Hotel La Pace

“Certainly doesn’t deserve it’s reputation, but maybe a few downsides.”

I’m not the type of traveller who usually goes for hotels, (outside of the pandemic I’m usually one for hostels), so perhaps this is why I disagree so strongly with the negative reviews here.

I’m not the type of traveller who usually goes for hotels, (outside of the pandemic I’m usually one for hostels), so perhaps this is why I disagree so strongly with the negative reviews here. The hotel isn’t in the best location, no, but outside of really late night (and I mean after 1am), it’s in a busy enough area that I didn’t have to worry, perhaps this would be different if you were a woman travelling alone, but it wasn’t a big problem for me. I would advise, as in all cities in the world, to try not to look like an obvious tourist and refrain from looking at google maps obviously on the street, but petty crime is just as much of a problem in other parts of the city and in my opinion much of the bad reputation surrounding this area comes from its high prevalence of ethnic minority Italians which is more based in racism than reality. My room had an interior view, which wasn’t great, and yes there were marks in the bathroom which had clearly been there some time. Despite all of this though, the hotel offers air con, a comfortable bed, and is very close to the train station which gives great access to Pompeii and Herculaneum. More than anything I was touched by just how kind the staff were, one girl in particular, Katia, was so incredibly kind and spoke amazing English, and she gave great tips about the area. In particular her advice was very useful, and it was lovely to have a friendly face in the city while travelling. Cleaning service was offered daily and plenty of towels were provided. I do see why people disagree with the three star rating, but for the price the hotel is more than sufficient and offers a good standard of accommodation.

“Nice hotel but outdated”

We stayed at this hotel from 6th to 9th October 2019. The hotel reception was very clean & spotless. Got a front view large bedroom with clean towels daily. Lift too small & only cater for 2 people.

We stayed at this hotel from 6th to 9th October 2019. The hotel reception was very clean & spotless. Got a front view large bedroom with clean towels daily. Lift too small & only cater for 2 people. Canteen down the lobby & no lift only steps. Not suitable for mobility & people with disability. Breakfast is poor only croissants, tea/coffee/ cereals. No hot food. No fruits. Location is good only 10/15mins walk to Napoli Train Central & underground trains. Napoli is dirty & old BUT I love the graffiti everywhere including trains. Will go back again
