Location provided a beautiful view of the ruins and easy access. Staff lovely and professional. Breakfast was substantial in their fourth floor dining room overlooking the ruins, with a good variety of cheeses, cold cuts, breads, yogurt, pastries, and more. There's a nice little pizza shop with gelato too next door, and a bank with an ATM is just a few feet away. The grocery store Carrefour is about 12 minutes away on foot. If you go to the main train station and buy a Campania Artecard Lite from the information desk to the left as you go in, you get access to lots of sights in the Campania region for only €26. Ample gated parking is around the corner behind the hotel. There was a kettle in the room, with two teacups and two tea bags. The minibar fridge had room for a few of our things. We had two-pin adapters, which worked in the bathroom outlet. It seems like the three-pin adapters would be better for the outlets by the bed.

One of the beds was hard. The water was off for a few hours due to a plumbing problem, but it was repaired by the time we got back to the hotel.

The staff are wonderfully friendly and our bedroom was beautifully clean and comfortable as were the communal areas. Breakfast every morning had a great choice and some beautifully baked cakes, again we were welcomed by lovely staff. It was a little disappointing that our balcony had no chairs to sit on and was quite grubby due to scaffolding work being put up all over the hotel which we weren’t told about beforehand, as we chose a room with a balcony because we like to sit out of an evening it was a shame, also we were promised views of the ancient ruins and Vesuvius whereas we had views of scaffolding and trees, although you couldn’t get much closer to the ancient ruins. That being said I would definitely recommend this hotel or location, staff friendliness, cleanliness and location.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel del Sole. It is a small, modern hotel just steps from the quieter entrance to Pompei. Close to the modern town of Pompei, with many restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms were spacious, clean and confortable. We had a small balcony with views up to the hills. Breakfast was great, both hot and cold food, as well as delicious home made cakes and pastries. Wonderful views from the breakfast room of Vesuvius, with glimpses of the amphitheatre and Palestra in Pompei. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. There is a nice restaurant in the hotel, and we had very good, reasonably priced pizzas there. All in all, thoroughly recommended

Nothing

The hotel was excellently situated for the site of Pompeii but it is also close to both train stations which makes getting out and about really easy. The breakfast was amazing and always freshly prepared. The staff were only too happy to help with any request you had.

This is going to sound really picky and I should have mentioned it when we were there but, the floors were not swept daily, the shower door seal was broken and the tray for the kettle did not have a plug close enough to use it safely.

We had an amazing 3 nights with Hotel Del sole. We booked it as a base to stay and tour the area and felt it was perfect for us. Close to the ruins, pompeii town, and about 10 minutes walk to each train station, it was exactly what we wanted. From checkin until we left, everything was just perfect! We found all of the staff very helpful and had positive interactions with everyone we encountered. Reception staff were especially helpful with train times, booking taxis and information to ensure our visit ran smoothly. Breakfast each morning had plenty of choices, cereals, fruit, yoghurts, breads, eggs, bacon, cold meats, cheese, pastries, juicrs and great coffee, everything you would want to set up for a busy day exploring the area. We had a balcony room at the front of the hotel overlooking the ruins. It was spotless clean with everything we needed. We had a delicious dinner in the restaurant with a great selection of food and wines, the staff were really helpful with choosing dishes and accompanying wines. The owner or manager was really lovely and checked in with everyone visiting for breakfast each morning to see if we were enjoying their stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel for couples or families. We are already planning a return visit with our grandchildren. Well done, and thank you!we found no negatives during our sysy

We liked everything during our stay

Friendly staff, some one always at the front desk for help. Location right at entrance of Pompeii ruins (there are multiple entrances) Easy short walk to the train station (Pompeii/Santuario station) to Herculaneum/Napoli. Lots of food options right outside and enjoyable to walk around in the evening. Great selection for breakfast. The view from the breakfast room on the 4th floor overlooking the ruins and Mt. Vesuvio was great.

I was traveling solo, so it was OK, but the room would be rather tight for two. Maybe pick a larger room for two people.

The location was perfect for visiting Pompeii, a 2min walk to one of the entrances, and close to the shops/restaurants of the town. The rooms were spacious, clean and fairly modern. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the lady at breakfast! The view of Vesuvius from the restaurant is brilliant too!

The breakfast was fine but could have easily been much better. They need a better coffee machine (horrible coffee and almost always broken anyway), could provide some fresh sliced fruit and a better selection of meats and cheese (when the selection in Italy is so good!!)

We went to this hotel for a 3 day trip to Pompeï. The location of the hotel was incredible. The people at the reception are always greeting you with a smile. The breakfast room is on the top floor, which gives you a marvellous view of the ruins of Pompeï. The entrance of Pompeii is practically across the street from the hotel. And if you want to eat, I recommend you go to the reception and enter the Varnelli restaurant. We have eaten there 2 evenings, and it was perfect both times.

I believe the hotel should do some small repairs. Our balcony wasn't looking the safest, and there was some rust in the bathroom.

The room decor in the superior suite was amazing. The view was also exceptional. The staff, service and food in the adjoining restaurant were 10/10.

The cleanliness left a bit to be desired. Also, whilst my balcony did have 2 chairs, the three along the same floor did not. One room had 1 chair, the other two none. Breakfast was sad looking and bland. If you’re a tea drinker take your own teabags as they were unexciting bordering on undrinkable. Overall a really great stay but I would say go out for breakfast.

The staff were amazing. They were all very friendly and accommodating. Our luggage was delayed and when it finally arrived they immedately brought it to our room. They were able to provide a map that had a supermarket and mall highlighted so we could find temporary clothing and essentials. The food provided for breakfast had a good variety and there were staff running a coffee bar, as well as clearing tables promptly. The Cafe looks out onto the necropolis of Pompeii. The prefect view for a cappucino and cornetto!

I honestly have no complaints except for the smokers that populate Italy. That's not the hotel's fault though! (oh, and the parrot... the restraunt downstairs has a parrot. It is vocal. lol)
