Best Hotels near Portici ＂Dog Park＂, Portici

We stayed for 3 nights, used as a base to explore Naples and visit Vesuvius and Pompeii. The hotel is beautiful, exceptionally clean and very nice, modern decor. Huge, comfortable bed and we had a lovely view of Vesuvius and side sea view (Deluxe room, 3rd floor). Staff are excellent, very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was very nice buffet style and you can request omelettes to order. We ate in the restaurant on our first night, in our opinion this was a little over priced for the quality of the food. There are plenty of very good quality restaurants within a short walking distance (10 - 15 minutes) or the hotel shuttle will take you and pick you up free of charge. We used the hotel shuttle for airport transfers and would recommend this, at £50 Euros each way this is around the same cost as arranging yourself but more convenient. The train station is around 10 mins walking distance and the hotel will take you if you prefer. Train to Naples takes around 15 mins. The hotel arranged a day tour of Vesuvius and Pompeii for us before our arrival, we would highly recommend this option - minibus with a guide collects you from the hotel and the whole excursion is around 9 hours including lunch at a picturesque pizzeria in the hills and a guide for Pompeii (Vesuvius guides are free of charge and you pick one up when you arrive in your chosen language). Cost was around 100 Euros per person. Pool area is lovely and waiter service for food and drinks to your sunbed. The pool is very cold! Only real negative for us was the shower - very small cubicle for such a lovely large hotel room and modern bathroom! We would visit this hotel again as a perfect location for visiting Naples but away from the hustle and bustle! The grounds are peaceful and the views are stunning but it is within easy reach of the amenities in Portici and very close to Naples centre via train.

Firstly the good things, this hotel was kept very clean and the staff were all very friendly and did help with the issues we experienced. The negatives: on arrival our room wasnt ready, we had left home at 07.30 in the morning, and arrived at the hotel 17.30, so an exhausting day travelling (as flying usually is) so to find that the room wasnt ready was not a great start. We had to sit in reception for approx 45 mins waiting. But the main problem for us was that the air conditioning was broken while we were there. The room we were in was on the ground floor, there was no pavement on the street outside so we had cars driving and parking right outside our window. Due to the broken air conditioning we needed to keep the window open to try to get some airflow, but this meant we had all the street noise and traffic fumes coming into the room. The hotel did move us to another room on a higher floor so we were away from the traffic fumes, unfortunately this room had the sun shining in all day and was even hotter than the first room. Again the staff were helpful and found us a fan to use which did help a bit. Our first room on the ground floor was not as nicely decorated as the second room, the first room was tatty and basic, so I think it will depend which room you get allocated as to how nice the room is. We had read reviews that the area is not nice, it was so much worse than we could have imagined - I have never seen so much rubbish piled up, its grubby, dirty and smelled of urine. I had thought a 25-30 minute walk into Naples would be ok, but we only did it once. Got the train thereafter to avoid the disgusting streets on the way in. The trains are surprisingly clean and pleasant compared to walking, once you work out the ticket system. The train station is approx a 10 minute walk from the hotel. There arent many place to eat near to the hotel, and they dont open in the evening until later around 8pm, which is later than we are used to. The hotel food was expensive was quite revolting, we only ate there once. They served a weird cold courgette dish and hard cubes of potato as the vegetable sides. So the rooms, the food, the broken air conditioning and the area surrounding the hotel spoilt our holiday. This was our first holiday together as a couple and we wanted it to be special so its doubly disappointing that the hotel was such a let down. If you want to visit Naples, I would suggest avoiding this hotel, find one closer to the centre where you can wander out of your hotel and be right in the heart of Naples, with all its eateries and coffee shops on your doorstep.

Stayed a total of 4 nights over 2 visits in October with a family of 9 (3 rooms). It's a really nice hotel with a high end feel. Staff are extremely accommodating and helpful with any and all queries. Rooms are immaculately clean with excellent AC and a large smart TV. Beds are comfortable and there's a choice of pillow styles you can request from reception if you require neck support pillows or similar. Rooftop restaurant is nice, however food may be a bit ”gourmet” for young children. But you can order pizza from the room service menu to be delivered to the room. Vesuvius garden and seating is a nice place to sit with a coffee. Can't comment on the spa/pool as unfortunately children aren't able to use this facility and I had 4 young kids with me. The area may be a little off putting when you first arrive, but there's a train station within 10 mins walk to go to Naples centre or out Sorrento way.

The hotel is well located and our room had views of the sea. The staff were very careful. The hotel is very beautiful in particular the floor.

It is about a 15-minute walk from the station. On the way from the station, there is a clean supermarket, laundry, and delicious pizza restaurant, and next door is a chain *****tore, so the location is great. The room was quite spacious, cleaned every day, and had a large terrace, so it was very comfortable. I visited not only Naples, but also Pompeii, Salerno → Amalfi → Potasino → Sorrento, but Amalfi and Potasino were too crowded, so I'm glad I did a day trip from Naples. There is no resident staff, so you need to go at the specified time to check in, but be careful that they don't open the door unless you call. I ended up not being able to contact the hotel in Matera, so the hotel canceled the day and I didn't get a refund, so I was a little worried that it would happen again.

Very satisfied with our stay, we were welcomed by the owners and were given instructions on how to access the building. San Martino Apartment was very spacious and had complete amenities (kitchen/microwave, washing machine, Netflix). Owners were also very responsive to whatsapp and address all concerns promptly. Location is great as well, few steps to Toledo and other historical sights
