Holiday Inn Naples Centro Direzionale Isola E6 80143 Napoli Tel 0039 081 2250111 www.holiday-inn.com/naplesitaly *** Booking *** As a member of the Holiday Inn Priority Club, I went on the club site www.priorityclub.com and made my booking direct, just select the dates you want, the city you want, the options are then listed in front of you.

Disadvantages: AC? What AC? Room was like an oven.

...We were planning to visit Pompeii but finding a decent hotel close by was as easy as excavating these ancient ruins with a teaspoon. So Naples it was.

The area is to be honest is a bit rough, the roads are bad, and quite dirty. Going into the centre of Bagnoli, there are a couple of nice restaurants, but people don't go here unless they need to! There is a big... Read review
