B&B MariLù, spotless rooms near Foggia station
B&B MariLù is a bed and breakfast in Foggia, in Apulia, a few steps from the station, the centre and the university. Clean rooms, some with a balcony, and very helpful hosts. It suits anyone travelling for work, study or to see the city without needing luxury.

Where B&B MariLù is and how to get there
The B&B MariLù is on Via Isonzo, in Foggia, in an area guests describe as central and convenient for getting around on foot. Several reviews mention being a few metres from the station, the centre and the university.
For me that is its main strength. If you arrive by train or have to visit the city, you hardly need a car here. According to the property description, the neighbourhood is quiet but well connected by public transport.
What the rooms are like
The rooms at B&B MariLù are described as refurbished, tastefully furnished and very clean. The property lists air conditioning, free wifi, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries.
One guest describes a room with a balcony and a small table with two chairs, comfortable enough for a meal in the room. Another talks about a spacious room with a very comfortable bed, and another calls it perfectly soundproofed. I do not know whether every room has a balcony, so ask when you book.
The description also mentions a shared, fully equipped kitchen, useful if you stay several days and want to prepare something yourself.
What guests say
The Google rating is 4.9 out of 5, from 40 reviews. It is a modest number, but the picture is very consistent.
- Cleanliness. Nearly everyone mentions it first, with rooms and bathrooms described as spotless and fresh-smelling.
- The hosts. Several guests highlight their helpfulness and kindness, including when suggesting what to see.
- The location. Station, centre and university within walking distance.
- Value for money. More than one person rates it excellent.
What to know before you book
There are no negative reviews, so any drawbacks have to be found in the details. The most useful thing to know concerns breakfast. According to several guests, the B&B works with a pastry bar nearby, where the coffee and cakes are appreciated, while the property description talks about an Italian-style breakfast served every morning. It is best to ask how it works in your case.
There is also the question of the number of reviews, which is not huge. I have no information about parking or reception either, so if you arrive by car or at an unusual time, write first.

Who it is suited to
I would choose B&B MariLù for a practical stay in Foggia, whether for work, an exam or a stop in Apulia without wasting time on getting around. It also works well for couples and for anyone staying a few days, thanks to the shared kitchen.
If you are looking for a place with resort-style facilities, a pool or an on-site restaurant, you will not find them here. It is a small, well-kept B&B, and that is enough to make it a good choice.
What to see and where to stay nearby
From Foggia, in Apulia, it is easy to use the city as a base for exploring the area. These are names I can only mention, without details. To continue your trip around the region, you will find the Bike-Hotel Abete in San Giovanni Rotondo, Le Stanze di Ricci in Lesina and the B&B il Purgatorio in Barletta.
In the city, guests mention above all how easy it is to get around on foot, with the pastry bar for breakfast just round the corner.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
