Mercure Villa Romanazzi Carducci Bari, Bari

Nice Hotel close to Bari main train station

The hotel property itself was lovely and the grounds are truly beautiful. Breakfast was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful in every regard. Two criticisms: (1) the hotel is located in a rather "industrial" or blue collar area with auto repair shops and late night bars. (2) The hotel itself has no restaurant and should have one given that its location makes getting to a restaurant quite a hike--approx 20+ minutes and through the train station to get to Bari's city center. We felt safe making the walk, but it was not convenient.

Reception staff were friendly and efficient . Restaurant staff were very good and welcoming.

The front desk service was very good as was the restaurant. Lovely setting, near the train station.

I returned to this place after 3 years because it is like an oasis in a busy city. The staff are friendly, the rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet includes a chef who will cook some breakfast for you and there is one lady who always has such a lovely smile on her face to really wake you up. The fitness room is state of the art and pure luxury. However it could do with some yoga equipment. What I did not like was the disco place adjacent to my room which played loud music late at night at random intervalls almost every night of the week.
