Top hotels in Old Town Bari
Palazzo Calò
We stayed at several hotels throughout Puglia and this was the most disappointing. The staff was rarely available to answer any questions (no one at the front desk most of the time). The room and common stairwell weren’t kept very clean. Breakfast was very limited also. We wouldn’t stay there ...

Il Trespolo degli Angeli
The location was an absolutely gem. You were close to everything, the staff was friendly and helpful. A great experience and highly recommend.

Torre Tresca 2
The location is great, however the check in process was more stress than needed. The property owner needs to be available at check in and without a phone call. We have traveled for over 25 years and without data or a phone and haven't had any problems checking in to hotels, pensions, hostels, etc ...

Torre Tresca B&B
Very easy to find and right opposite a car park. Room was large, immaculate and unique.
