| Great location in Naples! Nice, simple, rooms in an interesting old palace with a friendly owner. The "Hotel Plebiscito Due" is much less of a hotel or B&B than it is an apartment with rooms to rent. That being said, it was a little difficult to find (even several local restaurant employees didn't know where it was) and our flight arrived late in the evening so we had to get help from some other friendly locals to call the owner and have him drive from his home outside of the city to meet us. Point is, arrive early and speak at least a little Italian. Beyond that, I'd highly recommend the Plebiscito Due (and the little cafe around the corner offering superb orange-chocolate filled croissants). |

| Fastest route is the R2 bus from outside the station to Trieste e Trente which drops you just the other side of the piazza Plebiscito. Don't attempt the journey on foot with a suitcase!! Pasquale is very welcoming & friendly, and will answer any questions although with little English. He will also volunteer information & advice on what to see in Napoli. Cafe Gambrinus next door is fabulous for coffee & cake, and there are two cafes downstairs with seating in the piazza which are also a nice place to rest weary feet & have a energy boosting espresso, or a refreshing cold beer. |

| This was our first, and probably last time to Naples but definitely not because of this hotel. This hotel does take Visa unlike some of the other reviews have indicated. And like most of the reviews have indicated, this hotel is difficult to find. The street address is a large door/arch (depending on the time of the day) and you must take the external elevator to Floor 2. Once you find the hotel, however, the owner (who I think is only at the property when you check-in and when you check-out unless he is also the one cleaning the room) is very friendly and very helpful. He handed us maps and information for many local attractions (including maps of Capri and Sorrento - two of our destination while in Naples). Although he mainly speaks Italian, his gestures and limited English allowed for communication without problems. Like I said, he is very helpful. We were to be renting a car for two days of our visit and he immediately provided information for a nearby overnight garage to park the car. The room is also very nice (for the price). It looks very new and is quite spacious! Although there is no breakfast provided, the mini bar (full of sodas, water, and some snacks) is very reasonably priced. The hotel is not conveniently located to the train station (take a taxi to avoid walking through some dirty areas of Naples like we did), but it is very conveniently located for doing almost everything else in Naples. This really is a great hotel for the price! |

| Everything (location, cleaniness, room spaciousness, host, pricing etc.) is fine except the entrance. Once getting in the big gate in the street (as shown in the picture), you will find yourself in a very old, quiet and a bit dark courtyard. To be honest, I felt a bit scary and insecured and thought I was in the wrong place at that moment. The "hotel" (I personnaly think it is more like an inn) is in fact located in the second floor of this ancient building. But location is excellent, close to everything (port, shopping, bus-stop). |

| would stay again, the owner was fantastic. room was great, to find it go to the cafe then through the arch. someone will call the owner who will be there in 5 mins. not really a hotel you have your own keys and treat it as a appartment. the mini bar is well priced, bottled water is cheaper than if you bought it on the street. it is very central to everything and is in a great area. the cafe downstairs has great food and service. owner speaks some english and is very helpful. i had washed a few items and put them on the towel rail to dry while we spent the day at capri, came back to find he had installed a small clothes line from our window, very thoughtful. warning- do not take a crowded bus i had my wallet stolen from my bag. apart from that everything was perfect, thank you. |

| We arrived in Naples late in the evening and following advice from friends, had decided that we would head to Sorrento as soon as possible. However, when we arrived at the piazza where the hotel is located (after being ripped off by the taxi from the airport) we were pleasantly suprised. The area is lively and attractive and the ancient building which houses the 'hotel' has plenty of character. (The accommodation would be better described as a collection of rooms on the fourth floor of a building, rather than a hotel). It's right by a palace and is also very handy for the ferry port, about a 10 minute walk. Having found and negotiated the very small door in the large wooden gates that enclosed the coutryard beyond we ascended the 400 year old staricase, rather than taking our chances with the antique lift, and recieved a friendly, if basic, reception. The room was clean and smart and perfectly suited to our needs. It's a good base for a brief stay in Naples or if you are planning a lot of day trips. It's not a place where you would spend a lot of time as there are no views and feels very tucked away, despite it's proximity to major public spaces. I would certainly recommend Plebisctio Due to friends looking for good value and conveninet accommodation in Naples. |

| This is without a doubt a little gem of a find. The hotel is superbly located in the best area of Naples and right next door to Cafe Gambrinas. Perfect if you are going to the opera house as well. The host was lovely we took on board the comments from other guests about cash payments so there was no trouble checking in. The place is easy to find exactly as the picture, the entrance is through a blackdoor in the centre of the building which leads you into a courd yard of a charming old building ,while from the outside looks a little rundown (but it all adds to the charm), the interior was spotless, rooms modern and as picture. There is a bit of room to room noise but nothing that bothered us.No breakast but croissants and mini bar in the room also the best cafe in Naples just outside.We would definately stay there again very good value for money. |

| Best place to stay in Napoli! Very secure location, a few steps from the opera house San Carlo, to the pedestrian zone and to the harbour Beverello if you want to go to Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, etc. Our room in the 2nd floor (elevator) was quiet, spacious and very clean with a new bathroom. Special compliments and thanks go to the owner, Pasquale, a very friendly and gentle man who helped us with any information we needed. Grazie mille! We highly recommend this place and want to come back as soon as possible. |

| Even when I knew that the location was a little hard to find, it took a kind policemen making a phone call to find the right door (we were standing 20 ft from it). The room was fine, although you could hear people next door talking.. But the price is right and its an adventure taking that little elevator. |

| CASH ONLY! Misleading advertisement indicating credit cards were accecpted. This is a great place to stay in Naples. It is very convient to everything, very clean, quiet, and, secure. Host is very helpful except when it comes to payment. Sign outside building with hotel name would help travelers find it. |

| Best location but not really a "hotel", just a few rooms in a big office building. No lobby, no desk, no breakfast, no credit cards. Owner is friendly but only speaks (rapid) Italian. |

| We got lost in a rentalcar in Rome, so it was 9.30pm before we got on the train to Naples. We called the hotel; No problem! The Owner (we think) met us there to let us in and show the room, ten past midnight. Smiling. His english was better than my italian. There had been a doublebooking, so he gave us an appartment, excellent!!! He was so helpfull, we could not ask for more. If I ever visit Naples again, I will stay at this hotel. |
