Ranch Palace Hotel in Naples

We used this as a quick weekend away to visit Rome and Naples and so didn't use all the facilities. The hotel was good. We did not expect it to be so far out and taxis were expensive. So don't use this hotel if you want to be near the city centre. The bed was very hard but the room was clean and it was cleaned whilst we were out which was nice to come back to. The pool and facilities did look well kept though. My wife has a nut allergy and so breakfast was a bit limiting as most options contained nuts or looked like they probably would do.

The place was clean, but the breakfast was quite average as the croissants were burnt and there was no milk or bread, which are very basic breakfast items. There is parking available inside, but it fills up quickly. Another downside for me was that the pool closes too early in the afternoon.

We did our research and were fully aware of the location. It seems the hotel is used mainly by locals and travelling contractors. We used this hotel for one overnight stay prior to catching a flight from Naples after a holiday in Ischia. We booked the family suite room. Very spacious. The hotel was very clean. Staff friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and authentic. We had breakfast included, which was exactly as I would expect, pastries, yogurts and coffees. Swimming pool was available to use with no additional charges as per some reviews, you do however need to wear a swim cap for “hygiene” purposes if you’re dunking your head. These are an additional €3. Pool was clean, sun loungers were clean, some umbrellas needed changing. Do not use this hotel as your main holiday base unless you’re prepared to drive and not bothered about its location or facilities. It’s not central to Naples at all, and not the best area for an evening stroll. But would recommend if looking for an overnight stay. We took a taxi to the airport which cost €25, it was a 20min drive. The hotel displays a sign stating they do not book taxis but I think this maybe for longer stays? I didn’t have any problems from reception when I requested they book us a taxi on departure.

Nice, clean and large rooms.
Friendly staff, ready to help in any way.
Only breakfast must have more variety of food.
