Reviews of PRINCIPE 152

We spent a week at Principe 152 and we really enjoyed our time! The flat is situated in a block of flats, on the 7th floor, but there is a lift, so no issues if you have heavy bags or mobility problems. There are three separate rooms in the flat, and we stayed in one of them. We shared the hallway with the others, but we didn't really see them. In the hallway there is a Nespresso coffee machine, a kettle, coffee pods, sugar, tea, small cups and stirrers, so we had a lovely coffee every morning. The rooms itself was really nice, with new furniture, air conditioning (which you need in the summer when we were there), a fridge (also super useful), and TV. The bathroom was spacious, and there was plenty of storage space in the room itself. The room functions in a semi-hotel system, so someone comes to bring you new towels, toilet paper, and even make your bed every 1-2 days. We didn't expect it, but it was a welcome surprise. The flat has an excellent location - between the main train station in Bari and the old town. You can visit the main attractions in Bari (old town, Teatro Petruzzelli, main shopping streets, even the art museum) on foot; if you want to visit Puglia more widely (Alberobello, Matera, Lecce, Monopoli etc.) the train station is very close (10min walk). If you want to go to the beach, the bus stop for the public beach is close by. We also felt that the area was safe; we were out at night and we didn't feel unsafe in any way. The bus that goes to the airport (no. 16) is also very close to the flat (2-3min to get to the stop). There are plenty of bars, cafés, restaurants, shops and even a supermarket close to the flat. The bar near the flat is where you can have a lovely breakfast, included in the price of the room - the breakfast is really nice and all the staff at the bar are lovely. This is also where we went to check-in and out. We were even able to check-in early, which was much appreciated. All in all we had a lovely stay!

Everything is there

It smelled gross. No option for late checkout. Looked nice on pictures. But actually ugly design. Loud city noises. No good insulation

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious.

The sofa sleeper was a little uncomfortable.

Great location, nice staff, good breakfast and coffee

Not quite clean, I am not sure if the bed line was changed

Location is good. Although if you have a car parking is slightly a problem. If you dont have a car then location is perfect. They changed towels daily. Its clean.

I think we needed a bin as we didnt have one to throw rubbish in except the toilet one which is very small. The room doesnt have a lamp shade. The bathroom had 2 shower gel packets and lots of soaps. I think it would have been better if they included a bigger body shower gel rather than small soap. Breakfast was very basic. Jist coffee/drink and a croissant.

The location was ok.

The hosts didn’t speak English so we needed to Google translate each sentence and show it to the other person. The deuce cabin was very dirty and the water pipes were making strange noises all the time. The sauna in the room was broken and they didn’t want to reinsure us for that because they didn’t fix it for the 3 day stay. We rented this room particularly because all of us were with stiff backs and wanted to use the sauna in the evenings! There were no slippers, soap, towels, sheets, pillow cases for two of our members. It was like they were not ready at all to greet us and we arrived in 16:00 in the afternoon they had plenty of time to prepare. Finally the room was super cold and the AC was super small it took us 1 day to pre heat the room.

Location, staff, people around the building, comfortable bed

The bathroom was making noise, the shower didn’t drain, and the communication/ organization was not clear.

Noise in the toilet when water leaks

The location is really good

The room is really simple

The room was very comfortable, the people nice and the location was perfect

Everything was great.

The breakfast ist good but it is not enough. They could make some toast or something like this.

Great location: right next to the university and close to Bari Vecchia. Clean and friendly staff.

The toilet made some strange noises now and then…but nothing major.

Extremely clean and tidy. Easy check in process and private breakfast area in room offered a good variety of food that was well organized.

It is between the train station and the Old Town and walking distance to both. So the location is very good. You go to the room through a corridor with a coffee machine and there are three rooms in the same corridor. The room was clean. Since we stayed for one night, we didn't mind that there was no shampoo etc.

When I sent a message asking if I could check in before the normal time, there was no reply. Then the check-in information was also sent in Italian. So there was a lack of communication. Other than that everything was fine.

Location excellent. Friendly accommodating staff

Noise of using water …tab, shower, toilet … (old water pipes)

The instructions to get to the apartment were very well done and it was easy to get in. The location is very good, the room was clean and organized. Good connection with the wifi and the tv.

The room had very thin walls, so I could hear people in the next room all the time. The noise was disturbing to my sleep. During the night the building's plumbing also made a lot of noise and apparently, there was a problem, because in the morning there seemed to be water backing up in the shower drain.
