Soggiorno Museo

I spent a long-weekend in Naples in this hotel and found it very reasonably priced and well-placed for getting to and from the main sights of the City. The hotel is close to 'Museo' metro line and several bus stops - although, personally, I preferred to walk from here to get a better feel for the area - it's about 25 minutes walk to the main Port and there are lots of interesting points on the way (Capella Sansevero, 'Sorbello' Pizzariea and 'Gay Odin' Gelaterie were some of my favourites!). Initially a little tricky to find - I walked the length of the Salvador Rosa, looking for a sign for the B&B, only to find it was unsignposted at the very beginning of the hill (if you just look for the street number given on the address, you'll find it without any trouble). The room was very spacious, with a large double/king bed, wardrobe, ensuite and a large table by the window. The double-shuttered window was effective in blocking noise from the somewhat busy street it overlooked. Breakfast was brought to the room on a tray in the morning, at a time of your choosing, and could be eaten at the large table; breakfasts were relatively simple (croissant, coffee and juice) but very good. The staff were very helpful - they asked about our plans for the weekend and offered some tips. They were also very accommodating when we arrived earlier than the advised check-in time and when we asked to leave bags for a few hours after check-out. They loaned us an umbrella on a rainy day too! Overall, I think this hotel was friendly, good value and well-placed for a short vacation to Naples.
