I rarely write hotel reviews unless I believe the ratings are unfairly positive or excessively critical. Romeo Napoli deserves accolades for being among the best hotels in Italy. Indeed, the reviews are generally good. However, my wife and I believe the hotel and its excellent staff deserve a few superlatives. From the moment you enter this beautiful modern hotel, you anticipate that the experience will be unique. From the lobby to the restaurants, spa, and common areas, it is well-designed and tantalizes the senses. |The rooms are spacious, inviting, and remarkably comfortable. The mattress is excellent - firm and supportive, yet luxurious. The down pillows and powerful A/C provided my wife and I with the best nights of sleep during our three weeks in Italy.|We are diamond members at Hilton, and we were treated extremely well during our five-night stay in Napoli. |The modern see-through pool on the 10th floor provides wonderful views of the coast and the nearby fort. The service is top-notch. |As diamond members, breakfast is included, but I would have gladly paid for the daily breakfast on the 9th floor. It is simply the best overall breakfast we have encountered - period. The presentation, service, and taste of each of the dishes is fantastic. The hotel utilizes the Michelin-star rated restaurant for breakfast, and the creativity and taste profile come through. Even something basic such as "avocado toast" is creative, delicious, and different from any we have ever had. The portion size is excellent and allows guests to try multiple dishes, all of which are outstanding. It is not hyperbole to say the cappuccino is the best we have had (and in Italy that is saying something). |The view for breakfast is picturesque overlooking the port and Mt. Vesuvius is ever present. |The spa has a broad array of services, but the modern amenities such as an ice bath adjacent to two hot tubs, several therapy pools, wet and dry saunas, and a salt room provide health aficionados ample opportunity to unwind after a day of sight-seeing. |The gym is well-equipped with machines, free weights, and an array of cardio equipment and the facilities are first-rate as we came to expect at the Romeo. |The location of the hotel is perfect - central, but just outside the most crowded touristy areas, but within easy walking distance. And being located on the water provides great views and ambiance. |If you plan a trip to Naples and you are considering an excellent upscale hotel, we can recommend the Romeo more enthusiastically. We are already anticipating our return in the next year or two.
