While some found the selection limited and suggested improvements like adding savory items and fresh juice, the majority enjoyed the delicious offerings, particularly the pastries and coffee. The staff’s service during breakfast has been described as friendly and polite, enhancing the morning experience.
A few reviews mention that breakfast could benefit from replenishing options more frequently and ensuring items like croissants and juices are available throughout the service period. Despite these minor critiques, the breakfast was generally perceived as good with the exceptional view from the terrace receiving consistent praise.
In summary, Hotel La Baia's breakfast is lauded for its lovely rooftop setting, varied and generous options and the quality of food, making it a cherished part of the guest experience.
Dinner
While the convenience of dining at the hotel is appreciated, some guests noted limitations. The restaurant's menu is described as simple and limited and the restaurant itself is relatively small. There are also mentions of inconsistency in the quality of food with some meals described as inedible or of an average standard.
Despite these criticisms, many guests have enjoyed their meals, taken in the spectacular views from the terrace and found the food to be very affordable. However, the hotel restaurant does close on Sundays, which might require guests to plan accordingly. Overall, while the dining experience at Hotel La Baia has its drawbacks, the scenic rooftop setting and reasonable pricing offer appealing aspects for travelers.
Rooms
However, some aspects of the rooms could use improvement. The decor and furniture are often described as outdated and several reviews point out that the bathrooms, in particular, need renovation. The presence of thin walls and noise issues detract from the otherwise quiet ambiance of many parts of the hotel. Additionally, the rooms vary in size with some guests finding the smaller rooms uncomfortable and not in line with a 3-star hotel standard.
Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment is positive. Guests find the rooms to be functional and well-equipped with larger rooms often receiving higher praise for their spaciousness, cleanliness and comfort. The hotel’s friendly and helpful staff further enhance the experience, making it a decent choice for travelers seeking a clean and comfortable stay, though with an expectation of somewhat dated interiors and occasional noise.
Beds
Cleanliness related to the bedding is mostly positive with mentions of clean towels and well-maintained general cleanliness. Yet, there are a few complaints about dirty beds and musty-smelling bedding. While some guests found the bedding quality to be high and the beds themselves to be a good size, others found issues with the overall bed quality, such as uncomfortable pillows and noises from the beds.
There are mixed reviews regarding the arrangement of beds, particularly noting the use of double beds with two single mattresses, which some guests found less comfortable. Additionally, some guests found the bedspreads too light for the season, adding to their discomfort.
In summary, while many guests have enjoyed a comfortable sleep at Hotel La Baia thanks to its generally good bedding and mattresses, others have experienced issues that highlight the inconsistency in bed quality and maintenance.
Cleanliness
Rooms are typically noted to be clean and comfortable, equipped with conveniences like air conditioning, fridges and TVs. Many reviewers appreciated the clean and spacious accommodations, remarking on the clean environment and stating that the cleanliness meets expectations.
However, some guests have encountered issues that suggest the cleaning quality might fluctuate. Complaints involve details such as dirty curtains, mold in the bathroom and dusty floors. Some rooms were reported to contain unclean elements like hair and dust and a few guests were dissatisfied with rooms being cleaned only upon request, pointing out issues like uncleaned bathrooms.
In summary, while Hotel La Baia generally provides a clean and comfortable stay, consistency in housekeeping standards could further enhance guest satisfaction.
Staff
Moreover, guests commend the multilingual capabilities of the staff, which adds to the convenience and comfort of international travelers. The breakfast service also earns high marks, not only for the quality of the food but also for the pleasant service provided by the staff. The hotel's breakfast terrace with its stunning sea view further complements the excellent morning meal experience.
In summary, Hotel La Baia's team stands out for their exceptional customer service, characterized by a welcoming attitude, thorough professionalism and a genuine effort to ensure a pleasant stay for their guests.
Wi-Fi
Parking
While the parking facilities are generally well-received, there are occasional mentions of the parking lot being small and somewhat challenging to maneuver, especially during peak times when it might be crowded. Despite this, the majority of guests appreciate the ease and convenience of having on-site parking included in their stay, considering it good value for money. The 24-hour reception and secure parking further add to the positive experience.
Overall, Hotel La Baia’s parking options cater well to guest needs, ensuring a hassle-free stay for those with vehicles.
3 Star
However, there are mixed feelings about the breakfast provided. Although some found it slightly compensating, others noted the limited options and medium-low quality. A lack of fresh fruit and variety of cereals were specifically mentioned. The mattresses also show clear signs of wear and could impact comfort.
Overall, the hotel delivers on the essential promises of a three-star stay, offering a standard experience at a reasonable cost, but there is room for improvement, especially in the amenities and structural updates.
Accessible
The hotel, however, poses challenges for those with mobility issues, as it is best reached by taxi and the nearby beach is not easily accessible for disabled guests. While the rooms are clean and well-arranged, they may be too small for wheelchair users, which might pose a significant discomfort.
Located near the center and the sea, the hotel is easy to reach if using a car. Public transport is less ideal for accessing the downtown area or other parts of Bari. Despite these challenges, the accommodating approach of the staff makes Hotel La Baia a viable option for a brief stay.
