Host Bari centrale - Hostel

Showers with no doors or curtains lol, it was really hot in the living room and then quite cold from the ac in the sleeping rooms

there was no air in the common areas or the room, it was very hot

Did not feel super clean

Close to the station There was nobody there and I had to check in by myself. They didn’t tell me it was like that beforehand. Also, 2 out of 3 toilets were broken, and there were no lockers in the dorm.

Location is pretty good with an easy access to the supermarket and to the building itself (by the entrance door code). How to describe and with what to start))) 1. No room lights. Consider it if you need to wake up with some sun or just to arrange your bag at night. You’ll need to use your bed light. And if you loose smth, that’s it, not enough light to find out. 2. Bathroom downstairs. You’ll need to go down if you need a toilet or to take shower. Shower doesn’t have soap or full cabin door (either 0 privacy or take a swimsuit with you). 3. Administrator is there only for 5hours. If you have questions, wait. I didn’t get a response on a situation with a man who supposed to stay at the same bed number as me. I came and saw the bed with a light and opened curtain ?? he didn’t wanna bother me and moved to another free bed. It says it has stickers and things to sign your food but no. 4. It seems like cleaning stuff took a towel hostel gave. I didn’t use it when I checked in and put near my bathroom things. Came from the city and no towel ???. First time for all 10+ years travelling. 5. Kitchen. No idea what happened but somebody stole my food ?? supposed to be some drunk guy, cause taking open tortellini under the plate which is not yours, is a masterpiece.

I'm sorry, but I found it difficult to choose and find the bed I was looking for, in four 6 nights I went to bed twice after I found it busy... Today, when I have to leave the Hostel, I paid to keep my luggage in storage while I left in the afternoon.... I'm sorry if it hasn't happened to me in the past 3 years that I've been attending Hostels in Europe.

The 8 bed female dorm is far too cramped, no air. There are no shower curtains. The bathrooms are separated by gender but still, not everyone feels comfortable to shower without privacy. There is no staff onsite and it doesn’t feel so secure, no locks on the room doors.

very professional,great location,easy check in procedure

It’s close to the station, but I’m sure there are others that are close and are way better The whole place was ridiculous. There is no staff so you have to get into the place with some code they supposedly provide you after you complete the online check in process. We did that, and the code for the door didn’t work, so we were locked out at night with no one to contact. No one responded on the chat, or WhatsApp. Someone was luckily going in so we could go into the place. Then, the way the beds are assigned are super confusing, and since there is no staff people just go into random beds. You might come back to a random person on your bed. And then on top of that, the room is insanely crowded because of the way it’s set up. There are under-bed ‘cages’ to lock up your belongings but only one can be pulled out at a time, so if you and someone else are trying to get ready at the same time, good luck. Oh and the bedroom has not light, it only relies on sunlight to light it up which is fine during the day but as soon as it gets dark u gotta pull up your flashlight. Finally, the bathroom setup for the women also sucks because it’s downstairs super far from the rooms. Just an awful place, go ANYWHERE else.

The location was great. The bed was very comfortable. The rooms did not lock. There was no storage lockers for your luggage and even if you wanted to buy a lock from the staff there was no one there to purchase it from.

The kitchen is modern, but it does not have all utensils, for example, no cork opener. Guests are nice, and there are opportunities to interact. There is no need for a key: the code works fine. The showers are numerous but do not have shelves and no soap. The rooms are tiny, and it depends on your roommates if you have a good sleep. Plus, it is rather stuffy. The luggage can not be left behind after checkout.

What did you like? - Nothing particularly stood out to me in a good way. It was an overall “meh”, good enough. Certainly better than others, but the mark of around 7 it had at that time seems fair in my reference system. The bed pods were decent, the common space was decent, the bathrooms were decent ... - I would stay there again, but I would probably first search for a more rich accommodation experience. - The location is good for someone who moves around a lot, right near the train station, and at the beginning of the main pedestrian street of the city (connecting the train station to the old city). - The staff was really helpful and nice (Thanks for that guys! :) ), but all the communication was done remotely, I haven't seen a singe staff member. What didn't you like? - There is no reception (this is a big bummer for me as I love to interact with the staff). - There is no way to lock the room, there is only one lock on the building access door (the doors to the room looked seriously sloppy). - Probably due to the guest types and numbers this place caters to, unlike most of the other places I've been to (marked 7-8), as mentioned in other reviews, the toilets do tend to get dirty quite a lot and quite early. When I arrived in the evening 50% of the toilets were dirty, when I left at 6am, ~25% of the toilets were dirty (dirtied by the people who left early that morning) – dirty = toilet paper in multiple places on the floor, not flushed sufficiently (the bowl still quite full), nothing worse. - Overall, there is a slight feel of a neglected run-down building + spaces. - The rest are details.

The location is excellent, it was clean and comfortable! There is no light in the room, only the ones attached to each bed. There's no reception.

Clean, good location, next to train station and supermarket. Nice lounge area, big kitchen. This hostel has a lot of potential, unfortunately it lacks in some of the most basic amenities a hostel should have. As a budget traveler that stays in hostels often, I cook most of my meals to save money, however this kitchen lacks the most basic kitchen amenities, if you're looking to cook here bring your own kitchen gear or book elsewhere. 1. No microwave, 2. No coffee maker, 3. No kettle to heat up water for tea or coffee, 4. no kitchen knives to cut vegetables or meat (only butter knives) 5. No cutting board, 6. No oven, toaster or air fryer, 7. No skillets only deep pots, 8. No can opener, 9. No wine opener. Also the bathrooms are located downstairs so if you're a light sleeper like me and need to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, by the time you get back to bed upstairs you'll be wide awake. Also the check in process is remote and can be confusing I was given two different entry codes and none of them worked. Thankfully someone let me in and I was able to sort it out with management remotely afterwards. I do have to say, the cleaning ladies do an excellent job, they even changed my linens and towel after 3 days without me asking.

I liked that it’s really close to the station, that it’s clean and it has a great vibe down in the kitchen and also in the girls bathroom. I liked the curtains over the beds! I didn’t liked that the room was so tiny, we could barely move when someone was on the “field” not inside the bed.. it’s a little dark. Also, first I was going to the other building at night 22:00 because I didn’t knew you have separate buildings, maybe it’s my fault but it wasn’t that comfortable to walk another 20 minutes when I just arrived.. :)

It's only 5-7 minutes from the train and long distance bus stations. The owners don't seem to care about their business. There is no reception, and all of the guests I spoke to, like me, did not receive the necessary code to enter the property and did not know which bed was theirs. Also, the wifi does not work so well, and they force you to input lots of personal information in order to use the wifi at all!

Beds were comfortable and all had privacy curtains. Large common area to hang out or cook, and very close to the main train station, with a Lidl a couple doors down. Self check in with a code for entry was pretty easy. There is no staff there, so if there are any issues there’s nobody to talk to ( but I didn’t have any problems) and also nobody to ask about advice for the area, which I usually do in a hostel. The cleaning people show up at the room right at nine and start whisking away sheets.

Excellent Excellent

Nothing to report

Room with 6 beds are ok Beds are not stable, making noise and shaking. Doors can't be properly opened or closed. No WhatsApp contact with the staff, they are working from 10AM untill the evening, untill 1PM on Sundays. Not for older travelers, very difficult to climb the ladder. Kitchen and bathroom are on the lower floor, inconvenient, utilities not practical, but relatively clean. Would not recommend female dorm for 8 person. Hostel is very cheap and on good location but not good for staying longer than one night. I have no info about men's facilities.
