The check-in process was completely lacking. I stood outside for over an hour emailing calling and trying to get lit in the door. It says the front office is open, but you have to know how to get in the door. Apparently you have to use the keypad and click on one of the options that was available. But nowhere was that in the directions and the phone number to call the reception area was not taking phone calls and no one ever responded to my emails so I spent almost 2 hours standing outside until other people came along and let me in. Absolutely ridiculous!

My husband and I (in our 60’s) stayed 4 nights (top level) at Hotel Bellevue and were very happy with it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Spacious room and balcony. Quiet. Good breakfast. Hotel and neighborhood felt safe. Great views from our balcony. Bed and pillow were too firm for our liking (I would bring my own pillow if I stay here again). Access via 251 steps to walking trail up the hill behind the hotel that goes into town. There is also a sidewalk most of the way from the hotel into town. We would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful hotel set up.high with beautiful views of Vesuvius. Lovely swimming pool and sunbed area with attentive staff. Breakfast was good, but too many cakes and pastries for myself, I would have preferred more savoury options. Staff were good. Room was airy and clean. Beautiful view. Good air conditioning. But make sure you book the annex. A lot more modern. Bar is expensive. We would revisit this hotel.
