Reviews of Mandarin Apulia B&B

This is my second time here. The location is excellent close to train station shops, restaurants and walking distance to Bari vecchio.

The cleaner was incompetent. The floor had not been swept or washed. There were fingernails on the floor from the previous guest. Although covid is somewhat over, rules and santination apply at all times. The morning of check-out, which is at 10 am, I went to have coffee at 8 am, got back at 9am the cleaner was there my bedroom door was wide open and also the door to the verandah!! Anyone could have walked in. I still had to pack I had personal items in the room. She should not have gone in there until after I checked out! Very disappointing.

The only thing positive about this stay was the location.

Small rooms, dirty, outdated, bleached towels, room was untidy, noisy, no normal toilet seat(very uncomfortable), shower leaked in the entire bathroom, no where to hang small towels, hairdryer on the floor.

We spent the night before departure, its very small, but comfortable accommodation.

People of large size could have a problem using shower, toilet.

Location was perfect, close to the train station and Via Sparano.

Washroom was practical but cramped.

Beautiful room near stores, train and bus station, ten minutes walking from old city. Clean and provides you everything you need inside. Kind and friendly staff

Nice accommodation in the heart of Bari. Handy to Train Station. Staff were lovely.

I always want a bigger room and this one was no exception. It was fine for the one night needed to be close to the Train Station that was our need.

Comfortable

Limited storage in the room

The location was convenient, close to the station and a 15 min walk to the old town. The park closeby might feel a bit unsafe because of the locals hanging out there.

- It was not very clean, especially the sink. - We had a balcony but there was a lot of stuff there as well (messy). - We did not feel very welcome. No water in the fridge or info about Bari. - It was difficult to contact the hosts. No reaction on WhatsApp, while they asked us to contact them through WhatsApp. Even though we called 15 min advance, we still had to call again when we were at the apartment and then had to wait 10 minutes. - Our room was okay, but there were problems with the water in other rooms. Other guests had their belongings ruined and staff apparently just went into their rooms and did not contact them. I think that it was not handled professionally by the staff.

A group of 6. 2 rooms. Everything was fine. Central location.

Close to the city center and everything, Cuban employee was annyoyed but very kind at checkin, keep her. :) Room is clean and nice.

The room was very cold after checkin. The heating was weak at the whole time, we cold. The room is very small, bathroom is small as well and the water floads everywhere after during shower. Bad noise isolation, we hear everything from the neighbors.

The property is very close to the central train station( from where you can go to Matera, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare ) a maximum of 10 minutes walk from the old center

The property was one or 2 apartments that were modified and divided into rooms like a hotel, if the other guests make noise, you can hear it in the room.

Compact but cosy and at a very good location.

They left a lovely gift to all of us- the souvenir was a lovely surprise. Location is 10 points!

The location is in the middle of the city center.

1. Dirty Towels – See the attached photos for proof. 2. Misleading Parking Information – If you need parking, this is not the place for you. The booking site mentions parking, but it's not included. There’s an extra fee, and it’s charged per night, not for 24 hours. We ended up paying €20 just to park from 5 PM to 10 AM. 3. Filthy Walls – The walls were completely dirty. Again, see the photos. 4. Terrible Noise Insulation – You can hear everything from the neighboring rooms and corridors, including conversations and, unfortunately, people having sex. I had a horrible night because the room next to us was shouting and moaning non-stop. 5. No Windows – The room had no windows, which made it feel suffocating and claustrophobic. 6. Broken Bathroom Door Handle – My boyfriend got stuck in the bathroom because the door handle was broken. 7. Tiny Shower – The shower is extremely small; you can’t even stretch your arms. On top of that, the floor floods every time you use it. It’s awful!

The cleaning crew. The rooms wasn’t cleaned as we expected.
