"Hotel Excelsior Bari is in a very good location just across the Bari Centrale Station. Apple and Google maps dont provide the fastest route I initiated had to walk a 15 mins up the stairs , going from front to the back of Bari train station.
The hotel is clean, the room has good sufficient amenities for your needs, there is not view as it surrounded by residential and commercial buildings. The hotel staff has been really professional, friendly and supportive. I went to Matera for an overnight stay, they let me have my luggage kept at their left baggage area. For restaurants and places to visit at Bari, they been helpful too. I had breakfast buffet included with a good spread. The only thing I will feedback is the 2nd night when I return from Bari, the next room was quite noisy, there was a large travel group from Globius , the couple staying next room turn up the Tv volume and they talked very loud so I could not seep till 11 pm. I hope the hotel can do something about sound proof walls across each hotel room. Otherwise this is a great hotel with reasonable price to stay over."
