Look, you kind of get what you pay for here! On the plus side, the location is great, a super easy walk from the hotel both to the central train station (where the airport is an easy train away) and the old town. There's a nice view of Bari to enjoy in the mornings and we saw some cute cats playing below. For a cheap room, things are as you would expect: the mattress is not of high quality, the check in process is a bit confusing (although ultimately we figured it out), there are not many amenities. We were annoyed though by 1) a complete lack of blankets, only a thin sheet during winter where we needed some warmth, and 2) an extremely irritating on-and-off buzzing noise throughout the night that seemed to be related to some pipes or maybe a heating system.... in any case we couldn't work out how to turn it off and it definitely kept us up. The bathroom was technically clean, but also had a weird smell, and there was no drinking water that wasn't from the bathroom tap which was unpleasant, we ended up buying water from the vending machine across the street. In terms of convenience, the place is definitely very useful and I understand that it's a bit of a "get what you pay for" situation, but a few small efforts from the host to make the room warm and quiet would have been appreciated.
