Great location: 15 min walk to Napoli Centrale or 7 min walk to subway station Duomo. Nice staff at the reception and at the breakfast buffet. Breakfast is just okay. Wifi is great. Plenty quiet for a good sleep. Coffee and tea in the room. Fantastic aircon unit (which I needed, even in October). Little balcony with nice view from the 3rd floor. Overall I had a pleasant 6 night stay and I think the price is right for what you get.

Some small things: bed is a little soft for my taste. Shower area is a little small (water pressure and temperature are good though). Room is not that big. It is an older hotel and interior but it is clean and robust so I think it is charming. Again: I had a pleasant 6 night stay.

We came with the ferry from Ischia and our walk to the hotel led us through some unsightly streets of the harbour district - and we started to become a bit sceptical. But, arriving at the hotel we were pleasantly surprised (area seemed to us save). The hotel looked beautiful. It's a very small hotel (from the building, but also only 3 or 4 rooms per floor), everything super clean, the interior design pleasant (depends on individual taste). So we were very happy. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very central, nearly in the historic city centre and not far away from the main train station. The breakfast had a rich choice - even whole grain croissants. Some short remark: I had a room with a small balcony (with a view on a small place and church). That offered enough place. The room of my travelling companion was much smaller - so I recommend the bigger room with balcony (even if it is more, but not much expensive). All in all: best value for money.

One has to keep in mind that the hotel is on a large street with much traffic (also in the evening). However - I guess if someone wants to have a hotel room in the city centre - thats how it is (and insofar this is not really a contra).

Simon and the restt of the staff were wonderful from the moment I checked in. He advised me on everything necessary. The mature gentleman made sure I made my airport taxi reservation at 3.30 in the morning. They me good recommendations. The hotel had suttle charm for the price especially. My had a nice little balcony that opened into lively cross street with a cute stand selling crepes and limoncello ice. It was a frugal charming find for me.

There was nothing I did not like.

This is a wonderful hotel in the beating heart of Napoli - it is a short walk from the main Garibaldi Train Station and as you would expect it is extremely chaotic and busy around here- but that is what to expect in a city such as Naples. Very easy to get around the main attractions- Trains to Pompeii and Sorrento are very accessible and the hotel is within walking distance to Old Town and Shopping District. Noise from the street is almost completely muffled by well insulated rooms and there is also a balcony in the room. There is a bar open 24/7 offering a decent selection of drinks. Air conditioning in the room. Shower pressure is one of the best I have experienced in a hotel and the beds are comfy if functional. The staff at Hotel Ares are truly exceptional- Simone, Orlando and Matteo go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at home- their knowledge of the local area is first class and that really assisted us in making the most of our trip. Special shout out to Nunzio the Night Porter who would never hesitate to offer me a drink late in the evening and his warmth was just so genuine. Also Antonietta the Breakfast lady always remembered me and my wife’s milk preferences and even carried our luggage to the storage on check out at her request. This is real Italian hospitality at its finest. A very reasonable price for the room too. You will not be disappointed coming to Hotel Ares.

The shower did not completely drain but after a small bit of self maintenance this was fixed- no biggie.

The property had a great location. We were able to walk from the train station to the hotel. The rooms were clean and recently renovated. The property had an elevator. Bathroom was a good size and a nice comfortable bed We felt safe in the property as there was a 24 hour door person. We also had a small balcony which was nice to open and look out.

The elevator was small, and we had to wait a couple of cycles as other people were also waiting to use the elevator. Staff was not overly friendly.

The breakfast was great - and ABUNDANT ! Luana was delightful and always ready to assist with something special. At the front desk Simone was always helpful and eager to do anything to make our stay more enjoyable. I found the room quiet and had no trouble sleeping even though our room faced on a busy street - the combination of sound-proof windows and exterior shutter completely muffled any stree sound. The hotel is located a short walk from Napoli Centrale train station and is surrounded by small streets and alleys which give a real sense of Naples - and still felt very safe. If I ever return to Naples I will try to stay here again

Nothing - was vey satisfied

Second visit to Hotel Ares in a year --> almost like returning home. Simone and Orlando was as gracious and helpful as always. Hotel location is exceptional --> we walked almost everywhere we wanted to visit. Equally accessible to Napoli Centrale train station and Naples subway (Duomo station.)

In-hotel breakfast is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance/upgrades but we received vouchers for a cafe/bar just down the street.

we wanted somewhere cheap and easy to reach and sightsee from (including going to pompeii/Herculean) the location is excellent, close to the old town and station but without being in the hectic and noisy part of the old town. we arrived at 1am so luckily we could still check in, in part this was why we also chose this, and we could leave luggage before heading off to our next destination. staff were great it was good value for money but honestly i would not bother with the breakfast

the shower is really small, we were two ladies so wasnt a problem but a big guy would struggle, also whilst set back from the road it was a little noisy, just meant we couldnt open the window to sleep. but all in all we wanted a safe and clean place to stay to do lots of sight seeing, we merely slept in the room.

Very good value for a great location, not far from the old town and also close to train stations. Good selection at breakfast. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, with many recommendations on places to eat, taking trains, taxis, etc.

The rooms are a little on the small side but this is expected for an inner city hotel. A shower door rather than curtain would be recommended but not essential! Breakfast coffee not great.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, they told me what I can see in the local area and always greeted me with a smile.

I didn't know what to expect in Napoli really. The location is close to the old part of the city and Spanish quarters which is charming but also it a place where there is lots of graffiti and rubbish. Not around the hotel just the surrounding areas. It was surprising for me.
