In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Street noise can disturb sleep — One reviewer was woken by street noise, and another mentions staff entering the room, which suggests the old-town property may lack soundproofing and privacy.
- No dedicated parking — The hotel does not list parking, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange their own parking in Bari's old town, which can be challenging.
- Check-in ends at 23:00 — The official check-in window is 13:00-23:00. While self check-in helps with late arrivals, you still need to arrive before 11 pm unless otherwise arranged.
