Hotel Moderno

The hotel is conveniently situated a few blocks from the train station, making it easy to travel to near-by towns by Trenitalia. The neighborhood is lackluster and seems to be inhabited by many immigrants. We always felt safe, although the streets are poorly cleaned and maintained. The hotel itself is updated beautifully with good-sized rooms and stylish bathrooms. Cleaning service was daily. We heard no noise from adjacent rooms or from the street. All the staff were very nice and very friendly. The breakfast buffet was adequate but nothing special. The main issues for me were the small, slow elevator and the lack of HOT water. We showered in warmish water each morning, but never had really good hot water from the bath shower heads. For the price, Hotel Moderna was a fairly good option for our first visit to Bari.

Friendly, professional staff. Super clean. Comfortable room. Great location for those looking for a a stay near the Bari Centrale station and the city center.

Good stay in a recently refurbished hotel I had a good stay at Hotel Medona in Pula. The hotel has clearly been recently refurbished and is in excellent condition. Everything felt fresh, modern and well maintained, which made for a very pleasant stay. The staff were another highlight. Everyone I encountered was friendly, welcoming and very helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. There were a couple of minor downsides. I found the bed to be quite hard, so unfortunately I didn’t have the best night’s sleep. The breakfast was also fairly basic, although there was enough to start the day and it was perfectly adequate. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and felt the hotel offered a comfortable and pleasant experience. With a slightly softer bed and a little more variety at breakfast, it would be even better.

Close to Central station and main square

Just spent one night here on our way back home out of Bari. Location is on the borderline of being slightly shady but just two blocks up and you are in the main shopping area. Friendly staff, spacious rooms (for Europe!), and a well maintained building. The AC was very efficient unlike other 5 star properties in Italy. I was pleasantly surprised!
