The Nicolaus Hotel

We had a good time at the hotel. The only problem was the lack of air conditioning and that the rooms didn’t have enough lighting. It seems that in Italy they don’t offer air conditioning at certain time of the year. Thank God, one of the workers at our floor got us a fan. Also Mariangeles, who was cleaning the garage, was wonderful giving us great advice for the hotel and the area.

We stayed just one night. Location-wise, it wasn’t great since it’s quite far from the old city — a taxi ride cost around €25–30, which was a bummer. If your main plan is to visit the old city, this may not be the best choice.

The hotel itself is modern, beautiful, and very clean. It has parking and elevators, which is convenient. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to use the spa or explore the whole property.

Breakfast was excellent with a large spread. Our room was okay, but the bathroom was extremely small — honestly, I don’t know how an overweight person would comfortably use the toilet. That was very disappointing.

One last question for management: do you assign these rooms to guests who book through discount sites like Expedia or booking ?
Also I have one star for location cause for me it was too far from old city

 Lovely hotel with a nice spa  15 minutes from the airport ideal location for Bari old town

Lovely hotel, large, beautiful, and especially clean room. Breakfast was also excellent!

The room is spacious and clean. The bed is comfortable and the staff is very friendly.

Very clean and comfortable rooms. The entire family enjoyed the stay. Loved the spa area and the staff was amazing. Great parking and nice nearby restaurants. A bit far from the center but the hotel provided a very efficient shuttle service, on time and super friendly. We met Mariangela, who was extremely helpful and sweet, giving us recommendations and excellent service. Thank you!

Excellent value for money.
The breakfast buffet was generous, with a wide variety of options. The room was spacious, as was the spa, which had drinks and amenities available. Reception staff were very warm and welcoming!

The only downsides: the restaurant and bar server lacked training and professionalism, although he was very kind (which is appreciated). The location isn’t ideal, with few restaurants nearby. The parking is convenient and pleasant, but can be a bit tight for larger vehicles.

Still, it’s a great hotel overall — I definitely recommend it.

Excellent hotel in the central area of ​​Bari. Paid parking available in the hotel
