Hotel Sottovento

A bit of a hidden Gem, an old fashioned 4 star hotel with large balconies and views over the suburbs of Napoli and Vesuvio.

Nothing

Un hôtel qui aurait eu ses heures de gloires à une autre époque. Ce situe au milieu de nulle part. Eau non potable. Accueil digne d'un goulag. Établissement qui tombe en ruines.

When I arrived there was a demand for 40 euros even though I showed them the receipt been paid, this gone on for half hour. Breakfast I was not told on arrival, I only knew about it when I was about to leave . Alfoso is a nice man. The hotel is further 100 m on a single track road. The water not drinkable, for agriculture use, I have to ask for a bottle

The service was excellent very helpful and nice the staff

After initially telling me I would have to pay 40 euros to have my dogs stay in room . Agreement was made that they would stay in my van . Alfonso was a good host and made a generous breakfast in the morning. Grazie

The main advantage of the hotel is its very good price. The room is also quite nice and spacious. I also loved the view to the beautiful mountains. The young guy on the staff was really nice (the only one who spoke English). Air conditioning worked pretty well after they gave me the remote control to it after two days. I also liked the area right in front of the entrance - beautifully decorated. The breakfast was really modest, but I did not expect much more given the low price. The overall equipment of the hotel is all right, except the hotel sewage draining to the road. And the evening cold beer from the hotel bar is not bad at all!

The main problem was the chaotic organization and the person of the owner. They made a mistake when writing down the night of my arrival and then wanted to charge me one extra night. Also, I paid accommodation on day 1 and they wanted me to pay it again on the last day - total mismanagement. Nobody except one person spoke one word in English. There were also various mistakes in the service and cleaning, e.g. missing toilet paper. Everything is far from the hotel and you are a bit lost without a car. I did not mind walking 40 minutes to Angri train station which connected me with all the main sights. But infrastructure in the little town is horrendous - missing pavements, so you have to walk to the supermarket along a very narrow roadside. And to the train station you need to make a detour because half of the paths are blind/closed. But then you get to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Paestum or Amalfi and you quickly forget all these problems!

Troppo rumoroso,
