Top 10 Cristoforo Colombo Hotels

This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Trani with everything within walking distance. The rooms are spotless and comfortable and the bathrooms perfect. The hotel is built into an old regal home so the layout is peculiar but this removes nothing from the experience of an excellent hotel. It is in a pedestrian zone so parking has to be paid for as is common in central Italian hotels. There is a beach club available but this is also with a fee - another common Italian feature. Good simple breakfast. I would definitely return.

The Dogana Resort is very much a 5-star hotel. It is a beautifully renovated seventeenth century palace/seminary - now with all modern features, yet without losing the simple grandeur of the building’s origins. Molfetta does is not as touristed as other larger coastal or hill towns in Puglia. In addition to feeling the rhythm of local life here, it is an excellent jumping off point for parts south, west and north. With a car there are many truly unique experiences within a few hours in each direction. At the hotel, our room (with an about 15 foot high ceiling) had a balcony overlooking Molfetta’s port. We enjoyed the vantage point, including watching the local fishing boats heading out to sea and back with their catch. The hotel front desk staff are exceptional! The team was welcoming and accommodating through our visit - answering our many questions and otherwise assisting us throughout our stay. While English is not widely spoken in Molfetta, we had no problems speaking with the bilingual front desk staff. The breakfast menu is ample, with attentive service (Dominico). And of course excellent coffee. We also quite successfully used valet parking to avoid the hassle finding a parking place between day trips.

We stayed here as a base for our holiday in puglia. The hotel staff were very friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were cleaned daily. The hotel is a beautiful building in a fantastic location overlooking Trani port. If you can, book a sea view room. Good choice of breakfast, but no bar or other meals/drinks on site after this time. However there are lots of resturants and cafes locally. Trani is a lovely city and not as touristy as Polignano a mare. It is very popular with Italian families. The train station is a ten minute walk from the hotel and the train service is exceptional. Clean fast trains. We booked through love holidays but in hindsight this is something you can do yourself. Love Holidays did not offer airport transfers etc....

Personale dell’hotel gentilissimo e super disponibile. Posizione ottima perché le camere sono silenziose, e si è vicini al corso principale dove ci sono bellissimi negozi. Hanno anche un servizio taxi. Camera pulitissima, moderna e accogliente.consigliatissimo.
