    Unique - just fine for those looking for a good price, location, and secure and clean rooms.

    It is located between a busy street and the train, so there is some noise - but mostly the rooms are set back and secluded in a courtyard. We were here in March and my room was cold - there is a heater/air conditioner, but all the hot air went rose upward in the tall room. I did find the extra coverlet.

    As one reviewer wrote - it is a "quirky" place. Not a hotel, not quite a B&B or guest house. But we enjoyed our stay of three nights The location is close to the Pompeii Archaeological Park entrance and the train. was the main appeal, and the price was good. The rooms are affiliated in some way with the 24-hr bar and pastry shop Magma, and they open off a big courtyard. The room was spacious, clean, and secure. The people were all friendly (though I never figured out who was in charge). Breakfast was (very good) coffee and choice of pastry at the bar. Prices were low and quality high - so I oped for more pastries. In my room I could hear the train regularly the first night - but then was used to it. We found good restaurants near by ("Gare" and especially - at about a 15 minute walk - "I Matti"). This is not for the picky, romantic, luxury-liking traveler, but just fine for those looking for a good price and location.

    Breakfast was poor with just a small coffee n Crosaint That's all you can get. Most people are going to walk all morning in Pompei and need the energy

    Lady was very accomadating. Came out to the train station late at night n waited till I arrive. Lovely rooms with low prices.

    One flat pillow per person. No headboards upstairs, so what pillows you have… you lose.

    The staff (Carmen) was super nice and accommodating. Let us store our luggage after we checked out, and helped us with transportation and food. Really were top-notch service. So close to the archaeological site and the associated train station. Easy walk, and plenty of food options around the corner. Great base for exploring the ruins.

    Communication could be improved. For example, we got instructions for check-in only when I reached the location. We were trying to communicate with the bakery below and they don't understand or speak English and we don't understand or speak Italian. It could have been avoided, had the instructions were send well in advance. Breakfast was just 1 Croissant and a drink, which in my opinion is not enough for a filling breakfast. Everywhere else I stayed, breakfast was 2 Croissants or 1 Panini/ Sandwich and a drink. We had to pay extra for a filling breakfast. Again, these details were not instructed well in advance. Parking is not private, but road side parking, which if you are lucky you will find a spot. Thankfully, another car pulled out and we got a spot directly Infront to park. Although the host was very friendly and understanding, the above could be improved for a great review.

    The room was perfect for the family. Well thought after and planned. Although there were bin liners missing, overall it was clean. Also received a card, which is a personal touch. Excellent location, very close to the entrance of Pompeii ruins.

    The “included”breakfast didn’t have many choices. If you want more interesting pastries or other breakfast food, don’t choose the “breakfast included” option and buy what you want from the restaurant next door.

    The host, Carmen, is charming and treated us to extra cappuccinos on the day of our departure. The property is ery close to two gates to the ruins and to the Pompeii Scavi train station. It is also a nice stroll to Pompei City where there are many restaurant and non-tourists shopping opportunities.

    Clean, neat hotel within 10 minute walk to the Pompeii ruins. When you arrive it isn't very clear that the room is in the rear courtyard of a home behind a restaurant. The young lady running the hotel was very lovely - but the owners of the cafe next door (who seem to be associated with the hotel as well) weren't as nice and we noticed we were treated not as well as the local Italians who also came to dine there. A bit disappointing really.

    It was not clear that the rooms were out the back of a 24 hour bar, there was no reception area obvious. No view out window (just a concrete wall).

    We appreciated the breakfast provided but would have enjoyed it more with fewer smoking patrons and a quieter TV.

    A very clean and modern room minutes away from the Pompeii Ruins. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size. Carmen was there to check us in and allowed us to leave our bags early which was a huge help. Breakfast at the cafe/bar on the property was included.

    The breakfast (croissant and coffee) tasted great, though was the same every morning. Some more options when you stay multiple nights would be nice.

    Spacious room on ground floor. Extremely clean. Everything well taken care of. Location is perfect for visiting the Pompeii ruins, a 2 minute walk.

    For light sleepers, the proximity of the regional train may be an issue but for me it was no concern at all

    A modern, well designed and comfortable room and en-suite toilet/shower room. It was clean and fresh. Their attached cafe is very popular, has great coffee and cakes but outdoor only seating. Only a very short walk to one entrance and an official ticket office for the incredible ancient Pompeii ruins. It proved a great place for my first visit . About 2.5 km from the train station.

    Unfortunate that it’s right under a train track. The noise didn’t bother us in the evening.

    Perfect location to visit the Pompei ruins. Lovely modern and clean rooms. Easy to find and central to plenty of places to eat. Carmen is a credit to this place. She was so helpful, friendly and accommodating. I would recommend a short stay here especially if you want to be within walking distance to the archeological park.
