Where to begin. It is right on the square yes, but I have never seen so much crime in my life. People were breaking down stolen luggage and selling it on the sidewalk in such dense numbers that we had to step over them to reach the front door. Of the 8 or 9 bleeding people we passed, about half had shot up with old needles and about half had been bludgeoned in the head with something. The attendant did not buzz us in at first, she just said something in Italian (I know, duh, but we booked in English so this was a surprise) and did not let us in. The hostess arrived to admit us as a priority after we called, but not before we had pretty much given up. We would have stayed ANYWHERE else. The minibar was covered in dust, the jacuzzi was filthy, all the towels smelled like cigarettes, there is absolutely no sense of security. Your room key is a skeleton key so any 10-year-old can pick the lock. We tried to console ourselves that the lobby door was sturdy and nobody at the hotel would harm us, but then in the morning somebody had vandalized the lobby right outside our room! Did not feel safe or relaxed for a second. If you are a hardened traveler with no valuables, maybe. If you are on vacation with somebody you love and want to have a good time, not a chance.
stayed from 09/15/2024 to 09/16/2024
The answer from the host:
Sembra che lei sia stato nei paesi dove attualmente ci sono delle guerre in atto, forse ha fatto un brutto sogno e pensa che l' abbia vissuto? Perché i nostri ospiti che alloggiavano lo stesso vostro giorno, non hanno vissuto questa guerra, anzi, hanno continuato il loro soggiorno molto piacevolemente. Tutti questi feriti, morti, vandalismi che lei sicuramente ha sognato, ci hanno dato spunto a giocare al lotto, e ci ha fatto anche vincere, tutto sulla ruota di Napoli. Quindi non posso che ringraziarla, sia per le risate a crepapelle, per quello che ha sognato, che per la vincita. La invito pero', ad andare a sognare e a viaggiare nei limiti della sua camera da letto, perché sulle guerre, si può scherzare 1 volta, ed è anche troppo.
