Where do I begin about this terrible experience in a very poor located hotel! To begin with for anybody who’s looking to book this hotel, there is no air conditioner in the bedroom, so be ready to sweat all night with zero ability to get air. The bed you will be sleeping on is equivalent of a bed for a five-year-old girl that’s on spring mattress that’s laying on a chain-link fence. Save your money, and if you want to stay somewhere, that is truly clean, truly pleasant, Il Leon D ORO. Will be your best option! It is so bad, so uncomfortable and so unaccommodating that even if they offered me a free stay, I wouldn’t take it
I hope to save lots of people time, money and FRUSTRATION as you sweat a room that will be 90 degrees STAY AWAY!!!! Run

The staff were extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and quite large (got family room). We were a bit hot night as the ac didn’t appear to work or work well. The breakfast was good. The location was excellent with plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops, etc in walking distance and the area was safe. I would personally skip dinner at the hotel restaurant (which I don’t think was really part of the hotel). The ambiance was good and the staff friendly. However, the food was not very good, very small portions and took forever to arrive. We did not complain, finished our meal, paid the bill, and went to get pizza afterwards which was awesome.

What was good:

Staff were excellent at reception and for both breakfast and for dinner. The location was perfect in the old city.

What was not so good:
The room was hot without any capacity to change the AC temperature and stayed hot even after turning off heater. Opening the balcony door did nothing to help reduce the heat in the loft bedroom. The lack of cushions or side tables for the couch made posture sitting a bit hard. Light in the hanging cupboard couldn’t be turned off. Fridge was tiny and not much room for personal drinks or food.

Lots of pluses but some things to be aware of

Positives:
- Great staff: friendly, helpful, very responsive to requests
- Location: Near main sites & places to eat
- Comfort: good bed & pillows. AC worked well
- Lighting: Good in the bathroom especially over the mirror (easy to apply makeup)
- Good wifi
- Nice shower: rain can & handheld
- Thick bath robes
- Full length mirror

Negatives:
- Location: while convenient for sight seeing it was hard to access the hotel for arrival & departure as the historic centre is closed to cars during part of the day & even when it is open there is no road directly to the hotel (must drag bags 20m over uneven cobblestones (harder to do than it sounds)
- Breakfast: limited options & little change over several days. More fruit would be good
- Lighting: while good in the bathroom it was extremely limited in our room
- Room had a balcony but there was a plant at the access door & no chairs outside - our idea of having a drink on the balcony was not possible.
- Safe: on a bottom shelf - hard to reach
- Palazzo Maurelli: Slow elevator & stairs are metal mesh. If you have vertigo or are afraid of heights the stairs might be an issue
- Palazzo Calo: Former guest terrace is now a restaurant so there is no area to sit outside (terrace on Palazzo Murelli is very small with 2 uncomfortable chairs so we did not use it
- Bistro on the terrace: very small menu lacking a vegetarian option

It was super fun to stay in the old town in Bari- walkable to so many great shops and restaurants on the sea. It's kind of amazing how this old historic place was retrofitted to be made into a modern hotel. While we were there the air conditioning went out in our room and it was super hot. The bed wasn't great and there were lots of stairs. We did feel like the hotel had great service and a nice breakfast. If you want the old world experience- this is for you.

Great location just inside the wall of the old city. The restaurant food was fabulous. Besides breakfast with as many cappuccinos as you want as well as pastries, we also had dinner in their restaurant. Outstanding entrees and desserts!! We had a room with a loft where a comfy bed. However the stairs up were quite steep and their were no spindles below the railing making it tricky coming down them. The front desk provide us a map of the inside walls of Bari with the must see sites. Great anchor spot to settle and take day trips. (Alberobello is worth a visit. We did it by bus and it was a bit tricky to figure out the schedules) We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was in a great location just on the outskirts of the old city. This made it really easy to walk around and when we had a car we just pulled in just down the street to load luggage. I will say you have to be conscience of when you get your car in there if you're using one since they close it down at certain hours. The hotel room was very large for the one we booked.
