    The view from the room/balcony was onto another building of the back of the hotel. Room we were in was tighter than the ones shown in pictures.

    We requested an additional chair for the room. The staff assured us they would deliver one. Several hours later, the chair was delivered.

    Small room, sparsely furnished at the end of a dark corridor. Tiny lift. Did not think the value was there for the price. The good restaurant was pricey.

    Great location across the road from pompeii ruins. Long walk from station grab a taxi - just down the hill or take the bus. Clean room. Attached to popular and good restaurant. Friendly breakfast staff and a reasonably good breakfast.

    Great base for anyone in Pompei to visit the ruins. Friendly staff, but have dinner elsewhere

    • Superior Suite
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The hotel is currently undergoing some (local authority-mandated) repair/redecoration work on its facade, so our view of the Pompei site was almost totally obscured by scaffolding and construction screens. Not the hotel's fault, of course, but a little disappointing. Breakfast, in a cafeteria on the top (4th) floor is adequate but a bit restricted in fruit options. The hotel's restaurant service is provided by an independently run restaurant on the ground floor accessed from the lobby area. Its menu is a little unexciting and somewhat overpriced. Much better options available at some of the restaurants in the streets around the main square.

    Great location on the Via Plinio that runs along the south side of the archaeological site - about 15 minutes walk from the main Porta Marina entrance and less than 5 minutes from the entrance/exit at the eastern end near the amphitheatre. We had a large and comfortable superior suite room facing the street and looking out across to the site (but see below) and decorated with reproduction frescos from Pompei. Very easy walk to the main square (where the cathedral is) and where there are multiple restaurant choices in the nearby streets. Reasonably large and private, closed-gate parking area to the rear of the hotel.

    Hotel del sole was very convenient for visiting pompeii. Just across the road. The restaurant downstairs was great and the front reception girls were friendly and very helpful. The room was basic but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Train station an easy 20 min walk away

    See above.

    Ok, the hotel was nice, the staff were nice, the evening meal was nice, but for the love of god can someone tell Europeans how to make proper sausage/bacon/egg type breakfasts, powdered eggs!!!!!! Bacon which was so well done it clumped together to replicate the mass of a black hole, HOTDOG SAUSAGES are for hotdogs. However the rest was yummy. The pastries and such, the meats and cheeses and so on.

    We went out for the day and on our return we had an army of ants that had got into our room through a gap in the plaster next to to the window and had made a long line around the room wall to a bin we had left a packek of crisp in!! I went to reception, showed them the bag, and said we had cleaned up and killed the ants, i didnt get and apology but did get a can of ant killer 😅 The room was cleaned very well the next day so that we was grareful for.

    The sole is in a perfect location, the entrance to the Ruins is right across the street, to meet with tour kinds was just a short walk about 15minutes. Our twin room was smaller than expected, basic. But had what we needed, Staff were polite.

    Construction going on. Room was small and dated. We had a balcony which was nice but only 1 chair to sit on. Breakfast was decent and the restaurant manager was very pleasant and accommodating.

    Near the ruins and restaurants which was why we were here.

    This is going to sound really picky and I should have mentioned it when we were there but, the floors were not swept daily, the shower door seal was broken and the tray for the kettle did not have a plug close enough to use it safely.

    The hotel was excellently situated for the site of Pompeii but it is also close to both train stations which makes getting out and about really easy. The breakfast was amazing and always freshly prepared. The staff were only too happy to help with any request you had.

    The staff are wonderfully friendly and our bedroom was beautifully clean and comfortable as were the communal areas. Breakfast every morning had a great choice and some beautifully baked cakes, again we were welcomed by lovely staff. It was a little disappointing that our balcony had no chairs to sit on and was quite grubby due to scaffolding work being put up all over the hotel which we weren’t told about beforehand, as we chose a room with a balcony because we like to sit out of an evening it was a shame, also we were promised views of the ancient ruins and Vesuvius whereas we had views of scaffolding and trees, although you couldn’t get much closer to the ancient ruins. That being said I would definitely recommend this hotel or location, staff friendliness, cleanliness and location.

    Staff completely inflexible with check in/check out times, necessitating leaving our luggage unsecured while we did an early tour. Luggage had to be left in publicly visible and accessible area in busy lounge area with no checks over who took what. Breakfast was very basic, scrambled eggs revolting/rubbery Able to order a barista coffee which was a saving grace.

    Centrally located for visiting the world heritage site, easily walkable. Comfortable bed and good water pressure for shower. Spotlessly clean.
