What a shock to the system Naples is. I have never felt so nervous about an area as I did when arriving at the Ideal Hotel. The area is very, very seedy with an enormous amount of homeless people and beggers all just hanging out in the streets. The area also smells from all the rotting gargage lying around on... more

A marvellous magical once-in-a-lifetime place. I could not have hoped for more, dared to dream of anything so perfect. A wonderful week to remember in a hotel that lives up to its name. Food: perfect. Staff: perfect. Location: perfect. Comfort: perfect more

The Hotel Ideal was in a very convenient location for us. We were only passing through Naples and staying there one night. It was right beside the train station, and in the same square as one of the main city bus stations. While I had read some reviews concerning the safety of the area, we were not out after dark... more

Hotel is centrally located next to the railway station. Not the most pleasant area but it was a good base for us.Major construction works going on at the moment outside the hotel but it did not bother us. For the price, it was good, basic and functional. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Room was spacious considering there were 3... more

We got a very low price and so were pleasantly surprised with the adequate room, tiny but clean bathroom and good aircon. Awful bed though. Nice service and breakfast OK by Italian standards. You get what you pay for, this was value for money (less than GBP 40 per room per night). more

The location of the hotel I would say it is very convenient. It`s easy to find, just locates right in front of the train station. One minute after crossing the road you will get there. However, crossing road in front of the train station is a bit scary. The traffic is a bit mad there and cars won`t stop. Staffs... more

We booked into the Hotel Ideal in Naples based on our requirement of a well located, reasonably priced hotel, within reach of the central station in Naples (allowing easy trips to the likes of Pompeii and Vesuvius). We got a fire, a room filled with smoke and no apology (until we'd paid). On arriving we realised we were in for... more

Cheap hotel that is close to bus to the airport and to the central train station, also to bus and metro lines. Good base for further travel. Quite loud and not so clean but not bad. more

You could not get anything more central in Napoli. If arriving by air, get the 3S bus to the railway station. Cost 1.10 euro. We only use a room for sleeping so the Ideal was....IDEAL HOTEL!!! A continental breakfast is included, but don't get too excited. For other meals, on the left handside to the entrance is a nice little... more
