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.

Excellence in Bari

Thank you for a wonderful stay in Bari. Really easy to find, across the road from the rear entrance of Bari Centrale station, just past Lidl. The room was clean and tidy, with comfy bed, fully functioning A/C, and a very handy fridge and kettle. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of hot and cold options, sweet & savoury, and great coffee. Some nice touches, such as a welcome drink and nibbles in the bar on the first evening. Also a free to use coffee machine and other drinks available in the bar area during the day. The hotel was a perfect base for exploring other parts of Puglia by train.... Monopoli, Polignano, Ostuni, Lecce, Locorotondo, Alberobello, and Matera. And of course, Bari itself, especially the old town and harbour.

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.

Hotel Excelsior

I had a very pleasant 2 days stay at this hotel. Both, my room and my bathroom were clean and spacious. The hotel features a bar, a restaurant and a gym, all very good. Upon arrival you receive a welcome drink (nice touch). The restaurant has a lunch special Monday to Friday with a variety of food. The waiter explained the different dishes to me. Breakfast is great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Next door is a supermarket , and the train station is just ahead. It is a short walk to the old town with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops.

The stay at this hotel is very pleasant My room and bathroom are clean and spacious. Personnel is friendly and helpful. A bar, restaurant and gym are on the premises, all very nice . They feature a lunch special Mon-Fri with a variety of choices. The helpful waiter explained the different dishes to me. Front staff was so helpful with directions to the Old Town which is easily walkable from the hotel. There is a grocery store next door. Also the train station is close by. The view from my room is not great, but it is not too important.

Escorts and made up charges

Charged my card for cleaning. When cleaning was included. Almost a brothel given both sides of the room were occupied 24/7 by prostitutes. Surly management and inclined to steal as per above. Do not recommend under any circumstances. Go elsewhere. Not everyone in this beautiful city behaves like this!
