We had a one-night stay in I Portici. We arrived late in the afternoon and were greeted with a friendly and informative check in process. Our room was well appointed and we grabbed a quick pizza on the terrace before exploring the town quickly. We were lucky with the location of the hotel for both the train station and the town. Highlight of the stay was breakfast. By far the best buffet-style breakfast we have ever encountered.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Average welcome, not friendly. The 'no bath' wasn't advised until a few days before arriving so we couldn't check options. Room interior was bleak, not luxurious, bare flooring and very cold for the days we stayed. The balcony wasn't connected to the bedroom and it's high wall stopped any outlook. We had an Ikea style wardrobe with a safe high on the wall. We requested another option which was also bleak. The tv wasn't functioning, the a/c wasn't available so heaters had to be supplied. The breakfast room was cold and had very bright lighting, not pleasant. The food and catering staff were all quite good. Also the bistro was fabulous!
