We recently had a stay at this hotel, which is advertised as having a 4-star rating (how is that even possible???) and good reviews.

Outdated Facilities: The hotel is extremely old and clearly in need of significant renovations.

Unpleasant Odor: There was a strong, unpleasant smell throughout the hotel, including our room, which made our stay very uncomfortable.

Lack of Cleanliness: The cleanliness was below standard.

Bathroom Mold: The bathroom had mold everywhere, which is unacceptable and unhygienic.

Dirty Corridors: The carpeted corridor was not vacuumed even once during our 3-day stay and was full of crumbs, threads, and other debris.

Breakfast: The breakfast lacked hot food options, though there were some items available to eat.

Mini Bar Charges: The minibar included two bottles of water, two beers, and two cans of Coca-Cola, with no prices listed. This usually suggests the items are complimentary, but we were charged 1.50 EUR for a small bottle of water upon checkout.

Double Payment Issue: If you book through Booking.com (which guarantees the room rate), be aware that the hotel might charge you again upon check out. Make sure you have extra money available as your Booking.com payment may be held and you’ll need to pay the hotel directly.

This hotel is suitable only for the most undemanding guests.
We have traveled to Italy multiple times and stayed in various, much cheaper hotels, but this was by far the worst experience we've had.

On the positive side, the hotel has a good location, friendly staff, and offers parking for 15 EUR per day.

Given these issues, it’s hard to believe that this hotel has managed to maintain a 4-star rating. We recommend it only for those who absolutely need a pool; otherwise, we suggest avoiding this hotel.

On the recommendation of friends, who have been visiting Hotel Aequa for many years, my sister and I booked 6 nights with a picture perfect seaside view room overlooking the Gulf of Naples with Mt. Vesuvius in the distance. Giacomo was great at communicating with me before the trip, booked a car for me to transport us from Naples Airport, and booked us excursions to Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii, Positano, and Amalfi. We also enjoyed dinner there, and breakfasts were a giant buffet of so many delicious choices. We also enjoyed lounging by the beautiful pool. La dolce vida!

The staff here are fantastic and we enjoyed our 9 day stay here very much. The hotel team are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is very clean and room staff do an immaculate job each day. Giacomo can also book tours and car hire, and helped us with any queries we had. We had a fantastic view of Vesuvius and the bay of Naples from our balcony.
There is a great variety of food for breakfast and the hotel is well place for exploring the town and very convenient for the train station too. We found an amazing bakery close to the hotel called
Andrea and Gianni pasticceria.
Our 3 kids 14,10,8 all enjoyed the pool area which is very well maintained and clean. The hotel is very child friendly.
Many thanks to Giacomo and his hard working team.
Grazie mille!
