Run away… unable to get some sleep very loud music

Nice looking hotel but avoid it except if you like to sleep in a discotheque !!! We were on second floor and music was so loud to we could barely speak together. We complained at midnight at the reception but they just said sorry but there is a party going on…. Nice but I don’t care, I just wanted to sleep !!! Clearly not the place to stay in Gallipoli.

Good. Although some of the people I traveled with developed some respiratory problems probably due to shower water sprinkled chlorox or disinfectant used! Maybe after cleaning rooms, it needs to be aired out.

Yes, some reviews state that this hotel is a bit away from the city center and you need a car. Dont even think about it because you will be spending a huge amount of time finding a parking space in the center...and you probably wont. Taxi is 10 euro to the old city and by the way...taxifare from airport is fixed....25 euro. Now about the Nicolaus Hotel. Top class service and smiling people everywhere and in every department, from professional and fast check in, really funny guys serving in the bar and proff behaviour in the spa,- which by the way is really nice. Breakfirst is in a totally different leaugue than you would expect from a 4 star hotel. Waiters everywhere to take your order (included) on everything you may not find in the buffet. Breakfirst is a real 6 star experience. We even asked to check out 2 hours later just to make it comply with our taxi to the airport and of course no problem. Thank you very much to everyone at The Niclaus Hotel....there are places 1-2 hours away from Bari that we didnt make this time around so I expect us to be back shortly.

Modern accommodation very close to the beach

Reviewed By SchorschAnggeschnite

Superior ROOM with balcony: the room looks much "fresher" on the photos on the website than in reality, but is more than ok. Large springbox bed, TV, many light variations, safe and a refrigerator. The bathroom is nice and big with a modern glass shower with many functions. Unfortunately everything is not very well maintained. Sloping installation of the shower installation, calcified nozzles and the like, but everything still acceptable. The daily cleaning works fine. BREAKFAST: due to the continuous strong wind we always ate in the pizza room. On top of that we had the Covid requirements that no buffet is allowed. So everything was delivered to the table on advance order. And there were also different quality levels of the staff. While some were super friendly/helpful and delivered exactly what was ordered, others were very unmotivated. FACILITIES: well-tended grounds with lots of greenery and great parking. LOCATION: At the beginning of October there is not much going on/open in Terre Mozza, but that was very convenient for us. Empty beaches and few tourists (everywhere). The place itself is not really worth seeing. But the accommodation is well situated at the quasi own sandy beach and only a comfortable 20 minutes walk is the very nice "Lido Marini". By the way, we have good food and more possibilities in Torre San Giovanni.

A totally fabulous and regal stay!

Reviewed By Rigaina

We stayed for three nights during the Greek Orthodox Easter holidays. The hotel is totally and utterly amazing and aristocratic! Our quirky and impressively decorated rooms were extremely spacious and spotlessly clean! Our room was a trullo and the feeling living in an actual ancient trullo was out of this world. All the staff were very polite and attentive to our needs. Valerio, the manager, from the moment he greeted us when we checked-in, until our check-out, was eager to give us directions as how to fully enjoy his hotel and the magical Alberobello. Nothing was too much for him. He really wanted so much to make us feel comfortable and have an awesome time at the palazzo. The beautiful breakfast was served in our room, with a variety of teas, coffees, breads, jams, cheeses, meats, fruit, yogurt and pastries. We strolled around the town with the amazing trulli and its winding little streets. We felt as if we were staying at the Smurf village. We shall definitely return to the "Palazzo Scotto" soon. Thank you so very much Valerio! We had a memorable stay at your magical place! Many thanks to your wonderful father. We shall see you again soon!

Holiday to remember

Reviewed By markwarner85

We arrived at the hotel after a 3 hour delay at Manchester airport extremely tired and weary. The first person we met was Stanley on reception and what a lovely welcome, Stanley was both professional and welcoming. Although we were B&B we were offered food and refreshments which was most welcome. The hotel itself is flawless modern, stylish and spotless. As it was 2am in the morning Stanley did show us to our room 216 which was very tastefully furnished and comfortable. The following morning we were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful sea views and balcony. Our reservation was for 7 days and i can honestly say during that time we were spoilt and treated so well by all the staff on reception in the restaurant and at the bar. As world wide travelers we have experienced some lovely hotels, however never have we stayed in a hotel where we have been treated with such respect and kindness and for that we are truly grateful. There was a vast array of food at breakfast and the service was outstanding. The restaurant in the evening was run with the same commitment and dedication by all the staff and the Rosso di Primitivo was delicious. Sadly on the 6th July our 7 day vacation came to and end but WOW what a lovely time we had. Thank you to all the staff for your kindness & professionalism you made our holiday. Keep up the fantastic work guys you are all doing an amazing job.

Modern hotel with great breakfast

Reviewed By arkadyku

Quiet location (5 minutes car drive from the old city), free parking, excellent wifi, spacious room, modern room furniture and equipment, great breakfast, lifts. The only problem - window in the room cannot be open. It was locked for some reason. If you want really quiet room, ask the room with a window to backyard, because this hotel very close to the city road with pretty busy traffic.

Reviewed By ChiaraMol

We stayed 2 nights whilst in Bari for a wedding. The hotel is not so close to the city center and you would either need a car or taxi. I read that there is public transport nearby but cannot confirm as we did not use it. Our room was on the third floor, it was spacious and clean. The water bottles in the mini bar were complimentary, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was varied and it included sweet and savory dishes as well as fresh fruit and the possibility of making a fresh fruit extract. In the hall there are jugs with fresh water as well as coffee machines that can be used free of charge. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful - I had mistakenly booked only one night instead of two and they did their utmost to extend our stay and have us stay in the same room - thank you! Overall a very good, functional hotel
