Naples Hotel Guide - Spire of San Gennaro hotels in Naples, Italy.

"There are many positives and very few negatives, but the negatives far tip the balance of the overall value and feeling we had. My wife and I flew into Milan for 8-days where we already had a nice hotel booked and paid for, however due to poor weather we decided to take a high-speed train to Naples for 2-nights. We had checked into our hotel in Milan, it was nice and very much had working air conditioning. Upon checking into our room in Naples we had NO working air conditioning. We called the front desk where I was expecting an explanation about how the local laws prevent the use of air conditioning in public spaces, but instead was told "we see the air is on and working". I confirmed it is indeed one, but NOT working. They said "WE WILL LOOK INTO IT TOMORROW".... which they never did. We didn't even need air conditioning, we just needed circulation of air as the room gets hot and stuffy without air moving around the room. SO the solution? Well what we thought was a window was not, but rather a shared balcony with the next door room. We were able to open our door to allow cool air to come into the room which was fine that first night, but the second night was a MAJOR problem. The second night the noise never ended outside--partying, loud cars, SMOKING. Finally at 2am, we angrily got up to close the door. We did not sleep much at all. We will NEVER stay at this hotel again, no matter how friendly the staff was, how good the breakfast was, etc. NOT acceptable!"

"Room was small but clean, did get warm and had to call the desk to adjust the temperature. Some fixtures loose. Staff very accommodating. Rooftop terrace and dining was fantastic!"

"Very nice spot to stay. Very easy to find when you know the road it’s on. Big open windows for air flow. Rooms very nice. Close to the train station and tons of places to eat."

"Grear room, excellent helpful staff. Servicing and cleaning of the room was exceptional. Location of the hotel could not be better. Well done to everyone. A couple of gripes though. The roof swimming pool does not open until June 1st. Disappointing for those that like cold water swimming. There is the sea of course but not really suitable close to the hotel. I thought the breakfast was disappointing. The fruit salad seemed to consist of only tinned peaches and lots of pineapple (even in the mixed fruit choice) There was only full fat (UHT) milk or soya (I think?) No skimmed or semi skimmed. The bread choice was disappointing. I cannot comment on the choice in the cooked breakfast as I (despite being British) do not eat them. The staff at breakfast were excellent and very attentive. Well done. Wouls I stay at the hotel again? Yes certainly."

"Perfect location not far from the train station. We used the hotel as a hub for visiting Naples, Pompei and Sorrento. Hotel was excellent, breakfast was great would highly recommend booking this as there was a lot of choice. The rooms are spacious, clean and modern. There is an excellent gym that is has a lot of amenities which was also great for us. 10/10"

"Staff are friendly."

"The room was very spacious and had everything we needed. The property is located in the middle of everything. The staff is exceptional friendly and helpful."

"Excellent hotel and easy access to the train station. The hotel has an amazing breakfast. The area around hotel has decent food but when in central Napoli there is better."

"Very nice and polite staff. Convenient location, but no public transportation in close proximity. Good breakfast, but served in a very dark, small, and gloomy room. Amazing shower, but very sleepery floor. A lot of steps to get into hotel, no banisters, nobody offered help with a luggage. In front of the hotel are 4-5 benches where constantly are sitting very strange people. They look like bomges or alcoholics. Some of them eating, drinking alcohol, and smoking weed. Do not even think to walk from the train station to the hotel!  Half of the way you are going through big groups of an immigrants who does not look very friendly and asking for money or trying to sell you something.  Taxi should not cost you more than 15 euro. If drivers ask for more -negoshiate."
