Naples San Ferdinando Hotels

We recently stayed at the Hotel Royal Continental in Naples from January 7 to January 9, 2025, and our overall experience was very positive. Location & Safety The hotel is located in one of the safest and most touristic areas of Naples, right on Via Partenope, facing the sea and Castel dell'Ovo. Naples, as a city, is still evolving into a true tourist destination. The city is making significant improvements to attract more visitors, and you can feel that transition happening. This particular area where the hotel is located feels very safe, thanks to continuous police presence. We saw officers patrolling on foot and by car at all hours of the day and night, which gave us peace of mind. The neighborhood is also filled with excellent restaurants offering a wide range of quality food at reasonable prices. Of course, not every place is great, but there are many good options within walking distance. Additionally, the historic center and most major tourist attractions are within walking distance from the hotel. You can take a leisurely stroll and reach the main sights in under an hour. Room & Comfort The seafront location of the hotel is outstanding. The view from our room was beautiful, and we loved opening the panoramic window to let in the fresh sea breeze in the morning and evening. It’s a wonderful way to start and end your day. The room itself was comfortable and well-maintained, with a level of luxury comparable to a 4-star European hotel. However, it's important to note that European hotel standards are different from those in the U.S.. By American standards, this hotel would be closer to a 3-star property. Despite this, the housekeeping staff did a great job cleaning the room daily and replacing towels. Service & Atmosphere The hotel staff is professional and polite, but interactions felt a bit robotic and mechanical. It seemed like they were following routines rather than making genuine connections with guests. That said, room cleanliness was good, and we appreciated the attention to detail in that regard. One thing that stood out is the hotel’s nostalgic 1950s vibe. The hotel seems proud of its mid-century charm, which they promote through signs and advertisements around the property. If you enjoy that type of retro atmosphere, you’ll appreciate this hotel. Breakfast Experience The breakfast at the hotel was excellent. The dining room overlooks the sea, which makes for a lovely breakfast setting. There are several breakfast stations with a wide variety of options, and the food quality was great. Waiters clean the tables and take care of guests throughout breakfast service, which adds a nice touch. We were very satisfied with the overall breakfast experience. Final Thoughts Overall, Hotel Royal Continental is a solid choice for staying in Naples. The location is its biggest strength, offering stunning views, proximity to restaurants, and easy access to the historic center. it provides a comfortable and memorable experience with beautiful sea views and a nostalgic atmosphere. Would we stay here again? Yes, for the views, location, and breakfast!

The taxi from Naples Central Station to the hotel was 20 euros. You must bargain in Naples, hahaha. The hotel is in a good location, 10 minutes walk to the Royal Palace of Naples. The room is large, and the facilities are old but complete, clean and hygienic. The room includes breakfast and dinner. The breakfast restaurant is on the first floor, and the dinner restaurant is on the top floor, with a sea view. Dinner starts at 19:30. The main meal is not a buffet. There are three courses in total, appetizer, main course (pasta & soup or meat, choose one), and dessert. Recommended appetizer is sea bream, main course is grilled seafood, and dessert is tiramisu (very big)

The room was very clean, and large, breakfast was OK, the service was very warm, the location was good

Hidden gem inside the city. 15 minute walk to spacconapoli, 25 minutes to the birthplace of pizza. It’s furnished super nicely, and decadent in some ways but also hidden in what looks like a lackluster apartment building. Acceptable breakfast, good service and a comfortable sleep

The hotel is located on the seaside. It is a good and safe area, and it is close to the main attractions. It takes about 15 minutes to walk. In addition, the room is very clean and well decorated. It is not very big but very exquisite. The breakfast is average, but you can eat enough. The front desk service is also good.

Stayed for the second time, the location is very good on the edge of the seaside avenue in the city center, this time the hotel has been renovated, more beautiful, very comfortable, is one of the best hotels in Naples, will choose here in the future

We have stayed in Palazzo Chiatamone for 5 nights and it is highly recommended. The room is spacious although the shower tray is a little bit tight. It is closed to seashore, a convenient location with lot of restaurants. Some major attractions are within walking distance. The manager, Caesar, is very helpful and gave us a lot of useful information. All other staffs are very nice and friendly too. The elevator is very small, which may be a problem for large luggage. This is not unique since most historic buildings in Naples has the same issue. Overall, we feel very comfortable to stay here.

The hotel is very exclusive located in the middle of the main street, Via Toledo, and close to Toledo subway station and Molo Beverello Port. Modern rooms and staff very polite and helpful. Highly recommended.

The advantage of the hotel is that the location is particularly good. The entrance is not easy to find, it is in a small courtyard on Chiaja Road. The Zhou Wei visitor area is very safe, and Brandi Pizzeria (the inventor of Margherita pizza) is downstairs. There are good restaurants not far away. The room is quite decent, the facilities are old, and it's liveable. The quilt has no core but only a blanket (traditional in Italy). People who are not used to it can only consider chain hotels.

The experience is very good, very close to the conference address, there are many attractions around, the boss is very enthusiastic and praises. I will choose this hotel next time I come to Naples.
