Hotel Nuovo Rebecchino

The hotel is no way close to three stars. The rooms are basic, every piece of furniture has seen better days. The street noise all day and night was awful, although there are three sets of blinds. Breakfast was all served on plastic dishes, food absolutely bland. The only positive thing is the location and the fact that everything was clean, although rundown. Only good for a one night stay.

With the price of the hotel and previous reviews I wasn't expecting great things. I always take reviews with a pinch of salt as it seems people have very high expectations when clearly booking on a very low budget? I just hoped for a clean room. I am glad I didn't listen to the reviews!! We arrived late and the receptionist (Massimo) was very friendly and helpful, we were impressed with the location (right by the train station and the airport bus stop) it's set next to a main road and open square so you don't need to wander down side streets to find it. We even managed to find great pizza and wine just around the corner after midnight, which was great after a long day of traveling! What we already knew about Napoli is to be vigilant of people and your belongings on the streets and transport, I have read some reviews and don't feel this is fair to review a hotel based on homeless people on the streets and not feeling safe outside the hotel, there are and if your not comfortable and want more touristic experience then is better to stay in the centre. It's only a 10 mins walk into the vibrant centre where you will find buzzing bars and bustling streets day and night. I must personally say we explored the surrounding streets late at night and didn't feel unsafe at any point, just be streetwise. Back to the hotel, the hotel and rooms are dated/traditional but very clean and well kept, I think most places are traditional and is inkeeping with the buildings. Friendly reception staff round the clock, daily cleaner for the room and a good selection for the continental breakfast, fresh croissants, yoghart and very nice coffee!! Such great value!! Had good WiFi in the room. The only thing is that the air-conditioning didn't work, we didn't ask to fix it or request a fan as we kept the balcony doors open for breeze. This would be the only slight downfall that we could have decided be with. I would ABSOLUTELY come back next time we are in the city & hope that will be in the very near future as love Napoli and enjoyed our 5 night stay in this hotel!
