Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B Il Sorriso, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd or 4th) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may experience more traffic noise from Viale della Repubblica, a busy road in Bari. Also, consider rooms on the rear side of the hotel for reduced noise from the road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they are adjacent to the street and may be noisier. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience noise from frequent use.
Best views
Given the hotel's address on Viale della Repubblica, rooms on the higher floors (3rd or 4th) may offer views of the city, although the view may not be directly onto the sea due to the hotel's inland location.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-4 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and higher elevation.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on a busy road means that some street noise may be present, especially on lower floors. However, the hotel's concrete floors on higher floors may help to reduce noise from below.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, note that the hotel does not have a dedicated parking lot, so you may need to park on the street. Be prepared to pay for street parking or seek out alternative parking options. 2. Check-in is available from 2 pm, and the hotel has a 24-hour reception. If you arrive early, you may want to explore Bari's historic center or grab a coffee at one of the nearby cafes.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Not expected; round up the bill in restaurants for good service, and leave a euro or two for hotel staff or taxi drivers if you wish.

A main course in a modest osteria or pizzeria is roughly €8–12; a pizza margherita averages €6–8.
Look for street food around the old city (Bari Vecchia) near the seafront and Piazza Mercantile, where you’ll find focaccia barese, panzerotti, and fried fish stalls.
Common budget supermarkets are Lidl, Eurospin, and Conad; also look for local mercati (like Mercato di Santa Scolastica) for fresh produce.
For affordable clothing, head to the Corso Cavour or the shops along Via Sparano; there’s a market near Piazza della Vittoria on weekends.

Eat at lunchtime to take advantage of menù di lavoro (working lunch deals); buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than cafés; visit the free attractions like the Basilica di San Nicola and the seafront promenade.
