What guests say

Reviews highlight the excellent central location, making it easy to explore Bari's old town and access the main attractions, station, and airport. The property is recently renovated, very clean, and nicely decorated; rooms are comfortable, though some lack windows. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful host who provides useful local tips. Breakfast is adequate but could be improved at the partner café. Overall, the great value for money and professional hospitality make this property highly recommended.

Our room was located on the ground floor, practically at street level, but the street was quiet and very peaceful. The drawback was the complete lack of windows or balconies both in the room and in the bathroom. If I had been given this information earlier I would have asked for another room or changed accommodation. From the photos on the site this lack was not evident and the host did not bother to specify it. Cleaning was every other day and the same applied to towel changes. In the shower there was only a ceiling showerhead and no handheld shower. And no complimentary set (a shower cap would have been appreciated!), only dispensers at the sink and in the shower. Cleaning was not adequate: there was dust, air and cobwebs. Breakfast was sufficient. The voucher for the affiliated bar included a hot drink and a croissant of choice; the pasticciotto was available only for an extra charge. No, it was not what I expected. I will not return and I will not recommend it.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Sabrina, siamo consapevoli di non poter piacere a tutti ma quanto scritto nella sua recensione sembra un tantino esagerato visto che il 95% degli ospiti ci recensisce con punteggi che vanno dall'8 al 10. La camera in cui ha soggiornato è stata richiesta da Lei personalmente; disponiamo di altre due camere, dotate di finestra/balcone, ai piani superiori per le quali avrebbe potuto optare. È vero che non dispone di finestra, ma dispone di ventilazione meccanica accesa h24 che garantisce riciclo d'aria continuativamente. Nella stessa camera ha trovato tutto quanto citato nell'annuncio, motivo per il quale mi sembra davvero inadeguato scrivere di non aver trovato la cuffietta e il set di cortesia non previsti nelle dotazioni. Infine, credo che il commento sulla scarsa pulizia sia frutto dell'insoddisfazione generale; le posso garantire che ci occupiamo delle pulizie personalmente (no ditte esterne) e facciamo sempre un doppio controllo prima di consegnare le camere agli ospiti. La sua camera era impeccabile quando le è stata consegnata. Mai nessuno in 5 anni di attività si è mai lamentato della scarsa pulizia; può appurarlo dalle innumerevoli recensioni presenti online sui maggiori siti di prenotazione. Nonostante tutto, saremmo felici di poterLa ospitare ancora, magari in una camera ai piani superiori, così da darLe la possibilità di ricredersi. Un caro saluto

"Great place, super comfortable!"\nJun 2025 • Couples\nReally enjoyed my stay at Arvian B&B. The room was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed. The location is great-close to the center but still quiet. The host was friendly and gave me some good tips for places to check out. Also, the breakfast was really nice. Would totally stay here again!

The room is located in a beautiful recently renovated house. Very good location in the historic center. Very clean. We would have liked a more substantial breakfast. Other than that, everything was perfect. I recommend it.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Romina, grazie per aver apprezzato gran parte degli aspetti della mia struttura. Tuttavia, leggere voto 1 alla colazione per aver preteso cosa non era compreso in quello che offriamo, mi è sembrata una ripicca di cattivo gusto. È stato comunque un piacere ospitarvi. A presto!

Great availability from the host. He gave us all the information to find the accommodation and tips about the area. Accurate payment and receipt sending. The room was clean, not too big but comfortable. One downside is the window without a view of the city and the blind bathroom.

The structure is brand new. Fantastic location in the heart of old Bari. Impeccable cleanliness. The only drawback of our room (abbasc), being on the ground floor, was that it lacked a window. But for just one night, it did not affect our stay. Armando is a very friendly and helpful person. Highly recommended structure.

Arvian B&B was a lovely surprise situated so close to the beautiful Cathedral of San Sabino. Everything was close to hand - great restaurants, shopping and the airport. Our host was exceptional and gave many recommendations on restaurants, sights and personally organised a taxi to the airport for a very early morning flight home. The rooms were tasteful and spotlessly clean! I highly recommend this accommodation 😊

A welcoming place, well-kept and impeccably managed. The bar's breakfasts did not live up to the standard of the property, a little more smile and flexibility in the offer would have been enough.
