לא חושבת על משהו מיוחד לשפר

Pros:

Blízkosť vlakovej a autobusovej stanice. Čistá izba, aj kúpeľňa. V izbe je minibar so spoplatnenými minerálkami a trezor zdarma.Raňajková ponuka plne postačujúca aj s výbornou kávou a čerstvým ovocím..rychly check in aj check out.

Cons:

Izba už mala niečo za sebou, v kúpeľni nie všetko fungovalo na 100%,chýbali nám jednorazové papučky. Na oknách boli rolety, ktoré sa veľmi ťažko sťahovali, klíma sa nedala vypnúť, kurila na 25C/boli sme v marci/,rosili sa z toho okná. Posteľ príšerne vrzgala pri každom pohybe. Z hotela je to do centra min 20minut. V okolí nie sú reštaurácie,treba ísť do mesta alebo využiť tu hotelovú.

Great!
Pros:

The location is great, 2 minutes away from the train station, with many connections and near restaurants and shops. The staff was really nice. We also received a free drink at checking-in and free umbrellas for the rainy days. The breakfast was great. The rooms were very clean. We will definetely book again if we come back to Bari.

Cons:

Just to say something - the cushions were too soft for our taste, but it is just about a preference. Also, we could easily hear the noise from other rooms, which can be annoying.

Clean, well‑located hotel with good breakfast and many dining options nearby.
Pros:

Hotel Excelsior Bari has an excellent central location, immediately next to Bari Centrale railway station and the main bus terminal, making it very convenient for transport connections and exploring. Rooms are cleaned daily, and the breakfast is nice and varied.

Cons:

For us, the only downside was that the hotel restaurant does not offer dedicated children’s meal options, which may be something to consider if you plan to have lunch or dinner at the hotel. That said, there are many great dining options nearby, so this was not a real issue- just something to keep in mind for future stays.

Pros:

The Excelsior Bari is a solid mid range hotel. We picked it as we needed parking and they have a garage in the basement. The room was a good size and comfortable enough. The location was good, only a 15 minute walk to the old town.They have a really good restaurant and the food was very reasonably priced.

Cons:

The AC in the room seemed to have a mind of its own

Fine if you need to be close to the station.
Pros:

I booked this hotel to be close to the station, which it is. The breakfast is VERY good.

Cons:

The single room I stayed in was basic , single bed, one pillow , aircon didnt work and certainly didn’t warrant the price I paid.

Pros:

Nagyon jó az elhelyezkedése, a Centrale pályaudvartól 2 percre. A személyzet nagyon kedves, segítőkész. A reggeli választéka tartalmaz melegételt, felvágottakat, sajtokat, paradicsomot, salátát, magvakat, müzliket, joghurtokat, gyümölcsöket,édes süteményeket. Az ágyak elég kényelmesek.

Cons:

A hotelben megszálló szervezett csoportok, akik a továbbindulásuk miatt egyszerre jelentek meg a reggelinél, így elég nagy volt a tumultus.

Juste pour un transit
Pros:

Nous avons été upgradé dans la suite junior deluxe.
L’avis porte donc sur cette suite.
Spacieux (grand salon, chambre, sdd) et fonctionnel, lumineux avec des fenêtres dans toutes les pièces. Propre.
Proximité de la gare et supermarché Lidl à côté.
Machine à café dans la chambre.

Cons:

Le salon est très grand mais pas la chambre ni la sdd. Surprenant de mettre des lits jumeaux dans une suite et d’avoir une petite sdd sans baignoire.
Décoration très froide, sans charme, d’un autre temps tant pour la chambre que les couloirs ou la salle du petit-déjeuner.
Insonorisation avec l’extérieure insuffisante (klaxons, sirènes, alarme de voiture).
Vue pas jolie.
Pas de rangement dans la sdd.
Bouteille d’eau payante.
Petit-déjeuner buffet avec large choix de produits mais manquant de qualité. Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas plusieurs machines à café pour une si grande salle et que le café ne soit pas meilleur. On est quand même en Italie.
