Reviews and Ratings
I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were lovely with a great view and a huge bathroom, although they might not be ideal for very young children. The service was exceptional, with some staff going above and beyond to accommodate us. The location was perfect for exploring the area, although the constant traffic on the nearby road was a bit of a downside. The dining experience was delightful, especially the morning spread. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money.
The hotel offers stunning views over the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius, with clean and well-equipped rooms, though there were some issues with smells. The service was a mix of great attentiveness and a few shortcomings. The location is ideal for active travelers but requires transportation for most activities. Dining was average with a nice variety but lacked hot items. Overall, a decent value stay with some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beautiful views were overshadowed by the small, submarine-like rooms and the initial cigarette smell. The hotel's location was a great base for exploring nearby attractions, but there were some issues with the description accuracy. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast was one of the best I had during my vacation in Italy.
I stayed at the hotel and it was a mixed experience. While the room didn't have a view being in the basement, it was very comfortable with a well-filled fridge. The service was friendly and helpful overall, although there were some instances of attitude. The location was convenient but required driving to get around easily. The dining options were pleasant, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I felt like I was in a cozy boat or submarine with a room that was small but very clean, offering fresh towels daily and great amenities such as a big shower, fantastic TV, reliable Wifi, refreshing AC, and a comfy bed. The breathtaking view of the Gulf of Napoli added an extra touch to my stay. The rooms were large, modern, and attractive, providing all the necessary amenities, including the rare find of free in-room DSL internet after months of travel around Italy.
Staying at this hotel was a memorable experience. The rooms were comfortable, modern, and clean, offering a stunning view across the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the location, while beautiful and tranquil, may pose challenges for those looking to explore on foot.
