Ramada Naples - Naples, Italy

This is a 20th century building so the room and bathroom were large and typical for a Ramada Hotel in a major U.S city. The room was very comfortable and well appointed as was the hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful! The breakfast was equally nice with a wide assortment of foods. It was well located, only a few blocks from the train station, which is why we chose this hotel. But the area was very busy, high traffic with construction nearby. Our room was on the back side, not street side, so it was quiet. I would stay here again.

Posh hotel, pity about Naples and the vicinity of the hotel. The hotel staff were sometimes good but have failed to reply by email when I lost my shaver. Rooms are noisy as the road between the hotel and station is the motorway feed. Food and hospitality not so good, but very good breakfast. You need to ask for an expresso from a grumpy waiter, as the coffee offered as help yourself is awful. If Italy would spend a bit of time considering the pedestrian, then the experience of travellers would be so much better! The streets around Naples are truly awful for anyone walking and totally impossible for a wheelchair user. The bits of pavement are broken up by holes, manholes and excavations. Where there is a pavement, it stops at an impossible road crossing of four unpredictable lanes of traffic who ignore all ped crossings. The various tourist bus/ archeo tickets are very confusing. Get your info before you go, as tourist information staff are only just helpful and hate repeating themselves as their english is SO perfect!( Yes I know, we should speak Italian, but we brits are very poor at all that....French, maybe.)

I will definetely stay again at this Ramada next time i visit Naples! If you are a tourist, like me, and want to visit the surrounding touristy towns by train (like Sorrento, Pompei and Herculanum), the Ramada cant be beat for it's location!! It is in a seedy part of town right next to the main trainstation (Napoli Garibaldi), but this is the main advantage of the hotel. The side door to the Circumvesuviana (trains to Sorrento and Pompei) is located right across the street from the entrance to the Ramada. We were travelling these trains every dayfor 5 days and the hotel's location was incredibly convienient! Yes, the streets around the hotel are busy and dirty, but you gotta take that into account when you travel to Naples! I felt safe, and after looking around the city, i would choose this Ramada again next time i visit. To the hotel: It was spotlessly clean and the bathroom was better then most Italian hotel bathrooms i've been in. The bed was also bigger then expected. The room was silent at night which surprized me as well because of the location. (There was however, small tremors whenever the train below the streets left the station!) The cleaning staff is wonderful and i felt at home in the room. The breakfast buffet was better then most Italian breakfasts, but there is no whole grain bread, just hard white rolls and crusty white bread. There is fresh fruit, musli and a selection of cold cuts to choose from. There is machine coffee served, but do yourself a favor and ask the waiter for a fresh cappuccino! They are happy to oblige. The rest of the staff at the Ramada were curtious and friendly. There is not much of a lobby at the hotel, but we were never there anyway! If you are planning on staying in Naples a few days and doing some sightseeing on the local train system, I highly recommend this hotel. Keep in mind, Naples has no "central" town square where tourists generally congregate in luxury hotels.

The hotel was a great find, great quality for its price. The service was great, only major downside was the location: a very noisy street, tens of meters from the entry to the highway, 5-6 meters from the Circumvesuviana trainstation. The neighborhood was unsettling as well, especially when walking in the Garibaldi Place. Although nothing bad happened to us, we had to keep an open eye to all the creepy people there. Especially since the hotel wasn't *that* close to the trainstation as advertised and we had to walk around 500-600 meters in the neighborhood. Not a problem for me, but others might have problems with it.
