TOURS FROM TRUSTED PARTNERS

Bari is a business town, and the hotel scene is pretty depressing. Stick to the choices below, since most other budget inns are dives.

One address; three hotels
Besides the hotels detailed in full here, another good bet is Via Crisanzio 12, where three uninspiring but serviceable hotels together offer 56 inexpensive rooms that all ring in well under €100:

• Hotel Giulia has the firmest beds and lowest rates (tel. +39-080-521-6630, www.hotelpensionegiulia.it).

• Hotel Romeo has slightly bigger, slightly pricier rooms; no credit cards (tel. +39-080-523-7253, www.hotelpensioneromeo.com).

• Hotel Costa has more modern doubles that cost a wee bit more (www.hotelcostabari.com, tel. +39-080-521-9015) Hotel Moderno [€€–€€€] - This is more of a residence than a hotel—they clean the place twice a week rather than daily (plus, of course, before a new customer moves in)—and while nothing about it really merits a star rating, I can dub it the best value in Bari. Accommodations are all mini-apartments featuring modernissimo baths and kitchenettes; even the singles are spacious. The furniture is all standardized, and beds predictably saggy, so don't expect the Ritz. However, the prices are excellent for such comfort, and it's in a safe area convenient for day-tripping (the train station is just around the corner). Lower prices apply Friday to Sunday.

Hotel Boston [€€] - You pay for the level of comfort at this businessperson's hotel, but you're safely within the New City yet just a few short blocks from the castello and historic district. The well-built modular furnishings have suede accents, but the carpets are beginning to stain and scuff in places. Most rooms are cut to a modest size, and while windows are fairly soundproof, request a room on the back cortile to escape the bus and traffic noise. There are lower rates weekends and in August.

Hotel Bristol [€€] - In a pleasant older building that must have been stylish in its day, the Bristol offers clean, basic accommodations with rather unattractive furnishings, but there's elbow room to spare under the vaulted ceilings. The baths are in good shape, but the beds are hard (not firm; hard, as in a lumpy mattress on an unforgiving wooden plank). I include the Bristol mainly for those who are looking for the amenities, but not the prices, of the Boston (above).

Tips

If you're having trouble lining up a room, stop by the folks at Stop Over in Bari (under "Visitor Information") or the train station tourist office.
