We booked our stay for the family (a couple ans 3 adult sons) by booking.com and as we arrived in the MAjestic, we knew we did a good choice. The hotel is located in the Chiaia district, wich is a very nice place with goods shops (three blocks form via del Calabrito, wehre Gucci, Vuittom, Armani and another nice shops are) and near to some pedestrian streets, with nice shops as Diesel, and some bars, that are very nice for a late afternoon walk. You can go walking to an incredible pizza place, Matozzi, wich is only four block away. The owner is a very nice person, as well as and the staff and the place is very cozy and food is amazing - not only the pizza itself and the pasta, but the nutella tart and the other pastries, that are unforgetable. It was such a nice experience that in our 4 night stay, we ate there for two. The hotel itself is more dedicated to business and the decoration follows this rule, but it was incredible new and clean (what is not common for Naples), the rooms where good and the bathroom was very good also, with a big bathtub and nice shower inside of it. Just don?t expect a traditiona building, since it?s not. The staff was so nice to us - since the front desk to the manager and the maids, the breakfast was very good and the restaurant also, I ate there a delicious veal with apple. The only bad thing is that they dont have personal safes in the rooms, but they said us they where suppose to instal it this year. I would return without a doubt.

Leider hat dieses Hotel ein Problem mit dem Wasserdruck. In den Luxuszimmern auf dem 10ten Stock (Junior Suiten) gibt es nicht genügend Wasserdruck und so hat man während Zeiten von hohem Wasserverbrauch in den niedrigeren Stockwerken, überhaupt kein Wasser. Sogar zu ruhigeren Zeiten ist der Wasserdruck unzureichend um sich zu duschen und es braucht lange um die Wanne zu füllen. Das Wasser ist von bräunlicher Farbe. Das Hotel hat 2 Übernachtungen Stornokosten berechnet, wenn man frühzeitig, vor dem gebuchten Abreisedatum, gefahren ist. Expedia.com konnte das Management nicht überzeugen von dieser Regelung abzusehen. Die Flughafentaxen verdoppeln ihre Kosten am Sonntag und die Hotelannehmlichkeiten sind eingeschränkt. Dies ist ein Geschäftshotel und kein Urlaubs- bzw. Wochenendhotel.

Nachdem ich sehr viele Kommentare über Hotels und Neapel selbst gelesen habe, war ich mir nicht sicher, was wir vorfinden würden. Wir fanden das Hotel toll, die Angestellten waren hilfsbereit und es war ruhig und sauber. Die Lage war sehr gut und wir hatten keinerlei Bedenken während unseres Aufenthaltes was die Sicherheit betrifft. Wir haben ein Superiorzimmer gebucht, das größer war und auf jedem Fall die Extrakosten wert war. Versuchen Sie sich die Statue des Verschleierten Christus anzuschauen, eine beeindruckende Skulptur in einer winzigen Kapelle, deren Namen ich vergessen habe. Später sind wir runter nach Sorrento, was zwar ok war, jedoch war es voll von britischen und amerikanischen Touristen; wir haben Neapel auf jedem Fall vorgezogen.

Spacious well furnished double rooms for €100 per night (July 2007). Nice neighbourhood, close to park and sea.

The name of the hotel suggests a slightly different look than the square box style functional exterior. Having said that, the hotel is excellently situated: close to the harbour and smack bang in the middle of excellent and charming and rather upmarket shopping streets. We felt totally safe walking the streets in this area at night (unlike some other parts of town). There are also a number of good restaurants and cafes close by. I visited the hotel in connection with a conference, with several collegues. We had some hair raising experiences with taxi drivers, so it was a definate plus to be able to walk most places. The actual rooms were spacious, clean and well equipped. I see that someone else has commented that the water pressure in the suites on the top floor was poor. That was not a problem for us. We stayed on the first floor (which for some inexplicable reason turned out to be the second floor...) and the water pressure was excellent. The airconditioning was quiet, efficent and adjustable, so no complaints there either. The breakfast buffet was good and hotel staff polite and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again the next time I visit Naples. You do not get a view from most of the rooms and if you want to stay in an historic building, this is not the hotel for you. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a clean, pleasant, quiet and well located hotel - this might be it.
