Grande Albergo Potenza

Old hotel, in need of renovation, but clean. I slept well. The location is close to the old town in the city center. Breakfast is similar to other hotels in Italy, not many options but you can find something for yourself. You can enjoy breakfast with a nice view.

Located in a very central position in the historic center, we made it as our starting point for visiting the various attractions and monuments of the city. This hotel, equipped with a minibar and air conditioning, allowed us to read the newspapers and surf the web with our cell phone and laptop thanks to the free wifi connection present throughout the entire structure. The hotel was a real, pleasant surprise for us, who had checked the many booking sites and had seen many dated, old and almost unrealistic photos which did not give it good publicity and which made it look like a hangar of an aerodrome. Above all they didn't do justice to the spaces. In fact, the rooms, although very small, are comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished. There us no pictures of the bathrooms on the booking site. At the reception desk we were greeted with courtesy and professionalism. The location is strategic, close to the Cathedral, the historic and iconic shopping street, Via Pretoria, Piazza della Prefettura and the historic Teatro Stabile. From the windows of this very tall building, perhaps the tallest in the city itself, you can admire a wonderful view of the surrounding hills, of the entire city itself and of the valley below. The strong point of the hotel is a beautiful, elegant and very spacious lobby, with noteworthy furnishings and décor. The breakfast was rather satisfying and plentiful, the prices rather moderate. Good value for money. We recommend it.
