Hotel Giulia is a great place to stay. The staff in particular were absolutely fantastic. Rosa, Anamarie, Marco, and the 2 other guys whose names I did not get, were always friendly, and so helpful. Rosa actually helped the day I arrived because I couldn't figure out how to put my car in reverse (DUH moment for me). She gladly came outside, and told me I had to lift up the little lever under the gear shift. Anamarie did everything humanely possible to make sure I could print out my boarding pass. Marco was always there with a big smile and hearty buongiorno! Heck, they all did that! And if it wasn't morning, it was buonasera!
The staff in the dining room were also great. I had a great time getting to know Giovanni and Anna. They always greeted me warmly in the morning, and knew that I always wanted an espresso AND a cappuccino! (they were probably thinking "those Italian-Americans!"
I will miss my amici at Hotel Giulia. But, as I told Giovanni and Anna the day we left, we do plan to return to live in the Napoli area. And when we do, I will make sure to stop in and say "Ciao Amici mio! Como estai!"
As for the negatives, it is a bit dark in terms of the colors. However, the rooms are large and nice, and the staff...they just made the difference. Also, please don't judge the hotel based on the surrounding area. There are prostitutes on corners, however, prostitution is legal, and it is found throughout the area. The staff made the difference. I love them.
