning didn’t work. Couldn’t leave the balcony door open at night as the balcony is shared with two other rooms. - No way to lock the main door from the inside. Anyone with the key could just walk in (as housekeeping did one day). There should be an additional lock or latch for security. - Breakfast was abysmal - a few dry cakes, toast, a plate of cheese/salami, fruits and a coffee machine. - Wifi Signal was extremely weak on the 2nd floor and devices would rarely be able to connect. Overall, you get what you pay for. The bus stop is a minute away. A taxi from Foggia station costs 60 EUR. A day trip to Mont Sant’Angelo by taxi costs 80 EUR (return fare with a waiting time of two hours)
