B&B Grande Archivio Napoli

Location is great. Bed and bath comfortable. BUT i did not like not being able to communicate with owner. There is no whats app. Like all the othe places i have stayed. We had a major water leak in our room and noone responded to my emails. Overall its a fancy hostle

The check was slow,, I asked for Iron and said they don’t provide it. The room was dusty and Some spot in toilet with fungal in the corners.. The place is near to central station.

We stayed at the Grande Archivio residence on Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, which is located in front of the archeological museum and just a 5-minute walk from Piazza Dante. This was my first time in Naples and I was initially worried about safety, but the location was great and the neighborhood felt safe. The residence is an old building that has been converted into apartments, and the guest rooms are on the 4th floor, which can be accessed by an elevator. The building was very quiet and our room was accessed using three keys - one for the main building, one for the apartment, and one for the room. Check-in was smooth and efficient, thanks to the friendly staff, Maria and Giacomo. The room itself was not modern, but it was impeccably clean, which was the most important thing for me. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were clean, and the balcony was accessed through two doors, providing good sound isolation. This was especially useful on the Saturday night, when it seemed like all the local youth were gathering in the center and making a lot of noise. The shower and toilet were clean, and a set of towels were provided for each person and changed every two days. There were a few minor maintenance issues, such as a loose shower handle, and some of the towels were a bit worn and could have been replaced. Overall, however, I had a very positive experience at Grande Archivio and would love to return in the future. The staff were lovely and the residence was a great place to stay.

The room was in bad shape. The walls had holes and stains all over. This room def had some miles on it. The sofa had crumbs on it and they neglected to clean it. I don’t think they laundry the blankets as it had new stains on them. Seems like they just fold them up after each guest. The hot water was turned off at night in the entire building. The on demand hot water system was powered off and they walked me through turning it on. However, in the morning, the hot water system malfunctioned so no one in the building could shower.

Nice place, litterally right door to the best pizza in Naples (the city that invented pizza!!). Great.

This property was terrible. We had high hopes with the reviews but we got everything the negative reviews had mentioned. The room was dirty, water all over the bathroom floor, the hot water didn’t work, and the lights did not switch off in the room. So we had to sleep with the lights on all night. The reception said she would look into a refund and as soon as we left they said no refund. I would not recommend this place at all.

We arrived at night by taxi. It was a bit hard to locate it. It’s on the street, not on the square with the fountain (close to it, a bit higher up the street). Anyway all good, room clean and decent for a cheap hotel like this. We requested 2 separate beds so we got a double bed and a foldable single bed. It was comfy enough so all fine for 1 night tho. No kettle, cups, coffee in the room at all tho (must be Italian thing tho cause everywhere we stayed in 3 stars hotels was the same, no room kettle). No breakfast included either. The issue was with opening the doors to go on the street when we dropped the bags and wanted to take a night walk around. We figured later on that only the left side of the outside doors works (as you exit the building downstairs, not the room). And the handle is broken completely so it took us a long while to work out how to let ourselves out. No note on the doors to explain. We called and messaged the host, no answer. Eventually we figured you gotta stick the key (or anything else similar) in the key hole (we initially tried it many times) and pull the heavy door towards you on the key like this, risking breaking the key or getting it stuck. Ppl behind us clearly had same issue as they left the door open and secured it with a stone but then that’s not safe in Napoli to be left open overnight. Other than that super annoying situation - it was good for the money. Nice central location too.
