Hotel berhampiran Gagliano Arte Bari, Bari

Really enjoyed my experience at the Olive Tree in comparison to the other hostels I have visited in Italy. The staff are really friendly and helpful with knowledge on day-trips away from Bari and how to use the public transportation to get to a location. What I found really nice is that the would talk you through what each place was like, rather than refering to a QR code which other hostels now seem to prefer. Beds, bathroom and kitchen was clean - and there was also a lovely terrace outside. Good location to access public transport as well as getting into Old and New Town.

As part of a group tour of Southern italy, we arrived in Bari and stayed at the only 5 star hotel in Bari-the iH hotels Bari Grande delle Nazioni, situated conveniently on the Lungomare. it was a nice sized hotel with a large lobby. The room I received was large, clean, spacious with a lot of natural light and high ceilings. The floor was wood, no carpets anywhere. The decor is somewhat dated but functional. It came with a large double bed, not too soft and there was a nice sized wide screen TV to view opposite the bed. . On the bed, there was a packet containing a robe and slippers. The bathroom is spacious, a lot of natural light and a toilet, bidet. and a shower with good water pressure. There was a large free standing closet [there are no built in closets in Italy] and in terms of temperature control, the room was comfortable. [This could be adjusted] A safe is in the bottom of the closet. Full mini bar. Room service was available if so desired and there was an electric coffee pot and adequate coffee and tea service but this lacked stirrers of any kind and powdered cream. You had to drink coffee black.[Caveat: clean the electric coffee pot out before you decide to use it.] Snacks were available for purchase. Steps are not clearly marked throughout the hotel and bannisters are at a minimum so one must be careful when walking. The floors are marble and one step is not clearly discernable from the next. Walk carefully, a fall could ruin your vacation. The breakfast was located on the 6th floor and was delicious with many choices-fresh fruit, croissants, breads of many kinds, prosciutto, fresh cheeses, etc. We had dinner with the group at this hotel since it was our first night there and the food and wine choices were superb-the appetizer we had was a penne pasta al dente peppered with cherry tomatoes and a tangy sauce. The entree was roasted chicken over potatoes with gravy. The Puglian wines were excellent. Overall, it was a very nice stay and i would recommend and return.

AC doesn’t cool well, WiFi too week to use, elevator walls stained and dirty, carpets worn, no outlets by the bed, windows blocked by concrete panels, no shelf in the shower…the place just needs a total face lift. Shame on my tour company for booking me here. I won’t be using Firebird Tours again.

Stanza minimalista e buia. Ampio bagno pulito e confortevole, con una grande doccia ma con un lavabo ”mini”, soprattutto se rapportato alle ampie dimensioni del bagno stesso. Letto comodo ma con un fastidioso cigolio ogni volta che ci si gira o ci si siede. Buona la pulizia. Non so dire del condizionatore, perché non ne abbiamo usufruito. Non c'è la colazione ma questo non è un problema perché ci sono due ottimi bar in via Argiro, proprio adiacenti alla struttura. In pieno centro e quindi in ottima posizione per visitare la città, nuova e vecchia. Ho comunque trovato buono il rapporto qualità/prezzo e mi sento di dire che ci tornerei.

Posizione ottima...in 15 minuti sei a Bari vecchia e sul lungomare....camera bella, pulita curata...gentilissima Cinzia e carina col mio cane....tutto okokok...piccole carinerie come il vino offerto consiglio e se capita ci ritorneremo

This is a clean, modern, welcoming, well equipped hotel with good sized rooms for a very reasonable price. The included breakfast is good with quite a lot of options. The free tea and coffee station and the reasonably priced honour system snack bar were both appreciated by us. We did not get a good night’s sleep unfortunately. We were on a non smoking floor but had horrible strong cigarette smells pumping into our room out of our air con. It’s 2023 - just make the whole hotel non-smoking as it does not work floor by floor. There was awful Muzak music (like piper music in a supermarket) coming from somewhere for most of the night, This is not the best place to stay to visit Bari as a tourist. It is in the somewhat bleak new residential area. It is a very long walk along uninteresting roads to get to the beautiful old town or you can spring for a taxi. There is not much at all in the nearest vicinity apart from ugly modern high rise buildings and scrubby lots and construction sites, although we found a local pub Malto’s 2 streets away which was pretty good. It is very close to the autostrada and just 15 minutes drive to the airport. The latter was the appeal for us for 1 night only for an early morning flight but earlier in our Puglia travels we stayed in the old town and if you are a tourist, you will have a much better experience if you do so. The hotel seemed full of tradespeople and other workers so this might be its niche market rather than tourists.

Everybody said the breakfast was amazing, we 100% agree! The best breakfast we ever had, as a very experienced traveler. We love this hotel and won’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Ein etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel - zumindest vom äußeren Erscheinungsbild und dem ersten Zimmer Eindruck her. Das Bad war jedoch tip top, alles neu und modern, super Regendusche. Riesen Areal mit Tagungsräumen und zig kostenlosen Parkplätzen. Der Sportraum ist ein Traum und riesig groß, Sauna und Indoor Pool stehen theoretisch auch zur Verfügung - leider beides nicht geöffnet. Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig, die Aufmachung hätte jedoch noch Potential. Nettes Personal, Desinfektionsmittel gab es auch im Eingangsbereich und Sport Raum. Wir hatten um ein ruhiges Zimmer gebeten und eines nach hinten raus bekommen, kein Lärm von der Straße - traumhaft. Insgesamt ein schöner Aufenthalt zu einem fairen Preis, inklusive Frühstück und Fitness Raum. Gerne wieder!

Hôtel très bien tenu à quelques 5 kilomètres de Giovinazzo donc voiture obligatoire. Espaces communs charmants , chambres standard sans charme mais très propres et confortables : bonne literie, serviettes bain changées tous les jours et air conditionné efficace. À savoir : pas de vraie plage . Je recommande pour un court séjour comme le nôtre.
