Great, hostel-style accomodation in the centre of the Sassi area. Clean, warm and dry. Lots of cafes and restaurants close by. Very friendly and accomodating staff. Would highly recommend. Grazie mille!

So glad I chose this hostel for my stay in Matera! The location is absolutely stunning and the views from the building, and outdoor seating area, is somewhere I could sit and enjoy a coffee and a book every day. The location is great right in the middle of the stassi. The rooms were nice enough, modern clean bathrooms; although the rooms are underground and quite hot and musty even in winter so I’m not sure what summer would be like. 100% the place to stay, and Masera is a MUST VISIT in ...

Falta uma melhor limpeza no box do banheiro. O exaustor do banheiro não funciona e como o local não tem janelas o vapor acumula muito. A localização é ótima, fácil de chegar na rua del corso que é super movimentada. Perto de vários restaurantes. Minha estadia foi ótima.

Basic hostel, no common rooms or anything except for beds. The room is very comfortable, and the views from outside are possibly the best in Matera! Loved it. While there is a gate that locks at night, the room can still be accessible by public streets at the top, so just make sure you keep the door locked.

Great location in a fascinating city. It was a diverse clientele, but the hostel was a little hard to find and the dorm was crowded. A good value for the money.

Pros - beautiful location, clean and quiet. Cons - no kitchen, makes travelling on a budget difficult.

Great hostel with a perfect location right within the Sassi (though far from the main bus station). The beds are comfy and clean. But there is no curtains for privacy and we have to do our beds ourselves. There is no common area but as there is only one dorm everyone is already at the same place. The second bathroom need extra hangers for the clothes and the towels.

Wow wow wow. This hostel is the best I’ve stayed in to date (I’ve stayed in many hostels). Beds are uber comfortable and the view is something I can’t explain. Spacious and more of a 5 star hotel rather than hostel. Couldn’t recommend this enough, particularly for solo travellers.

Great location in the old town of Matera, beds were comfortable and water for showers was hot. Staff were not friendly, but we're available to help with queries. No kitchen facilities, just a microwave and a kettle but no cutlery available unless you ask at reception, which was frustrating. Also one of the showers was impossible to wash in without it spilling on the whole floor as there was no lip, which was just odd. Would stay again if visiting Matera though, as it's a beautiful spot.

Beautiful view and building. The dorm was nice and clean but got a bit stuffy due to no windows, which is understandable in a cave. Great value, staff were helpful and the location was perfect.
