HOTEL EXCELSIOR BARI – BY FARACE HOTELS

The room and bathroom were comfortable. However, the walls are not soundproof, so you can hear noise from neighboring rooms. The beds were comfortable, and the A/C worked great. The breakfast was good, with a nice variety of options. My only constructive criticism is for the front desk staff. A warmer smile and a friendlier welcome would make guests feel more valued and create a better first impression.

This is great hotel for a travel base. It is five minutes walk from the Bari Central train station and the main coach station as well. So you can easily day trip to different places in Pulia and also travel to anywhere in Italy by train or coach. I stopped 7 nights in the top floor junior suite, which had a large furnished living room and separate double bedroom and it had triple aspect views. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice location. Spacious room as indicated. Excellent breakfast with a large variety. I’ve got for what I paid.

Great location to train station. Simple, comfortable room!

Clean room, good breakfast, staff were amazing and very accessible as it is near the train and bus station.

The shower fixture in room 246 needs repair or replacement. The dinner (salmon) was tasty but incredibly small portion.

This hotel is next to train station. To get to old town and shopping area you have to go under the tracks via a walkway. There are a lot of questionable characters around so it didn’t feel all that safe especially at night. It’s a good overall hotel other than location. Food was good. Free coffee at the lobby. No lotion no tissue in the room. You have to pay 5 euro deposit for a second key to the room. They reimburse at check out but never had to do this before!?

Nothing special. Just enjoyable enough stay.

We enjoyed our stay , breakfast standard .

Hotel was outdated, old building, rooms quite spacious buf a bit dated. Rooms are clean enough. Location was superb, right next to lidl and 5 minutes away from central station and terminal bus.

The room was basic and clean. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was adequate. The reception staff were indifferent at best and somewhat rude. I don’t fully understand why the rooms have a kettle, tea, coffee and sugar but don’t supply milk. I was told by a very rude receptionist if I wanted milk I could go to the bar. Luckily there is a Lidl’s next door where you can buy milk and put it in the fridge in the room where they keep the bottles of water you can buy. There are a few staff members who are charming and friendly but overall I can honestly say after many years of travelling throughout Italy this is the most unfriendly hotel we have ever stayed in. To the very few members of staff who always said good morning and good evening…thank you to all three of you.

Very central location to train station and old Bari in general Excellent breakfast Helpful staff

Very convenient for the station

Amazing breakfast sooo worth it very close to the station great staff!

We were transferred to the sister hotel at the last minute before our stay so can't say what this hotel was actually like but the one we stayed in was great for one night after a late flight. It was easy to get to by the airport bus too.

Breakfast was excellent. Variety including fresh seasonal fruit, breads, cold cuts and juice. Dining area was very pretty. I was pleasantly surprised to be offered a welcome drink and some light snacks at the bar. Also every day in the bar lounge area they have set up a coffee, tea, water, and juice station. This came in very handy in between my touring when I’d come back to the hotel for a short rest. You could literally walk to the train station in three minutes, and you have access to public transit. The room was very spacious and clean vast majority of the staff are helpful and competent. I do find that the front desk is overwhelmed as there are many large tours that check in and check out. So if you wanna ask them a question about where to go and some Logistics, they do not have much time to help. The bed was comfortable, but it could be improved with a quality mattress pad that many hotels use.

Comfortable hotel. Helpful staff. Great breakfast.

The hotel is on a busy street and the traffic noise makes it impossible to sleep. The staff, old gentleman, who waited in the breakfast room is very rude and seems to be unhappy to help out the patrons.

Good spot near the station.

Convenient for the train station however not so convenient for restaurants but the room was clean, comfortable and spacious
