Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hi Hotel Bari, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request a room on the higher floors (above the 5th floor), as the lower floors might be more prone to street noise from Via Nazario Sauro, a major road in Bari. Floors 6 and above should be relatively quieter, given that the hotel's address is near the city center.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (elevators), as the noise from the lift machinery might be noticeable, especially in a 4-star hotel. Rooms near the service entrance or the bar on the lower floors might also be noisier due to foot traffic.
Best views
Given the hotel's address on Via Nazario Sauro, rooms on the higher floors (above the 5th floor) will have a better view of the city, including the sea and the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 6 to 8 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's address and the fact that these floors are away from the lower floors and the potential street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Via Nazario Sauro might be a concern, but the hotel's location is relatively central, making it easy to access local amenities and attractions.
Insider tips
Be sure to request a room with a view to make the most of your stay, especially if you're visiting during peak season. If you're driving, consider parking at the nearby Piazza Mercantile, which is a short walk from the hotel and offers a more affordable parking option compared to the hotel's parking.
- 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

Find train tickets →Bari Centrale station → Bed & Breakfast La Casa Particular (via Nicolò Putignani stop of via Piccinni)
💡 Use this for the last leg if you're loaded with bags. Get a 90-minute ticket (€1) or a day pass (€3.50) from the tabacchi at the station. Validate it in the bus machine – fines are steep.
Bari Centrale bus stop (Piazza Aldo Moro) → Best Western Executive Business Hotel (Via Zara / Via Capruzzi stop)
💡 Validate your ticket in the machine on board. This bus runs along Via Capruzzi and drops you a 2-minute walk from the hotel door. Buy a pack of 10 tickets at a tabacchi to save time.
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) → Bed & Breakfast La Casa Particular (via Nicolò Putignani)
💡 Agree on price before getting in or use the official white taxis with a meter. From the airport, expect around €20-25 to the city centre; extra for luggage or late-night.
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) → Best Western Executive Business Hotel
💡 Book through the official airport taxi stand to avoid overcharging. The hotel is on Via Zara, near the central station, so drivers know it well.
Bari Airport (BRI) → Bari Centrale
