Hotel Majesty in Bari

The Majesty Hotel truly fell from grace.

The what i assumed to be a once great hotel for the suit wearing elites is now not even a comfortable stay for the average tourist.

It begins with the parking. While the parking is spacious, it is constantly full due to the neighboring pool and congress hall taking up all the parking spots. Meaning that the tired guest would be left to park his car on the busy road outside the hotel grounds.

Then we went to the reception to check in. The staff could all speak english. But the equipment and bureau were outdated and obsolete. The use of paper and windows vista made the check-in lengthy and prolonged.

After checking in, we checked the room. It was mediocre at best. there was no water cooker or any equipment. It was just a bare room straight out of the 80s. The halls are dark and noisy. The shower was calcified, humid, and smelly. But the worst thing was the blanket, or lack thereof. They expected the weary traveler to make do with a blanket cover. In my stay, this was a combination for a restless and cold night.

When the morning finally came, it was time for a good breakfast. But this was truly the bottom point of our stay at the Majesty. We took place at the breakfast at 8 o'clock and found out that the whole buffet had been plundered by suit wearing businessmen from the congress hall next door. Leaving nothing for the paying guests. Not only were there almost no free tables due to the business men leaving their mess around. But we had to make do with the edibles that no one else wanted. Sugary donuts and soft tomatoes. And instant coffee that even a tasteless Italian would pass up on. This situation didn't chance for a whole hour as the waiter took priority in cleaning the mess first before handling the hungry guests.

One time was acceptable due to the situation. But the very next day was just the same. Even when we went at 7.30 to escape the masses.

The gym was expansive but outdated. The cleaning supplies for the equipment were well past expiration and probably put the during covid.

For my two week round trip in Italy, this has been the worst hotel by far. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes for a relaxed vacation.

You will be placed 2nd best after the congressmen. For the money, they are asking for a room it makes you think twice.

I would like to thank the friendly cleaning.
