Hieno hotelli joka valikoitui loman viimeiseksi paikaksi näkymien ja historian vuoksi ja se kannatti
Pros:

Upeat näkymät Napolin ylle ja hotellin historia mielenkiintoinen.
Sijainti ei ole ytimessä mutta helpon kävelyn päässä espanjalaisista kortteleista(paljon portaita,en suosittele polviongelmaiselle).

Cons:

Aamupalalta odottaisin enemmän tämän tasoisessa hotellissa.
Näkymät toki upeat aamupalaterassilta.

Great Food, Great Views, Great People
Pros:

This hotel was amazing for my wife, Emily, and I! The breakfast came with the room. We are from America so it was better than anything we have had in any hotel in the States. Morning cappuccinos became a ritual. The rooms are also charming with their historical Italy aesthetic, Emily and I explored the other floors and there was art everywhere!! The best part though was the incredible service at the restaurant and the reception desk. Every single person working at the desk was extremely helpful with guides and logistics as to how to explore different places in Italy! The restaurant had some of the best Italian food in the city and every server there was very kind. The ingredients were so fresh, the view over the city was gorgeous, and the live piano played each night created a beautiful and romantic ambiance. Emily and I got so much joy getting to know each person. Not the mention the view…it can’t be beat!

A Palace in a Beautiful City
Pros:

I loved the wonderful service from everyone at the restaurant and the pool area was amazing. That view on the terrace is easy to get lost looking at. The location is top notch and I will always miss this wonderful place!

Cons:

I can’t think of anything bad at all.
