The hotel is in a great location, just a 3 minute walk from the Bari train station and 10 minute walk from the historic Bari village - which apparenly used to be dangerous place to go, but it has improved now with many polizia stations in the village. Shopping streets are just around the corner.

The hotel was very clean and very modern. I was very impressed with the hotel.
Wi-fi was available for free. you have to ask for username and password from the reception. It was slow, but it works, and it was free.

I only had a breakfast, again typical Italian small breakfast with ham, cheese, croisant, fruit and cake - It seems like I was the only person there. I saw no one else in the hotel.

The manager, she end up charging me the correct price 95 euros, instead of 145 euros from the internet booking. She's an honest Italian - very rare in Italy.

I highly recommend this hotel.

Reminder, you'll need your pin number for your credit card in most transactions when travelling in Italy. I had to pay this in cash since I forgot my pin number.

Bari: Hotel Leon D'Oro
Date: 01.05.2007.
Review: We have just returned from Bari from Hotel Leon D'Oro. The first impression was good, the size of the room and sort of modern furtniture was also good but we could not belive the dust all over the place. The floar was filthy!!!
Overall I would just like to say that somebody needs to clean the whole place and let the fresh air in!
