Mercure Villa Romanazzi Carducci Bari

“Very nice hotel but not centrally located”

This is a solid hotel. The only down side is the location. It’s on the other side of the train tracks from the center of Bari. It’s about a 15 walk to the train station and another 15-20 to get to old town. If all you’re doing is using Bari as a base to travel from, then this is a good option for y… more

This is a solid hotel. The only down side is the location. It’s on the other side of the train tracks from the center of Bari. It’s about a 15 walk to the train station and another 15-20 to get to old town. If all you’re doing is using Bari as a base to travel from, then this is a good option for you. If you plan to go into Bari every day, it’s a considerable walk that wears thin after a few days. Going back to the hotel after a day walking around to relax before going back out, well, I didn’t want to walk back to town. There is a cute local neighborhood behind the hotel that does have some restaurants if you want to stay in the area. Now, about the hotel. The rooms were nicely appointed, roomy enough. The bed was comfortable, shower narrow and long, good water pressure and sufficient. Service was great there. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was plentiful. Lots of options - eggs made to order, pastries, breads, some salads, fruit, yogurt, cereal, a coffee machine and more. The pool was cold though (not heated) there were some people swimming. Nice lobby area, small bar and seating area but comfortable to sit an have a cocktail. Again, all in all I recommend this hotel. You just have to decide if it’s located conveniently for you.

“Definitely good enough”

Stay was better than ok. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and quiet, breakfast was ok. Only drawback was the location. It was a good 20/25 minute walk to the old city but very doable.

“Clean, efficient”

We stayed for one night taking an apartment, which was modern and very clean. The hotel has a large parking place and you can easily walk to old Bari in 20-25 minutes without worrying about the car. The reception is a bit cramped, but all worked well.

“A super clean hotel with a beautiful garden, good beds, and a very - very poor breakfast.”

A very good hotel with friendly and helpful staff, a super beautiful garden around the hotel, especially good is the swimming pool and deckchairs around it.

A very good hotel with friendly and helpful staff, a super beautiful garden around the hotel, especially good is the swimming pool and deckchairs around it. The garden view from the hotel window is fantastically beautiful both at night and during the day. The breakfast arrangement is very poor and strange, only one coffee machine is available, with a constant queue, and when will it be full or will the milk and beans run out? The warm meal is only an omelette, and even that gets cold while you wait in line for coffee. The fish is constantly running out, not even porridge made with water can be found. Fresh orange juice is available separately from the bar at an additional cost. In short, the breakfast would need a very critical review by the hotel management, the same thing every day, or nothing. Another embarrassing note is that toilet bowls could sometimes be used to destroy bacteria using a duck neck.
