Polla Vacations from $1,323

The room was very clean, Breakfast was not great! There was very little choice, this was the 3rd hotel that I had stayed in during my trip and the worst Breakfast..you had to ask the member if staff for more coffee and it felt like you were imposing on them. The hotel itself is lovely but the area is very rough. Every cafe I went into advised me to put my bag in front of me and look out for pick pockets.

The location of the Excelsior is superb, overlooking the Bay of Naples. If you have the port side rooms you wake up to Vesuvius across the Bay and can watch its many moods throughout the day. On the roof top terrace you can watch the lights turn on in the city and see Vesuvius become a presence that is hard to ignore. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, and we needed it after 12 days of negotiating the cobblestone streets of the Amalfi Coast, averaging 6 miles a day, and we're senior citizens! This hotel holds a special place in my heart. The breakfast alone is worth staying here! The staff was super nice. The hotel is a piece of old Italian luxury and has to be experienced.

Very clean and very helpful staff

Beautiful vistas and nice hotel. Having the shuttle was convenient for getting into town and it was nice to have a quiet place to return to. The breakfast was nice, though we felt the food otherwise was just ok. Unfortunately on the first night got sick we believe from bad sea urchin pasta. I would stay again and just plan to eat meals out besides for breakfast, as we would normally anyway, but after being so tired from traveling, hoped to have better food options on site. The pool was very nice, the jacuzzi was warm but not hot and they both close at 7, having the option to swim at night would have been nice.
