| nice photo of Restaurant on homepage but Restaurant is closed! 3 light bulbs had to be changed, air conditionning of room not very efficient. Recommend visiting Botanical Garden right across the very busy street. |

| The hotel was fine - clean, welcoming and helpful staff. Breakfast was poor and not worth the price. The surrounding area was very dirty and not pleasant, though the restaurant next door was very busy. The botanic gardens directly opposite the hotel were really excellent an oasis of cleanliness and tranquility in this area of the city. Well worth a visit ! |

| The hotel was far enough away from the noisy end of Naples, but still close enough to get to the station and airport. The restaurant next door is fantastic. |

| Breakfast very small, the staff was not kooperativ in my opinion. The corridor was not cleaned all the three days we stayed there. The room was very dark. |

| The room was spacious, even by American standards. The hotel was clean and the staff courteous. The breakfast was great. It is in an ideal location for getting around Naples; easy access to subways and buses. We highly recommend the Hotel Del Real Orto Botanico Naples and look forward to staying there again soon. |

| The hotel is perfectly decent, but perhaps a bit overpriced considering its unsalubrious neighbourhood. The facilities are OK but it is not especially welcoming in that its bar never seemed to be open or functioning when I was around. In other words it is somewhere people stay in order to go elsewhere. Buses are plentiful but crowded. The metro in Naples is a bad joke. But the city is fascinating. Incidentally the local bus to the airport from up the road costs almost nothing - but the hotel was more eager to find a taxi than to volunteer exactly how to use the buses... |

| The room was very large and quiet,when the window closed. The location was too far from the station! We can't walk bringing big suitcase. The staff was friendly and breakfast was no problem. |

| The hotel staff was extremely warm and welcoming, as well as helpful. The hotel is a bit of a walk to major sights, and further from the train station than was indicated. But there are buses nearby, and it is a real bargain to have such a beautiful and large room for this price in Italy, with a decent breakfast included. |

| An excellent place to stay in good location in one of the world's most frenetic cities; close to Botantical Gardens, Archeological Museum and on bus route to Piazza Garibaldi to catch Circumvesuviana to Pompeii and Herculanium. By Italian standards, the breakfast was excellent and the coffee superb. Only problem with the breakfast room was the terrible piped music! Grazie Fabio! |

| En una ciudad sucia y caótica como Nápoles, poco inclinada hacia el turismo pese a sus condiciones excepcionales, el hotel fue una especie de oasis, limpio y tranquilo, aunque algo viejo, desayuno aceptable, alrededores caóticos con un par de buenas opciones para comer, cercano al centro histórico, con transporte cercano, la indicación para llegar desde la estación de trenes no fue buena, no está tan cerca, lleva casi 25 minutos caminando por calles empedradas!!!!!!!. No tengo intenciones de regresar a Nápoles, aunque quizá si a Sorrento, Ischia, Pompeya y el Vesubio, tan cercanas y diferentes, pero si lo hiciera, volvería a este hotel. |

| Naples was our last destination after a months holliday in the south of Italy. We are a family with to small children, who was going to explore Naples for a couple of days. We had heard a lot negative aspects regarding Naples. And I'm sorry to say most was true. The traffic is unbelivable caotic. Good advice is to bring the GPS if you go by car. The city is dirty and full of smog. The noice and tempo makes you feel stressed. Anyway the hotel was a nice place to relax in beetween. The staff was very helpful, and the hotel gave after our opinion great value for money. We can strongly recommend the Hotel Del Real Orto Botanico Naples. |

| The hotel itself was not bad, rooms were a nice size but the area is horrible. The hotel desk staff were rather indiffernt to us but we only stayed one night. It is a very small hotel with only one restaurant that had no one in it. |

| Ignore everything you've ever heard about Naples - Yes it's noisy, yes it can be a bit smelly on a hot day and yes it's a bit of an overwhelming city. BUT IT'S FANTASTIC! The Hotel Del Real Orto Botanico Naples is an absolute oasis from the hectic city - straight opposite the beautiful botanic gardens, about 1km from the main train station, 500m from the nearest tube stop(Pzza Cavour) and 700m from the national museum. It is on a main route into the city so the road is noisy but we had a room overlooking the gardens (and road) but they're all quadruple glazed windows and airconditioned so had really peaceful nights sleep. Not to mention the fact that the rooms look far nicer in reality than in the hotels published pictures and were bigger than most suites we've stayed in. If i had to mention negatives they would be that there was no fruit at breakfast - but with a veg market just up the road that was easily overcome. Also at the moment the hotel doesn't have a restaurant in the evening but make sure you try the seafood restaurant 20m from the hotels front door. We've travelled all over the world and it really was the best we've had, great fun - and proof that Napoli locals arn't all rude as a lot of guides say! We can't wait to go back to Naples and see all the bits we missed and would definitely stay at the same hotel. |

| Génial! Non seulement l'hôtel est magnifique (bien que l'extérieur ne le présage pas), mais le personnel est adorable! Très facile à trouver et parfait pour ensuite se promener dans Naples. La chambre était en fait une suite, très spacieuse et très belle; la vue de la terrasse est magnifique |

| Séjour en famille (2 adultes + 2 enfants)dans une chambre de type "suite" très spacieuse. Chambre et parties communes très propres. Petit déjeuner buffet avec un bon choix. Agréable terrasse au dernier étage. Personnel serviable et compétent. Pour arriver de l'aéroport le mieux est le bus 3S en descendant Piazza Carlo III, puis c'est à 10 mn à pied. Ne pas aller comme indiqué sur le site jusqu'à piazza Garibaldi car il faut reprendre un autre bus ou marcher un bon moment. Le centre ville est accessible à pied et après une bonne journée de marche, le bus 201 vous ramènera tout près de l'hotel. Dernière chose, le restaurant-pizzeria près de l'hotel sur le même coté de la rue est excellent; mais attention le soir à partir de 21h00 il faut prendre un ticket d'appel et faire la queue ... succès oblige. |

| Very friendly staff! very helpful. We had a good meal in their restaurant downtown. We had free transport both ways. Very nice seafood restaurant to the left, when you go out of the hotel. About 20 min to walk downtown. Be smart and ask for the price before you enter a taxi. We were ripped off! Lovely roofgarden! We enjoyed it every afternoon. I will stay here again! |
