Basilico Italian Bistrot - BARI

Fantastic hotel, modern, clean and welcoming. Rooms are a good size, air conditioned and a fabulous shower. Only negative is there’s very little storage for clothes. Very comfortable bed and fridge replenished daily with water. Lovely pool, part is a jacuzzi and very quiet. Breakfast is amazing with everything you could wish for, fresh fruit, cereal, pastries, sausages, bacon and eggs. Most days we took pastries/cakes back to our room to eat later. Free coffee available day and night. Laundry room costing 4 euro for wash including detergent, tumble dryer is free! This is a business hotel in a residential area and situated 2/3 miles from Bari old town. There are restaurants within 10/15 min walk and taxi to train station 10 euros. We then explored the region by train and bus very cheaply. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good base to explore Puglia or chill by the pool for the day.

Overall very good hotel. Clean, well run and more than adequate Very good breakfast with fresh fruit available. Very helpful staff, especially Antonella, who did her best to contest a ticket I received and also gave me a fantastic recommendation to visit Matera, which wasn't on our list but was fantastic. Easy to find free parking on the road in front of hotel for our rental car. However, location isn't perfect, it's in the middle of a residential area and 35 minutes walk from Bari Centre Pool doesn't open until June and the gym is very basic. Free bicycles have no gears and are bulky, so cannot ride anywhere significant

What a wonderful hotel !!! Check in was the fastest I’ve experienced. Rooms are awesome. Just had dinner in Basilico restaurant and was blown away. Thanks you Marco and Alicia for your exceptional service and wine recommendation (great local wine!! . Chef, you’re only 26 and have a huge career ahead of you. I’ve spent 43 years in hospitality and this is one of the best hotel experience I’ve had. So unexpected also because it’s not a fancy 5 star. These guys nail it. When we come back to Bari, we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you so much guys. You rock!!!

Beautiful structure, modern and clean. great location.

Very cozy and super clean hotel, staff always available as well to explain the bus lines and trains to move to bars and surroundings
