    Due to poor insulation, noises from the street can disturb your sleep - I'd suggest bringing earplugs. Breakfast wasn't satisfactory for me. They had fresh apples, but no seasonal fruit. Croissants and bread weren't high quality either, and the choice was limited.

    The location is simply excellent, right across the Hercolaneum ruins, 8 mins from the station and the main attractions, super friendly and helpful staff - both the reception and in the breakfast room

    Due to the location of the hotel and being on the main road to the site, the road cleaners started early in the morning and weren't very quiet, even with the windows shut.

    Hotel location is right opposite Herculaneum site so ideal for location. We went out of season so the hotel was quite, breakfast was simple but perfect to fill up on before a day exploring. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved sitting out on the terrace of an evening with a beer, very lovely.

    car parking arrangements are good BUT stopping to drop off or pick up luggage outside the hotel is a nightmare. Its even a big challenge for taxis.....the hotel staff try to do their best to help but there is very little they can do.

    perfect location, good breakfast, really helpful staff.

    We arrived in the rain and had not seen, right at the bottom of the reviews, that the carpark was not on site! Parking was one of the icons in the facilities section, but did not mention that it was a good 10 minute walk away (unfortunately in the rain!) and €10 a night! Had we known that we would have looked at other places. The photos were very deceptive, I had expected a small garden area from the pictures, but it was a rooftop terrace, covered with fake plants! There was a very SLOW lift to the 1st floor and then stairs or change to another paying lift! We were on the 2nd floor, so if you find stairs difficult, check first where your room is! The room itself was decent, with a tiny balcony although we had trouble locking the french windows. Bathroom was good with a large shower, although the toilet flush was not the best!

    Check in went well, staff were very helpful. We were close to Herculaneum which we had never visited before. There was an interactive museum close by about the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD which was very interesting. Restaurants were easy to find and good value. Breakfast was good. We had to leave in the early hours of our last morning and the night porter was very good, giving advice on where we could park the car closer to the hotel for a few hours overnight and helping us with luggage - again. The airport was only 20 mins away and easy enough to get to.

    The street noise and traffic noise.

    The hotel is in an absolutely fantastic location as far as the ruins of Herculeaum, the station and the town of Ercolono. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's no getting away from the fact there's a degree of street noise, especially traffic.

    The mattress was very uncomfortable and leaned to one side.

    The staff were friendly. The hotel is conveniently Location right across the road from the ruins though it is a long uphill if you want to take the train from Ercolano Scavi station (about 6-7mins). The buffet was basic Italian style, but as was expected. There is a really nice balcony area but you must order drinks from reception (no staff at balcony).

    - The view through the window wasn’t like the one presented in the hotel description. - At the beginning safe wasn’t there. For a request the hotel staff brought it but it was broken 😅 - If you need to go somewhere before breakfast time, of course inform on the reception but most probably you will get only coffee (very tasty!) with things like cake or biscuit.

    The terrace was amazing, rooms were clean and receptionists were very, very helpful. Around 8 min to Ercolano Scavia train station. 20 min to the closest beach. Good base for the travels around.

    Nothing

    Ideal place to stay for visiting the historical site which is directly across the road. The room was comfortable and the added bonus was having a private balcony. The hotel also has a terrace in which you can use to chill out. The staff were very friendly and helpful with any of our queries. In particularly the young gentleman who worked the reception desk who directed us to the parking facility. The parking facility was also very convenient and reasonably priced. The staff at the breakfast buffet and cleaning staff were also very friendly.

    The trade off with the position opposite the entrance to Herculaneum was the traffic noise from the road immediately outside.

    It was a little noisy at night but was expected being so close to the high streets.

    Great location with Herculaneum archaeological site just across the road. The site was more enjoyable for us than Pompeii with two young children being a smaller site and more preserved. Other attractions nearby...the "Golden Mile" of Villas and Reggio Portici palace and botanical gardens. Two train stations within easy reach. We used the vesuvio express which leaves from near Ercolano train station to reach mount Vesuvius (great experience) The staff of the hotel were very friendly. Good range of food available for breakfast. Nice communal terrace.

    Minor gripes: The balcony and poor furniture - stools for sitting out were very disappointing. Air-conditioning good. The shower head (and another room's) were broken. Mine was fixed almost immediately after I had reported the problem to reception but the very next day, it was returned to its broken state. Sounds like they have a limited number of good ones they switch. Didn't like dragging my heavy case up the many flights of stairs whilst trying to keep up with the concierge. Turned out there is a lift from the first floor to the second. Didn't like the metal staircase external to the building. Couldn't see an alternative fire escape route.

    Location ideal. Room good. Great breakfast. Very helpful English speaking staff organised many things for me including a wonderful Amalfi boat trip at short notice and safely stored my luggage on the last day when I visited Herculaneum across the road.
