The location was very central and, as a lone traveller, was pleased to have a manned reception area. The staff were all super helpful and welcoming. The breakfast room was exceptionally beautiful. My room was very good, although some noise as it faced onto the street. It was well appointed and furnished. A great base to explore Naples.

I didn't mind, but the access to the hotel is quite narrow with cobbled areas. Taxi's seemed to get there OK, but a bit of a challenge.

Lovely historic hotel in a very nice central neighbourhood of Naples. Lovely breakfast in a beautiful ballroom. Had a fantastic meal at Pulcinella Bistrò Ristorante in the same street (tip of the reception).

We booked a Comfort room (which was more expensive than the Economy room). When we looked at the website of the hotel that night we noticed we didn't get the right room. We asked the staff the next day and they said we had the correct room and that our room was a Comfort room. Nevertheless they gave us a small discount. Our room was exactly the same as the photo of the Economy room on the site and couldn't be any smaller. The Comfort room had separate seating which we didn't have and was obviously much larger. Or they didn't tell the truth or the photos are not accurate on their website. It certainly didn't ruin our stay, but we felt a bit swindled.

The much hyped Breakfast Room experience was truly phenomenal - amazing food (I'm still dreaming of the traditional Easter Pie) and the room was gorgeous. The hotel itself was wonderfully located, the staff were beyond helpful and accommodating (they were instrumental in helping me get my lost luggage from the airport!) and the entire stay went off without a hitch.

For some reason the point of improvement that sticks out for me was that the pillows were too small / flat? And the bed was comfy but could have been more comfortable. I stayed in an economy room so maybe next time I will book larger.

The Decumani Hotel de Charme is housed in the stunning Palazzo Riario Sforza, an 18th-century noble residence that once served as the official home of Cardinal Sisto Riario Sforza, the Archbishop of Naples from 1845 until his passing. Staying here feels like stepping back in time, offering a truly unique experience. The room itself made us feel like royalty, featuring beautiful antique furniture, an impressively high ceiling, and a charming small balcony overlooking the street—an authentic and immersive touch. The provided amenities, including shower gel, shampoo, and other kits, were not only functional but also beautifully presented to match the hotel’s vintage vibe. The true gem of the hotel is the breathtaking breakfast room, formerly a Salone da ballo (ballroom). The ceiling is adorned with magnificent frescoes, while the walls are decorated with gilded mirrors and intricate stuccoes in pure gold. This grand setting transports you back in time, making you feel like a lord or queen enjoying a royal feast. The breakfast itself was delightful, featuring delicious coffee, a variety of pastries, and even Sfogliatella—a true Neapolitan treat. The hotel’s location is another big plus, situated conveniently near the port and the city center. From here, you can easily catch a bus to the airport or Pompeii from the port area, or simply explore the historic center on foot. Several welcoming cafes and restaurants are located just outside the hotel, adding to the overall charm. Overall, this was an unforgettable and magnificent experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a mix of history, luxury, and convenience in Naples.

Great hotel housed within an old palazzo. It has been beautifully refurbished and restored. As one wanders down the narrow street housing this hotel, it becomes difficult to imagine that such charm and accommodation lie behind its modest lobby. The standout feature was the breakfast, served in a grand, spacious hall. Dining there— an experience that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time—overwhelms you with beauty to the extent it might even distract you from your meal. Indeed, this hotel ensures its guests receive nothing less than unforgettable experiences.

I stayed in Room 210, which is located directly across from the kitchen. Despite the workers' efforts to be as quiet as possible, noise begins early in the morning, creating discomfort for those wishing to sleep in, particularly over the weekend.

When we first arrived, we wondered if we were in the right place due to the modest size of the lobby. However, the hotel exceeded our expectations with its spacious interior, providing a beautifully appointed room that was perfect for three people. It was impeccably clean and tidy, with excellent facilities and an outstanding dining area. The location was equally impressive, being conveniently close to numerous charming restaurants. This very positive feedback reflects the exceptional value for money we experienced overall.

The location of the hotel was very central to do a lot of sightseeing by foot. The bed was very comfy. It was lovely having a mini bar and the prices were very reasonable. Breakfast was superb and the breakfast room Wow! what a delight, it reminded me a little of one of the rooms from the Palace of Versailles, as it was very decadent and I could have stayed there all day looking at the beautiful ceiling etc. The buffet choice was amazing, everything you could think of, lots of cold cuts, pastries, breads, etc.

The decoration in the room was quite dark and the lights were not sufficient. One lot were not working, we were in and out a lot so did not say anything. I thought that housekeeping would have noticed though.

Staff at the hotel were respectful and helpful. The rooms were clean and well-appointed. We loved the private, walled patio inside the hotel for afternoon drinks and met fellow travelers there. Great food at breakfast. I rarely eat pastries; however, the apple cake made fresh by one young, friendly and attentive male server was excellent.

We did not expect the hotel to be located in a marginal part of town and thought we had got the directions wrong. Once we found the entrance and were inside the door, safety and location were not issues, however.

Beautiful hotel in a perfect location. Friendly and helpful staff, especially the barman Giuseppe who made us feel very welcome. The bar is set up at end of the grand hall, right next to the paino. We had drinks both here and out on the lovely terrace. The rooms are lovely and ours faced the street which did get a little noisy at times but it did not disturb us for sleeping. Breakfast was wonderful and the staff were very attentive.

A lovely hotel down a side street. It's a busy area so we felt safe at all times. Large attractive room with a very high ceiling. The breakfast room is amazing. Very old and historic, like a banquet hall. Excellent breakfast with a wide range of choices.

Our room faced on to the street. There was some noise from outside in the evening. If you don't want this you could ask for a room facing inwards.
