Zodiacus Residence Apart-hotel

Pros: A well-located hotel just outside of the historic center of Bari, yet easily reachable on foot for like 10 minutes. Also close to the central station.

Cons: they don’t have 24h reception so if you plan to come later, you might have a problem (reception is from 08:30-21:00). They didn’t have a coffee machine in the room and most italian hotels I’ve stayed in that are similar price category have at least a capsule option. So a huge con for me personally.
There are two buildings, so you might not stay at the main one.
The bathroom is dated, yet clean, but there was only like half a roll of toilet paper so some might argue it’s absolutely not enough. A second one was not provided in the bathroom in case you need it. I can’t imagine people nowadays would take a roll with them to go so another one in the room would have been great.
Biggest con: the single room is otherwise nicely decorated (even a beautiful painting above the bed) but there is just a tiny window and the room is therefore very dark. There weren’t enough light sources (the plug of the standing lamp wouldn’t plug in). The window overlooks a narrow internal cloister and it’s very loud cause there is a ventilation line running right next to the window.

Summary: because of all the cons I really don’t see any logic of booking a stay here, for the same price I’ve booked much nicer places in the historic center. Cannot speak of the bigger rooms, though, they probably have bigger windows.
