Hotel Casanova is close to the main station, and has very good transport links to nearby beauty spots and to the city of Naples. Breakfast was wonderful, in as much as although the hotel advertises breakfast for 4 Euro's there is no breakfast. Instead you are directed across the road to on of the finest cake shops/bars in all Naples. It has been in business for 171 years so they must be doing something right. The area around the hotel can be intimidating, however it is gradually being renovated. We had heard about how dangerous it could be, but my wife and I walked all around the area and into town with no problems ever. You can get the bus R2 from Piazza Garibaldi to right into the heart of everything, Plebiscito, Teatro Carlo,via Toledo etc. But be careful,if it is crowded, there are pickpockets about. You can also get a trolleybus directly to Museo Archeologico from outside the back door. Naples is in general a very friendly town, but it is wise to be cautious, as I said there are pickpockets, and even I that should know better, had my wallet stolen. This was but but was made up for by the extreme kindness of the owner and staff of the restaurant we were in when I discovered the loss. They phoned Visa for me, let me call my daughter in England to help get my card blocked, and they were very generous when my wife tried to pay. "These people bring shame on our city" was what was said to us. If you promise not to take advantage of them and you want a wonderful meal, great service in one of Naples best restaurants serving local cuisine, and is a member of the "Slow Food Movement" then you could do worse than try to find Hosteria Toledo, just off via Toledo. Back to the hotel, some of the staff have some English, but they are all very friendly, and willing and eager to please. Not having to pay for the use of the computer is a plus too. We loved it and will return.

One can easily miss the entrance of the hotel. I spent half an hour searching the hotel even though I knew and I was told by passer-bys that it was in the vicinity. A more clear map on the web would make my stay perfect. Room clean and big. One common Internet point provided (not the case for many other hotels in Italy). Location highly accessible by public transport.

Not a pleasant stay. This was the only time in a 3-week journey I was afraid to park my car at the door of the hotel.No a/c. Surroundings were apalling, you don't feel safe.My strong advice is you go outside Naples, to the beautiful amalfitan coast if you can. Naples is definitely not an easy venue.

I enjoyed staying at the Hotel Casanova. My room was clean, comfortable and pleasent. The hotel is easy to find and centrally located. It is a convenient walk to Piazza Garibaldi, Naples' major transit hub. Porta Capuana, a gateway to the historic center less than 100 meters away. The staff is friendly and helpful. When asked, they offered good suggestions regarding local restaurants and public transportation. I would gladly return.

The hotel is relatively close to the train station which is convenient, but the streets on the walk there were literally filled with trash and seedy looking characters. We were awoken one night by a long sequence of firecrackers or something just outside the hotel. The staff and help inside was good, the room was decent and cheap -- but you could probably find better.

Hotel was clean and provided basic requirements for a quick stop over. Rooms a bit noisy. Staff friendly and helpful. Surrounding streets very dirty. Naples disappointing.

cosy and welcoming accommodation, but we didn't get the breakfast we booked (as it's called bed&breakfast accommodation). However, this was no problem, as you dinner late in Italy, so there was no need for a breakfast.

Best Hotel for explore Napoli ! Only some steps and you have all what you need in Corso Garibaldi. And you feel the original Napoli. Not fare away railway and bus. What you need more?

Acomfortable budget hotel in Central Naples. The area seemed very safe and was close to good restaurants and the train station. Very convenient. This is not the most pleasant are a of Naples but was fine for our short stay.

This is a good hotel for the price except most of the employee can't speak English. I know It's Italy. However, the room and the hotel is very cold with no proper heater. The heater are regulated and everytime the room is always cold.

This hotel definitely exceeded our expectations. We arrived at 3am, and the man in the reception was still thoroughly helpful and friendly.
