Olive Tree in Bari

The staff at Olive Tree Hostel welcomed me and met my immediate need of a meal recommendation and then a good night’s rest. . The hostel was clean and other clients kind and thoughtful. I enjoyed my stay in Bari because of them. Dawn from USA

Loved the staff and the service, very helpful and recommended some great places.
The noise at night from the street was a bit annoying when trying to sleep. I was fortunate to have a bunk bed that wasnt squeaky, however there were other bunks beds in the room that were very squeaky and caused quite a bit ot annoyance too, maybe these bunk beds need to be checked and tighten?

The location is great. The rooms, shared showers and toilets are clean, and the staff are very friendly. My favorite part is the terrace and balcony. There are plenty of tables and chairs, and it was a comfortable space. I'd like to stay here again.

The staff was really friendly and kind.
The location was very good.

It was a 10 minute walk to the 3 train stations and 2 bus stations around Bari Centrale. The train stations are 2/3 doors from one another. Kind of confusing.

The staff were very helpful in looking up schedules and advising where to go.

Breakfast is just cereals, bread, juice and coffee. Also the kitchen is locked some time at night and is open around 7:45 in the morning. You can cook in the kitchen.

It's close to the station and easy to access. The facilities are clean and the staff are really nice. Breakfast is just bread and juice, but there is a lot of it so you can eat your fill.

Staff are friendly and location is good

Originally booked only for 2 nights but I ended up making another reservation for an extra night! The best choice i could think of considering it's strategically located on straight line distance from Bari Centrale Station. ( Just a 10min walk )

Perfect, the only thing to improve is the breakfast but otherwise everything was perfect! I recommend

The Olive Tree is an affordable hostel that is perfectly fine to stay at. The location is good, close to the train station and 10 minutes walk from the old town. The staff is varying degrees of helpful. I arrived in the morning to drop off my bags and had to wait till the afternoon to check in. The girl that showed me the map in the morning basically just drew a line to show me where the old town was, which was not really useful. Later when I came back to check in a different woman was there and she went over the map with me again with great detail and all kinds of suggestions and ideas. Overall the hostel was clean. At times a bit dirty but that's the fault of other travelers not having manners and not really the hostel's fault. They had lockers with locks and keys provided for free. As other reviewers mention, the doors to the individual rooms do not lock. This is the first time I've ever encountered this in a hostel. There are 3 bathrooms/showers (individual, meaning only one person can use each one at a time) for the whole hostel so mornings might get competitive. I recommend showering in the afternoon or evening. Overall a nice stay and I'd come back again.
