Reviews of Mandarin Apulia 19 B&B

The room is comfortable

Check-in was very complicated. If you arrive later than 11pm, they will charge you 10€ per hour. We waited so long for the lady to come check us in and the address on the Google map is different from the actual location. In general it was too complicated to get in the room.

Close to the train station.

AVOID. The owner or whoever welcomes new guests either is dumb or he knows nothing about the apartment he rents. The doors are made out of paper so you can hear literally everything that is happening in the hall, so at 12 at night the owner welcomed a new guest without even lowering his voice volume and obviously woke us up, especially when our flight was super early it totally destroyed out rest. Not even talking about cleanliness which is not existing here.

Location was very good,very close to train station Bari Centrale and very close to Old town.The apartment was very clean and owner and staff very polite and helpful.

Everything

Nothing

I like that it is near the station and the town proper

that there's no reception

The location is perfect, 3 min to the station. Near the main pedestrian boulevard and cafe.

The terase are less space and all the rooms has the same terasse. Shared one. No enough space for table and chair and to relax and smoke. A lot gadgets in it, utensils from the hotel(aircondion boxes,giant heater). No spare place for the tourist even to share it by themselves.

I liked that it included towels,toothbrush,and bathroom shoes in the room. It also had a locker and key for you to store private things like wallet,important documents,and other small valuables.

I didn’t like how hard it was to open the door to the room due to the nature of the lock being on the bottom and having to fiddle around to find the way to get the key fully in. Also the booking app did not give me the right location. I had to text them and ask for the right address which was thankfully only around a block from the place the app gave me directions to.

Clean

So confuse to find it, many stairs. Elevator super small and old. They did charge a small doble room as triple room!! So disappointed about it.

We had a terrible experience - locked out of the hotel at midnight as the door had been locked from the inside. ( no sign indicating not to to this for guests) There was nobody to call, the numbers provided were off. We were stuck outside with nowhere to go for 3 hours until around 3 am. (dangerous) Eventually out of desperation we banged on the front door until a guest woke up and let us in. The property said they would refund us but ignored us and we were not compensated.

Excellent location (near train station). The bathroom is fully equipped.

Beds are too soft, the sofa is really small. It's small room for 3 people, but if you get along is ok. 😉

We found this property in last minute. Staff was so friendly, super clean, we loved it

It was difficult to check in to the building since they manage multiple properties. I followed the directions by sending a WhatsApp 3 hours before arrival, then again 30 min before and 10 min before, but no one responded. When I arrived I had to call different numbers posted outside to request someone to let me in- and the lady on the phone admonished me for sending messages, saying she had too many to read. I was forced to wait in the rain with other people attempting to check in with the same problem until someone arrived.

It was very close to the center and very accesibile

In the bathroom you couldn’t stay with lights on because it was a horrible sound from the fan

If I had to sum up my experience at this hotel, it was, unfortunately, very disappointing. From the moment we entered the room, we were greeted with an unpleasant smell, which seemed to come from dampness or a lack of proper cleaning. Additionally, the sink was clogged and visibly dirty, which caused a lot of inconvenience during our stay. Moreover, the bed was not properly prepared; the duvet was not placed inside a cover but simply laid on top of it, giving a sense of poor hygiene. The sheets were stained and clearly unpressed, which showed a lack of attention to basic cleanliness and comfort. Overall, this left a very bad impression, and I definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for clean and well-maintained accommodation.
