Royal Palace of Capodimonte

As a single, female traveler this was an awful place to stay. The manager was insulting. Keep the shutters and windows closed at all times from staff and neighbors. Ironing was only allowed in the kitchen, but not during breakfast?? The view from the upper deck was beautiful but there are no umbrellas or shade only plastic chairs and ash trays. The rooms were very nice and clean. The elevator is shut off at night. I needed to leave at 5 am and was scolded for taking my suitcase down the steps. I left early and returned late the entire 6 days of my stay. My trip was a gift from my son and daughter in law which I appreciated very much. The rest of the trip was very nice and I found the people and other visitors very kind and accommodating.

Good breakfast variety considering the hotel is quite small. Free shuttle timetable from the hotel which you could book on to at short notice to get in and back from Sorrento. Good room size and amenities - dressing gown and slippers were a lovely touch. Staff spoke brilliant English and were very helpful via WhatsApp. Hotel guests had access to sunbeds for free everyday with towels and a bottle of water. If you are there early enough, you could get one of the pool front beds. Only suggestion would be to have a complimentary bottle of water in the room everyday rather than having to rely on the minibar.
