Hotel Nettuno

This is a very reasonably priced simple hotel (44 euros per night for a single room) in the heart of Naples. Don't expect luxuries like free bottles of shampoo but it has everything you basically need. The staff are friendly, informative and helpful. There is a very pleasant rooftop garden with a view of Vesuvius. The area feels safe (for Naples, always an edgy city) and the hotel is pretty quiet. The place is very clean and the breakfast (4 euros extra) is good value, like the hotel itself.

The mattress on my bed was past its best. There was canned music in the breakfast room, although it was turned down on request. And, though this did not worry me personally, there are a lot of stairs that need climbing to reach the hotel on the top floor, because the lift does not go all the way.

Great location. Easy to get around

Bathroom was tiny. Large staircase to climb with luggage before elevator. Couldn’t have done it without the help of my taxi driver
