Hotel Poseidon

“Very suitable”

The location of the hotel is twofold - not in a very tidy area, but that's not the hotel's fault, but it is only a 10 minute walk to the port to catch a ferry to the Isle of Capri and there is a supermarket (with alcohol) just around the corner).

The location of the hotel is twofold - not in a very tidy area, but that's not the hotel's fault, but it is only a 10 minute walk to the port to catch a ferry to the Isle of Capri and there is a supermarket (with alcohol) just around the corner). It's a large hotel, with a huge foyer/lobby, which houses the reception area, a lounge (with a large TV), a bar and two central lifts - two lifts in a hotel; what a bonus!! The total area had retro furniture, but it was a little sterile, perhaps too cavernous and the bar was only open for limited hours. Notwithstanding that, the accommodation was good. A large room, comfortable bed, good shower, although perhaps the bathroom was a little small in proportion to the room, air con, safe, fridge and free wi-fi. No complaints whatsoever. The breakfast room/restaurant is on the top floor with a great view over the port and the Tyrrhenian Sea and on a clear day, you can sea Capri. It is an enormous room with some very large, round tables, which is great for a group of people to converse with each other, but with 14 and 30 seats respectively, perhaps just too big. Breakfast was good for cold options, although no orange juice or decent bread for toast. Our tour included dinner in the restaurant as well and that too, was very reasonable. All in all, a good stay for two nights.

It is a two minute walk to the harbour where there are some great restaurants and takeaways... Also an hours walk to Ercolano to the Hercalium . In the town centre there are numerous restaurants and bars and the other train line which will take you to Sorrento.

Nice area although as with all of Naples area a little run down and need of some street cleaners.staff at the hotel are very friendly and make your stay.this is not a holiday hotel but is a great place to stay when visiting the area as 2 stations 5 mins away so trips out to Naples and the area are easy and a good tip,get a unico 3 day travel ticket for the area as includes all travel for the whole area and 2 entries to great landmarks and 50 per cent discount at the rest .the hotel,the rooms and all it’s facilities are all very clean with the rooms being made up every day and towels changed.breakfast is continental but there is scrambled and boiled eggs and bacon to be had.there are some lovely restaurants and coffee shops in the area which we used and a walk along to harbour is a must with great views.i would definitely return to this hotel in an instant if I am travelling in this area again.thanks for a great stay from my daughter and myself .

“Great value hotel with room for improvement”

This hotel is a mixed bag of great and not so great. The location is very good for hoping onto trains (best use the circumvesuviana line) to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento.

This hotel is a mixed bag of great and not so great. The location is very good for hoping onto trains (best use the circumvesuviana line) to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento. The best train line to/from Naples and Sarno is the one outside the hotel. The staff were very helpful and attended to our requests for information and equipment (for the room). On the last point, we booked a 2 bedroom apartment that was very spacious, comfortable beds, nice views and very clean. However, while the apartment had a fridge freezer, it did not have a sink unit or any utensils to self cater. We asked for a kettle, some cups, spoons and glasses etc so we could prepare drinks and snacks, but it would have been nice if these could have been provided as standard. There are a couple of decent supermarkets nearby but check the opening times, especially on Sundays/holidays. We can highly recommend the Ristorante pizzeria Da Ciccio for food and drinks. The key down point is arguably beyond the control of the hotel but we were disappointed with the amount of dog mess on the streets near the hotel and in Torre Del Greco generally; this appears to be a local issue as the problem was not as prominent in Sorrento, Naples, Capri or Stabia. Overall a good value hotel with lovely staff but room for improvement regarding the room facilities.
