Hotel San Paolo - Naples, Italy 

"Excellent price, excellent service, back of beyond"

If you have a car, this is the hotel for you; if not, be prepared to trek 30 mins in every direction to get to the nearest Metro / Restaurant / Bank etc. These guys were tripping over themselves to be helpful - the rooms are excellently furnished, the breakfast buffet good by any standards, the free WiFi was fine - we enjoyed 4 days here, and the immediate area is pretty good by Naples standards (i.e. crap beyond belief, watch out for the dog mess on the pavement etc). Getting into and out of Naples, Pompeii, Cuma or anywhere involves either a 20 min taxi ride (€10, or €20 if you take the "Hotel Car") or a 30 min trek to the Metro and then a 30 min train ride from the midle of nowhere to the middle of nowhere. Don't take the latter option, even though ti only costs €1. The Pozzuoli / Bagnoli area is a dive with few decent restaurants and some fairly dingy streets; nothing dangerous, but nothing nice either. Travel 20 mins in any direction and the world opens up, and we particularly enjoyed Capri. Pompeii is great, but a pig to get to from the Autostrade. If we went back to Naples, we'd stay here again. This is an oasis in a human cesspit.
