Hotels Near Fontana della Marinella in Naples

My wife and I decided to stay at the The Five Rooms for three reasons. First, we wanted to be at a place that was local rather than one that was part of a larger hotel chain. Second, it was located next to Garibaldi Station, which is where we easily could get a train to Pompeii or the subway. Finally, it got excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately, our stay was not as enjoyable as it was for others. Let me start with finding the place, which was a challenge for us as it was for others who have reviewed this place. I had mapped out directions to the hotel, and Alfredo - one of the hosts - sent me a map as well. If you are heading from Garibaldi station, go past (or through) the Piazza Garibaldi; you will see, just past the end of the Piazza, a building with two large gray doors. On the side of those doors, you will see a sign for The Five Rooms. On the right side will be an electric numerical panel. I believe the number one presses for The Five Rooms is 10. Press those numbers, and you will be let in. Next, there is the elevator. Be aware that it is tiny. My wife and I, as well as our two suitcases, barely fit into it. I read that you will need 10 cents (Euros) to use the elevator. That is true if the time is between (I believe) 8 am and 7 pm. After 7 pm, it is free. Take the elevator to the fourth floor, and that is where you will find the hotel. Alfredo helped my wife and me get to the hotel via WhatsApp and met us upon our arrival. The room itself was nice, with a king-sized bed and a huge bathroom, including a very large shower. As I read in other reviews, the breakfast is nice, but not substantial. There are fruits, breads, yogurts, cereals, and juices. If you want milk, you will need to ask for it. You can also ask for coffee, cappuccino, or tea. As others have written, the area where the hotel is located is sketchy. From what I read, Naples has received an unfair reputation for being unsafe. I can't say if that reputation is true or not, but as my wife and I headed through the square next to the hotel to one of the nearby restaurants, we were extra vigilant. My biggest complaint has to do with the service. I agree with those who commented that oftentimes - especially after the morning - no one is at the front desk. But my complaints go beyond that. Upon our arrival, Alfredo showed us the room, and my wife immediately noticed one of the lights in the bathroom was flickering. She brought it to his attention, and he said he would have it fixed within a day or two. (It was not fixed.) More disconcerting, however, was what happened after our first night. My wife wanted to have an extra blanket for the room, as she had been cold (despite me changing the temperature in the room). I looked in the closet, and all that was there was a mattress cover. When we arrived, Alfredo said that if my wife and I needed anything, feel free to contact him. So after spending the day in Naples, I sent Alfredo a WhatsApp message at 6:30 pm askin

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights during a visit to Naples. The location is very convenient, walking distance from the old city and next to the underground and train station. The building has been very tastefully refurbished, the rooms were clean and breakfast lovely. There is an amazing roof terrace to grab a drink or dine, with beautiful plants and a wonderful view! A special mention for the staff: everybody was attentive, friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay and will come back if we have the chance.

The bed is super comfortable, the breakfast is great and it's nice having a little balcony. Trip.com says the room has a kettle but it doesn't. In the winter it would be nice to have a kettle as well as slippers to walk on the cold marble floor, especially since I can't control the heat as it's controlled by the front desk. The front desk staff are very helpful with ordering taxis with flat rates so you won't get cheated.

To begin with, the person at the reception was a RUDE, aggressive woman. Her attitude was that she was doing us a favour by letting us stay in the hotel. She mans the breakfast counter too..Be prepared to encounter her BAD attitude there too. Breakfast is just some breads, cereals and beverages. No fruit or eggs or cold cuts. Linen is reasonably clean and towels are changed everyday. It could be a good hotel if the management was positive and welcoming of tourists. Would not recommend at all.

The bar to have drinks in the evening is filthy, dirty table linens that are not linens, had marks that has been used and spilt drinks or food. The chairs and table feels and looks dirty, we took our drinks in our room instead. The breakfast has no cooked food just hard boiled eggs, bread are hard, people have to queue to wait to be served by 1 waiter, you cannot take from the table, waiter has to serve even coffee. It’s scary around the hotel, police are always there, dodgy shops around. Stay nearby or at hotels around Ovo Castle. It’s too dirty aroung Gibraldi station where this hotel is located.

Couples visit to Naples. Location - Good location just by the main train station (you can get Alibis straight from airport) with excellent transport links into main area of Naples via the Metro and beyond to Pompeii / Sorento etc. The immediate vicinity is a little rough but you can access the Hotel straight through the station so you don’t need to walk the local streets if you don’t want to. Head to baggage drop area in the station and continue on and take a right and it is signposted. Service - Good. Quick and straightforward. Checking in was literally 5 minutes if that and check out was 2 minutes. Staff friendly and polite. Hotel reception - clean tidy and modern. Hotel room - Superior double with a balcony. The room was clean and tidy and modern. Small TV, small mini fridge. Kettle with Tea included (no coffee tho) bathroom was clean and tidy. Bed a little hard and air-con stopped working during stay on the last night. Food - didn’t have the breakfast as couldn’t be bothered but had the breakfast room on the Sunday and it was good enough for a small bite. Would we visit the hotel again or recommend - it’s good value for money and once you know how to use Metro etc it’s a decent base for a really good price. Expect 3 star standard and you will be happy.

We stayed at HG boutique hotel Toledo with 2 persons in the end of June 2022. The check in went smooth and was at a separate reception location, about 10 min walk from the actual hotel. They offered to bring us to the hotel by car, but we chose to walk. The hotel was located in the middle of the city centre, which was very nice! The room was clean, with a nice big bathroom and balcony overlooking the centre. Check out was very easy, as we only had to leave the keys in a basket. Overall we were very happy with the experience staying at HG boutique hotel Toledo!

Very nice hotel located along the water. Balconies face the waterfront with a couple chairs and a table on each balcony. Large, well-appointed rooms. Huge breakfast buffet with waitstaff available to get specialty coffee drinks made to order. Large hotel that often has conferences, so reception area can be very busy. Reception staff not very friendly, but breakfast staff were very helpful. Easy walk to restaurants.

We absolutely loved our stay here and didn’t want to come home. Like many other guests we were staying as a family group, visiting relatives in Marigliano so it was a great base. It would also make a fantastic stopping off point for anyone driving through Italy, away from the more touristy parts of Naples. Hotel, grounds and pools are absolutely stunning and so well maintained. I don’t think the staff ever stopped working to keep everything looking perfect. Staff were so warm and helpful and we felt well looked after. Breakfast was very generous and the bar reasonably priced with a good selection of brands. We particularly enjoyed the wine selection. Shuttle was €80 into Naples and a non hotel taxi €50 -€70 to the airport
