Culture Hotel Villa Capodimonte

The narrow streets around the hotel are the one drawback, but the views and food make up for it. The rooms are quaint and nice, and the staff were helpful and polite. We enjoyed Italy so much on our first visit, and would definitely come back.

I was unsure at first because of the mixed reviews, but I’m really glad I chose this place. Service was more than four stars, and security and parking convenience were top class, which matters a lot in Napoli. Dinner at the restaurant was very nice, and so was breakfast in the separate hall. I liked the wood floor in my room. I don’t understand the complaints about old facilities. I’ll definitely return.

One thing we only realized after arriving is that the hotel sits at the very top of a mountain. That’s how it gets the views in the photos, but it’s not easy to get there. We chose it because it looked close to the train station and thought we could walk, not realizing the entire

The nighttime view of Naples is superb, and the staff are friendly. You’ll need transport to get places quickly, like Castel Nuovo or the Naples Underground Tour, which we visited. Walking downhill through the tight streets can get you to Museo metro station, which serves most attractions. Be sure to take the Garibaldi route, not Piscinola. Cavour station isn’t the train station that takes you downtown. It’s a great hotel if you don’t mind the slippery, squeaky floors in the lobby and possibly your room.
