We had a superior double room 165 The room was a nice size, the bed had seen better days the mattress wasn’t great. The aircon was very good, the bathroom was interesting the shower curtain was way too long an the water didn’t drain away so to stop the bathroom flooding you would need to turn. The water off so it could drain. Breakfast was very basic, cereal,bread, pastries, hard boiled eggs, one type of salami and one type of sliced cheese, there was a selection of fruit apples/banana still/sparkling water squash juice like you used to get back in the 80’s if you ever played sports for a club. But also beer if you wanted it for breakfast, The pool I think is filled with spring salt water and the pools are emptied and clean on a Monday. You have to wear a hat in the pool or you get told off, if you don’t have one of your own you can get one from reception. They will charge you €3 each which we found out when we left and it was added to the room. The staff don’t speak much English if any, but they were pleasant enough. The location is amazing for this hotel as I have been to ischia a few times before. It’s close to the beach and shops there is a gelato shop which also does cake and coffee a couple minutes walk away the ice cream there was amazing I think it was called bouno cafe. A short walk up the hill you will find the best restaurant by far on the island called ristorante pizzeria il giardino. The pizza is great but the side dishes and meat are amazing and I mean amazing, I’ve been to lots of restaurants all over the world and this one was very well priced and the flavour of the food was wow! Trust me you will not be disappointed You could get a taxi up the hill but it’s not that bad of a walk maybe 10 minutes up the hill. We booked a table for 8:30pm most nights and it was quiet when we arrived and then busy when we would leave Anyway back to the hotel for the price you pay you can’t complain really, a few of the sun loungers have seen better days along with the cushions which they need more of. But it’s a third of the price of other hotels near by. We left ischia to go to minori we are here now. We got the ferry at 9:35am to naples you can get the tickets just up the road by the roundabout in the newsagents €20 each plus €2.10 per suitcase this was on the hydrofoil which only takes 1 hour to Naples Then a train from central to Salerno at 11:45am which was €23 in total first class for both of us and the suitcases only takes 30 minutes or so Then the boat from Salerno to minori with travelmar which was €17 in total including our suitcases for both of us. I would stay at this hotel again
