- View (this is absolutely spectacular and there are ample gardens and terraces to make the most of it). - The staff. The staff were superb, they bent over backwards to provide us and our Nonna (who needs assistance to walk) with every help available. They spoke excellent english and the hotel provides a free shuttle service to the local town or train station within certain times. I can't praise the staff enough. When we first arrived, dishevelled and drenched in sweat they provided us with a free cold beer and water! - Decent price. Considering the location (Castellammare di Stabia is a nice little town without the grime of naples or the tourists of Sorrento or Amalfi). - The rooms. The rooms were not perfect as they were generally basic and we did have an issue with the lock in ours but, really, I think if you're going away to sit in a hotel all the time you should probably just stay at home anyway. As such, the rooms were clean, they were well conditioned temperature wise with individual units, the beds were ok and they had a desk and plenty of space. Room maids came every day. The only thing i'd say is maybe a TV in the rooms wouldn't go a miss? - Location. Not the most accessible but as already mentioned, the hotel will provide a free taxi. - General appearance. The hotel does look a bit like some sort of soviet era complex used by a school or university but truly, don't let this put you off. - Food/Breakfast. The food and breakfast in the restaurant are ok at best. They're ample and for 15 euro you do get a 3 course meal. We didn't particularly think ours was worth 15euro because we could go down the hill and get 3 pizzas for the same price whereas here we got half a melon, a small bowl of pasta and a little bit of meat & potato - definitely not worth the 15euro. Additional services. There is a bar/tuck shop which was nice, especially as we had some younger members to our party who liked a beer or some sweets. I would recommend staying here as a guest. To the hotel themselves, i'd suggest you cut 5 euro off the meal price (or offer more food) and keep the shuttle running until 10pm. Also - swimming pool or hot tub.

“Authentic experience with a view.”

I stayed here with my daughter on a trip with her school. It is an authentic Italian experience. Our room did not have AC, unlike what the listing states. Our beds were very old metal spring cots.

I stayed here with my daughter on a trip with her school. It is an authentic Italian experience. Our room did not have AC, unlike what the listing states. Our beds were very old metal spring cots. They were extremely uncomfortable but we slept, likely because we were at the end of our trip and were completely exhausted. The pillows were very flat, much like our entire experience in Italy, however what stuffing there was, it was bulging out of it's casing. What did I like? The view. The water pressure. Working electrical outlets. Cold Pepsi in the lobby bodega.
