Il Ventre di Napoli Broggia in Naples

Service 2/10 - Room 6/10 - Location 10/10
Great location, nice building but run down and needs a refurb. Service was poor, 20 euros extra for a late check in (19:00) as they have no receptionist and must make someone travel there… + extra tax (even though I paid tax through here) without a receipt given…. Not great after handing over just shy of 50 euros…Room had a lot of damage, holes in wall and ((soap tray ripped off in bathroom…. ??) such a shame as it could be fantastic.

This is a nice place and well located but I didn’t like the policy of paying 20 euros for arriving after 6pm. I travel quite a bit and have never seen this before and the fee is way too high for no reason. During my arrival in Naples while I was in the subway on my way to the hotel I was also getting text messages from the front desk saying that if I didn’t arrive soon they would have it as a “no-show” and I thought that was totally out of place too. So besides charging a ridiculous amount they sill feel the right to pressure the guest? Quite unfortunate because the place is nice and clean but this kind of policy is bad news.

Cozy With Some Side Glares
I personally think the stay was satisfactory only because we're a flexible couple who understands the struggle of the hospitality industry. Realistically? The shower and the toilet need to be fixed. ASAP. Additionally, they need to expand their wifi signal to be throughout the floor. It's not hard to install some access points or some nodes.

It was clear that B&B's are not welcome in Naples. That made me uncomfortable a bit.

The room itself was very spacious and almost clean.
The bedsheets were clean but the cover over the sheets was dirty. Unfortunately in the evening there was no one there to ask for another cover.
They took the taxes for the kids, too. But kids under the age of 15 don’t have to pay this tax. So we payed 12€ too much.
The person that was in charge in the morning, was not able to speak any language, no English, no Italian…
So we tried to show him the problems with the cover and the bathroom. It was clean, but the shower itself was so dirty, there was mold all over. Everything was completely calcified. The shower needs a really good cleaning!
The sink drain was blocked.
But as I wrote before, the person seemed not to be interested and nothing happened.
At least it was cheap and as we stayed only two days, so we managed.
The area is great, you are near the Metro and the City is so near you can walk.
If you need a parking, I recommend the PARCHEGGIO NUOVO FERRARIS, they were friendly and the price was only 24€/day. It is near the Garibaldi Metro Station.
I hope that the deficiencies are remedied, then I would be very happy to come back again.
It really could be a very great B&B!
