The Fresh

Good location. Walking distance to dining, shopping, port, tour meet-up areas, multiple piazzas and historical sights.

We ound the property met our expectations but was a little difficult to find. All in all, we were happy with our stay.

FOR US THE LOCATION WAS SCARED. NOBODY IN THERE , ENTRACE OF HOTEL WAS DARK PLACE, AND THE PRINCIPAL DOOR VERY DURY. NEVER COME BACK SORRY

TL;DR : This is NOT a hotel. It is a BnB-like accommodation with misleading advertisement. Owner also tries to browbeat negative reviews by threatening calling the cops. We arrived in a graffiti laden alleyway at around 4pm, well within the 2 to 8pm check-in time (front desk is supposed to be open from 8am to 8pm) to a door with a lockbox. We ring the location and get no answer. We find a note that says that we need to contact someone through WhatsApp if it's after 2pm. Which is... highly irregular. Contact the number (good thing we had international data) and no response so I start looking at the lockbox. Within seconds, I get it open and find a bunch of keys. Didn't feel comfortable taking the keys so I tried to close the box again but couldn't anymore. After nearly 2 hours! I finally get a response after I contacted Expedia to get a refund. He gives me instructions to open the lockbox and tells me it's my fault because we checked-in after 2pm. We got no instructions of that sort from him (or at all). Turns out, the lockbox code was not one that I had tried which now freaks us out considering how easy it was to open, anybody could have made doubles. Asked for a refund directly because both not a hotel room or safe and he refused. Ended up going elsewhere. After he saw a negative review on google, he sent us the cop threat. This is NOT a hotel. Nobody works here. The 8am to 8pm front desk is a lie and is not manned. We even saw other people waiting the next day.

good location and good service

Great location. Inexpensive price. No air conditioning. Hot. Had to sleep with windows open. Noisy all night long.

Don’t stay here is my best recommendation. Find a different Hotel

I typically choose hotels based on the services offered. One important service for me is airport transportation (even with a fee) since I find taxis can try to overcharge you. That was one of the reasons The Fresh was selected. So I was disappointed when I emailed them a couple of days prior to my arrival to arrange transportation and was informed that my arrival time was a busy period and it would not be available. Again, I was disappointed but understood since my arrival in Naples was during a timeframe typically used for check-in. So I took a taxi and paid more than double the price quoted by The Fresh. To avoid this issue for my departure, I immediately emailed the owner after check-in to arrange transportation for my departure several days later. I was then informed that the service was not available period. I sent screenshots from their website and Expedia stating that airport transport is available for a fee. I was then told that they don't offer it anymore. This really upset me. It upset me more than the A/C that you could only feel when you in a specific spot in the room and that they turned off daily resulting in my coming from a very hot outdoor environment into a sweat box. More so than the internet service that kept going in and out. Consistent A/C and internet service were not advertised but airport transport was. If I was aware of this, I would not have spent my money and my Expedia points at this location. If you don't offer a service, don't advertise it.

Rooms requested were not available the day we arrived. However, the owner was there when we arrived. I did not realize that we would have needed an elevator. No elevator! Owner was pleasant. The B&B was on the second floor in Italy it's the first floor. Had to walk up and down with luggage. We arrived on a Thursday rooms requested were available on Saturday. .

Best thing about this hotel is its location, just a minutes walk away from one end of Centro Storico and many of the tourist attractions. Affordable price and overall good quality of room, although the bed was pretty hard and the shower very small, and breakfast could be improved by having more savoury options. Staff here speak almost no English but can provide a map of the area, and its easy enough to find your own way around.

Nice service

Although it didn't look like it from the outside, the hotel was nice inside, and in a good location. The air conditioning was very weak and the wifi was so spotty. Most times it did not work in our room. We use wifi to plan our days, etc. the breakfast was good.

very nice and polite staff, a little bit poor english knowladge like in general in Napoli. breakfast always on time with a lovely warm croissant, cake and etc. in the end of our visit been offered a taxi to airport, cheap and on time. atmosphere was awesome and comfortable. it is the right place to stay.

I stayed in the Fresh for 4 nights in October 2014 - I arrived late (very late) and had not realised I needed to tell the hotel in advance; no fear, they called me and it was all sorted (THANK YOU). The rooms are comfortable and brightly decorated - the decor seems to be lime green or pink and it gives the place a modern feel despite the building being an old building in old naples. The location is great - 3 minutes from the heart of old naples and 10 minutes from the highlight for me - Napoli Underground.

Lovely Hotel, great location, close to everything, Naples bay, Royal Place, Castle Nuevo just a stones throw away. The University and Metro underground line is just around the corner as well as the fabulous shopping streets!

Room & bathroom were a bit small. Location wasn't the greatest either. Clean and good service though.

Worst hotel stay in a very long time.. 1. At 10 Am day of check in the hotel manager Alessandro called to say that The Fresh has a boiler issue - hence no hot water and we had to go to sister hotel Hrooms. 2. Hrooms was located away from everything - port, train station, city centre - had to use crowded Naples metro to get around every day. The manager was under the impression he was doing us a favour. 3. Hrooms has no staff other than non English speaking cleaning lady. There was no one at reception after we checked in for the entire 3 days stay. 4 different keys were needed to get onto the building, hotel and then room! 4. Toilet would not flush and my dad had to fix it as there was no one to ask for help. 5. After a shower the entire bathroom was flooded - again - no one to ask for help - so we left it for cleaning lady to drain next day. 6. Requested triple room for 3 adults and at The Fresh the reservation indicated 3 beds would be available. We got one double and a very uncomfortable sofa bed- I am only 5ft 4 and my feet were out. The only positives I can think of are the size of the rooms and cleanliness. It should really be marketed as serviced apartments or something along these lines (there is no hotel staff or service to speak of) to manage expectations.

I thought The Fresh was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff were very congenial. The owner even picked me up from the airport! He also arranged for a txi to take me to the ferry the next day, witch is just a short distance away, The continental breakfst was very nice also.This place was a real bargain, too.

Decent continental breakfast included. The staff member who stays there for most of the day isn't too helpful in terms of recommending routes, restaurants or attractions but does his job well which is to lay out breakfast and check you in. We found the location a bit hard to find because the google maps location for the hotel is wrong (sept 2013). 25 mins walk to train station, 8 min walk to port, 30 seconds walk to nearby (small but functional) supermarket. Good stay overall.

Accueil nulissime comportement du patron inadapté. Bruyant, pas du tout isolé du bruit de la rue. Inaccessible avec des bagages : porte d'entrée lourde et minuscule. Accès dangereux en bord de rue sans trottoir. Attention : pas d'accueil physique. Il faut appeler avec votre portable personnel un numéro italien une fois arrivé dans la rue avec vos bagages en plein dans la circulation. Et là ça ne suffit pas. Alors que vous êtes debout dans le bruit à vous coller au mur pour ne pas vous faire renverser par un scooter, le patron ne vous donne pas le code. Il vous demande de télécharger une application de messagerie instantanée (!) Si vous y arrivez, il ne vous enverra pas le code d'entrée à 3 chiffres, mais un long message vocal en anglais avec un accent tellement mauvais qu'on n'a pas compris le code et qu'il a fallu le rappeler une 2eme fois pour qu'il soit d'accord pour nous donner ce code de vive voix. En clair si vous n'avez pas de smartphone, ou que vous n'êtes pas un geek à l'aise avec le numérique en plein brouhaha de rue, ou que vous ne parlez pas anglais, vous ne pourrez pas accéder à votre chambre. Je garde le meilleur pour la fin : il a voulu nous faire payer la taxe de séjour pour notre enfant alors que notre réservation indiquait bien qu'il avait moins de 15 ans (donc gratuit). Il a même menacé d'appeler la police parce qu'on refusait de payer une taxe qu'on ne devait pas... Quel sens de l'accueil !
