Overall a great choice
Pros:
The front desk staff were incredibly hospitable and helpful with anything I needed.
Rooms look great and everything is clean.
Wonderful location directly across Herculaneum and near some of the best pizza in the world. 8 minute walk to Circumvesuvia train line
Cons:
Very basic breakfast. Wi-Fi did not work on the 3rd day. No view from my balcony.

Toilets wouldn’t flush. Prompted room move and then the management decided they needed the room they had moved is to. So had to move again. 4 night stay 3 different rooms. Really loud area. Bed/mattress in every room was rock hard but the noise kept you awake anyway. Otherwise v well position hotel for Herculaneum which is literally across the road.

Good bones but tired furnishings
Convenient hotel to visit the ruins at Herculaneum and to catch the Mt Vesuvius bus. The staff were great and there is a nice BYO terraza. The room was clean and has nice new-ish floors but the beds were awful - I felt individual springs and when I took sheets off could see the mattress cloth cover was worn through.
The furniture looked like 1970s kit.
New furniture would totally revamp this hotel - the bones are good.

Great place for a night - so convenient being right outside the Herculaneum park and very close to the train station. Free breakfast was a bonus.

Disgusting. Room was so dirty, literal piles of dirt in the corners. No mattress protectors on the beds. Our room was next to the common toilets and it would smell when someone used the toilets. People laughing and yelling at 2:30 in the morning. I would not recommend this “hotel” to anyone else. More of a glorified hostel.

Located right outside Herculaneum and a short walk uphill to the train station this hotel is very convenient. Perfect if you are getting the late flight into Naples as no public transport is available and long distance taxis are extortionate. (This was €65 which was insane compared to the extremely cheap buses and trains in the day however it was over €150 to get nearer Sorrento) We used this as a base for 2 days to see Pompeii, climb vesuvius and see Herculaneum before moving to Sorrento side. The bus to reach the Vesuvius hike was at the train station a few minutes walk away. Hotel was clean, had aircon, a cute outdoor area and free continental breakfast. Very noisy from the street. Take ear plugs if light sleepers.

Pictures are a misrepresentation of the hotel
The pictures on the website look nothing like the hotel. The hotel was dirty, worn and disgusting. The stairs that led to the floor where the bedrooms were located was actually a fire escape. Metal stairs with no backing and outside of the building. Not safe at all. After seeing the hotel and the state of the rooms, we decided not to stay. In all my years of travelling, I have never left a hotel.
The neighborhood is not safe. There is no parking other than a lot a few blocks down the street. You cannot enter the hotel unless you ring the doorbell (which we did repeatedly before there was an answer) and are allowed in. Despite the hotel misrepresenting itself in the pictures on Hotels.com, they refused to refund. I wish I had taken pictures of the rooms to prove the misrepresentation.

The staff were helpful and the breakfast was very nice. It is a good location if someone wants to tour the ruins across the street.
Parking cost extra, which was not a problem for us, but the parking area was not near to the hotel which was a bit of a hassle.

The Hotel was right at the entrance to Herculaneum, so that was very convenient. The staff was very helpful in letting us move rooms as our initial room smelled a bit like sewage coming up the pipes in the bathroom. The city itself is a bit run down and the drivers are aggressive, but visiting the ruins was beautiful and informative as we had a private guide.

Nice staff and reasonably clean room. We had the basic so I didn’t expect large- Breakky was ok
But noisy area and very thin walls, could hear everything next door and around us excellent location for ruins so if you’re only staying one night it’s doable.

Awesome place to stay !!!
The first thing to say is "WOW", what a great place to stay - the entire place was beautiful and was such a perfect stop on our trip to Sicilia. The room was so nice and comfortable we didn't want to leave. The food was incredible and the staff was just over the top awesome !!! We are very picky when we travel about cleanliness, value and customer service - we were so pleased that everything was even better than advertised - we will absolutely stay here again when we get the chance !!!! Bellisimo !! Bella !! Perfetto !!
