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

Avoid the Standard rooms at all costs, as these lack views and attention to detail, though all have air-conditioning.

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
