Best Western Executive Business Hotel

The hotel is located in the centre of Bari, just a stone throw away from Barivecchia, seafront and San Nicola. Special thanks to Mr. Michele, who made great coffee and gave us tips on what to visit and eat in Bari. less

The location is perfect for exploring the city. It is a very basic European hotel IME. Basic breakfast offered - no frills room. Old building, so not enough empty outlets for plugging in computer, etc. Had to unplug TV and lamps. Bed old but comfortable enough. Pillow very old apparently - smelled bad. No refrigerator in room. Does have elevator - thank heavens. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I would return for that reason. less

I’m not sure what some of the bad reviews are about. I’ve travelled a lot for business in the US and this hotel was absolutely fine. I mean it’s not the Mayfair or the Ritz, but it doesn’t claim to be. In fact, I’d say for a three star hotel it gives incredible value. My room was super clean and comfortable. Great linens, soap, etc. marble baseboards and steps. Ceramic floors. Tasteful. More importantly, the staff were very kind. I arrived extremely early as it happened and they accommodated me as soon as they could. On check out they let me stay an extra half an hour. Both front desk women were very nice. The coffee man was super sweet, too. It’s got an ideal location for walking around town which I appreciated as a single female traveler. The palace Fizzarotti is right next door and if you can arrange a tour I would recommend it. Honestly, for the price you can’t go wrong. In fact, some of the other highly rated hotels were in areas I would not want to stay. This is much better. It was a bit noisy at night but it’s urban. I always listen to music off my phone before I get to sleep anyway. less

Everything here is budget. Very thin walls. Hear all your neighbours, every thing!. Hard beds. Thin hard pillows. No kettle or fridge. Tiny room. Tiny window looking into a stairwell - without stairs 🙄. Nice reception staff. Clean. One night enough. Would pay more next time to be more comfortable. Good location. Free wifi. Get what you pay for. less

Overall, pretty pleased with this choice and reflects what we paid for Staff - very friendly and helpful Room - clean and fairly modern Lobby - a little old and not to the usual BW standards Breakfast - free but quite basic - can't really grumble though Location - only a 10/15 walk from the old centre so great position Others - aircon didn't work so with the windows open it was a little noisy - about 20/25 minutes walk from the train station - the airport bus stops on the opposite corner - cash point down the road less
