8.6Verified guest“For food lovers, this is heaven. A short stroll gets you to Antico Forno delle Sfogliatelle Calde Fratelli Attanasio for incredible pastries, and Pizzeria da Mimi is a cozy spot with explosive flavors. My Superior Room with its high ceiling and comfy bed was perfect after a day exploring Naples.”
