The hotel rooms were so small and almost unfurnished, but the dining experience was decent. The cleaning service, although a bit late, was satisfactory. However, there was a constant smell in the rooms that was off-putting.

I found the hotel to be clean with all the necessary amenities, but there were some minor touches needed to enhance the comfort level. The proximity to other guests was a bit noticeable especially with the temperature being warmer at night, which could have been more comfortable for a 4-star rating.

The room was clean and had all the amenities needed, but it felt like a few touches could have made it more comfortable for a 4-star stay. The temperature being 29 degrees at 11 pm was slightly uncomfortable.
Service

Although the staff were friendly, there were some lapses in service, like not being attentive enough in the restaurant or failing to deliver important messages promptly. However, the one interaction about the plum cake and cornetto was really lovely.

The hotel is well-located, particularly close to Bari Centrale train station, making it convenient for travelers. However, the general area seems to lack appeal and could use some improvement.
Dining

The dining experience was below expectations for a 4-star hotel. The food was poor, and I feel they could certainly improve to meet the standards one would expect in Italy, known for its culinary delights.

The facilities were sufficient but nothing extraordinary. They could enhance the overall guest experience with some improvements.

The hotel's location is very convenient, especially for train connections and public transport, making it easy to get around. The service was exceptionally friendly and caring, making me feel right at home. However, the dining experience was subpar with limited options, and the rooms lacked warmth during the summer, resulting in discomfort. Despite these issues, the close proximity to the train station is a significant advantage.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. The location was convenient, and the breakfast was delightful. However, the dining could use a little improvement, offering more choices would be great. The value for money was excellent, but Wi-Fi came at an extra cost.

The hotel is conveniently located near Bari Centrale train station, making it easy to access public transport. The rooms, although clean, felt like they needed some improvements to match a 4-star standard. The service was lacking in English proficiency and attentiveness. The dining experience had limited options and stale food. Despite its drawbacks, the location is a major plus for transportation convenience.

The hotel is conveniently located near Bari Centrale, making it easy to explore the surrounding areas by train. The rooms, while comfortable, were not the cleanest, yet served their purpose well. The service was helpful and efficient, especially during breakfast. The dining options were not as expected for a 4-star venue. The hotel's proximity to the train station was a big plus for tired travelers like us.
