Modern hotel next to train station
Beautiful and modern hotel right next to the trsin station in Bari. The rooms are big and immaculately clean. The location is good being steps away from the new town and around 15 minutes flat walk from the old town.

Bari overnight
Hotel staff were fantastic from the moment we arrived and very accommodation throughout. The room itself is very basic but it was good for what we needed it for. Would return as it is conveniently located close to the train station and next to a supermarket

The hotel is right across the train station and right by a great grocery store called Lidl. We walked to the district one which is essentially old town with the marina, many restaurants, excellent local shops, and churches, beautiful Italian narrow streets. I wouldn’t recommend to drive unless you’re really experienced..

Lovely staff, fantastic breakfast selection, great location (just a couple of minutes to Bari Central station).
Would recommend if you’re using Bari as base to explore more of Puglia.
Approx. 25 min walk to Bari old town but that didn’t bother us & plus we wanted to be near the station.
