A nice and comfortable hotel, a short walk from the archeological site at Pompeii. There's a fantastic information office nearby too (near the Piazza) with very helpful staff and a lot of information about Pompeii, Capri and great Campania. The service provided by the staff at Hotel Diana was exceptional - the day we were due to leave Pompeii, a public transport strike had been called. We were concerned about making it to our next destination on time, and when we expressed this to the staff they offered to take us to our train station at no extra charge! Amazing.

Parking facility in the garden.

I would highly recommend Hotel Diana Pompei to anyone looking for a spotlessly clean, friendly and moderately priced place to stay in Pompei. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. If you have a car at your disposal this location would be a perfect base to explore not only Pompei but also Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and even Capri. We found Pompei to be a clean, vibrant city with reasonably priced restaurants and bars (as long as one stays away from the touristy places near the ruins).

7.6

Very helpfull and nice staff. Located near Pompei Church and 15 minutes from archeological site.

10

This place is terrific in terms of location. The hosts are friendly and very helpful to point out the different sites to see and making arrangements for tours to the Amalfi coast. Our only problem was not knowing what FFSN meant when we got off in Naples and no one else knew so we took a local train which left us in the center of town, not far but without directions from that train to the hotel we went in a large circle and finally called the hotel for assistance. They steered us right to them.

Only criticism is that the reception staff were not aware of the European Culture Weekend and sold us a Arte Card whereas entrance was free on 2 of the 3 days.

9.2

The staff was incredible helpful. The train connections are good, but the various train stations were a bit confusing at the beginning. Would definitly stay again.

9.0

The hotel is close to the main train station and a short walk to the Cathedral and the ruins of Pompei. But, it was staff who really made the stay memorable - they couldn't do enough for us, from putting our food (and beer) in the kitchen refrigerator to looking up train times and museum opening times for the Archeological Museum in Naples. They all (especially Nadia) greeted us with a smile and hello every time we came in the door or down the stairs and really made us feel that we were very welcome guests.

9.8

The staff at this hotel were all extremely accomadating and made the stay that much more enjoyable. They were very happy to help with the many questions we had and never failed to answer with a smile. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Pompei.

9.7

The staff was extremely helpfull and took care of all of our needs. They all spoke very good english and gave us a map and great directions to ever place we wanted to go. They also suggested some great sopts to check out as well as resturants. It is extremely close to 2 railway stations and walking distance to the ruins. I would highly recommend it for the price.

9.9

The Diana was a great pleasure! Nice room, nice garden for breakfast and above all, centrally located in the town and staffed by extermely attentive and knowledgable young women at the front desk. The front desk help went above and beyond the call to make us welcome. The young woman who checked us in at 8 PM quickly arranged for a contact at a nice local restaurant to come meet us and drive us to dinner. The young woman who was working at the desk the following morning arranged complementary tickets to visit the ruins in the day and attend the sound and light show there (the last of the season) that evening. In addition, as we were traveling to Pompei from a week at a cottage in Sicily and had some local cheese and vegetables with us, they put these in their refrigerator and prepared them for us as an accompaniment to the hotel's own buffet breakfast! The Diana is a family operation, and they treated us like family too. Well done!!!

9.6

Lovely bright clean small hotel. Staff were very helpful and spoke good english.Breakfast nice but limited. Fresh capuchino/ hot chocolate/ coffee provided to order. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Pompeii seemed rather run down, but the hotel was a little oasis where we cold leave our hire car under the garden trees while spending the day at the ruins.Very close to the station, but a good twenty minutes walk to the main ruins entrance where the audio guides are. Pompeii is massive. Also cafe inside was closed - NO REFRESHMENTS INSIDE AT ALL except drinking water taps. Thank goodness for an enterprising adjoining cafe who had cut a hole in the wire fence near the House of the Mysteries and who did not overcharge either!

9.8

The staff was very friendly. The location was within a few hundred feet of the train station so was quite convenient. Also very convenient to the Pompei ruins. Nice place. Would definitely stay there again.

9.8

Excellent location. 2 min. walk from train station, 15 min. walk to archeological site, large selection of restaurants and cafes within a 5 min. walk. Hotel is clean, lots of marble used in decor. Rooms are a bit small, but are bright, clean with comfortable beds and air conditioning. Bathroom was nicely decorated and very clean. Staff of this small, family-run hotel was very friendly and helpful at all times. They helped us figure out the many options available to get to and climb Mt. Vesuvius. Breakfast buffet was a bit limited in selection, but food was very good. Note - esp. to families with children - even with help of hotel staff, our search for a place to do laundry was unsuccessful. There may be one place, but it was closed for vacation - try to arrive with clean clothes. Also, BEWARE OF THE STRAY DOGS. My 10 year old daughter was bitten by one as we climbed Mt. Vesuvius. We met a young boy on the climb who had also been bitten and required a trip to the hospital. There are stray dogs everywhere in the area and they appear docile but as we learned, sometimes are not.

8.6

En particulier un service très aimable et très compétent. Pas d'ascenseur. Fruits frais au petit déjeuner, possibilité de le prendre sur la terrasse.

8.7

Nice small hotel only a few minutes walk from the archeological site of Pompei. Very nice garden. Very friendly and helpful staff.

7.9

The hotel was easy to find, just a short walk from the train station, giving very easy access to the Pompei ruins by foot and was also convenient for Herculaneum (short ride on the train). The staff were extremely helpful and their English was excellent. Although a little basic the breakfast was of a very good quality.

9.2

We stayed 5 nights in Pompei, in a triple room (two adults, one child). The service was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating - we got lots of good local information from them. The location of the hotel is great, only one street from the main FS train station in Pompei.

9.5

The service recieved at Diana Pompeii was the best during our 2 week holiday in Italy. We reached the hotel quite tired after a day of sight seeing in Rome and travelling by train to Naples and then Pompeii (the Naples train station is a bit confusing, so rather ask than rely on notices). However, our welcome at Diana Pompei was so friendly and welcoming we felt better. The staff are very friendly with recommending good restaurants, so if you are in the mood for some really good food or even good pizza or a light meals make record of the restaurants or pizzerias recommended. The hotel is close to the train station (50 m) but we were not distrubed by the noise. The hotel is also walking distance to the ruins. The rooms are clean and the hotel is quite modern. A wonderful place.

7.7

A destacar el trato del personal del hotel, son encantadores y muy eficientes. El hotel estaba muy limpio y está reformado pero la habitación nuestra era muy pequeña con un baño enano y tenía poco que ver con las fotos que aparecen en Venere llevé un poco de dececpción con eso. Es un hotel silencioso. El desayuno correcto aunque después de leer el comentario de alguien que recomendaba el zumo de las naranjas del desayuno, supuestamente de las naranjas del jardín, siento decirle que el zumo era de brick jajaja. Tuvimos un problema a la hora de pagar porque días antes de hacer nuestro viaje nos descontaron el precio de la habitación, una vez allí tuvimos que volver a pagarla y ya en España reclamamos el importe que se nos devolvió enseguida. Por lo demás lo recomiendo sin problemas.Está caminando unos 10 minutos de la entrada a las ruinas de Pompeya y a 3 minutos de la estación circumvesubiana.

9.8

The Hotel Diana was one of the loveliest places we stayed on our rcent trip to Italy. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming, and a mine of information on ANYTHING you want to know about the local area. The availability of freshly made coffee throughout the day, and the charming terrace in the garden, surrounded by orange trees was fantastic. You can also buy dinner makings and eat them here. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pompei and the Diana was a home away from home. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere away from the frenetic activity that is Naples. The hotel is located in a little side street a matter of metres from the main rail station - so convenient for excursions to many places, and very quiet at night.

9.1

VERY convenient for a Pompeii site visit. Our stay also allowed easy access to day trips to the Amalfi coast due to the easy access to the local train (train to Sorrento catching a bus or ferry to Positano/Amalfi). This offered an excellent way to enjoy the water, see the coast, and have lunch/dinner in the coastal towns. Good restaurants in Pompeii at a good price. Very friendly staff eager to please with helpful hints to enhance your vacation. Beautiful quiet garden in back among orange trees provided a restful place for drinks and cards after our day trips. Rooms were adequate size for two, with good storage, a smallish bathroom and a small shower. Rooms were nicely furnished and very quiet and clean. We recommend this over day trips from Naples any time, and we would stay here again.

9.1

I loved this hôtel. It was very well situated, modern, colorfull and the staff was very pleasant. It is near the archeological site and if I had a advice to give, it would be to try and stay at this hôtel for a few days, while you visit the surroundings (Vésuve, Pompei site, Herculanum site, Napoli, Sorrento, Capri). The hôtel is situated at a 30 seconds walk from the train station and it is very easy to reach all these cities and sites by train from there.

9.1

We were on our honeymoon and arrived in our super-clean room to find a homemade card, a red rose, and some sweets. A lovely touch! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the little orange orchard outside was a pretty place to sit for breakfast. The hotel is very close to the train station, which was handy, and also within walking distance of one of the entrances to the ruins (there are several; only one has the audioguide for rent - the Porta Marina). By the way, if you want to see the plaster casts of the bodies at Pompeii, be sure to ask exactly where they are at the entrance gate! There aren't many to be seen, and the city ruins are HUGE - be prepared for a lot of walking. The Hotel Diana was great - we would recommend it to anyone.

10

Hotel Diana Pompei was our favorite lodging experience during our 2 weeks in Europe. The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. They were most encouraging of my efforts to speak Italian and went out of their way to be sure that my family and I were comfortable. The room was decorated in an upbeat style, with a very tasteful use of bold colors. The continental breakfast was delicious, beginning with a cappuccino freshly made by the staff and brought to our table. We discovered that the hotel is family-owned and that several of the staff members are also family members. We got to meet Grandma, Dad, Daughter and Son, all delightful people! Although one day at the ruins was enough for me, I would have liked to have stayed longer just to enjoy the hotel. Oh, yes, there's also a beautiful yard/garden/patio with orange trees, tables, flowers and fresh fruit. As "icing on the cake" the Hotel Diana Pompei is located just 50 meters from the train station, on a small, side street.

9.7

Hotel Diana is a little gem in a wonderfully central place to stay in the region. Very close to the mainline Pompeii Station (5 mins max) and a 15 minute walk to one of the two Circumvesuviana stations. (Pompei Sanctuari) and maybe 30 minutes from the other station at Pompeii Scavi next to one of the entrances to the ruins. It's worth mentioing that the stations are all on different lines. The Hotel is beautifully appointed for a small hotel - very clean. The rooms are small, but adequate and very well furnished. Our bathroom was well equipped (modern) with a shower (no bath) but this was fine for us. Breakfast was very good with cerials, fresh rolls and croissants, butter, jams and fruit picked from the garden (an optional place to have breakfast) Coffee with an option for Cappucino served or tea and fruit juice. Best of all were the staff. Amongst the most attentive and friendly I have encountered in many years of travel with good English and a desire to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. It's no wonder this hotel gets such high marks - I would not hesitate to chose this hotel again if in area. It is B&B but there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. Only possible negative is that there was no lift but they are looking into this. They do help with bags.

9.4

We found the staff very helpful in particular the assistance of translation of English to Italian. They where also very helpful on our last day in picking up our laundry giving us a full day out. The only issue we had was not knowing that there were 2 train services to Pompei, one the National & the other the local. The hotel is closer to the National Line.

9.1

This was, without a doubt, one of the best values for money we've found in Western Europe and particularly in Italy. The staff is absolutely top-notch, from personally directing us to move our car from street parking to the hotel lot, to providing discounted entry, to the archaeological site, to helpful restaurant information. They always had smiles on their faces and were very professional and competent. While the rooms are sparse and the bed not the most comfortable, everything was in working order and the bed was adequate, and bathroom fine. When we missed breakfast, one was offered to us as we passed by the front desk on our way out. And we got water and sodas from the front desk for a nominal fee. All this for less than 100 Euros/night! Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend "La Situla" for dinner nearby.

8.9

Our first stay at Hotel Diana and we had a very good time. The staff was very friendly and assisted us with information on attractions and good eating places. Our reason for the visit was to see Pompei. If we come back to the region we will certainly stay at Hotel Diana.

9.9

This hotel was really nice! Close to the train station, it is really easy to join it! This place is quiet and relaxing. The people working there are making their best to make us confortable... We will go to this hotelif we come back to Pompei!

8.6

I had a welcoming personal email from the hotel as soon as I booked through the Venere.com website - reassuring that my booking was successful and that our late arrival was no problem. Hotel staff were very friendly - and helpful with restaurant suggestions and bus/train connections. The room and bathroom were nice and clean - decent size, quite colourful. Breakfast was the standard minimal breakfast you will find in Italian hotels - it was average, but sufficient - it is a shame the breakfast room is in the basement - as they do have a cute little garden with orange trees which would be a nicer location. The hotel is located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Pompeii station (there are two) - despite this I can only remember hearing one or two trains passing through during our 2 night stay so noise wasn't an issue. It is maybe 10mins walk to the main square with churches, were you catch the bus to Mount Vesuvius, and from the square it was 10-15min walk to Pompeii ruins (do take plenty of water and a sun hat and go in the afternoon - it is less busy and also not so hot! But it may mean that they have run out of maps by then...so have your own guidebook with you!). It is possible to do the Mount and the ruins in one day, as we did. I would recommend this hotel. The proximity to the station was a big plus with all the heavy luggage we had to carry.

9.7

Staff was energetic, attentive, and knowlegeable. They arranged a private guide for the ruins and transportation to the airport for us, no surprises, hotel is a good value, you will not be disappointed.

9.9

This place is excellent. If you go to Pompei this is were you need to stay. Staff is good, place is great. I recomend this place and will stay here again.

9.5

We stayed one night here when we visited the ruins at Pompei. Great location! We walked to ruins and all over town. But it's on a tiny back street so very quiet. Hotel staff was the best! Super helpful. Spoke perfect English which sure helped me with my very limited Italian. Have free parking which you don't find too many places. We would definitely stay there again.

9.6

The staff is what made my stay very enjoyable, Nadia and Mary were very helpfull with directions around town and general service. The stay was very pleasant.

9.7

Charming desk women gave us great welcome and terrific dinner recommendations. A beer under the orange trees was worth a thousand words. Staff is absolutely the friendliest and most helpful.

8.9

Booked this hotel after reading comments here - certainly lived up to the expectations. Perfectly located for the Ruins and Railway station. Rooms are bit small - but we didn't spend too much time there in any case. The Garden is lovely - but what really makes this Hotel stand out is the friendliness of the staff !

10

My sisters and I loved Hotel Diana! The hotel is, literally, 150 steps from the train station. The building was recently renovated, the rooms were clean, and the staff very accomodating. The breakfast was well stocked and delicious. The desk clerk gave us a map of the city, along with directions to the Pompei archaelogical site. We easily walked to the archaelogical site in 10 minutes. The desk clerk also recommended a nearby family run restaurant for dinner. I can't remember the name, but it was delicious! We appreciated the large portions after walking through the ruins for the entire afternoon! This hotel's excellent location, accomodating staff, and cleanliness should put it at the top of everyone's list!

9.6

We were only in Pompei for one night but our stay in Hotel Diana was terrific. The hotel is very close to the train station and all parts of Pompei. The hotel interior and rooms are very modern and pleasant. The staff and managers were helpful and friendly. Wish we planned to stay longer!

7.3

Staffs of Hotel Diana show us great hospitality. I want to stay there again. The restaurant "Osteria da Peppino", which is recommended by a hotel staff, is also good and it has reasonable prices. The location is very near to the station of TRENITALIA, and easy to find it.

9.5

Friendly, attentive, staff who give excellent advice for touring and eating out. Emails answered promptly. Spacious rooms for families or disabled travellers. Lovely breakfast with oranges from the hotel garden, great coffee.

9.9

Incredible service, great location. I recommend this place to everyone.

10

Hotel Diana Pompei was outstanding! A great value! Freindly staff with great suggestions for dinner. Rooms were large and clean. Facility was well situated to reach "both" train stations. A great find!!!

8.0

Map locations throughout Italy are problematic due to the lack of street signs. This particular hotel is located on a narrow side street that is a bit difficult to find.

9.3

Stayed January 2008 (6 people ).Excellent hotel, great location, very friendly and courteous staff. Would stay again if ever in Pompei again,and would recommend to all. Probably the best hotel in Pompei for value for money.

9.8

Good and friendly small hotel in Pompey. We were in 2 double rooms and we had nothing to grumble. Good service, very friendly explained how to get to Vesuvio etc. Fresh oranges from garden and easy to find. Only hotel who sent separate personal confirmation and map to e-mail. Close to center and to archeological site Staff can speak english and also russian.

9.8

Nice little hotel! We got all assistance needed for our group: accomodation of seven bicycles was no problem at all. What we particularly liked was the quiet little orange garden in the backyard! Staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel only a ten minutes walk from one of the entries to the excavations.We would clearly reccomend this albergo!

9.9

The owners were friendly wonderful and helpful! They spoke English well and were knowledgable about the surrounding areas, taxi fares, when needed, and sites to see. The gates to Pompei were a 5-10 minute slow walk away. The town is beautiful! The hotel public areas and rooms were clean and very brightly painted. I loved this portion of our stay.

8.9

Really really friendly and helpfull staff.

9.9

Hotel Diana is a brightly furnished, comfortable place with an impressive staff that also speaks English.

10

We were greeted by friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. The location of the hotel in relation to the train station, shopping and attractions is excellent. We were very pleased with the accomodations. The grounds are quite lovely. Expecially the orange grove, from which we picked ripe oranges right off the tree and ate them on the patio. Very beautiful. If I ever decide to come back to Pompei, I will certainly stay at Hotel Diana Pompei. I highly recommend this facility to everyone.

8.4

Location, staff, cleaness were good, but can improve breakfast

9.8

The service personnel at this hotel were invariably cheerful, courteous and helpful. Great location -- less than 5 minutes walk from the main train station and a ten minute walk to the circumvesuviana. Although some train station neighborhoods can be a bit dodgy, this is not the case with the area around the Pompei train station. Very safe for a single woman. Easy walking distance to a very good variety of restaurants. And, of course, a 10 minute walk to the amphitheatre entrance to the ruins, or a 20 minute walk to the main entrance to the ruins. Excellent value for the money. One of the best hotels I've stayed at for cleanliness, courteousness and value. Good, but basic, breakfast -- coffe/tea, juice, yogurt, bread, pastry and cereals. I highly recommend this hotel. And the modern city of Pompei is an excellent base for touring not only the ruins of Pompeii but also Herculaneum, Oplonto, Sorrento and Naples -- all easily and cheaply accessible via train.

8.5

A very pleasant hotel with a charming, competent staff, and a lovely garden, although we didn't use it because it was cold and rainy. Our triple room was cramped, and when we asked for a larger room, they gave our daughter her own room at no extra cost (off season). Located just off a nice shopping street, five minutes from the main square and 30 minutes walk to the main entrance to the ruins. You can also catch a convenient bus at the square to take you to the ruins. Be aware that some construction work is going on next door.

8.8

It was a wonderful choice. We have three children and were also travelling with my aunt and uncle so we were six with a baby. We booked two triples and were there at the beginning of December. The family of the Diana hotel were so wonderful to us. Our baby got sick while we were there and they got a doctor to come see him and also brought us to a clinic and hospital to see a paediatrician. The mother helped us navigate the Italian medical system. They were so helpful and really made us feel at home and like family. We feel like we made wonderful new friends. They also had wonderful orange and tangerine trees in the back that were ripe with fruit. They let us pick some and our kids really enjoyed the treat.

8.3

Shower is tough, but overall service and ammenities are super.

8.9

Très bonne adresse, l'accueil est excellent, les chambres petites mais très propres et bien équipées (linge de toilette, séchoir, wifi possible) et il est tout proche de la gare, du centre et des ruines. Excellent séjour

9.3

Great hotel for a few nights with very friendly and helpful service. Far enough away from the main tourist drag, but not too far from the ruins. Reliable organisation of taxis, and info on buses etc.

8.3

Very helpful, friendly and welcoming staff. An ideal place to stay (not 'flashy') for a couple of nights to visit the ruins.

9.9

A wonderful hotel, extremely helpful staff, all fluent in English. One of my best hotels during my travels in Europe.

9.7

Welcoming! Clean and modern! Great bathroom tho shower a bit small! Front desk most helpful! Private car park. A great stop at a moderate price!

8.9

The staff was wonderful and provided much great ideas of where to eat and what we could do in one day. Very friendly. Breakfast was wonderful. Would recommend highly!

9.8

We throroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly but professional, the outdoor garden area was fantastic & encouraged guests to mix if they wanted but still allowed a private drink if preferred. Highly recommend.

9.1

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were really nice. The location was good but hard to find.

10

I will recommend Diana Pompei. The staff is pleasant! The breakfast is a little boring but The Hotel is charming, and centrally located in a verry nice town. ì`ll love to go back.

9.2

The location is excellent for going to the ruins, only a 5 minute walk. The hotel is lovely, clean and the staff very welcoming with excellent English skills. Breakfast is simple but filling, don't be put off by their weak coffee, it is a normal black coffee. The hotel has a little bar which serves coffees and non/alcoholic drinks for very reasonable prices. If going to the ruins get an audio guide from the tourist office before going in as there are none for hire once you have paid your entrance fee. Despite being a bit pricey it is worth it for the additional information, especially if it is raining and you don't want your guide book to get wet. If we were to go back to Pompei we would certainly use this hotel again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a handy and relatively inexpensive place to stay.

9.6

First visit. Hotel in town centre close to station and entrance to excavations. Very comfortable. Good breakfast. Lovely garden with orange trees etc. Staff very friendly & helpful. Ideal also for Visit to Naples Museum,Herculaneum & (car needed),Vesuvius,Paestum and Pozzuoli.

9.8

The staff at the hotel was amazing. They were very warm, welcoming and went out of their way to make the stay wonderful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

9.0

Very friendly,very helpful advice,the room we had was not very large, but clean and adequate for the stay (4 days). The hotel's location is handy for public transport.I cannot say there are great views as it is located in a heavily built up area,but Campania itself is a very densely packed region and I would prefer to stay here rather than in Naples for instance. If you are going to Pompei or the Campania in general, this hotel has to be top of the list.

9.2

Friendly services. excellent advance information on email were very helpful.

9.1

smallish rooms and no elevator but everything else was great! Very welcoming and helpful staff, well located adjacent to train station and a great little beer garden!

9.8

Hotel Diana - The Jewel of Pompei! From the moment my husband and I stepped inside we felt genuinely welcome. The front desk personnel, Sonya and Alexandro, were especially friendly and helpful in their dining recommendations. One of the best experiences in my travels across Italy!

An outstanding hotel for value, modernised to a high design standard three years ago, extremely welcoming, with a delightful garden, couldn't have asked for more.

Great service and friendliness

8.7

Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal, geräumige liebenswert eingerichtete Zimmer. Frühstücksraum liegt leider im Keller, obwohl es einen sehr netten Garten gibt. Dusche ist etwas eng geraten. Klimaanlage ist recht laut- und da wir im Erdgeschoss waren konnten wir das Fenster nicht öffnen- für eine Nacht ging es.

9.9

was a holiday with my husband. First time in Pompei, saw the ruins, vesuvius & did the Amalphi coast.

9.7

We are a family of 6: 4 adults, 2 teens and two under 10s. We wanted a resonably priced but resonably comfortable hotel with breakfast included, for a brief visit to Pompei. Diana fitted the bill completely. Staff were excellent, incredibly helpful in all respects: they recommended an excellent restaurant within walking distance of the hotel and gave good advice as to what to visit and when to avoid the crowds and the heat. The double room was smallish and its en suite cozy to say the least, but the quad (double plus bunks) was an excellent size, as was its en suite. The rooms were spotless and the air conditioning wellcome

9.2

An excellent hotel, close enough to the town centre but far enough out to be quiet. Exemplary service. If you go to Pompeii, make sure you take the elevator to the top of the church bell tower. Magnificent view of the ruins and Vesuvio. Morning is best as the sun will be behind you

9.7

The Hotel said it was only 50 metres from the station and it was if you got on the correct (ie mainline) train line at Naples - but there are two stations in Pompeii. The other one (on the Circumvesuvio line) is over a kilometre away. This was not (in retrospect!) a major drama - just tiresome for a family of five after a flight from London and the catching of one wrong train (there being two stations for Pomeii one for the town and one for the ruins). I must read the guide book more closely before starting out next time! However, any discomfort was soon removed by the gracious and warm and friendly welcome we received from the manager on duty and the (very)clean and modern rooms to which we were shown (which had good airconditioning). This is a hotel in a town so no views from rooms but there is a very nice garden with orange trees in which it was very enjoyable to relax, out of the tourist hustle and bustle, with a beer after a busy day. All the staff were friendly and recommendations about nearby restaurants were accurate and helpful. The ruins are within walking distance. Breakfast is the usual Italian fare (but no meat/cheese) but made much better with a 'real' coffee (ie espresso, latte or cappuccino) which the staff were happy to make and did not cost much. The hotel was an excellent base from which to explore the ruins and nearby attractions like Vesuvius and Paestum. Highly recommended.

8.7

C'est un hotel très bien situé pour visiter Pompéi. Les chambres sont un peu petite par rapport à ce qu'on voit sur les photos mais le personnel est très accueillant et très prévenant. Ils sont de très bon conseil pour trouver un restaurant ou visiter la région.

9.0

Small, pleasant hotel very near the train station and a short walk to main Pompei and the ruins. Very helpful and friendly staff. Room was on the small size but perfectly adequate with air conditioning. Road hotel is on is a little rough and the building nextdoor had scaffolding on it which did not add to the appearance of Hotel Diana - but this hardly matters. Breakfast was limited to croissants, rolls and fruit - but the croissants are huge!

9.2

Great location, get off the train and you can see the sign. Perfect for those not wanting to lug around suitcases looking for a hotel. The hotel was also very clean and the staff extremely friendly. The archaeological site is a bit of a walk, but it's nothing compared to the amount of walking you'll do inside the sight!

9.6

Ask me, Ask me! The front desk team was great. This is a good value spot as a launch point for a day or so in Pompei or by train to surrounding spots. Easy location to train station. Referred us to a great and reasonable restaurant. Clean and Courteous.

8.9

very friendly staff..very helpful. we had a really nice stay. Definitly, The hotel to choose if you want to stay in Pompei.

10

A lovely hotel that I wouldn't hesitate in recommending to friends.

8.9

A wonderful hotel where the staff were friendly and helpful. Gave excellent directions to the tourist sites and tips on when to go as well as places that might not be so well known to the tourists.

9.9

The staff at Diana Pompeii Hotel were terrific -- really welcoming and kind. They went the extra mile to recommend a place to eat when we arrived late at night and were so helpful with directions, etc. Note there is no elevator, so if you have difficulty with stairs this may not be the hotel for you. Otherwise, we highly recommend this very nice hotel. Its location is very close to the Trenitalia rail station (although you can't hear the trains from the hotel so no problem there) and about 3 blocks from the local train that takes you to Herculaneum/Sorrento/Salerno. Easy walking distance to the side entrance of Pompeii ruins, or get on the local train and ride one stop to the main entrance.

It's beautiful hotel , the staffs are kind, It takes 10min. to Church on foot, 15~20min. to the ruins. In the town, I felt the restaurants are not so many.

WONDERFUL family staff. Near interesting area in Pompeii; reasonably convenient to the ruins. VERY nice gentrification of building and garden area. Breakfast included. Train station near as well as secure parking for car travellers. Excellent English speakers for those needing such. Give this one a try if you are overnighting at Pompeii!

A little gem! Ideally situated for both modern and historical Pompei, with very friendly and helpful staff and a pleasant walled garden/patio. No complaints whatsoever - highly recommended.

Best hotel we stayed in Italy ( visited 5 cities) Personnel very friendly and smiling which is not necessarily common in Italy. Well located near the train station and other train stations. Room keep very very clean. We definately recommend this hotel and would gladly return to it.

A day or 2 after booking a room for 4 persons, I requested a ground floor room via email as one of us was quite elderly. I never heard for sure if my request was honored but they did in fact give us 4 beds in a ground floor room which was actually designed for handicapped. Since it consisted of bunk beds and a queen bed it was cramped and I would have liked to know that this was the only possible arrangement as the bunk beds were difficult. Otherwise hotel & personel were very nice.

We enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend this hotel to those who want to stay in Pompeii. The front desk staff was very helpful. If I were to do it over again though I would have stopped in Pompeii, checked the bags at the train station, saw the ruins, then continued on to stay on the Amalfi coast (coming from Rome). With that said the city of Pompeii is nice enough.

My wife and I would strongly recommend the Hotel Diana. We will return to Pompeii and again stay at the Hotel Diana in the future. The staff was extremely helpful and we had an early train, so the staff prepared breakfast earlier than usual to accomodate us.

Well located in the center of Pompei, this hotel offers a perfect base for a visit of the historical part of the city. The private parking is a plus The people of the hotel are among the most friendly I ever met I highly recommend this hotel

The hotel is very simple but it is very close to the entrance of the ruins. Hotel personal is very friendly, professional and gave me several indications about restaurants.

The decorations and appointments were gleamingly new, the room large. But what made the stay so nice was how well Laura took care of us. She pointed out where to get a slice of pizza on the way to the ruins. She sent us to an excellent nearby restaurant, helped clarify the local train choices (better than Rick Steves' book), and generally gave us the best overall hotel experience of our trip to Italy. Leaving very early, the desk clerk saw to our getting breakfast earlier than the posted hours. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night.

Hotel Diana was a modest establishment, but the staff were warm and friendly and could not do enough for us. The room we stayed in was large, very clean and tidy.
