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
