This hotel (located on Via Terracina) would be absolutely great, were it not for the unfortunate location. It was very clean, friendly staff, comfortable room with air conditioning, internet access, and a good breakfast. BUT... if you're looking to explore and see Naples, this hotel is not convenient. The nearest train station is not a bad walk during the day, but doesn't feel very safe at night. The hotel staff didn't give clear directions on getting around, so I would have had even more trouble had I not run into another english-speaking guest who was familiar with the local transportation options. As a woman traveling alone (never having been to Naples and not speaking much Italian), my options were either taking an expensive taxi from the city or trying to get back to the hotel early enough so as to feel safe walking on poorly lit streets from the train station. Even the nearest restaurant requires an unpleasant walk down a dark street littered with garbage and stray dogs... just didn't feel at all safe at night. It takes a good 30-45 minutes to make it into Naples from the hotel, and longer if your timing with the trains/bus is off. I might consider staying here again if I were traveling with other people. It is a good value for the price, but keep in mind that there is a tradeoff for location.
