My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Villa Medici as part of our honeymoon (a self-directed driving trip around Italy). The good points included excellent service, a complimentary bottle of champagne in our room to celebrate our honeymoon, a clean and comfortable (although older renovation) apartment suite, good water pressure in the shower, two small flat-screen TVs one with DVD player, secure off-street parking, and close proximity to the train station. The bad points included the hotel's location on a busy run-down street in a less-than-picturesque neighbourhood, and a strong smell of smoke in our room when we arrived. Occassionally we could feel the rumble of a passing train, but noise was not really an issue, especially when we closed the automatic window shutters at night. There were a number of broken light bulbs in our room, although I'm sure if we had actually mentioned this to reception they would have fixed it promptly. The reception staff we dealt with spoke English quite well and were very friendly. They helped us with driving and walking directions, and went to a great deal of trouble to assist us in ordering pizza over the phone from a local take-away, which they arranged to have delivered direct to our room (it was delicious!). We used the hotel as a base for travel in and around Naples (including driving the Amalfi coast), and it was sufficient for this purpose, although traffic around the hotel and the surrounding area was chaotic, and the train stations near the hotel were dark and dirty. As a side note, we found Naples to be a grotty city surrounded by lots and lots of slummy apartment buildings (Rome, Venice and Florence are MUCH nicer cities). Naples was definitely the low point of our trip, and I would not reccommend going there if you're on a romantic holiday (you would be better off staying somewhere along the Amalfi coast, its amazing!). But, if you must go to Naples, staying at the Hotel Villa Medici would be a good choice.

stayed at the hotel villa medici in naples from the 25th july 2008 until 1st of august 2008. both myself and my husband found the hotel really nice. we received a warm welcome on arrival. the hotel was very clean and rooms were cleaned daily. The swimming pool was lovely and relaxing and never crowded. The breakfast was basic but nice.The area was a bit run down,and there wasn,t much to do in the evenings,although the metro was close by. If we were going to naples again iwould recommend this hotel.

I spent 8 days in the Villa Medici from 18-26 October. Very nice little hotel, convenient to the train to downtown (9 mins ride). I occupied the junior suite and lots of room in this two story loft type room with bedroom upstairs in the loft. Spacious private patio that seated 7 or 8. Typical Italian breakfast, heavy on bread, sugar, and caffeine.

Excellent bargain, very nice staff, free internet access in the rooms, and convenient location made it a super stay.

We just wanted to say thank you for the great week we spent at Villa Medici beginning of February. The hotel is splendid, the rooms very comfortable and the service excellent. We also were touched by your offering a bottle of wine for Tony's birthday.

You have all been very helpful during our stay and helped make our holiday the more pleasant. We have enjoyed visiting Napoli very much and will definately stay at your hotel next time we visit Napoli.

Grazie mille.
