Hotel Gabbiano

Two of my good friends came to this hotel.I had previously gone to check that if there were any difficulties due to the fact my friends spoke no Italian I could be contacted.I was assured there were no problems.Alas this was not true.When my friend went to get something from his car the gate closed and he was literally trapped inside the car park.Eventually he summed up the courage to climb the gate despite being 70 !When he angrily complained to who so ever was on the desk he did not received a very convincing apology.I personaly phoed to express my dismay hoping my friends would received a full apolgy.I hoped in vain. So much for making the tourists feel important.For this reason I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We stayed for 3 days at Hotel Gabbiano visiting our friends wedding in September, 2015. For our family (2 adults and 11 y.o. son) room was a very small. Breakfast was good. There is good and secure parking place 150 meters from hotel free for hotel guests (free for hotel guests). Personnel is very kind and pleasant.

It took us a while to find the hotel due to one way street , hotel good clean and comfortable and staff very nice . The castle in the town is a real treat well worth the visit the castle is a hidden treasure not over run with visitors , while we were there anyway .With lovely views towards the hills and walks by the harbour it was so relaxing and peaceful we really enjoyed our overnight stay

We stayed here while cycling the coast, and it was a great choice! We had a room with a sea view terrace, and a wonderful breakfast, all for a great rate! Desiree was working the front desk when we arrived, and she was really friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again!

nothing bad to say we stayed there for just one night clean, comfortable, nice balcony with sea view, great breakfast! private parking a vry nice place to stay (in the budget...we got a vry nice deal) recommendable!

Manfredonia does not have much to offer in Wintertime or early Spring. The hotel was fair, you do not need much more to spend a night or two in there. The rate was fair. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, we were the only customers. The appetizer with "frutti di mare" was humongous and delicious, do not miss it. Perhaps Manfredonia is a better destination in Summertime.

We were travelling from naples to vieste in Italy. Unfortunatly we lost our way and stayed in this hotel for one night. I could have stayed longer. The town it.s self is beautiful and the hotel is soo lovely and friendly. Really clean and comfortable and affordable. We had a meal and a good nights sleep before resuming our journey. Would highly recommend this to all.

We stayed here for 2 days in the outskirts of Manfredonia. Unfortunately we were unable to find much to do in the area, and our trip to the nearby Gargano National Park was ruined by rain. There did appear to be a resort area behind the hotel which could suit adults and children alike, but it was all closed. Manfredonia itself was just a giant traffic jam. The hotel was nice, and the free breakfast tasted good. Also had free secure parking a few doors down the road which was good.

The room was clean, bathroom was very, very clean and shiny. No complain about it. The rating could be five star definitely. But, the room had only narrow balcony door, all you could see was the stairs and a wall. Nothing else. It is a little disappointing, especially that we had "superior type" room. Overall it was a nice stay.

We stayed here for two separate nights right at the beginning of May, a week apart, on our way to and from the Gargano peninsula. We had a 'superior' room which was small-ish (and no hair-drier!) but very nicely appointed indeed. It was out of season so the restaurant/cafe so well advertised in the Lonely Planet guide was not open so we were recommended to try theri separate trattoria in the old town. This turned out to be very good - but not one kilometre away (as suggested to us) but two and a good 25-minute walk. Theyshould really warn people and off an alternative suggestion. On our return stop we made it clear it was too far away for us and the excellent reception staff recommended the local Pizzeria Regina which was simple, but very good, very friendly and precisely 8 minutes gentle stroll. Breakfast was OK but on our firts trip much had run out before we reached it (at about 9am) and we had to hunt around to find someone to make some coffee for us. On the second occasion, the TV in the room did not work but the staff had no solution, neither offering us a move nor even looking at the problem. They seemed to have no authority for action. All that said, we cannot commend the too reception staff too highly - they were so friendly and tried to be so helpful. But they could do with a little more management back-up!! Many of these quibbles probably relate to the time of year - but if you do open all year, you really should adjust your operation appropriately, and make any limitations clear - and then make the quality of the more limited offer as high as possible.
