Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Housed in a 16th-century monastery, this hotel is magnificent." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This atmospheric 16thcentury Franciscan monastery opened as a hotel in 2002. All of the now-luxurious former monks’ cells have views over the bay."
Time Out "This hotel was converted from the Santa Lucia al Monte convent, founded in 1557 by the Minori Conventuali monks." 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

Frommer's "Next door to the more luxurious Vesuvio, this historic hotel offers an old-fashioned atmosphere mixed with elegant decor." Full review
Lonely Planet "All decked out in powder blues and creams, this five-star pad owes much of its Liberty look to celebrated architect Giovan Battista Comencini."
DK Eyewitness "Though more modest, this hotel has the most character of the three “grands” along the bay. It shares the same views and was renovated a few years ago. All the comforts you may require."
Star Service "Hovering over the bay front next to the superior Excelsior, facing the Castel dell'Ovo and the colorful marina, this seven-story independent remains a perennial marker for potential." Full review
i
Avoid the Standard rooms at all costs, as these lack views and attention to detail, though all have air-conditioning.

"Its outstanding location keeps the upscale Grand Hotel Santa Lucia in the running as a fine choice for travelers wanting to be near the sea and Naples attractions." Full review
Fodor's "Neapolitan enchantment can be yours if you stay at this luxurious, quietly understated hotel that overlooks the port immortalized in the song "Santa Lucia."" Full review
