Staff was awesome. Safe place, full kitchen, free breakfast and a really nice patio to chill out. Great wifi. Hot showers - big bathrooms. Towel hire, luggage store for after checkout. Bed was a bit worn and creaky. Overall a fun and safe stay at a great value.

Great place to stopover in Bari
Room is spacious, bed is quite comfy. Staff are very helpful with travel tips. The renovation work means unavoidable noise during the day, and traffic along the main road is rather noisy too at night so bring some ear plugs. Overall I wud stay if I’m ever go to Bari again

Okay hostel
It was adequate. Not much goes on in the hostel but the staff were friendly and informative. The kitchen is adequate but no microwave. Breakfast was cereals, bread, coffee, tea, and one random fruit. There is no lounge, only an outside balcony. Personal locker is free but room is not lockable. Free parking on Sundays.

A great spot to explore Bari
The Olive Tree was a lovely spot to explore Bari and Puglia! The staff made me feel right at home and provided suggestions for restaurants, transportation, and spots to visit. I didn't make it to all of them, but the ones I did were great. Likewise, I took advantage of one of the day trips they offered (to Alberobello and Polignano a Mare) and it was fabulous! The location is close walking distance to both the old town of Bari and the Central train station (5-10 minutes to each), and the staff helped me out with the train schedules and routes as needed. The location makes it a quick, easy trip to the airport and other towns in the region. I stayed in a private room and it was GREAT for a hostel single- large, sunny, clean, and with access to the balcony. They do have VERY specific check-in hours during the winter, which is something to heed if you're headed there in the off-season. (I was aware before arriving, so I planned accordingly.) Breakfast was nothing to write home about, but was sufficient (cereals, breads, jams, coffee) and left me room to eat all of the delightful things Bari has to offer. The kitchen is the main common space, and proved to be a good place to meet other travelers staying the hostel.

Staff were a bonus to the stay!
Maggie invited myself and another guest out for dinner with her and Leah one night. They showed us some great places to eat in Old town and had a wonderful time. Hostel is clean, good amount of amenities and a nice little breakfast to start the day. Thank you to the full team at Olive Tree.

Only a 9 min walk from Bari central station. The staff and owner David were extremely helpful/very knowledgeable of area. Great outside deck to have a lunch, coffee or just relax. Breakfast is very basic and could be better - yogurt or fruit perhaps? Would I stay there again - absolutely.

You can’t do better in Bari!
The good vibes at Olive Tree really made for the best hostel stay I have ever had. The place is spacious and spotless and well suited for the number of people it serves. David and his staff are amazing and suggestions for travel in and around Bari were right on. Be sure you save time to trek out to Matera and get direction to the 2€ focaccia... it will change your life. I loved Olive Tree so much

Great location close to central Station
Was in a 10-person room for 1 night and it was really hot during the night despite the aircon being on. Had 3 mosquito bites that night but it's summer so can't blame the hostel for that. 2 bathrooms (shower and toilet together) in total - very busy in the morning. Hostle charges 3€ for bag storage after check-out. Map is great.

Fantastic Hostel all around!
I had a truly lovely experience at Olive Tree! The staff and owner are all so kind, welcoming, and warm! It felt like I was staying with family or old friends. The location is great, close to Centrale station, walking distance to Old Town Bari, and in great proximity to many shops and markets. I was in Bari to find my ancestral ties and will be returning soon. There's no way I'll stay anywhere else than Olive Tree! I highly recommend it! Thank you so much David, Marco, and all other staff!!!

Street noise, rest of the hostel is fine
Bari is a very congested city and the hostel is located outside a very loud street. Although the location is convenient and the premises is safe and clean, the noise from outside goes all night long so it's hard to sleep.
