Room 56

Staying at Room 56 in Bari was one of the best things we did in this wonderful city. We booked a mini apar**ent which was spacious, clean and had all the amenities one could ever need. The breakfast was continental; everything was fresh and enough to give one a good start for the day. Room cleaning and replacing of towels was on a daily basis. Michele, Vincenzo and Geraldine who manage Room 56 were all very helpful and welcoming. Giusi, who prepared the breakfast and did the housekeeping services was amazing .... a very sweet, helpful, warm person who is a huge credit for the establishment. The building is situated exactly in the middle of central Bari mid-way between Bari Vecchia (the old town) and the modern part of the city which includes the main shopping street. We will definitely stay in Room 56 the next time we visit Bari. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant one. JESMOND ALFINO - Malta

A wonderful guesthouse in the centre of Bari. The building itself is quite old and the lift seems ancient but once you get out of the lift and into the welcoming residence, you can see how much care and work has gone into making sure Room 56 is a place worthy of your accommodation needs. It's a quiet retreat and has a common area and a kitchen. The kitchen provides free bottles of cold water and crisp bottles of wine that cost 10 euros per bottle. You can help yourself and pay the kitchen host at breakfast the next day for the wine. The breakfast is very simple and comprises mainly of some cold meats, bread and yoghurt with coffee or tea. The room was bright and modern and quite high up! I enjoyed the bustling street view and drinking one too many bottles of white wine on my private balcony whilst listening to music in the late afternoons! The only problem is that the walls are very thin in this hotel, so if you're expecting to make some noise with your friends then this place is not for you. In general, the clientele here is respectful of one another and thus patrons won't be coming in late making noise or blaring loud music. Federica was a super helpful host, she met me outside and checked me in promptly. She's also very friendly and helped me book a taxi to the airport upon checking out. Thanks for a pleasant stay and nice round off to my Euro trip!

really nice and quiet place. very authentic experience, as the hotel is on the 5th floor among residential areas. Was welcomed by the nicest lady who spoke very little English but communicated with a translation app. It is very intimate and quiet and the rooms are in very good condition. Clear recommendation, and very good distance to both the new and old town of Bari. We felt very welcome and would definitely choose the same hotel again

Room 56 is in the best location of Bari. It is next to the main pedesterian area which is the shopping and dining section of the city. Room 56 is about 8-10 min. walking distance to the Bari Central Train Station. Although it is in the center, it is not noisy at all. We stayed in the room No 1. The room was clean and spacious, bed was comfortable. There was a sink ,an owen, mini bar, TV and a small balcony. Shower was a little too small and bidet was not adjacent to WC, but it was next to the shower. There wasn't any problem with heating, hot water and Wifi. The room was cleaned daily. Breakfast was moderate but sufficient for us. Michele who was in charge during our stay was very friendly and helpful. We didn't have any difficulty while checking in and checking out. I recommend Room 56 for people who seek a central and comfortable room.

I meant to leave a review at the time of my stay, but forgot. However I really need to as this is a wonderful hotel with a few quirks for guests to be aware of. First off, the location is simply fantastic. Go to Sephora on the corner, turn left and there is a clear walk to the train station. Go to the white building at the bottom of the street, turn left and there is a clear walk to the Old Town. Turn right and walk down the side of Teatro Petruzzelli to find the Lungomare and enjoy a walk along the sea. For the location alone, I'd return to Room 56 every time. Additionally, on my previous trip to Bari, food was an issue and Room 56 ensured the problem wasn't repeated. Not only are restaurants very close by, but the breakfast is very good and unusually varied for a hotel, so long as you like continental. There was also a fruit stall next store which I cleared of strawberries every day. The room is of a good size, clean and has a nice view over the street. At the time of my stay, it wasn't too warm so I can't speak for the air conditioning, but I found it comfortable. The staff are very helpful. Be aware that this is not a traditional hotel, but an apar**ent in which you book a bedroom. It was a bit of a surprise to me when I arrived, but didn't affect my stay as my fellow guests were all quiet. The rooms are also soundproofed, though the hallway is not, so you will probably not miss breakfast as the sound of thundering footsteps past your door will rouse you. The main issue I had was with the front door of the apar**ent, as the lock doesn't open unless you turn the key so much that it feels like it might break. Unless this has been fixed in the past year, I'd advise ensuring the staff member who meets you shows you how to open the door before leaving, or else you'll be forced to be like me and call someone out of their bed at 1am to get into yours. You also can't get into the building until the staff member meets you, but this shouldn't be a problem unless your plane is very early or late. Of greater significance is when you depart. You will be relieved of your key in the morning and, if you have a later flight and choose to leave your suitcase in the hotel to collect on your way to the airport, provide a meeting time that is earlier than you actually intend to arrive. My staff member was fifteen minutes late and it was a bit panic inducing to be locked away from my suitcase when I had a train to catch. This review may focus too much on improvements, but I really enjoyed my stay in Room 56 and would consider it again if I return to Bari. My suggestions are merely small things that I wish I'd known and don't impact how good the hotel is overall. If you want to see Bari with ease and be assured of a full stomach whilst doing so, Room 56 Le Dimore is an excellent choice.

5/5 for pretty much everything - room quality, positioning, hospitality, etc. What to improve: feels almost like a crime to not having some focaccia Barese on breakfast when staying in Bari add some kitchen hardware to make it easier to cook (ex: could use a kitchen knife 🔪)

We were welcomed by our host, Antonio, who was very helpful. We arrived very late at night and Antonio waited up for us to arrive. The room was very comfortable with very good facilities, very clean. The location is amazing very close to the old city and the main street and railway station, we did not need public transport at all. The rooms are sound-proofed, and we did not hear the traffic at all. However, the breakfast is very basic, but there is bread, croissant, cheese, ham and coffee. There is 24-hour free coffee and biscuits and fridge in a separate room. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Bari.

Fabulous stay, Room 56 really exceeded our expectations. Our room was comfy and very clean, the location is excellent. All the amenities you need, some examples: you can use the fridge located in the dining/kitchenette area, additional pillow available in the room, fluffy good quality towels etc. The staff Was wonderful and very helpful! Breakfasts are good, a bit basic (standard in Italy's B&B's) but you still get everything you need to start your day (fruit, sweets, tosts, ham, cheese, coffee, juice, yogurt etc.), everything was fresh and tasty. If ever again in Bari, we will look no more, only book our stay again with Room56! Highly recommended! If anything - we did experience just a bit of week noise insulation... walls and room door... We were lucky enough for our neighbours to be quiet like ourselfs, but I think I would have been a much bigger issue if our neighbors were noisy, like I've seen in some other reviews.

Excellent bed and breakfast, très bien situé entre le centre historique et les avenues commerçantes. Petit déjeuner compris que l'on peut prendre sur un balcon. Accueil très agréable et très bons conseils pour le choix de restaurants. Chambre très propre.
