"Everything we needed"

Staff are welcoming and friendly whilst being very proficient and knowledgable, especially on fine wines. The atmosphere is relaxed in every part of the hotel, bar or restaurant, dinner or breakfast.

Beautiful room. Big and spacious, especially considering I was a single traveller. The memory foam mattress and pillow made it difficult to want to leave the hotel room! It was SO comfortable!

If you have to visit naples, this hotel is a convenient base very close to the station. This hotel was about the only redeeming factor in the 2 nights we spent in Naples. Modern, well fitted out and very reasonably priced. The city itself is categorically the most unappealling place I have ever visited - worse than 3rd world africa. Extremely dirty and not some where to be out walking at night. The best thing that could happen to the city would be another eruption of vesuvious so that they can start again. I would add photos of the scenes of rubbish and chaos in the square outside the hotel but it would not fairly present what is actually a nice hotel. If you you are chosing naples as a base to visit Pompei or herculaneum, stay in Sorrento instead.

Very stylish- great choice

We loved this Hotel and Naples. We had to change our travelling dates last minute but the hotel were really accomodating and when we arrived they had updated us to a great corner suite with balconies on three sides of the almost circular room. The hotel is in an older building but is fitted out in a very contempory way with great bathrooms and huge beds. Staff are friendly if not effusive and speak good English. We didn't eat there but breakfast was good (continental and cooked available) and could be taken on the rooftop terrace. The hotel is on the corner of Piazza Garibaldi which isn't the most scenic of squares and is very noisy but the rooms are well soundproofed and airconditioned (bit feeble though in our room in comparison to the glacial aircon you get outside Europe). There is a taxi rank outside and the main staion and the local trains to vesuvius and Pompeii are close by but you can easily walk to the Centre Storico. It was dirty and scruffy but we felt safe at night and the rubbish problem seems a bit exaggerated. There were some overflowing bins and the city is very littered but no smell or vermin issues at all. Naples is not as easy to love as other italian mini break destinations or as accessible as somewhere like Barcelona which is in many ways similar. The infrastructure is crumbling almost third world, and the city doesn't have a clearly defined tourist heart. However there are some fantastic areas to explore, countless neglected baroque churches, vibrant markets etc and the food is great and very cheap. Stick to pizza, pasta and simple seafood and you will eat very well. There is also a huge variety of wonderful street food and pastries as well as the famous ice cream. I think Naples is a great destination for someone who has already been to Rome and is maybe quite comfortable with independant travel. It is not a very restful place so a few days are probably enough. It is also a great starting point for a longer exploration of the area. Herculaneum and Pompeii are less than an hour on the train and Sorrento and the glorious Amalfi coast are a a bit further. Getting out of the city is really easy on the ferries that ply the resort towns and the Islands. There are several different companies competing from the harbour so do a bit of research. We chose Ischia over Capri for a day trip as it is supposed to be less crowded- the ferry cost 30 euros return and took about 40 mins. Ischia was gorgeous albeit very touristy and we had an amazing long boozy lunch at one of the harbour-front restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel as it is very stylish but very reasonably priced.
