My son and I stayed five nights at the Chiaja Hotel, which was recommended to us by its sister hotel in Naples. Located on a pedestrian-only street (Via Chiaia) and without a prominent sign out front, it may be a bit difficult to find, especially at night. We, however, found it without problem. Like others who've reviewed this hotel, we found it very safe: one has to go through a locked and monitored door to get to the front desk, and another locked and monitored door to get to your room, if you are on the second floor. The staff was very polite and professional. The lounge and breakfast room are the sort of quaint, "grand tour" common areas that encourage a convivial atmosphere among fellow guests; it felt right out of an E.M. Forester novel. Breakfast, served from 0830-1030, was included and was quite good. The hotel rooms are on two floors, the main level and the second floor. I recommend a room on the main floor; the hotel's wifi did not reach our second floor room at all, which required us to spend a lot of time in the lobby to access the internet. Our room faced the street and had a small balcony overlooking Via Chiaia, a bustling, noisy street. Light sleepers should ask for a room on the interior. We slept fine. Our room was simply furnished: two twin beds, two night tables, dressing cabinet, and...My son and I stayed five nights at the Chiaja Hotel, which was recommended to us by its sister hotel in Naples.

Our room was simply furnished: two twin beds, two night tables, dressing cabinet, and chair. The bathroom was larger than most and has been updated recently with modern appliances. It turned hot when we arrived in mid-June; the AC in our room kept it cool at night after we struggled to figure out the remote control. The Chiaja Hotel is a 10 minute walk from the ferry port to Capri and the other islands, is very close to fine shopping, and is close to several traditional restaurants. If you want a hotel close to the train station or airport, however, I recommend looking elsewhere. More
