The hotel is right across the train station and right by a great grocery store called Lidl. We walked to the district one which is essentially old town with the marina, many restaurants, excellent local shops, and churches, beautiful Italian narrow streets. I wouldn’t recommend to drive unless you’re really experienced..

Lovely staff, fantastic breakfast selection, great location (just a couple of minutes to Bari Central station).
Would recommend if you’re using Bari as base to explore more of Puglia.
Approx. 25 min walk to Bari old town but that didn’t bother us & plus we wanted to be near the station.
