It is a city with great potential, especially because of its unique location north of the Amalfi Coast and therefore, in close proximity to the islands of Capri and Ischia. Potential means, in this case, that Naples could be even more than it actually is. When referring to the morbid charm of the city, well-known and appreciated in Italy, one assumes it has more to do with neglect than romance.

The Romeo Hotel has chosen its location in close proximity to the docks and the respective harbour area, which opened my heart, being a harbour-lover from Hamburg. But if you are a fan of nice promenades and palms in front of your window, then this will not suit your tastes.

The way to the hotel takes getting used to, as you need to leave the city centre with its restaurants on the promenade and walk to the industrial corner of Naples. By discovering the city, you will see that the centre is just 10 minutes away by foot. The location of the hotel is unique; it is positioned between old or partially rundown buildings to the left and right. These buildings stand in direct contrast to the modern façade of the Romeo.

I can only say that once you’ve seen the rooftop terrace of the Romeo Hotel, it makes up for everything that Naples is lacking. And Sorrento is certainly worth a visit being only 20 to 30 minute away.
