Hercules House - Il riposo degli Eroi

Spcious and comfortable apartment close to the train station and historic ruins of Herculaneum. Owner Marie is a lovely and kind person, very helpful.

Great comfortable bed. A pleasant responsive host. There is a delicious pizzeria next to the apartment. The room was quite spacious.

There are not enough dishes in the kitchen. Still, the road to Naples takes time, although transport accessibility is very good.

Еxcellent location, you will have the opportunity to observe real life in Ercolano, local flavor. In the immediate vicinity of the ancient city of Hercolaneum, not far from the express stop to Vesuvius and the railway station. Clean room, nice owners

Close to the ruins. Basic but most of what you need. Love the provision of a hanging rack and hangers. Good shower. Friendly owner who met us at the property.

The area is a little off-putting, above a market and graffiti everywhere. It doesn't seem unsafe once you settle in. Above pesceria so smelly to leave the balcony doors open. And sounded like someone was running up and down and dragging furniture above at all hours.

The place is excellent, so is the host (very helpful and kind)! They waited us after check in time. Everything is new and clean. Location was great for us, because we went to Vesuvius with a bus that starts 5min from apartment. And one day we went to Sorrento with a train (station also 5min from apartment). To Naples is aprox.20min by train. Herculanium site is just a few steps away. There is a market under the apartment, which was great, you can buy food. Eurospin is also near. And next to the entrance there is fast food (arancini, fritate 1eur...they also sell pizza but we didn't try it). Very nice gelato not far away. There are lots of restaurants around but we didn't use them. In the apartment it would be nice to have at least microwave, so we could prepare something to eat. But there is kettle and everything for coffee/tea. Google took us to the wrong street, so for everyone renting the apartment, the apartment is in the alley behind the museum.

Excellent place to rest our heads. We were out and about for the majority of our stay but for when we came back Hercules House it was ideal, it had everything we needed plus air con which was a bonus for how hot it was! There is a little market that takes place just below the apartment which I thought would be noisy however the doors kept all the noise out which was great. The bed was huge which I loved and it was comfortable. There were some lovely little places to eat really close and the train station was just at the top of the hill which was ideal as that was our main mode of transport during our trip. Communication was good between ourselves and the hosts, and they messaged us as we landed to find out our arrival which was a nice touch. We were about a half an hour (approx) train journey into Naples city and about an hour from Sorrento. The train tickets were very cheap also. We were warned about the trains beforehand however there was nothing to worry about, I felt safe on them.

The front door was a bit of a bother, I wasn't strong enough to pull it open but luckily my partner was. The heat had expanded the metal door so it was difficult to open and close although this wasn't a major issue, just be prepared to use some force. Another minor thing, there wasn't a full length mirror so getting ready to go out was interesting. Again though, not a massive deal breaker.

Very helpful people, clean and tidy room. Good air conditioning, drinkable water. Neighborhood seemed a little bit dark at first but turned out just fine.

Unfortunately there was a constant problem with hot water. Although the owner showed some switches to be turned in order for the water to run hot it actually didn't work half the times and we had the unpleasant experience of having come back from a long day and taking an ice cold shower. It's truly the one disadvantage though.
