Locanda Di San Martino Hotel & Thermae  

Wonderful hotel, beautiful large rooms, great breakfast, very kind helpful staff. Great location overlooking the Sassi, everything was perfect.

Spectacular view and close to everything.

All rooms were supposed to be non-smoking. Our room smelled smoke. We made this booking due to the indoor pool and we had missed that kids below 18 years do not have access. Good to know.

Excellent location right in the Sassi and near food/shops. The cave rooms were fun and unique to sleep in and that was the main reason we picked this hotel. The staff are friendly and informed. The breakfast was nice and served in a large cave room. 15 Euro and someone will come and get your car and park it inside a garage...worth every penny. Overall, one of the nicest places in my 6 months in Italy.

We weren't able to find the hotel right away due to gps problems (It wanted me to go down a flight a stairs to get to the Sassi district)...it is in the lowest part of the Sassi and it is really tight to fit in a mid-sized car there. The Thermae cannot be used by anyone under 18 and that is a shame...there should be family hours for older children, but I understand that is less a swimming pool and more a spa.

Great experience.

We could have used a better map as to how to locate it.

Great location, all rooms very intriguing. Spa amazing. Very friendly staff who were exceptionally helpful.

A beautiful location in the Sassi. The spa is quite different and worth using, albeit I would rather the cost was in the room rate rather than a usage charge, which was not cheap. Good breakfast and comfortable rooms. Easy access, once you work out the narrow streets and stairs- which is part of the fun. Use the hotel parking service. It is worth it !

What a great location! Close to sassi and the main new city square. The staff was great. Rooms were surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast was probably the one area that lacked for us (no simple things like cereal or toast!) Used the pool and sauna, it was worth it once. Nice break.

The location of this hotel in the historic Sassi District is unparalleled. Our room had its own small private terrace with table and 4 chairs directly next to our entry door, as well as a full-length view in front of our bed. The underground indoor spa and pool also was amazing. For the price, this hotel is hard to beat. The room and attached bath were simple, but well furnished, and complete with all necessary items. We would return to Locanda San Martino without any hesitation.

No complaints. However, be aware that because of the location on the hillside in the Sassi District, there tends to be more noise coming from neighbors, roads, etc.

Excellent location, hotel and cultural environment and staff. It put us right in the center of the area we intended to visit.

The wi-fi was difficult.

The hotel was in a superb position, in a quiet area, but near to local restaurants, shops and for sight seeing. Their was plenty of choice for breakfast but if you did not want an early start, it was not replenished and therefore what food was left out was not fresh. It is a lovely hotel and different.

The troglodytic setting was unusual and appealing. Breakfast was exceptionally good with savoury sandwiches and a selection of cakes from a local pastry shop. Hotel staff were all very helpful.

The swimming pool in the caves beneath the reception looked amazing, but 10 Euros a go felt a bit expensive to charge guests of the hotel.

Very clean hotel, friendly staff, large room, original. To reach it, we put in the address in our gps, but driving in the narrow streets, mostly one-way, our gps could not help us. Advice: follow your gps to Matera, and from the moment you notice the signs to the hotel: just follow them, the'll bring you in front of the hotel. You can park there for 10 or more minutes, we advice you to accept the offer of the hotel: they drive your car to a private parking nearby (10 euro/day + 5 euro if you do not drive your car yourself), only be in time the day you leave to avoid waiting when you are not the only one ... Very nice location in the middle of the old village!!
