Stayed for one week. Very easy journey from airport, four stops costing €5 on Metro, then a simple seven minute walk to hotel. Check in was efficient and friendly. We had a studio apartment on ground floor at front of hotel. The rooms were basic, very spacious and clean. Functional for all basic needs. Plenty of storage. Television was small and did not have any English speaking channels. We had a problem with the hot water, boiler and electricity on our first morning. The problem was quickly resolved as soon as we notified reception. Two negatives with this particular room is the noise from the road in front and the plumbing in the bathroom smelled foul. The property has a nice, quiet rooftop garden. Opposite the hotel is a pizza shop (we did not enjoy the pizza), a bakery (did not use) and a supermarket which appears to have closed down. There are three other supermarkets on the same road all within easy walking distance. The property is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Old Town and tourist hot spots, a little longer to the beach. Ideal for a short stay.

It exceeded my expectations for a 3 star property. Really nice staff who waited more than 2 hours after normal closing time of the reception as my flight was delayed

Clean, convenient and good value for money. Relatively quiet although the road outside can get busy after 8am. Friendly reception staff (don't speak much English). The apartment was roomy, very clean and perfect for what we wanted. About 30min walk into the historical centre.

About a kilometre from the rail station and the Citta Vecchia (opposite direction) this hotel was reasonably positioned to walk without baggage. The apartment was generously sized by Italian standards and had all the usual features expected by by travellers who wish to linger over their stay.the actual building is elderly but not stylish but we found it perfectly suited to our needs unlike some of the visually stunning but impractical places we have stayed at throughout Italy. The staff are friendly and helpful but I must say that the Barese dialect totally defeated my small knowledge of Italian We recommend this hotel as a cheap and good place to stay. John & Susan Young.
