Hotel Grillo Verde - Torre Annunziata

8.1

Room was fine except for noisy A/C.

9.2

This hotel was wonderful the staff were excellent, offering to drive us to the Pompei ruins and collect us when we were finished for no charge. The meals were fanatastic. What a great experience

7.4

A correct hotel to visit Pompei. Torre Annunziata staying a poor city not interesting.

7.3

The employees where realy kind and helpful.The bed was too hard. The breakfast had no fresh bread nor fresh juices, only packed sweets and a terrible "orange" juice. We didn't expect that in Italy where there is good bread and fruit.We had one excellent lunch wich was very good and abundant.

CITY TO AVOID ANY INTEREST TO STAY THERE GRILLO VERDE IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CITY SATY IN POMPEI SORRENTO OR NAPLES INSTEAD ANYTHING INTERESTING IN THE CITY

9.0

Great base to explore Naples and Pompei and Herculaneum etc. Pompei only about 4 km away. Secure car parking in grounds. Torre Annunziata itself is a bit of a wasteland - shabby and down at heel. Hotel close by to station also. Hotel restaurant provided a good evening meal. Breakfast excellent also - including great croissants!! Recommended to those travelling by car.

(see english text below) Wir hatten sieben Übernachtungen im Grillo Verde. Das Hotel hat uns gut gefallen, die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist gut, die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Der Straßenlärm wird durch die Fenster gut abgehalten. Wir haben fast jeden Abend im Hotelrestaurant gegessen und haben es nie bereut. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort übernachten. Einige Tips zur Umgebung: Pompeji ist ca. 2 Km entfernt und kann vom Hotel aus auch zu Fuß erreicht werden. Die Zufahrt zum Vesuv liegt im Nachbarort Torre del Greco, man kann mit dem Auto ca. 1000 Höhenmeter fahren, die letzten 300 Meter muß man allerdings zu Fuß gehen (die Seilbahn wurde vor 10 Jahren geschlossen). Die Küste der Bucht von Neapel ist praktisch eine einzige durchgehende Stadt, obwohl es auf der Karte nicht so aussieht, und sehr anstrengend zu fahren, wenn man z.B. Stabia und Sorrent besuchen möchte. Schwimmen im Meer ist dort praktisch nicht möglich, die Strände sind zu verschmutzt. Wer schwimmen möchte und ein Auto zur Verfügung hat, sollte z.B. nach Vietri sul Mare fahren (20 Minuten Fahrt auf der A3 Rtg. Salerno, Ausfahrt Vietri). ENGLISH TRANSLATION: We stayed for seven nights in the hotel Grillo Verde and enjoyed the hotel very much. The rooms are well equipped and very clean. The street noise was hold away in a sufficient manner when the windows were closed. We had dinner nearly every evening in the hotel restaurant and didn't never regret it. We would stay again in that hotel. Some hints: The distance to Pompeji is appr. one mile and can subsequently reached by feet. The access road to the Vesuv starts in the neighbor village (Torre del Greco). You can drive 1000 meters upward by car, but you must walk the last 300 meters to the top of that vulcano (the cable car was closed 10 years ago). The coast between Neapel and Sorrent is in reality one non-stop city, although it doesn't look so on the maps, and very stressful to drive in order to reach Stabia and Sorrent. Swimming in the

Bom hotel, facil de achar (se entrar pelo acesso sul).Fica bem perto de Pompéia e se estiver de carro, facil de chegar à costa Amalfitana.Estratégiamente um bom lugar para ficar,praticamenta em Nápoles.

7.1

Ein kleines , eigentlich sehr nettes Hotel mit freundlichem und hilfreichem Personal. Das Essen ist excellent. Wenn nur die Lage an einem stark befahrenen Kreisel nicht wäre. Wir würden es w. der o.g. Gründe trozdem empfehlen, Zimmer aber unbedingt nach hinten wählen. Der Standort zu Pompeji ( 2km ) und zum Vesuv ( unbedingt über die Autobahn, 1 Ausfahrt weiter ) ist sehr günstig. Sehr netter, hilfsbereiter inhaber. Wer wie wir mit dem Auto kommt , findet einen sicheren parkplatz im Hof.

9.3

très bel hôtel, propre et bien indiqué dans une ville où l'on se perd facilement. l'hotel offre l'avantage d'un parking gardé. trés bien situé, à 800m de Pompéi et à coté de la gare et de l'arrêt de bus. le restaurant offrait des plats typiques intersessants et peu chers. bon acceuil en génèral

6.4

Nearly only sweets for breakfast, quality of restaurant poor, mattress very hard, chief of the hotel very unfriendly, the rooms are clean, the hotel is conveniently placed as regards transport facilities

7.5

Great Restaurent food

8.6

The restaurant offer excellent food

6.7

Hotel fairly basic but fine for visit to Pompei. Room and meals perfectly adequate and very short walk from the station. Receptionist kindly gave us a lift to the ruins and we walked back (2-3kms). Town is rough but interesting local colour.

9.5

This was an excellent hotel to stay. The staff are friendly and kind. The food is fantastic. If you are using public transport you buy the bus tickets from the tobacconist. It is cheaper to buy tickets and transport for vesuvius and pompeii from the train station at pompeii which is right next to the ruins. Be carefully at night near the hotel, that wasn't a problem for us though as we had dinner at the hotel. The only area that would have improved our stay was the noisy people in the room next door, but this would certainly not prevent us from recomending this hotel or returning.

9.9

The staff at the Grillo Verde were wonderful! They went out of their way to help us arrange a day trip to the Amalfi Coast on a Sunday, no less. We had a great time!

8.8

The town of Torre Annunziata was something of a disappointment. Not much to do there in the evening. But the hotel itself is like a beautiful oasis in the town's main square. Its restaurant was first rate. The service was first rate. The rooms were very nicely designed and furnished and cool. And the owner was very helpful and accommodating. We left our car at the hotel and walked the 1.5 Km to the ruins at Pompeii. We'd stay there again.

9.6

Very good, pleasant, helpful and efficient staff. Don't be put off by not very pretty surroundings, the quality more than makes up for this, and the food and facilities are first-rate. Quite a hike from the Circumvesuviana trains, but lifts from hotel are freely available. Much closer to Torre Annunziato station on the Metropolitan service from Naples (about 100 metres).

6.7

On peut aller à pied visiter Pompei. TV5 en Français - Parking Petit déjeuner et restaurant tres corrects Sanitaires des chambres voisines un peu bruyants.

7.9

l'hotel est situé idéalement pour découvrir les environs de Naples. L'accueil est excellent,les repas et le petit déjeuner étaient parfaits et le personnel très prévenant,le propriétaire nous a emmené à la gare de Pompéi( circuit privé circumvesuvio) avec sa propre voiture et l'hotel est à 5mn à pied de la gare (voie ferrée nationale) qui permet d'aller à Naples en 20mn .Les chambres sont spacieuses, climatisées et bien isolées du bruit de la ville . Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et je recommande cet hôtel à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir les environs de Naples. Nous avons utilisé pour la première fois venere.com pour cette réservation et l'hotel répondait tout à fait à nos souhaits

9.8

Very enjoyable stay, hotel food good although for one meal soup arrived at same time as main courses and had to wait longer than we thought we should. Hotel handy for tourist sites and main roads. If you enjoy driving dangerously then Naples is just for you.

7.6

Big rooms, good food, helpful people & locked car park made our stay nice.

9.9

very good

9.1

An oasis of peace and tranquility in sometimes hectic Napoli area. Strategically located a few minuits by car to Pompei and half an hour to Vesuvio. Service is not very annoying but always in the right time and place to the right extent.

9.7

inquiet par la seule photo sur votre site mais ravi une fois devant l'hotel et surtout dans la chambre; hotel très propre avec un personnel très sympathique et toujours prêt à vous aider et vous conseiller

8.1

Generally good, a nice place which stood out in a somewhat dubious area, excellent food and staff went out of their wway to be helpful when we had a problem on our return stay

8.4

I was VERY pleased with my stay here. The staff was extremely helpful. He even drove us from the hotel to the pompeii ruins entrance in his personal car! at 9:00 p.m AND picked us up at 10:30 ! unbeleivably great :-) the room was very clean. the only problem I see is that the hotel is about 1 1/2 miles from the pompeii ruins. AND from the closest circumvesuviana station. (pompeii or torre annunziata). But the hotel staff more that made up for it :-) Would surely recommend it.

7.5

I liked the place. The people there were personable, and helpful. Since it is family owned, and operated, the general atmosphere was very relaxed, low-stress, and comfortable. This was one of the few hotels with well posted, visable signs that will lead you easily to their location. The surrounding community can be a bit tough to maneuveur to visitors, but the easily found, very affordable, very delicious food makes up for it (this area had some of the best food I had in all of Italy)! The hotel also offers an on-site resturant (which was quite good as well), postcards & books on the surrounding areas/tourist attrations in several different languages, coffee/spirits bar (a small one), a common TV viewing area, and internet access. I would stay there again. Not only for the fact that I was able to relax undisturbed, than for the food!

9.2

This is a pleasant three-star hotel offering excelent value-for-money. It is located within 300 metres of one of Torre Annunziata's railway station (the other station is about 20 minutes walk away but there is a frequent bus service). The only caveat I have is that Torre Annunziata is a shabby little town with a reputed high crime rate and few facilities. However, it is convenient to Pompeii and has the wonderful Roman villa of Oplonta which is better preserved than any villa in Pompeii. Strong walkers can climb Vesuvius from the town which is much more rewarding than driving or taking the bus from Ercolana.

9.9

The hotel was a little further away from the train station and the ruins than I expected. Otherwise, a very nice place and a great value.

8.3

Restaurant is quite expensive, and a very restaurants are available for dinner in the area

7.8

Hospitality & Food was excellent. We arrived after lunch had finished and were treated to an excellent authentic pizza. The hotel is conveniently located near the railway station in a pleasant piazza. There is a frequent bus service between Pompeii and the hotel although the walk is only 800 metres. The only small drawback was that the television was often on during mealtimes which was an unwelcome distraction.

7.3

A terrible place to find, don't let the simple looking map fool you! Once found the Grillo Verde was like an oasis in the desert. Situated in the middle of a pretty grotty area but very close to Pompeii. The manager was very helpful and ran us to the station closeby where you can easily catch a a train to Naples or Sorrento or anywhere in-between! The hotel staff were generally helpful and the food was good. Nice to hear 'The Clash' on the piped music at breakfast!

8.4

Nice hotel. Good relationship. Well situated for visiting.

7.2

The hotel is really o.k. but the surroundings are a bit uninviting and not the place where you go for a walk. The restaurant offers solid food at reasonable prices.

8.7

The hotel was clean, close to Pompeii and the staff was competent and friendly. The breakfast was great. Shuttle service to Pompeii was provided on request.

8.0

the hotel owners were extemely helpful and accompanied the guests to varous localities in the area which eliminated the worries one may have associated with the surrounding areas, which were not particularly nice. One of the train stations is only 100m away and made travelling to and from Naples very easy. The rooms were modern, comfortable and clean with the only problem of the rather thin walls. Overall, an ideal location and valid hotel for visiting Pompei, Naples and Sorrento.

8.1

Other than the unappealing pale green paint in the room (I guess not surprising with a name like Grillo Verde), this was a nice stay and very close the Pompeii ruins. The neighborhood wasn't that great (more like Naples than Sorrento). The proprietor was very accomodating with our late arrival (near midnight). Given prices tend to be a little lower in Southern Italy compared to Rome, we thought this place was just a little bit pricey for the the value but the price might also reflect its proximity to the Pompeii ruins.

9.4

A unpretentious,inexpensive hotel- very well placed for visiting Vesuvius, Pompei and all the sights. Ideal for families - or anyone not requiring luxury accomodation. Charming and helpful host. Photographs do not do the hotel justice.

Mom, Dad, & 20 yr old daughter wanted to visit Pompeii, Herculaneum, Vesuvius, Oplonti,etc. This was the ideal place to stay. Very nice room, great local food in the hotel restaurant (ask for the specialty of the day!) Seeing New Year's Eve from the loggia balcony was a very memorable experience! Family flavor to the management, very accomodating and helpful, pleasant. We hated to leave, we had such a good stay. Easy to get to and to tour the area from, either by car or by train and bus (it really is just a long block from Torre Annunziata Centrale station. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially the people who make it such a delightful experience.

My family and I really enjoy the days we spent in the Hotel Grillo Verde. Everything was excellent but we want to remark the warmest way we were treated and the familiar touch of the service we received.
