Very elegant surroundings and a great view of vesuvius from the room window. If you can look past the busy main road, the graffiti and the ghetto type surroundings on the doorstep then you'll probably feel at home here. On arriving in Ercolano the taxi driver warned us not to go out at night! It is a very rough area and I just can't imagine how such an elegant hotel can possibly survive amongst the high rise flats and crumbling houses. When we asked to be booked in for our first evening meal we were pointed in the direction of a restaurant 200yards down the road!! There were no bar facilities and asking for a coffee was like a cardinal sin. The maid service was intrusive, hovering outside the room constantly and pouncing the minute your back was turned! The reception desk staff were polite but far from friendly. The best thing about our 3 day stay were the breakfasts in the room. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for anything other than a wedding reception. It is very basic, the rooms and surroundings are elegant and there is a lovely garden. To call it a Park is a bit of an exaggeration. Total score 7/10 but wouldn't go back there again.
