I wonder who wants to destroy this structure. Various reviews I've read give it a terrible rating but my experience was anything but. I was on an educational trip with two colleagues and 33 high school students. The experience was very good, firstly for the welcome and attention shown by all the staff. We had students with food allergies, even very specific ones, with foods that had to be prepared separately, which were particularly looked after by the maitre d' and waiters. The rooms were spacious and of a good standard, the cleanliness was excellent, the food was very good and plentiful. In short, one wonders how it is possible that someone had a bad experience in this hotel which is certainly not in the center of Naples nor in a particularly attractive but convenient area if one wants to go both to Naples and to other places in the province, quiet and silent, despite the express road that passes nearby. Furthermore, by bringing minors, the area appears particularly safe and without dangers of any kind. Absolutely recommended.

We have visited this hotel before, a few years ago, a lot has changed, it has been extended and has an extra pool to the rear, meaning there were two to choose from, both the pools were beautiful, we preferred the back pool as you didn't get the road noise, and sadly for two days this was not available to us as there was a private party one day and the next day was having a treatment of some sort, not terrible as we had use of the pool at the front, the staff are very friendly, parking was easy, the bar was relaxing, the room was comfortable, complete with very nice shampoo and gels etc, the mini bar was included and offered Coke, water and a couple of soft drinks, breakfast was nice, would have liked a toaster for the bread. A recommendation, the petrol station across the way has a great bar/coffee area, with lovely local snacks. Essenza Del Gusto restaurant a couple of minutes walk turning left out of the hotel is really excellent! Highly recommended if you are in the area.

I stayed at this hotel during a short holiday and we were delighted when we found it online as it was between Naples city and places like Salerno and amalfi. They advertise that they have shuttles going from the hotel to the airport, unfortunately by this they meant they would organise a taxi for you and this is where we experienced problems. We ended up having to get a 15 minute taxi from a nearby train station to the hotel which cost us €60. The taxi driver would not speak directly to us and told us we would have to book through the hotel. Trying to get anywhere was a nightmare as they told us the closest train station was far too long away to walk to and that we would have no choice but to get taxis. We were quoted €130 for a one way taxi to a neighbouring town. We decided to have a look online and found that that there was a train station 30 minutes walk away (s.vitaliano train station) where we could get a train to Nola and from there be able to get a train to almost anywhere. I was disappointed that the hotel had chosen not to mention this and couldn’t help but feel they were taking advantage of the fact we were unfamiliar with our surroundings to allow local taxis to charge us ridiculously high rates. I am not writing this review just to complain about the hotel but to advice any future guests that it is possible to get a train from close by to save them hassle and money. Besides this issue the hotel was nice. It was very clean and the cleaning staff that we ran into on our second day were absolutely lovely. The restaurant staff were also lovely. The staff at front of desk were helpful at times but also came across as cold and uninterested at other times. Overall, if we had been given the correct info in regards to travel I would have given the hotel a 4/5 but unfortunately that was not the case.
