Pompei Grande Palestra Hotels

"Incredible stay with very welcoming hosts. Highly recommended!"

"They have the most convenient location in Pompeii unless you want a greater variety of restaurants in easy reach. Very nice place but the breakfast was a bit crowded at rush hour. "

"I stayed in the balcony room and it was terrific. The view was great the room was cute. They were kind enough to bring me a mattress pad because the bed is firm. It's a short walk to the ruins with some good shops between. It's not fancy but it's very nice for a short stay ."

"Staff were excellent - Grazie"

"This property offers amazing views. Its charm and preserved heritage steal your heart. The staff are warm and welcoming. They gave us a gift upon departure. The property is very secure. Your access code is needed for the gate, building and room so make sure you have cellular access to receive the code information in advance. The roads and parking are tight but worth the climb. "

"Our room was okay (Classic Room). No hot drink making facilties in the room. Shower was very low powered. Breakfast was good in a nice airy room. Outside terrace lovely in amongst lemon trees. Good location for Pompeii and train stations for getting to other popular destinations "

"Nice hotel. Amazing breakfast and fantastic views from the roof top Terrace. Sadly there was building work going on in the room next to us which disturbed us a little first thing (and the maid tried to enter the room to clean it two hours before check out which was a little odd). Would still stay again as it was perfect for a visit to the town. "

"The room was in great condition, clean, overlooking the gulf and across from Mount Vesuvius. The bathtub was heavenly, staff was friendly and spoke English well enough for us to converse. We booked here for the views and the idea that we would easily be able to get to the train station in Castellammare di Stabia via the offered shuttle. Here are the cons. The listings indicate that there is a shuttle to the train station during scheduled times and at request but apparently that is closed during the offseason so we paid about $40/day for a taxi to take us 2 miles each way. The breakfast buffet with the same thing each day. Communication with the hotel prior to our arrival was difficult, emails going unanswered and then not including requested information. Booking through Expedia doesn't allow you to log in to the hotel booking directly to add anything on to your reservation and doing so separately didn't result in getting what was requested. We visited in February, knowing that it is the off season and some things would not be available to us, however, many things were not mentioned that would be closed during this time. The outdoor pool was closed, and that was well advertised, but you would think it would be covered or at least not green and slimy looking. The excursions they can assist with don't exist in winter either. With a nearly empty resort and many amenities unavailable at this time, you would think they would have upgraded our room or something."

"Very kind staff "
