Hotels near Palazzo Chimienti, Bari

We found this baby accidentally I have to say we found very good. That kind boy who answered us at the phone and then welcomed us at our arrival. Extremely spacious room is very clean. Super breakfast made in the bar under Jerome with cappuccino and scream flirts 😋. Also very comfortable because the conventional parking 2 minutes walk is perfect. It will be our first choice when we come back to Bari. The only advice I give to the property is to have an additional eye on the maintenance and use of things in the room but really simple things. A greeting next time. Joseph from Milan marine

The location is excellent, right next to the train station. It is very convenient to go to other places by train and within walking distance to other attractions. The room is large and clean. The breakfast is very rich and diverse. The service staff is very enthusiastic about arranging day trips. There are many buses on the road next door for traveling to nearby towns.

Booked two deluxe rooms (one for single pax and the other for two pax) but was given two rooms of different sizes instead - not very impressed to say the least! Room decor has seen its better days to be honest! Plastic tables and chairs in the room for a 4-star property are pure cheapskates! Air conditioning still hasn’t been switched back on in late April when temperature already reaching low 20 Celsius! Had to stay and sleep in the room with window shut because of noisy disco noises nearby lasting beyond 2 am in the wee hours of Sunday morning ! Got ‘roasted and baked’ in the room with no ventilation as a result - not very ideal when covid is still raging! Still couldn’t understand why the hotel still insists on ‘no self-service’ for buffet breakfast - apparently in the name of covid! ‘Accidentally’ tried to pick up some breakfast items by myself on arrival as there was no sign on display stating the not-so-obvious ‘no self-service’ policy but was told off by one of 2 staff members on duty with plate being ‘snatched’ from my hands! The paradox being this practice caused long queue with only 2 staff members available to pick and dish out items for guests! Long queue and mass gathering of guests would not spread covid but picking up your own food with disinfected hands would apparently! Few ironic observations made though! The two specific staff members on food picking duty didn’t wear gloves at all when picking food with thongs for guests - is that even covid-safe??? One of the two members on that specific food picking duty went on to pick food for guests after clearing and cleaning up table with bare hands and then went over to do their food picking duty for other guests without washing or disinfecting their hands - covid safe I fear not??? If insisting on ‘no self-service’ policy, make sure you have sufficient staff to handle constant stream of guests coming in for breakfast! I was certainly being put off by either long queue or absent staff to help pick the food I wanted!

Very nice hotel, right by the sea. The room has a small balcony to see the sea blowing, very comfortable. Breakfast is on the sixth floor and it is also an unrivalled sea view. About ten minutes walk around, it is the central location of the local area. There are shopping malls, restaurants and bars, which is very lively. Take a taxi to the train station 8 euros.

Breakfast is excellent and very varied! Cool pool! Almost empty! We checked in early, at 9:30! Thanks a lot!! Although initially, as soon as I approached the reception after arrival, they told me to wait until 12:00. Then they apparently changed their minds. The room has a comfortable mattress! There is a free shuttle. Of the minuses. There were dirty windows almost everywhere (in the room, in the elevator, in the spa area), there was no hair conditioner, there was no reception phone number in the room. I had to go down. I ordered a shuttle to the airport. He left earlier, without me. As a replacement, the reception called a taxi. The car that arrived was a little shocking. Old, dirty, completely destroyed Kia. Thank you for finding a replacement, but it was not very pleasant to see and ride on this transport. The location is not very convenient. Quite far from the center, from the train station. Overall, though, I was satisfied! I think I'll be back!

The rooms are very modern and very clean, the breakfast is good, the hotel is well located next to a beach and there are plenty of buses that go to the city. The hotel shuttle to the old town is free, it's great. We really liked the pool, the sweet potato fries and the stews to enjoy by the pool. The staff is perfect, and special mention for Vito, the pool boy who is extremely nice and very helpful

This is a clean, modern, welcoming, well equipped hotel with good sized rooms for a very reasonable price. The included breakfast is good with quite a lot of options. The free tea and coffee station and the reasonably priced honour system snack bar were both appreciated by us. We did not get a good night’s sleep unfortunately. We were on a non smoking floor but had horrible strong cigarette smells pumping into our room out of our air con. It’s 2023 - just make the whole hotel non-smoking as it does not work floor by floor. There was awful Muzak music (like piper music in a supermarket) coming from somewhere for most of the night, This is not the best place to stay to visit Bari as a tourist. It is in the somewhat bleak new residential area. It is a very long walk along uninteresting roads to get to the beautiful old town or you can spring for a taxi. There is not much at all in the nearest vicinity apart from ugly modern high rise buildings and scrubby lots and construction sites, although we found a local pub Malto’s 2 streets away which was pretty good. It is very close to the autostrada and just 15 minutes drive to the airport. The latter was the appeal for us for 1 night only for an early morning flight but earlier in our Puglia travels we stayed in the old town and if you are a tourist, you will have a much better experience if you do so. The hotel seemed full of tradespeople and other workers so this might be its niche market rather than tourists.

The hotel is very beautiful, the rooms also, the garden and the swimming pool, But the images on the internet ”forgets” the industrial environment, the 4-way road out of the site. The hotel is 5 km from Bari and more than 3 of the first restaurants; they make a unique, unoptional, take a giant menu ... the most horrible lasagne eaten- has wanted to change a nice ice for fruit (which they serve at breakfast ) impossible; choice of idem wine 1 white 1 red and 2 roses on the map; The worst: breakfast buffet for sugar, bar code to order: butter, bread tranches, fruit juice and salt; While staff in the room is not possible with this system have 2 shells of my breads Without the addition of either smelled cheese, or jambon, or jambon with smelled cheese...
