Hotel with a view, out of the Jungle..
Pros:

View across Naples to Mt Vesuvious are amazing. The heritage of this old convent is facinating, level 3 is like a museum.

Cons:

Franchement pas bien.
Pros:

La vue est impressionante. Les recoins de l'hotel, dans un ancien monastère, sont sympas. Mais bon...

Cons:

La cabine de douche style EPHAD...
La porte de la SDB qui se ferme pas...
Les portes qui claquent...
340€/nuit...
Quelques efforts pour arranger la situation, mais in fine, un "c'est l'esprit de l'hotel"...
Des voisins de petit déjeuner ont demander un jus d'orange préssé... 5€...
Franchement, j'aurais préféré payer plus pour avoir mieux.
J'aurais même pu avoir mieux en payant moins.
Les boules.

The Good, The great and The Gorgeous
Pros:

Honestly, what can I say? This place is a literal wonder of Naples. The views are so beautiful they’ll make you forget you just walked up 400 hills to get here. The rooms are stunning, and the staff? Absolute legends. Everyone had a smile on their face—which, in hindsight, might have been because of what they saw through my bathroom window. They were incredibly accommodating, and the restaurant food was so top-notch I’m still dreaming about the desserts especially The Macarons.
​The "Snag" (Or: The Unintentional Talent Show)
There was only one tiny, naked—I mean, minor—issue. Our bathroom lacked the traditional amenities known as "blinds" or "shutters."
​Now, look:
​If you’re an exhibitionist: Like myself and my partner, you’ll have a five-star stay! 10/10, would recommend for anyone looking to provide the locals with some free dinner theater.
​If you’re shy: If you aren’t keen on showing the neighborhood your "peek-a-boo" areas while you floss, this might not be the room for you.
​Pro Tip: If you see a crowd gathering in the street below with binoculars, they aren't looking at the sunset. They're looking at your skincare routine.
​Loved the stay, loved the service, and apparently, the city of Naples now loves my left hip. 10/10—will bring a cape next time.

Nápolyi kiránduláshoz azt hiszem, nehezen találni ennél jobb fekvésű és felszereltségű szállodát!
Pros:

A szálloda elhelyezkedése hibátlan, a kilátás az étkezőteraszról is fantasztikus, de a tetőkert...az egészen pazar!

Cons:

Hasznos lenne, ha a szobában is lenne tükör, nem csak a fürdőszobában, és a zuhanyzó panelre is ráférne egy csere.
