Marina of Pithaecusa

The room was very well priced, though outdated. It was clean and most importantly, the AC worked very well. The property is conveniently located by a less crowded gate to an entrance of the Pompeii archeological park and within walking distance to an active square and many restaurants. Around the corner from the entrance was a restaurant with 5Euro aperol spritzes and very reasonably priced pizzas. As it was so so hot when we visited, shorter walking distances were necessary and this hotel fit the bill. We found the city itself to be less friendly than the bigger cities we visited in Italy, as we received a lot of stares just walking down the street, but the hotel and the restaurants we visited were staffed by friendly and helpful people. There is a continental breakfast offered as part of the stay as well. The property is old and doesn't have any amenities to speak of, but it was perfect for our family in need of three beds for 4 people in a quick overnight between Rome and Positano. The AC actually worked very well which was unique for Italy and a life saver in the August heat and I would recommend for this reason.

The room was very clean, Breakfast was not great! There was very little choice, this was the 3rd hotel that I had stayed in during my trip and the worst Breakfast..you had to ask the member if staff for more coffee and it felt like you were imposing on them. The hotel itself is lovely but the area is very rough. Every cafe I went into advised me to put my bag in front of me and look out for pick pockets.
