JR Hotels Bari Grande Albergo delle Nazioni

Great Hotel & Fantastic location I stayed here a few months ago and it was really nice. I enjoyed the room & the decor. What does set this hotel a part though is the location. It is hypercentral and at the same time on the sea side, so really enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Absolutely perfect location, with exceptional views. Basically right across from the Ruota Panoramica Blue Sky Wheel, and all of the food vendors, this hotel is in close proximity to lots of fun and food. There is a beach just down the ocean side boardwalk, about a 7 min walk away. The lobby is interesting. It's definitely spacious, clean and refined, but the sparkling floor was a little unusual. The staff here is highly capable and kind. The room was spacious and had a balcony with views up and down the coast. It has a modern interior that is certainly not my taste, but I'm an old fashioned guy. Strangely, there were no wine openers in the room and they had none to offer at the front desk. Given the fact that we were in Italy, I would have expected this to be a basic standard. That said, you can buy a bottle from the ground floor bar and take it up to your room. There is a roof top restaurant with excellent views from the inside and outside tables. We had a car in Italy and this hotel has valet parking, so you don't have to worry about parking in the impossible city of Bari. If you opt to visit Bari, I would recommend this hotel.

It's fine, room was small and the decorating is a bit strange. Rooftop pool and lounge area is top class definitely 5 star there, location on the seafront was also amazing. It is absolutely not a 5 star hotel though and don't let a lot of fake reviews tell you otherwise, incredibly noisy, for some reason they let the bar bang out techno music till midnight and we were 4 floors away from it. It is a solid 3.5-4 star hotel, it's clean with nice views and a lovely rooftop but noisy. Also, the staff will tell you the station is a 10 minute walk, it's closer to 20 in honesty if you have big suitcases like we did. All in all, its a solid hotel but it is pricey, loud and overstates itself as a 5 star hotel.
