Frommer's "In our opinion, this Starwood property has more of a feeling of old-fashioned glamour than its sister hotel, the Vesuvius, and its prices are slightly lower." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This belle époque palazzo is the grande dame of Naples’ plush hotels, and it has seen everyone from movie royalty to real monarchs pass through its elegant doors."
Time Out "A Neapolitan landmark, it exerts a heady glamour - helped by its enviable position overlooking the bay, with Vesuvius as the backdrop and the Borgo Marinaro right opposite." Full review

"The 45-room Hotel San Francesco al Monte is a charming property converted from a 16th-century monastery." Full review
Fodor's "Surprisingly spacious, simply decorated rooms, many with their own hot tubs and furnishings no monk would dream of. Also there are majolica-tile floors, and stunning views of the city below." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Occupying an 16th-century convent, this four-star hotel is located some way from the centre of the city, but the pay-off is magnificent views and prices are competitive." Full review
Frommer's "The hillside location is a handy refuge...an easy walk or funicular ride away from the sights, and views from all the rooms and several airy glassed-in and outdoor lounges sweep across the city " Full review
