Hotel Il Gabbiano - Bacoli

If you are the type to stay out all night and party, the noise will not be a problem. We got no sleep and the staff was not helpful at all. I would not stay here again even though we lived only a few mile away and loved it. The only good thing was that it was a few miles from our friends in Cuma.

If you don't get to breakfast first it is all gone, very hard to find staff to get more.

Fantastic location on a hillside above the ancient Roman spa resort of Baiae; super view over gulf of Pozzuoli and close to the 'Tangenziale' autostrada. Main business seems to be functions which often involve music and/or fireworks up till about midnight, so don't even try and sleep early! We enjoyed the seafood served at the restaurant (mostly Italian clientele). My wife took advantage of massage at a spa that specialises in mud treatments (on a site that has signs of occupation back to 1st century AD!). For children we had to pay a modest supplement for camp beds in our very ample room; the portions in the restaurant were also too big for them.

Great room and view. However the main business of the hotel seemed to be weddings. Therefore we were often the only guests in the restaurant so it lacked atmosphere. Good value food though

Since there was every day a marriage celebration there was only little room for hotel guests ... Breakfast is typical italian (very poor) and between tables that were not ready. the bar was accessable but there was no place to sit and relax ...

Beautiful setting Good quality hotel

When we arrived they had only booked a room for 2 people and we needed one for 4 but they had another room available for 25 extra euros (so we thought)As we were using the internet the personnel behind the counter said they made a mistake in quoting that price actually it was going to be 50 extra euros. Overall the hotel was very nice and the view was worth the x-tra money.

This hotel is heavenly. The views are wonderful and the rooms quite spacious. A fireworks display for a wedding downstairs capped the evening. It was delightful. The staff was good to us, as our italian is somewhat halting.
