Mercure Napoli Centro Angioino

The most important thing about a hotel is the quality of sleep it provides, and in this regard this hotel fails completely, as it is unable to provide even a minimally restful sleep, for the beds are horrible, with deformed springs, and the pillows are hard as rocks. The towels were extremely worn, on the verge of tearing. The room is very small, and even so the air conditioning system seemed insufficient to cool the air. The minibar was noisy. As for the staff, they are cold, they don't know how to smile, they seem not to like their work, as they are always irritated and speak shouting, all of them. On this vacation, we've been to Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples. This was, without doubt, the worst hotel we stayed in Italy.

The hotel has a beautiful terrace overlooking the port and the Gulf of Naples, giving breakfast a magical feeling. It is strategically located. Most of the Napoli downtown attractions are within walking distance. The hotel does not have a bar, and the room was quite small. The staff was very nice. The hotel put me in touch with their trusted driver, Mr. Francesco Pugliese. With him, I visited the Phlegraean Fields (Pozzuoli), Herculaneum, and Pompeii. I spent a pleasant day conversing with him, and he shared many unique anecdotes about the tourist attractions I was visiting and about the lives of Neapolitans. Pugliese explained all the issues related to the frequent earthquakes in the Phlegraean Fields, giving me insight into the lives of Neapolitans both in the present and at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius. Therefore, Pugliese is not only an excellent driver but also a knowledgeable guide. The price he charged for the day was fair. I recommend visiting the surroundings of Naples with him if you have little time but still want to see a wonderful area in a short time.
