I had this on personal recommendation - friends had been there and raved about it. I booked a room with a sea view. When I got there it was late at night. I noticed there were lots of road works outside but didn't really get their full force until the morning. The hotel is a gem: cutting edge gorgeous interior... more

if you want a generic, characterless hotel room, this boutique hotel is not for you. It felt authentic and almost romantic to walk across the tiny palazzo courtyard and up the stairs (yes, there's also an elevator) of the building to the red entrance doors of this intimate hotel. Thank goodness, it wasn't some purpose-built concrete block of a chain... more

We have been visiting Napoli for years and always struggle to find somewhere decent to stay that is affordable and has a bit of personality. Then we found out about the Micalo. We LOVED it! It's in by far the best part of town. It cost E25 for a taxi form the airport. The area is great and perhaps one... more

I was very drawn to the hotel's Zen-like design and the reviews on this site were generally quite favorable. The hotel offered me their season discounted rate of 140 Euro per night - giving me a seaview room (normally higher price) for the first two nights of my stay and the standard room for the next two nights. GOOD POINTS-... more

What a fabulous find. I stay in Naples a lot and the Micalo` is easily my favourite hotel now. I've stayed here three times now. It beats all the old Neapolitan dames living off past glories down at Santa Lucia and elsewhere - these established hotels lack any character and seem to cater for corporate clients. Praise the lord the... more

First, when you arrive at the hotel, it is in a building with several offices and homes. Not what you would expect paying $250 a night. When you walk in the whole place smelled of moth balls? The bar area faces the water but none of the rooms do to my knowledge. We were given a room literally right next... more

Having stayed for three nights at Micalo before going for a week to Capri, we give it our highest recommendations. Micalo offers a quiet and relaxing experience in one of the noisiest cities around. The rooms are comfortable, with great beds and functional bathrooms (taking a shower does not flood the entire bathroom, as in most Italian hotels). The digital... more

Situated in the heart of Naples and with views over the bay, this hotel is ideally situated to explore Napes, catch a ferry to Capri or visit Pompeii and Vesuvius. It is a hidden gem, disguised within a dowdy Piazza. The rooms are the most innovative I have ever experienced with beautiful suspended bathrooms overlooking pristine bedrooms. I asked to... more

Was recommended by a friend - might not have found it otherwise. Tucked away in a romantic courtyard, set back from Bay of Naples. Small, top class boutique hotel. Cutting edge and very unusual design with all the bathrooms on mezzanines above the room giving maximum space. Warm, attentive service as well as good food. Close to main shops and... more
