Il Pumo - Apulian Rooms Bari Calefati 78

Great apartment, very good location, parking not too far away. The instructions how to find the spot were very clear. Snacks and drinks were a nice addition!

Didn’t see any staff All by messages. Lifts had enough room for our luggage and one person. Someone didn’t close the lift door so had to walk 5 stories to get to lift

Location

A small misunderstanding of which one we booked.

The room itself was clean and decently sized by European standards. The drinks and snacks were replenished each day and free of charge. That beats even the most expensive 5-star hotels! The shower had good water pressure and remained warm through multiple people showering. The bathrooms smelled clean with all its fixtures and fittings well maintained. There was no closet. The bed was on the softer side; side sleepers will find it comfortable whilst back sleepers may struggle or, if you're older, may wake up with sore hips. Our room came with a small balcony but the view wasn't much to write about just overlooking the rear of other buildings.

This is not a hotel!! There is no reception! All instructions were delivered via WhatsApp and there was no phone number to call. Multiple times we tried the number given in the WhatsApp message but no one ever answered. False advertising. That said, the person on the WhatsApp did answer out queries in a reasonable timeframe – typically a few minutes. If you're like us though and want a real person there to talk to, avoid this place. The lift broke down twice whilst we were there resulting in us having to lug our bags up SEVEN FLIGHTS of stairs. There was a resident in the building that had a large dog and when they took the lift there was no space for anyone else. In essence then, expect to take seven (7) flights of stairs in your normal day-to-day and hope the lift works on the days you check-in and check-out. The building itself is ... fine. I wouldn't say it's as outdated as other reviews suggest. That said, the lift needs to be replaced. Ideally it would've been built larger. Two carry-on bags and two people is its absolute max capacity.
