Hotels Near Lido San Francesco Bari in Bari

Booked two deluxe rooms (one for single pax and the other for two pax) but was given two rooms of different sizes instead - not very impressed to say the least! Room decor has seen its better days to be honest! Plastic tables and chairs in the room for a 4-star property are pure cheapskates! Air conditioning still hasn’t been switched back on in late April when temperature already reaching low 20 Celsius! Had to stay and sleep in the room with window shut because of noisy disco noises nearby lasting beyond 2 am in the wee hours of Sunday morning ! Got ‘roasted and baked’ in the room with no ventilation as a result - not very ideal when covid is still raging! Still couldn’t understand why the hotel still insists on ‘no self-service’ for buffet breakfast - apparently in the name of covid! ‘Accidentally’ tried to pick up some breakfast items by myself on arrival as there was no sign on display stating the not-so-obvious ‘no self-service’ policy but was told off by one of 2 staff members on duty with plate being ‘snatched’ from my hands! The paradox being this practice caused long queue with only 2 staff members available to pick and dish out items for guests! Long queue and mass gathering of guests would not spread covid but picking up your own food with disinfected hands would apparently! Few ironic observations made though! The two specific staff members on food picking duty didn’t wear gloves at all when picking food with thongs for guests - is that even covid-safe??? One of the two members on that specific food picking duty went on to pick food for guests after clearing and cleaning up table with bare hands and then went over to do their food picking duty for other guests without washing or disinfecting their hands - covid safe I fear not??? If insisting on ‘no self-service’ policy, make sure you have sufficient staff to handle constant stream of guests coming in for breakfast! I was certainly being put off by either long queue or absent staff to help pick the food I wanted!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in August for 1 week. The staff could not have been more helpful. They advised us on all the public transport we would need, how to reach the Old Town (Which is near the hotel) The hotel is very clean and we had a wonderful breakfast each day. It was our first visit to Bari, and we will be back as it has everything we needed for our break. We will be staing again.

The bb is located in a beautiful gentleman palace, well maintained in the centre. The room was wide and comfortable. I just advised to put new anti-slide on the steps leading to the shower, for greater safety. As a further advice, perhaps more important, is to put double glasses in the windows, to insonorize the room, because it feels all the night movement and the subsequent cleaning of the early hours of the morning. Very kind Claudia, the girl I spoke to at the phone

We found this baby accidentally I have to say we found very good. That kind boy who answered us at the phone and then welcomed us at our arrival. Extremely spacious room is very clean. Super breakfast made in the bar under Jerome with cappuccino and scream flirts 😋. Also very comfortable because the conventional parking 2 minutes walk is perfect. It will be our first choice when we come back to Bari. The only advice I give to the property is to have an additional eye on the maintenance and use of things in the room but really simple things. A greeting next time. Joseph from Milan marine

It’s a clean and well organised place with high ceiling rooms that are pretty inviting. Check in works via a link and requires a mobile internet connection for the first check in. That works well if you have a SIM card with internet access if not, then you should plan for it. We had a two room apartment for three people. The smaller room was a walk through to get to the bathroom. The bathroom looks newly renovated and was clean. The door is foldable though and very thin. The kitchen us shared with others and has some basic utensils (not for big cooking). The location is quite and rather central. So you get to the old part of town in ca 10 minutes and the central train station in 15 minutes.

A somewhat old hotel - at least from the outside appearance and the first impression of the room. However, the bathroom was great, everything was new and modern, great rain shower. Huge area with conference rooms and dozens of free parking spaces. The sports room is a dream and huge, sauna and indoor pool are theoretically also available - unfortunately both are not open. The breakfast had a lot of variety, but the presentation still had potential. Nice staff, disinfectants were also available in the entrance area and sports room. We asked for a quiet room and got one at the back, no noise from the street - gorgeous. All in all a nice stay at a fair price, including breakfast and fitness room. Gladly again!

From the first moment, the check in, then entering the room, everything was perfect. Cool, clean and quiet. There is a busy road outside but the sound insulation prevented any disturbance. The breakfast on the roof was superb. The restaurant was good. I am not convinced everything was made fresh to order, but what we had was very satisfactory and the staff were professional and friendly. You need a car to use this hotel. Its a bit isolated. The nearby town of Torre da Mare is not really of interest. I thought it was dirty compared with other places we had visited in Puglia. The hotel itself is excellent. Stayed three nights: we slept well and I would go there again.
