Not so well known hotel, and Taxi driver had difficulties finding it. Tt was cold and rainy in Napoli and the (brand-new) room was very well heated. No view from the window, but because of the heavy rain, it was not a problem. Internet service is offered. However, not in a corner with PC and some privacy to read your e-mails, as it was only only possible at the front desk using the only PC of the reception, where they make the reservations...... and between two bookings...

After all: a nice and quiet place to stay (quiet only inside :-))for a short trip. You are not far from all visiters points: the harbor, circumvesuviana, the churches and last but not least: all those excellent museums !

Very nice hotel, newly rennovated, very clean, large rooms (even by american standards). Hotel is located in an "alley". Not very nice surrounings, however, Piazza Bovio is only 1 block away. Hard to find restaurant near hotel at night. But the quality of the hotel for the price was terrific and I will stay here again.

This hotel had been undergoing a long renovation when I booked it. It's in an alley near the university just off the main street. Our room was just being finished when we checked in and in fact they had to come and put finishing touches on after we checked in. They put us in a triple room on the 3rd floor over the entrance. The room was fabulous! Breakfast is served on a beautiful roof terrace, very well appointed. I cannot say enough good things about this place! My only comment would be to have someone working the desk that speaks some English and an English tv channel for news.

Cet hôtel est à recommander pour un séjour à Naples grâce à sa situation proche de la gare et du port ainsi que la sécurité du quartier: idéal pour les visites dans et hors de la ville. Le point négatif se situe plutôt du côté du personnel de l'accueil qui ne parle qu'italien, reste assez froid et préfère regarder la télévision plutôt que de chercher un renseignement. Le petit déj est moyen. Les femmes de ménage font par contre du très bon travail. L'impression générale reste très positive.

This one is difficult to review as Naples itself was very dirty and in fact, quite frightening. The hotel was in a particularly seedy part of the city but once we walked through the front doors we were in another world. It was beautifully renovated with loads of marble all around. Our rooms (3 singles) were all different and all big and beautiful,complete with air con. Breakfast left a lot to be desired - nothing much to choose from but at 60 Euros per room per night, we certainly weren't complaing. Staff were a bit offhand and not very helpful or welcoming but the beautiful suroundings made it more than worthwhile. I would certainly stay there again if ever I went back to Naples which I doubt I ever will as I didn't like the city.

The hotel is one of the best I have stayed at in Europe. It really is nice, and the owner is always kind and helpful. I beleive it is well rated (3 star), and the rooms are very big and clean.

The hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff were nice enough but I can speak Italian, if you don't you may struggle. Station is only 20 minutes walk away. You are at the bottom end of the 'Centro Storico' and also close to the castles in the bay, so location was a bonus. There are a couple of alternative live music bars on the same street as the hotel (invisible during the day but the street is full of their customers by night). Hotel was very good value for money and an ideal base for exploring Naples.

Easter Holiday, did not like Naples, too dirty, too noisy, arrogant waiters disrespectful of female tourist traveling alone. Capri was excellent, Pompeij very interesting. Not enough time to do the Amalfi coast. Albergo del Golfo was very clean, newly renovated, but situated in the port area (ugly).

The Hotel is on the edge of Naples city centre which makes it convenient for eating places and visiting the tourist attractions but far enough away from the noisy and busy parts of town. Rooms are comfortable,clean, big, and well furnished. Breakfast was good, fresh, nicely served and plenty of it. Eating on the terrace in November great fun for people from the north!

A good location as we could walk to the harbour the railway station and the museum, also we did not feel intimitated returning late at night. The room itself was large and very well kept but had absolutely no view from the window which was best kept closed, and the terrace for the disappointing breakfast is rather cold at this time of year.

Super Lage und sehr freundlicher Empfang. Sehr modern eingerichtet - zwar noch nicht alles fertig (wird gerade renoviert und es fehlen noch Kleinigkeiten überall), es wird aber sicher super schön! Vom Frühstück darf man sich nichts erwarten, gleich in der Nähe gibt es aber einen kl. Laden, in dem man sich auch Wurst und Käse kaufen kann. Sehr nett ist allerdings die schöne Terrasse auf der das Frühstück serviert wird ! Sollte ich wieder mal nach Neapel kommen, würde ich dieses Hotel jederzeit wieder auswählen.

piu' giusto forse quotarlo 2 stelle anzichè 3, hotel pulito ma un po' spartano, il parcheggio non c'è e quello convenzionato costa ben 18 euro!!! Ottima posizione centrale, dintorni un pò degradati (tipico per Napoli). Personale molto cortese e disponibile. Probably more a 2 stars than a 3. Hotel clean but rooms a little poors. No parking, the nearest costs 18 euros if are coming from the hotel. Very good position (central) but neighborood a little nasty (quite common in Napoli). Staff very friendly!

The hotel was newly renovated and it was properly done. It is very nice. The little terrace for the breakfast area was so nice. The only thing is the personal, except one, didn't speak any English. It was hard to get any information from them. Also, in the website, it was mentioned (from what I remember) that the beach was 3 minutes away. The one in Napoli (rock beach) is really about 15 minutes away by foot and the sand beach is in Sorrento. Besides that, I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in the historical center, close to the harbour (5 minutes on foot, 10 with a heavy suitcase), in a safe area of Naples (if there is such a thing...!). Just kidding, of course. Still, it's far enough from the railway station and Garibaldi square (meeting place of the junkies at night), so that one can come back late at night without fear. Rooms are extremely simple (there was nothing my restless toddler could destroy). It's not the best place to spend time inside but it's perfect for resting after long visits to the city: as it is near a busy circus, but just behind the large street, it is centrally located and still quiet (except for some contstruction work in a nearby building, but that is temporary). Very nice breakfast terrace. Wonderful staff, very open and communicative, ready to help with everything, including indications/reservations of budget restaurants.

It is a good hotel for Napoli. As facade is not refurbished, first impression from the street was a little scary, but the inside renovated is ok. Very quiet atmosphere, maybe at our visit the hotel was quite empty.

Albergo del Golfo in the heart of Naples' Vecchia Città (old city) is a great place to get to know and discover Naples! It is a modern and recently renovated hotel that even offers a good breakfast (a bit unusual in Italy!). Accommodations are all great, the rooms are spacious and equipped with air conditioning and the bathroom is brandnew. The hotel is centrally located which means you can visit lots of places on foot (Vecchia Città, Naples harbour from where you can take the boat to one of the islands, St. Lucia,...). We enjoyed our stay at Albergo del Golfo a lot and can recommend it to anyone!

Très bon rapport qualité/prix (80 euros la chambre double, petits déjeuners compris, début juin 2006). Excellent emplacement à 10/15 minutes à pied du port Beverello, de la vieille ville (Spaccanapoli et Décumanus majeur), de la via Toledo (rue commerçante) ou de la galerie Umberto I. Petit déjeuner très correct (mais pas de fruit ou de céréales...) pris sur une terrasse plantée de cycas et autres palmiers en pots au 3ème étage de l'hôtel : très agréable ! Seules critiques : un veilleur de nuit pas aimable et des employés à la réception qui ne parlent ni anglais, ni français.

Sorry but it's easier for me to write in french. Lors de nos échanges pour la réservation d'une chambre, nous avions fortement insisté sur le fait que nous souhaitions disposer d'un parking pour la voiture. Or, à l'arrivée, la personne à la réception (qui ne parlait malheureusement ni le français ni l'anglais) nous a fait comprendre qu'il n'y avait aucun stationnement à cet hôtel. Nous avons mis 2 heures à nous trouver un espace pour notre séjour. Disons que l'expérience fut très éprouvante dans une ville comme Naples! Gina nous avait pourtant confirmé que nous pourrions bénéficier d'un parking en nous indiquant même un ordre de grandeur pour les coûts. Nous avons écourté d'une nuit notre séjour dans cette ville. À signaler que le personnel n'est pas particulièrement accueillant et ce n'est pas une question de langue.

Etablissement en réfection mais malgré tout très calme. Par contre problème de garage à 10 minutes à pieds et payant (18 € la nuit). Cet hotel est introuvable par soi-même. Heureusement que les Napolitains sont très serviables. Je déconseille d'arriver en voiture à Naples (circulation impossible).

Our room was large and beautiful, unfortunately it wasn't finished. The hotel is still undergoing renovations and we had wires sticking out of the wall and ceiling for fixtures that weren't in yet. The bathroom had no toilet paper holder, soap dish, or shower door. The floor would get soaked whenever you showered. The site says multilingual staff, but English isn't one of their languages. I knew at least enough to get checked in. Would have been nice to have been told about breakfast, fortunately I asked the next morning and found out. There was tremendous noise from the renovation when we first arrived, but they were considerate enough to not start early in the morning. When finished this place will be great, although the neighborhood is typical Naples and doesn't look the best.

Excellent rapport prix-qualité. Chambre spacieuse et propre, hôtel très bien situé dans Naples, proche de tout. Il est pour le moment en rénovation, donc la salle de petit-déjeuner est pour le moment trop petite mais cela n'a pas été gênant en cette période de l'année (octobre). Une adresse à retenir en espérant que les prix n'augmenteront pas trop une fois la rénovation terminée.

Externally the hotel looks like much of Naples - not very inviting. But internally it is great value fro money. The owners are in the course of refurbishment and the room we had was excellent. Clean spacious and contempory. It and the bathroom were far larger than is normally the case for hotels of this standard. The only minor criticism is the breakfast room is small with only 3 tables. This may be of reduced size whilst the refurbishment is being carried out but it could be a problem at busy times

Excellent hotel. Clean, spacious and comfortable bed and rooms. The room was so nice that we opted to go back to the hotel every day between 2-4pm to hide away from the sun rather than going to a coffeebar. Location was great, very close to sightseeing areas and supermarkets nearby. I really enjoyed the area of the hotel, very local, very non-touristic. The people living next to the hotel were friendly and we did not feel unsafe when walking in the street.

Excellentes prestations. Chambres hyper-spacieuses et très luxueuses. On peut regretter que la clim soit coupée avec l'alimentation électrique générale lorsque l'on quitte la chambre. Coin petit déjeuner trop petit. On attend parfois son tour. abords un peu glauques mais on est tout près du centre historique. Adresse à recommander absolument.
