Villa Dei Misteri

Pleasant stay for one night. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. We would have loved to swin in the pool, but 60 euros was too steep for 2 people. Noone was in the pool, so I guess everyone thgouht that it was not worth it. Also, no supper at the hotel, which was a bit disappointing since we arrived late.

Excellent service from all staff basic hotel but really close to all that wish to see Pompei and Vesuvius. The pool was added bonus. I would book again if coming to this area

The hotel is nice enough, but could use a little TLC. Lovely pool area was a welcome highlight after a hot day at Pompeii. Breakfast was fine, although a little lacking in variety. The coffee, however, was outstanding! Our room had a balcony with a drying rack — ideal both for bathing suits and a little bit of laundry.. The only complaints were the AC — it works well enough, but temperature and fan speed , could not be adjusted and the shower. Be prepared for an older European-style hand-held shower in the bathtub. Pretty tough to stand in, especially without soaking the entire room. The shower certainly did work, but was a bit awkward for North Americans unaccustomed to such a setup. You’re hard pressed to find a closer hotel for Pompeii. During our visit, the line at the nearby secondary entrance was quite manageable (we had a specific entry at 9:00 AM), and the site was not too busy for the first hour or so. On the way out, visit the ancient Villa dei Misteri, and you’ll only be a few minutes walk from the hotel.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was good and plenty of variety. The room was clean and air conditioning worked well. We would have liked a fridge in our room. No kettle etc but when we asked we were provided with hot water and cups to make our own drinks. The pool area was nice and clean. There is NOT a restaurant on site although the hotel information says that there is. We could purchase a very small variety of prepacked paninies at a reasonable price. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the train station and the Porta Marina entrance to the Pompeii ruins. With several restaurants in the area. But be aware that they all shut at 6pm as they are mostly catering for day visitors! If we had been there for a longer stay we probably would have been able to find other places to eat a bit further away. All in all once we got used to everything it was a very enjoyable stay.

Ok this is a hotel from the 70s BUT, it has a pool, free parking, AC, great staff, a bar and limited restaurant. Most importantly it's a 5 minute walk from Pompeii ruins and the rail station to Naples and Salerno. Great find and great value.
