Hotel Diana Pompei - Pompei

8.4

Great location just a minute's walk from the regional train station and a 10 minute stroll to the archaeological site. The information sent by the hotel with directions on how to find them was invaluable because the train personnel in Naples were not helpful. Very helpful and nice English speaking staff. Breakfast was plentiful if the selection was a bit limited. The room was small but clean and quiet. The bed was a bit uncomfortable.

8.9

A very nice hotel in a great area. The staff makes this place. We were late in arriving and they waited for us. Great recommendations for dinner and helpful for other directions. Only critique was the mattresses. They were a very hard foam type.

8.1

Room was extremely clean. Bathroom very large. Breakfast was adequate, though we were not aware that there was a charge for each cappuchino after the first one! Therefore were surprised when we saw those tacked onto the bill.We were not happy with the so called "Patio" that was accessible from our room.(We were on the ground floor.)It would have been nice if it had been enclosed with latice work or something to keep it private from the street.However the staff was really sweet and helpful with directions to everything we needed and were always friendly. I loved staying in Pompeii, and Hotel Diana was within walking distance to the ruins, to the train station(5 min away!) and to the whole town in general. We loved the stay.

9.7

This an excellent hotel if you want to visit the ruins at Pompei. It is only a 10 minute level walk to one of the gates. I would be very happy to stay here again. The service from the reception area was warm and helpful and the room while quite small was otherwise very comfortable. Top value for money.

9.9

The all young staff are very kind. Their hospitality is the best quality. So, I could enjoy staying at this hotel. The location is also the best, just near the station and the bus stop. I could easily walk to the Pompei ruins.

8.3

Good value for money hotel very close to railway station and an easy walk to both the ruins and centre of town. Friendly helpful staff.

9.9

Totally recommend this hotel, very nice and clean with very friendly staff, good spoken English (got good tips for trips, food etc.), nice and rich breakfast. Very close to the centre and also to the ruins. We had lovely stay there and would return anytime....

8.4

The wonderful staff is what made this hotel. It also has a nice garden in which to relax after a long day at the ruins. The room was small but very clean.

9.9

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. From the moment I walked through the door, they made me feel completely at home. Nadia at the front desk did a superb job with suggestions and directions, and seemed genuinely concerned one day when I wasn't feeling well. Sonia, in the evenings, was also extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations. Everyone on the staff seemed very happy with life, which is a tribute to the owners. I encountered Nadia on a train and she said several times, "I love my job!" It showed. The room was sparklingly clean and the breakfasts had fewer selections than some hotels, but the croissants were delicious, the fruit fresh and the cappuccino about the best I've had. It was lovely to have breakfast in the garden. There are good restaurants in the area. In particular, I recommend La Situla around the corner and Il Principe on the square. The location, just across from the train station, is excellent for arrival, departure and day trips to Naples or Paestum. For Herculaneum, the Circumvesuviano is about a 5 minute walk, as the ruins themselves. Overall, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Many thanks to all!

10

All of the staff working at the front desk were extremely helpful to us. We decided to visit the ruins at both Pompei and Herculaneum. They gave us accurate information about the trains to Herculaneum, and very useful suggestions about what order to do our touring of the both sites. They also gave us great recommendations for restaurants in the area.

10

Excellent place to stay, great location, really friendly and helpful staff. I would stay there again. Great value for money.

8.8

hotel undergoing some renovation so elevator/lift was not available (appeared to be nearly finished). no noise at all until 8 AM so not a problem at all. hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. rooms were neat and updated. great location, good value, decent breakfast room downstairs as well. would stay at again.

7.9

The hotel constitutes a kind of "oasis" in the middle of Pompei. It is a quiet and nice place at a short distance of the ruins, and the employees are really nice people.

8.7

Good location for walking to the Pompei ruins. Free off-street parking in the hotel's courtyard available.

8.7

This was a great location for visiting Pompei. We liked being so close to the train station and able to walk all around town after our tour. The staff at the hotel was very welcoming and helpful. A good stay for us!

8.3

Très bon hôtel. Personnel très charmant et accueillant. A recommander

9.4

we found this hotel on the tripadvisor site, where it was highly rated. we were not disappointed. The hotel was in a great location, 10 minutes walk from the Pompeii ruins entrance. The receptionist spoke good English and made us welcome. rooms were bright and airy and the location is central yet quite, as it is up a dead-end side street.

8.1

Gutes familiengeführtes Hotel, in dem man sich wohlfühlen kann.

8.1

Pequeño hotel de dos plantas (en julio de 2009 en proceso de ampliación) muy acogedor y confortable. Habitaciones limpias y agradables. Pequeña terraza exterior muy acogedora y tranquila. El personal del hotel extremadamente amable. Buffet de tipo continental correcto. Merece la pena alojarse en el hotel. Está bien situado con respecto a la entrada principal del yacimiento arqueológico, de la Cirumvesuviana y de la estación de ferrocarril (30 metros) La única pega que no hay ascensor aunque cuentan con habitaciones en la planta baja.

9.6

Première visite à Pompéi, premier contact avec l'hôtel. Tout a été parfait ! Les jeunes femmes à l'accueil parlent plusieurs langues et sont très proches des clients.Toujours prêtes à renseigner et conseiller. Bref, un les commentaires sur le web qui m'ont amené à le choisir ne m'ont pas déçus. A recommander !!!

10

great motel. got a great recommendation for a good restaurant so had a lovely meal that night. would stay here again. The main train station is very close (only 50 meters or so) and the other one isn't that far either (maybe 500 meters).

9.4

This was lovely. The staff were so helpful and the rooms immaculate. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It deserves all the awards it receives!

8.9

Esercizio a conduzione familiare, semplice, tranquillo e grazioso Simpatia e disponibilità del personale a venire incontro alle esigenze dei clienti

9.9

Hotel Diana Pompeii was in a great location; 1 block to the train and town center and a short walk to the ruins. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was a great hotel at a super price. I would stay at Hotel Diana Pompei again and would recommend to my family and friends.

9.9

From the moment we walked in we felt like family at the Hotel Diana. The staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasent. When we were not seeing the sights, we spent our time in the lovely gardens drinking cappuccinos or sipping wine from the well stocked bar. Nadia was very helpful with everything. She helped us with our meager Italian and even spoke with the manager of the Villa we were renting in Praiano to see if we could check in early. We were a party of six women and Nadia knew our names after only two nights. I've stayed at 5 star Hotels that could not hold a candle to Hotel Diana.

9.2

Excellent hotel. Staff the best we have ever met. Nothing was too much for them and they were always pleasant. Their recommendations for meals out were spot on. Peppino five minutes away, excellent meals and wine. Breakfast fresh and cappucino appreciated! Would recommend this hotel highly. Location to train station was brilliant, very easy to find.

10

Extremely friendly staff. Bilingual or more. Very convenient location. Would return anytime. Clean and new. Safe parking.

8.7

Right from booking on line the staff were friendly and helpful. They sent good instructions on how to get there using public transport and suggestions for attractions to see. Our welcome at the hotel was lovely. The room was clean and modern. The ensuite was adequate, a trifle small for my husband. Every day they helped us with where to go and how to get there as well as suggesting places to eat in the evening. They willingly organised a guide for our visit to the excavations. The receptionists spoke very good English. The continental breakfast was lovely and fresh. The gardens were a delight to sit in. Altogether a lovely hotel.

9.4

Hotel staffs are all very cheerfull and helpful. They have responded to all my inquiries. Only one information was not correct. Bus service from Pompei scabi (at exit near Casa del Miseri) is mot exactly near the exit, whih is almost 1km from the exit located the station of circumvesbiana. Thus we had finally take taxi which costed 15 Euro. Other were OK.

9.9

Great hotel. Staff was very helpful. Great garden behind the hotel to relax in. Breakfast was awesome. Room was very spacious and clean. Directions on which train to catch from Naples could be improved. Employees at Naples train station were not much help. Tickets and train are down the stairs in the center of the train station.

9.7

Very welcoming and helpful; charming facility in a good location

5.5

Very noisy, near a bar, street noise interupted our sleep several times.

9.6

Upon our arrival we were greeted by a lovely young lady, Sonia who had a wonderful smile. She and her sister Amy picked up all our bags and carried them upstairs saying, "we might be little but we are strong". The owner, Emiddia welcomed us with beautiful roses and a lovely smile. Every morning Louigi greeted us with Cappuccino and tea. The employees of this hotel could not have nicer or friendlier. The outside patio was delightful with the beautiful orange and lemom trees with sago palms. Everything was just perfect and we will definitely stay there again. There is nothing better then a family owned hotel.

9.9

Excellent. Very closed to the historical area, with parking, closed also to the town and the railway station. Perfect

6.0

Perfectly adequate hotel for one or two nights in Pompei, seemed a bit overpriced for what it was. Helpful, English speaking staff. Fairly quiet, but dull location. Pompei itself is not worth staying in except for the ruins. Very handy for the main-line railway station. 15 mins from the entrance to the ruins, 10 mins from the Circumvesuviana station.

8.4

Very nice family-hotel with very friendly and helpful employees. Perfect near to train station, orange-trees in the garden, private parking space. Rooms nice colourful and large enough for 4 persons. You can easily walk into Pompei city and to the cavities. Good place to see the Amalfi-coast, the Vesuvius and Naples!!

9.0

Accueil adorable et souriant de tous les membres qui font leur possible pour être agréables et efficaces. Hotel très bien situé par rapport au site et à la gare des trains de Pompéi. Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux( croissants frais et capuccino mousseux à souhait !)

10

Staff was incredibly kind and helpful! Perfect for visiting Pompeii and Vesuvius. Would definitely stay here again.

8.6

The Hotel Diana is a great place to stay for anyone wishing to visit the Pompei ruins. It's just a 5 minute easy walk to the center of town and the ruins. The staff was very freindly and they have a lovely area outside with orange and lemon trees to sit and have afternoon tea. We have a 10 and twelve year old and they had fun picking the fruit.

9.7

I thoroughly enjoyed the Hotel Diana - especially the lovely Sonia on reception. My bag got lost by my airline and Sonia and others went to incredible lengths to try to get it back for me. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The location was great, breakfast was good and the my room was immaculate. Would highly recommend this hotel.

9.8

Breakfast croissants were great! The staff helped us with our plans to sightsee and had excellent information for bus times, etc. Overall a very nice stay.

10

We enjoyed our stay here very much, and if we had a chance, we would stay here again!

10

One of my favorite hotel stays in Italy, so close to train station, Pompeii, and good restaurants. The breakfast was excellent, fresh croissants and made to order cappucino and hot chocolate. Have recommended to friends traveling in southern Italy.

9.9

A family owned and run establishment---very friendly staff. The rooms were clean and the location excellent, especially since we arrived via train and only walked half a block to the hotel. Staff provided us with the names of excellent restaurants and gladly train and bus instructions. Will stay there again next time I go to Pompei.

8.8

All the staff who run this hotel are so welcoming and helpful!

9.8

We were four adult in a quadruple and it functioned very good but on internet I coouldn´t see that is should be 2 adult and 2 childre. Very nice hotel, good staf who helped with good restaurant, very good breakfast. Choose it if you are going top Pompei!

9.6

Attracted by the high rating on Venere, I am glad to report that it is every bit as good as the reviewers said. The staff are truely magnificent and could teach many hotels a lesson. Friendly, welcoming, conscientious, eager to offer advice, they obviously care passionately about good service, with personal touches like remembering which coffee you liked. They can't do enough for you, and I can't praise them highly enough. Within walking distance of the ruins, railway stations and restaurants. An excellent modestly priced option to see Pompei and avoid the bustle of Naples.

8.5

When we booked, we received a nice message to feel us welcome already despite the fact that we were still in Aust6ralia. A nice touch. We arrived by car at 10 pm following instructions received from the hotelwhich were clearly spelt out. It was a wet night and we were so glad to have arrived. The care and attention by the receptionist (forgotten her name, sorry) was exceptional. She was also on duty the next morning to provide us with further excellent service e.g. breakfast, umbreallas and directions to Pompei etc. The hotel is very close to the site. We walked and were allowed to leave our car parked in the hotel grounds. I highly recoomed this hotel.

9.6

Extremely welcoming, friendly front desk staff. A thoroughly enjoyable stay! The tasteful but bold modernist decor and colour schemes are clever, delightful and interesting. A breath of fresh air after the conservative conventions of other hotels visited. The proprietor and his architect and designer show courage and talent.

9.8

Fully deserve all the comments of other visitors. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I would have liked tea and coffee making facilities in my room but hotel staff were always happy to make tea on request. Would definitely come back here. Ideal for visiting the ruins, but Pompei itself is a delightful small town. Internet quite expensive in hotel, though conveniently available.

8.8

Very convenient to the train station - literally across the road, no taxis required. Other tourist hotels are right next to the Pompeii site and therefore in the tourist catchment zone. Hotel Diana is close enough however to walk to the Pompeii site. A great base for exploring Pompeii and the other archeological sites in the area. Worth spending more than a day at Pompeii so you can take train to other sites.

8.6

Very friendly and helpful staff...they told us where to go to eat and other needs we had. Rooms are comfortable and efficient. Great location, just across the street from the train station and within walking distance of Pompeii ruins. Would definitely come back and stay there!

9.7

A nice and comfortable hotel, a short walk from the archeological site at Pompeii. There's a fantastic information office nearby too (near the Piazza) with very helpful staff and a lot of information about Pompeii, Capri and great Campania. The service provided by the staff at Hotel Diana was exceptional - the day we were due to leave Pompeii, a public transport strike had been called. We were concerned about making it to our next destination on time, and when we expressed this to the staff they offered to take us to our train station at no extra charge! Amazing.

9.9

My wife and I stopped at h.Diana Oct 2008. Family hotel wonderful experience,best we have stayed in europe.1st class service english speaking,friendly,helpful staff.Lovely breakfasts in the garden.Great location for transport and sites.The score says it all. Many Thanks

9.5

Parking facility in the garden.

9.7

I would highly recommend Hotel Diana Pompei to anyone looking for a spotlessly clean, friendly and moderately priced place to stay in Pompei. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. If you have a car at your disposal this location would be a perfect base to explore not only Pompei but also Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and even Capri. We found Pompei to be a clean, vibrant city with reasonably priced restaurants and bars (as long as one stays away from the touristy places near the ruins).

7.6

Very helpfull and nice staff. Located near Pompei Church and 15 minutes from archeological site.

10

This place is terrific in terms of location. The hosts are friendly and very helpful to point out the different sites to see and making arrangements for tours to the Amalfi coast. Our only problem was not knowing what FFSN meant when we got off in Naples and no one else knew so we took a local train which left us in the center of town, not far but without directions from that train to the hotel we went in a large circle and finally called the hotel for assistance. They steered us right to them.

8.8

Only criticism is that the reception staff were not aware of the European Culture Weekend and sold us a Arte Card whereas entrance was free on 2 of the 3 days.

9.2

The staff was incredible helpful. The train connections are good, but the various train stations were a bit confusing at the beginning. Would definitly stay again.

9.0

The hotel is close to the main train station and a short walk to the Cathedral and the ruins of Pompei. But, it was staff who really made the stay memorable - they couldn't do enough for us, from putting our food (and beer) in the kitchen refrigerator to looking up train times and museum opening times for the Archeological Museum in Naples. They all (especially Nadia) greeted us with a smile and hello every time we came in the door or down the stairs and really made us feel that we were very welcome guests.

9.8

The staff at this hotel were all extremely accomadating and made the stay that much more enjoyable. They were very happy to help with the many questions we had and never failed to answer with a smile. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Pompei.

9.7

The staff was extremely helpfull and took care of all of our needs. They all spoke very good english and gave us a map and great directions to ever place we wanted to go. They also suggested some great sopts to check out as well as resturants. It is extremely close to 2 railway stations and walking distance to the ruins. I would highly recommend it for the price.

9.9

The Diana was a great pleasure! Nice room, nice garden for breakfast and above all, centrally located in the town and staffed by extermely attentive and knowledgable young women at the front desk. The front desk help went above and beyond the call to make us welcome. The young woman who checked us in at 8 PM quickly arranged for a contact at a nice local restaurant to come meet us and drive us to dinner. The young woman who was working at the desk the following morning arranged complementary tickets to visit the ruins in the day and attend the sound and light show there (the last of the season) that evening. In addition, as we were traveling to Pompei from a week at a cottage in Sicily and had some local cheese and vegetables with us, they put these in their refrigerator and prepared them for us as an accompaniment to the hotel's own buffet breakfast! The Diana is a family operation, and they treated us like family too. Well done!!!

9.6

Lovely bright clean small hotel. Staff were very helpful and spoke good english.Breakfast nice but limited. Fresh capuchino/ hot chocolate/ coffee provided to order. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Pompeii seemed rather run down, but the hotel was a little oasis where we cold leave our hire car under the garden trees while spending the day at the ruins.Very close to the station, but a good twenty minutes walk to the main ruins entrance where the audio guides are. Pompeii is massive. Also cafe inside was closed - NO REFRESHMENTS INSIDE AT ALL except drinking water taps. Thank goodness for an enterprising adjoining cafe who had cut a hole in the wire fence near the House of the Mysteries and who did not overcharge either!

9.8

The staff was very friendly. The location was within a few hundred feet of the train station so was quite convenient. Also very convenient to the Pompei ruins. Nice place. Would definitely stay there again.

9.8

Excellent location. 2 min. walk from train station, 15 min. walk to archeological site, large selection of restaurants and cafes within a 5 min. walk. Hotel is clean, lots of marble used in decor. Rooms are a bit small, but are bright, clean with comfortable beds and air conditioning. Bathroom was nicely decorated and very clean. Staff of this small, family-run hotel was very friendly and helpful at all times. They helped us figure out the many options available to get to and climb Mt. Vesuvius. Breakfast buffet was a bit limited in selection, but food was very good. Note - esp. to families with children - even with help of hotel staff, our search for a place to do laundry was unsuccessful. There may be one place, but it was closed for vacation - try to arrive with clean clothes. Also, BEWARE OF THE STRAY DOGS. My 10 year old daughter was bitten by one as we climbed Mt. Vesuvius. We met a young boy on the climb who had also been bitten and required a trip to the hospital. There are stray dogs everywhere in the area and they appear docile but as we learned, sometimes are not.

8.6

En particulier un service très aimable et très compétent. Pas d'ascenseur. Fruits frais au petit déjeuner, possibilité de le prendre sur la terrasse.

8.7

Nice small hotel only a few minutes walk from the archeological site of Pompei. Very nice garden. Very friendly and helpful staff.

7.9

The hotel was easy to find, just a short walk from the train station, giving very easy access to the Pompei ruins by foot and was also convenient for Herculaneum (short ride on the train). The staff were extremely helpful and their English was excellent. Although a little basic the breakfast was of a very good quality.

9.2

We stayed 5 nights in Pompei, in a triple room (two adults, one child). The service was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating - we got lots of good local information from them. The location of the hotel is great, only one street from the main FS train station in Pompei.

9.5

The service recieved at Diana Pompeii was the best during our 2 week holiday in Italy. We reached the hotel quite tired after a day of sight seeing in Rome and travelling by train to Naples and then Pompeii (the Naples train station is a bit confusing, so rather ask than rely on notices). However, our welcome at Diana Pompei was so friendly and welcoming we felt better. The staff are very friendly with recommending good restaurants, so if you are in the mood for some really good food or even good pizza or a light meals make record of the restaurants or pizzerias recommended. The hotel is close to the train station (50 m) but we were not distrubed by the noise. The hotel is also walking distance to the ruins. The rooms are clean and the hotel is quite modern. A wonderful place.

7.7

A destacar el trato del personal del hotel, son encantadores y muy eficientes. El hotel estaba muy limpio y está reformado pero la habitación nuestra era muy pequeña con un baño enano y tenía poco que ver con las fotos que aparecen en Venere llevé un poco de dececpción con eso. Es un hotel silencioso. El desayuno correcto aunque después de leer el comentario de alguien que recomendaba el zumo de las naranjas del desayuno, supuestamente de las naranjas del jardín, siento decirle que el zumo era de brick jajaja. Tuvimos un problema a la hora de pagar porque días antes de hacer nuestro viaje nos descontaron el precio de la habitación, una vez allí tuvimos que volver a pagarla y ya en España reclamamos el importe que se nos devolvió enseguida. Por lo demás lo recomiendo sin problemas.Está caminando unos 10 minutos de la entrada a las ruinas de Pompeya y a 3 minutos de la estación circumvesubiana.

9.8

The Hotel Diana was one of the loveliest places we stayed on our rcent trip to Italy. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming, and a mine of information on ANYTHING you want to know about the local area. The availability of freshly made coffee throughout the day, and the charming terrace in the garden, surrounded by orange trees was fantastic. You can also buy dinner makings and eat them here. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pompei and the Diana was a home away from home. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere away from the frenetic activity that is Naples. The hotel is located in a little side street a matter of metres from the main rail station - so convenient for excursions to many places, and very quiet at night.

9.1

VERY convenient for a Pompeii site visit. Our stay also allowed easy access to day trips to the Amalfi coast due to the easy access to the local train (train to Sorrento catching a bus or ferry to Positano/Amalfi). This offered an excellent way to enjoy the water, see the coast, and have lunch/dinner in the coastal towns. Good restaurants in Pompeii at a good price. Very friendly staff eager to please with helpful hints to enhance your vacation. Beautiful quiet garden in back among orange trees provided a restful place for drinks and cards after our day trips. Rooms were adequate size for two, with good storage, a smallish bathroom and a small shower. Rooms were nicely furnished and very quiet and clean. We recommend this over day trips from Naples any time, and we would stay here again.

9.1

I loved this hôtel. It was very well situated, modern, colorfull and the staff was very pleasant. It is near the archeological site and if I had a advice to give, it would be to try and stay at this hôtel for a few days, while you visit the surroundings (Vésuve, Pompei site, Herculanum site, Napoli, Sorrento, Capri). The hôtel is situated at a 30 seconds walk from the train station and it is very easy to reach all these cities and sites by train from there.

9.1

We were on our honeymoon and arrived in our super-clean room to find a homemade card, a red rose, and some sweets. A lovely touch! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the little orange orchard outside was a pretty place to sit for breakfast. The hotel is very close to the train station, which was handy, and also within walking distance of one of the entrances to the ruins (there are several; only one has the audioguide for rent - the Porta Marina). By the way, if you want to see the plaster casts of the bodies at Pompeii, be sure to ask exactly where they are at the entrance gate! There aren't many to be seen, and the city ruins are HUGE - be prepared for a lot of walking. The Hotel Diana was great - we would recommend it to anyone.

10

Hotel Diana Pompei was our favorite lodging experience during our 2 weeks in Europe. The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. They were most encouraging of my efforts to speak Italian and went out of their way to be sure that my family and I were comfortable. The room was decorated in an upbeat style, with a very tasteful use of bold colors. The continental breakfast was delicious, beginning with a cappuccino freshly made by the staff and brought to our table. We discovered that the hotel is family-owned and that several of the staff members are also family members. We got to meet Grandma, Dad, Daughter and Son, all delightful people! Although one day at the ruins was enough for me, I would have liked to have stayed longer just to enjoy the hotel. Oh, yes, there's also a beautiful yard/garden/patio with orange trees, tables, flowers and fresh fruit. As "icing on the cake" the Hotel Diana Pompei is located just 50 meters from the train station, on a small, side street.

9.7

Hotel Diana is a little gem in a wonderfully central place to stay in the region. Very close to the mainline Pompeii Station (5 mins max) and a 15 minute walk to one of the two Circumvesuviana stations. (Pompei Sanctuari) and maybe 30 minutes from the other station at Pompeii Scavi next to one of the entrances to the ruins. It's worth mentioing that the stations are all on different lines. The Hotel is beautifully appointed for a small hotel - very clean. The rooms are small, but adequate and very well furnished. Our bathroom was well equipped (modern) with a shower (no bath) but this was fine for us. Breakfast was very good with cerials, fresh rolls and croissants, butter, jams and fruit picked from the garden (an optional place to have breakfast) Coffee with an option for Cappucino served or tea and fruit juice. Best of all were the staff. Amongst the most attentive and friendly I have encountered in many years of travel with good English and a desire to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. It's no wonder this hotel gets such high marks - I would not hesitate to chose this hotel again if in area. It is B&B but there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. Only possible negative is that there was no lift but they are looking into this. They do help with bags.

9.4

We found the staff very helpful in particular the assistance of translation of English to Italian. They where also very helpful on our last day in picking up our laundry giving us a full day out. The only issue we had was not knowing that there were 2 train services to Pompei, one the National & the other the local. The hotel is closer to the National Line.

9.1

This was, without a doubt, one of the best values for money we've found in Western Europe and particularly in Italy. The staff is absolutely top-notch, from personally directing us to move our car from street parking to the hotel lot, to providing discounted entry, to the archaeological site, to helpful restaurant information. They always had smiles on their faces and were very professional and competent. While the rooms are sparse and the bed not the most comfortable, everything was in working order and the bed was adequate, and bathroom fine. When we missed breakfast, one was offered to us as we passed by the front desk on our way out. And we got water and sodas from the front desk for a nominal fee. All this for less than 100 Euros/night! Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend "La Situla" for dinner nearby.

8.9

Our first stay at Hotel Diana and we had a very good time. The staff was very friendly and assisted us with information on attractions and good eating places. Our reason for the visit was to see Pompei. If we come back to the region we will certainly stay at Hotel Diana.

9.9

This hotel was really nice! Close to the train station, it is really easy to join it! This place is quiet and relaxing. The people working there are making their best to make us confortable... We will go to this hotelif we come back to Pompei!

8.6

I had a welcoming personal email from the hotel as soon as I booked through the Venere.com website - reassuring that my booking was successful and that our late arrival was no problem. Hotel staff were very friendly - and helpful with restaurant suggestions and bus/train connections. The room and bathroom were nice and clean - decent size, quite colourful. Breakfast was the standard minimal breakfast you will find in Italian hotels - it was average, but sufficient - it is a shame the breakfast room is in the basement - as they do have a cute little garden with orange trees which would be a nicer location. The hotel is located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Pompeii station (there are two) - despite this I can only remember hearing one or two trains passing through during our 2 night stay so noise wasn't an issue. It is maybe 10mins walk to the main square with churches, were you catch the bus to Mount Vesuvius, and from the square it was 10-15min walk to Pompeii ruins (do take plenty of water and a sun hat and go in the afternoon - it is less busy and also not so hot! But it may mean that they have run out of maps by then...so have your own guidebook with you!). It is possible to do the Mount and the ruins in one day, as we did. I would recommend this hotel. The proximity to the station was a big plus with all the heavy luggage we had to carry.

9.7

Staff was energetic, attentive, and knowlegeable. They arranged a private guide for the ruins and transportation to the airport for us, no surprises, hotel is a good value, you will not be disappointed.

9.9

This place is excellent. If you go to Pompei this is were you need to stay. Staff is good, place is great. I recomend this place and will stay here again.

We stayed one night here when we visited the ruins at Pompei. Great location! We walked to ruins and all over town. But it's on a tiny back street so very quiet. Hotel staff was the best! Super helpful. Spoke perfect English which sure helped me with my very limited Italian. Have free parking which you don't find too many places. We would definitely stay there again.

Charming desk women gave us great welcome and terrific dinner recommendations. A beer under the orange trees was worth a thousand words. Staff is absolutely the friendliest and most helpful.

Booked this hotel after reading comments here - certainly lived up to the expectations. Perfectly located for the Ruins and Railway station. Rooms are bit small - but we didn't spend too much time there in any case. The Garden is lovely - but what really makes this Hotel stand out is the friendliness of the staff !

My sisters and I loved Hotel Diana! The hotel is, literally, 150 steps from the train station. The building was recently renovated, the rooms were clean, and the staff very accomodating. The breakfast was well stocked and delicious. The desk clerk gave us a map of the city, along with directions to the Pompei archaelogical site. We easily walked to the archaelogical site in 10 minutes. The desk clerk also recommended a nearby family run restaurant for dinner. I can't remember the name, but it was delicious! We appreciated the large portions after walking through the ruins for the entire afternoon! This hotel's excellent location, accomodating staff, and cleanliness should put it at the top of everyone's list!

We were only in Pompei for one night but our stay in Hotel Diana was terrific. The hotel is very close to the train station and all parts of Pompei. The hotel interior and rooms are very modern and pleasant. The staff and managers were helpful and friendly. Wish we planned to stay longer!

Staffs of Hotel Diana show us great hospitality. I want to stay there again. The restaurant "Osteria da Peppino", which is recommended by a hotel staff, is also good and it has reasonable prices. The location is very near to the station of TRENITALIA, and easy to find it.

Map locations throughout Italy are problematic due to the lack of street signs. This particular hotel is located on a narrow side street that is a bit difficult to find.
