Hotel Santa Marta - Pozzuoli, Italy 

This hotel was extremely hard to find. the staff were really helpful but spoke little english. the beds were terrible and and three of the five in my room broke when we first sat on them. luckily we were only staying one night...

I stayed at the Santa Marta for two nights in December with my wife and two sons. I used to live in the Pozzuoli area six years ago, and I'm very used to the "relaxed" attitude of a lot of the inhabitants of Naples and the surrounding area. However this particular hotel was difficult to find by car even though I knew my way around the area. Parking was good, as there is ample space in a large and secure courtyard at the rear of the hotel. The reception staff were reasonably helpful when checking in, but soon lost interest once you had found your room. The rooms are sparse and basic (typical of the area), and very noisy. I found it necessary to relocate my family after the second night, due to shouting, screaming and wall thumping from other Italian guests. This is an adequate hotel for single night stays for travellers without children. I would say this hotel is expensive, and there are other hotels in the area which would give better service...
