Hotel Ideal

“Hotel Ideal City Walk.. recommended”

A perfect place to stay while tasting Naples, at one side of the main train station, clean and well keeped rooms, excellent breakfast served by the friendly Tina, reception staff well prepared as well as the houskeeping team

“Great value for money and location”

The hotel was great value for money. We paid £57 for one night in Naples for May. The hotel was spotless and the staff were friendly.

The hotel was great value for money. We paid £57 for one night in Naples for May. The hotel was spotless and the staff were friendly. The location is fantastic, right across from the train station and a 15 minute walk into the centre of Naples. The only criticism is that the rooms are not very sound proof. I could hear the man on the telephone until 11pm in the next room. Consider adding draught excluders to the bottom of the doors or something to block the noise and I wouldn’t be able to fault it.

“Centrally located. Be positive:)”

Great central location directly across from Garibaldi station providing easy access to Pompeii and Sorrento. The room was compact but well appointed for 2 with the bonus of an inside balcony.

Great central location directly across from Garibaldi station providing easy access to Pompeii and Sorrento. The room was compact but well appointed for 2 with the bonus of an inside balcony. Whole the amenities are a bit ltd.the staff made up for it with their attentiveness, finding me a needle and thread to patch my day rucksack, lol.some of the movie channels can be converted to English, breakfast was ltd. But they put in a good effort. All rooms are on the 1st floor likely due to renovations as there's no lift.overall affordable and would happily stay here again.

“Ideally situated but not the best area. With a few minor tweaks it could be even better than average.”

The location really is ‘ideal’ in terms of the main train station being directly outside so you only have to walk two minutes across the road and you have your trains to Pompeii, Herculaneum and wherever else you need to go.

The location really is ‘ideal’ in terms of the main train station being directly outside so you only have to walk two minutes across the road and you have your trains to Pompeii, Herculaneum and wherever else you need to go. The actual area isn’t the best as you will hear from anyone who visits Napoli… When we first arrived on a Saturday evening, I felt as though I had walked into a third world country and I found it fairly terrifying. Lots of homeless people, human faeces and urine all over the ground, armed soldiers in tanks outside the station which is… something and you honestly need a good life insurance policy to cross the roads here. I didn’t feel particularly safe walking through the area in the evening so tried not to do that and returned to the hotel before it got dark. The hotel itself is clean and very basic with comfortable beds and a decent shower. I wouldn’t stay here if you’re someone who likes to spend a long time in the hotel because you’d be quite bored… It’s the sort of hotel you only stay in for somewhere to wash and sleep. The television in the room was glitchy so I couldn’t watch olympics highlights in the evening. The WiFi was sporadic and quite slow. There is no kettle and coffee in the room which is something I haven’t personally come across whilst travelling before so that’s something I feel they need to add. There is aircon in the room but it doesn’t seem to work very well so you need to use the fan 24/7 but it is in such a noisy area (traffic, horns beeping, sirens etc 24/7) I actually recommend having the fan on full blast to act as white noise and blur it out. The only irritating noise was other guests closing their room doors during the night which woke us up a few times because it’s very loud even with the fan. The street it is on has a bakery and coffee shop, pharmacy and a couple of restaurants but weirdly no supermarket. We used the Conad supermarket in the train station, it seemed to be the best priced in Napoli and closest to the hotel. The bookstore in the train station has a good selection of English books if you’re in need of a way to pass the time in the evening since the television doesn’t seem to work! With a few tweaks such as functioning aircon and WiFi and a kettle and coffee in the room, I feel this would be an even better hotel but it is adequate as a place to sleep.
