This is a good hotel to stay in if visiting Naples for work, but not for holidays - it has no view as such, and is a functional building and neighbourhood rather than stylish and historic. That said, step out onto the street, and you are straight away enveloped by the buzz of Vespas and the chattering of young people. The breakfasts are excellent - you can hack great lumps out of a wedge of Parmesan cheese, the coffee is made to order, and the pastries, rolls and conserves are lovely. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very nice, though it may take you a while to figure out all the light switches. The Chiaia neighbourhood has a safe and fairly prosperous air to it. The 'Mr Pig' pizza, panino and croissant takeaway next to the hotel is highly recommended. If you want a full meal at lunch or in the evening, the informal and friendly Mattozzi pizzeria on Via Filangieri, which is about five minutes walk from the hotel, will provide seemingly limitless supplies of fried courgette flowers and mozzarella, wonderful bubbly and slightly burnt pizzas, desserts, and liquors.
