Biscardi Hotel

Stayed here pre and post cruise. Loved everything about our stay here! The service is absolutely amazing! Everyone is so warm and helpful. The room was very spacious (family of 4), clean and stocked. We were at the cafe daily! The desserts are delicious, coffee and service were amazing. This hotel is a 20 minute walk from Old Town, which was prefect for us. I enjoyed being close enough to visit, but also being a little out of the way and getting a better feel for local culture. Highly recommended!

Lovely hotel (I had booked the Guest House but got an upgrade to the hotel because they were working on the B&B). They had just opened it and everything was new, fresh and clean. Lovely desk staff (thank you so much for your kindness, Valeria!) and the private garage is a great thing in a busy town like Bari. I paid 18,00 euro a day which is a good fare in Bari, where garages cost 2-3 euros per hour. Just a little scary when the doors close automatically and you're still inside but not to worry, you can open everything back from inside the garage! :D The location can be a little noisy, since it's close to a railroad crossing and its bells are quite loud. There are not many trains during the night, though, at least I didn't hear any, they start in the morning. The city council probably just changed the roads around the hotel (shiny new signs everywhere) because Google maps gets completely crazy when trying to find the little alley behind the hotel where the garage is located and instructs you to go down roads that are now closed for traffic in the direction you're coming from, so pay attention until Maps gets recalibrated! Lovely complimentary toilet set with toothbrush & toothpaste, body lotion, shower cap and sewing kit (very handy, I needed to repair something). The breakfast area is also a lovely bistrot on the street side, open all day. Didn't try their full breakfast, though, just their cappuccino and croissants which were nice. To be improved: I liked the place very much, these are just constructive suggestions. Maybe management can ask Ferrovie Sud Est to lower the volume of their railroad crossing a bit. :) And it would be nice to have coffee and coffee milk too in the bedroom, not only tea.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The breakfast was exceptional, offering an authentic Italian taste with top-quality coffee and outstanding service from Miriam. The hotel itself was spotless, extremely comfortable, and perfectly located—just a 15-minute walk from the city center. The staff, especially Valeria, were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!
