About
Hotel Boston
Hotel Boston is a compact 4-star property on Via Piccinni, one of Bari's main streets. With only seven rooms, it offers a more personal stay than the larger hotels nearby, while still providing full services like a 24-hour reception, a restaurant, and a lounge area.
Guests consistently highlight the location and the breakfast. You can walk to the old town in about 10 minutes, and the train station is roughly 15 minutes on foot. The hotel also offers private parking nearby, which is a rare convenience in the city center.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Prime location for exploring Bari — The hotel sits on Via Piccinni, a short walk from the old town, the main shopping street, and Teatro Piccinni. The train station is about 15 minutes on foot, and the airport bus stops around the corner.
- Breakfast that guests remember — The buffet includes hot and cold options: cheeses, cold cuts, pastries, fruit, yogurt, cereals, and pancakes you bake in the oven. Several guests called it hearty and generous.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the reception team going out of their way – from giving maps and advice to helping with room features and allowing free luggage storage.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are compact — A few guests note that standard rooms are not large, though they are clean and comfortable. The hotel has only 7 rooms, so it may book out quickly.
- No kettle in rooms — While tea and coffee facilities are listed among hotel amenities, one guest specifically noted that a kettle was missing from the room, which might matter if you like a cuppa in bed.
- Limited breakfast variety for some — Although most praise the breakfast, one guest rated it lower, suggesting the buffet might not suit everyone's expectations.

8.6Verified guest“Modern and spotless room, welcoming reception team, and a breakfast spread with plenty of choices.”
8.6Verified guest“Great spot – 15 minutes on foot from the station and 10 to the old town. The staff were brilliant, handing out maps and tips, and the free safe deposit boxes at reception meant I could head to the beach without my passport. The breakfast was hearty: cheeses, cold cuts, pastries, fruit, yogurt, cereals, and pancake batter you bake yourself. Daily cleaning kept the room fresh, with toiletries and towels replaced. The air conditioning worked well, and when I couldn't figure out the bedside light, a staff member came up and showed me the switch on the windowsill. They also let me store my luggage in a locked room for half a day at no charge – a lovely touch.”
8.6Verified guest“For Italy, this place is solid. Everything you need is there: TV, toiletries, fridge, wardrobe, bidet, hairdryer – though a kettle would have been nice. The Wi-Fi was fast and dependable, and there are two medium-sized elevators. Breakfast was solid – sliced cheese, sausage, butter, bread, cereal, milk, cherries, coffee, and tasty croissants, enough to hold you over until dinner. There's a supermarket right across the street with great cheese. The location is excellent – walking distance from the historic center, and the station is 15 minutes away, with an airport bus stop just around the corner.”
8.6Verified guest“We loved being close to the old town, and the street itself wasn't too noisy. A taxi from the station cost around €10 and to the ferry about €15.”
8.6Verified guest“Roomy and elegant, with attentive staff and a prime location near the station.”
8.6Verified guest“The breakfast buffet was fantastic – a wide selection of fresh, quality items that set you up for a day of exploring.”
