Best hotel I experienced in Italy! A quick summary:
- Great location
- Friendly staff
- Clean, modern and bright room
- Breakfast provided
Location is very convenient, just 1 block from the train station with Trentalia, the metro and Circumvesuviana. Saw some reviews about it being harc to find, but with Google maps it was easy. Just exit the train station on the right side, cross the street and go past the bakery/coffee shop; it's the green gate.
The neighbourhood isn't the best in sense that the people are lower income, but we did NOT see drugs, girls by the hour or the like. The building itself is locked and we came back late (10-11pm) every night and felt safe. There is a convenience store and bakery just downstairs which open very late (at least until midnight), but not too many nice restaurants around. It's a bit of a walk, but there is a really good pizzeria (good seafood and pasta too) in the neighbourhood you could try, O'Marenaro. Like many small hotels in Italy, it is a single unit located within a larger building, and this unit has a reception and 5 individual rooms. Our room for 3 people had a queen and double bed, as well as a lounger.
This place is run by Ettore, who is SUPER friendly (but not overbearing). He gave us lots of tips on what to see in Naples and how to get to what was on our itinerary, complete with pictures on his computer to show us what we could see at each place. He also arranged for a cab to the airport for us. He isn't at the front desk
