Hotel Ideal

A very basic hotel, but convenient location. I didn´t want to spend any money on my one night stay, as I this time had to pay out of my own pocket. I feel that the price asked at the Ideal was more honest that what my company usually is paying at 4-star hotels in italy, and that the standard and service in fact wasn´t that much lower than what I have experienced at posher hotels this year. It wasn´t good, but i think that I actually received a good value for the money I paid. Would i book this hotel again ? Likely, if the price is right.

our hotel room was very small. we dont have refrigerater. we don have elevator. we dont have internet on room. ther was internet only loby. we dont have scene. hotel breakfest was very poor. we dont lıke to hotel ideal.

Rude personnel

We just stayed one night before our flight and it was perfect for this being on the square with the bus to the airport and the train station. The room was quiet. It was also on the small side but perfectly adequate for our purposes.

There was a delay in our room being available, it was smelley, small and surrounding area was extremely noisy. The bed was uncomfortable and not so many options for breakfast.

Well you get what you pay for, this place was very cheap and it did show. The whole place is a little shabby and the breakfast was definitely hostel standard rather than hotel standard. I can't say I'll ever understand the stars system but three for this seems rather optimistic, I'd have said 1 or 2 at most since this is really only one step up from a hostel. On the other hand it is the same price as a hostel so I'd definitely recommend it. Oh and in case you didn't know Naples is a city that is definitely fully of life but lacking in polish and definitely not for the faint hearted.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, nice little hotel bar with lovely waiter. Location was perfect, near central station. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Good value for money.

Initially the hotel was quite hard to find, partly due to the construction of the underground railway system on the doorstep, my inability to see the 20 ft sign above my head and the very tiny door numbers. A good tip, if you are asking locals whereabouts the hotel is, don't say "eye-deel", rather ask for "i-dee-aal" and you will pointed in the right direction right away. The various staff members I encountered were always very polite, friendly and mostly quite fluent in english. If, however, language was a barrier they were patient enough to try and understand what I was trying to say. The room was a little tight for space, but was adequate for my son and myself but the single power point was extremely annoying, meaning I had to unplug the TV to charge my phone/camera each night. The bathroom, containing shower, wash-basin, toilet and bidet was an acceptable size but the smell was disappointing. Although thankfully contained by closing the bathroom door it became apparent the probable source was the arrangement of the shower curtain overhanging, allowing the the bathroom, and a little of the bedroom area to become flooded if you showered for too long. I didn't try the bar but the breakfast buffet was very nice with as much coffee, orange juice, bread (toast), ham, cheese and various spreads supplied within the cost but croissants were available at additional charge (my nephew, staying at another hotel within the area, paid an additional $6 a head for the same thing).
