From the time we arrived until the time we left the Ranch Palace staff treated us as important and special guests. They made us welcome and gave us lifts to the nearest metro station and picked us up with no additional cost. They even arranged a superb transfer back to the airport and took us out to some local attractions. The hotel restaurant served authentic local Neapolitan cuisine and attracted local clientele - a measure of its quality and value.
Our room was in fact a mini-suite with air conditioned rooms. The sepearate lounge had a comfortable sofa, wide screen LCD televison and internet connection. The rooms were impeccably cleaned with regular and frequent changes to towels amd bedding.
The hotel is out of central Napoli but for travellers willing to use the efficient metro, funiculars and local trains this is not a problem - in fact the traffic in Napoli is so dense the alternative forms of travel are far more efficient.
The hotel is undergoing some renovation work so the initial visual impression is not great but this is soon overcome when in the main part of the hotel. The refurbishments and opening of a pool next year will further enhance what is already and excellent hotel.
Overall the lasting impression of our stay at the Ranch Palace was highly positive and as a regular visitor to Napoli I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
