"Very well located hotel in Ostuni. The staff very helpful, the bathroom was really nice, the bed very comfortable. Everything very clean. Good amount of storage. The only drawback is that the curtains allowed light to filter in the morning and I forgot my eye shades, so the light woke me up every morning earlier than I wanted. The picture hotels.com had of the room we booked is not from the room we booked. We expected a balcony and we just had a panoramic view through a window. They were fully booked so we had to stay with the Panoramic room we booked. Not the one we expected. Very happy with the stay anyhow."

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Ostuni Palace Hotel Ristorante & Spa. The location was fantastic, with beautiful views of Ostuni right outside the hotel and only about a 10-minute walk to the historic centre. Our room was very clean and spacious, and the bathroom was surprisingly large, which was a nice bonus. The hotel itself is beautiful and well maintained, and breakfast was very good with a great selection. Another big plus was the free parking, which made having a car in Ostuni so much easier. Breakfast and parking being included made the stay even better value. We didn’t get a chance to try the spa during our stay, but it’s a nice option to have on-site. Overall, a beautiful hotel in a great location for exploring Ostuni."
