II went their with my boyfriend on 18th Jan 06 for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The room we were given had a huge terrace, which was actually bigger than the room itself! This included 2 sunloungers and 2 chairs and a table. The room and hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant one night and it was the best meal we had in Naples. The food was very high quality and very beautifully presented.
The hotel is a converted monastery and it still has a lot of the original features due to it being a listed building. The hotel was originally built by digging into the mountain and this is apparent in some staircases and rooms that have been preserved. The hotel has an outdoor pool on the seventh floor with mouth gasping views.
The centre of Naples is about 10mins away, you will need to walk 5 minutes from the hotel to the funicular station, the main shopping street is a the next stop, which is only a 3minute ride. We found this quite convenient and safe, but not all people may do so.

I think you could have done with including a little more information for the higher ratings here. Take a look around at other people's reviews and you should see what I mean. Happy to re-rate if you add to this, just put a note in my guestbook to let me know when you're done.
