The hotel has great views over old town and port, and dinner in the restaurant was excellent, as good as any we’d had after ten days travelling around Italy. However, the noise from the staff, the kitchen area and general foot fall outside our room (41) was horrendous. We could hear every word of the staff clearing down after dinner and getting ready for breakfast, which went on until 1am. This included trolleys of crockery being moved around the hallways, shouting and the world’s creakiest door. If you do stay here make sure you’re not on the fourth floor, as you’ll get virtually no sleep.

Unbeatable views from the terrace overlooking Vesuvius and surroundings, very cool old Monastery hotel with historic rooms and religious spaces that had been restored and beautified, large and interesting areas to explore within the hotel.

Our stay at San Francesco al Monte in Naples was truly unforgettable. The hotel is full of charm, history, and breathtaking views.

Our room on the 5th floor was beautiful and offered spectacular views of Mount Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples, and even Sorrento in the distance. Waking up to that scenery each morning was a highlight of our trip.

The restaurant on the 4th floor provides stunning panoramic views while you dine. Breakfast was included and offered a great start to the day, and dinner service in the evening was excellent.

One of the most impressive features of the hotel is the amazing pool located on the 7th floor. Built into the natural stone of the hillside, it offers incredible panoramic views of Naples. The pool bar serves excellent food for lunch, and with music playing throughout the day, it creates the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind.

Be sure to take time to explore the hotel itself. Around every corner you will discover beautiful artwork, impressive statues, and even a historic church attached to the property. The building feels like a museum, monastery, and luxury hotel all in one.

San Francesco al Monte is a unique and memorable place to stay, combining history, culture, comfort, and some of the best views in Naples. We highly recommend it and would gladly return.

Breakfast was a joke. The platters were empty. We waited 10 min , no one stocked anything. Then we asked one of the staff to make us omelet. They brought us plane one egg omelet and told us it will be 12 euros to room charge which they ended up waiving as there really was no food in the platters. First time had worst experience in a hotel.
Bathroom has no vent fan. Shower door did not close and when we used the shower. Water is all over the floor outside shower.

Hotel was in a convenient location with amazing views from the terrace and roof top. Easy access to parts of the city by funiculars that were close by. Downside was that roof top was off limits to guests for two of the three days staying at the hotel. We booked here because of the pool and outdoor terraces and common areas and we could not use these areas because of outside events booked by the hotel. On the day we were able to use the pool at 5 pm because we had to vacate due to yet another wedding that was happening that evening. It would have been helpful if the hotel could have informed us of the limited access before the deadline for cancellation given the restriction on hotel amenities.

Some of the lower scores are down to this is an old converted building. However the room had a damp smell and the fittings were not of great standard.
Napoli is a busy city and has its own identity so don’t be surprised by the graffiti, busy noises narrow streets.
The staff were excellent btw.
There is parking available, but be aware driving around the city with its steep and narrow streets provide much jeopardy.
The view of the city is great and the 4th floor bar is nice. We would advise walking to the town and using lime bikes to get back

The rooftop terrace and restaurant alone make this property worth booking. Amazing views of Napoli and the bay day and night. The location is wonderful up on the hill out of the real hustle and bustle but also very accessible to everything with just a walk down the stairs right outside the hotel. Only one con for me was the lighting in the bathroom. Just a little dark and I forgot my lighted magnifying makeup mirror so getting ready was a bit of a challenge. I would definitely stay here again. Super comfy bed as well.

Hotel SFM was an amazing find. We only had one night but could have stayed longer. They arranged to pick us up at the port and the hotel is very close, yet situated on the mountain with amazing views of the Bay of Naples. An old monastery, the building itself is very interesting and the artwork spectacular. They also have a small pool where you can have a light lunch and the main restaurant is truly fabulous. Lastly, although we left very early, as our room included breakfast they actually packed a to-go bag for us which was very thoughtful. 5* from this recent guest.

Naples the city itself is an actual dump! That said this is the nicest hotel and I believe it. Rooms were just ok. Bathrooms were nice. Staff was hit and miss with most being rude just as the rest of the people in the city are. The staff just stared at us and talked about us as we struggled to get our luggage up and down the steps. The pool looks amazing in the pics but is actually just subpar. They must’ve had a professional photographer. The views from the hotel are great.

Perched high above the busy Napoletana streets it’s a gorgeous view of busy life below both on land and the sea. Our favorite aspect was the terrace for drinks with always attentive and courteous service. Had a lovely sunset dinner as well (a big shout out to the super-sweet Stefani who also worked the breakfast area where you can order espresso drinks!). Checkout Floor 3 for the artwork and historical context (is a converted monastery). Located where you can easily access the cable car up the mountain to the castle or down to Toledo Street’s busy shopping. Highly recommend.

A lovely hotel with a stunning view from our room on the fifth floor. Reception staff were cheerful and helpful. Used the “funicolare” several times to avoid the steep walk to or from the historical centre.
Enjoyed dinner outside on 4th floor terrace ( same location as breakfast).
Only negative was that the room air conditioner could not cope with the outside heat of June.
Note there is no bottled water or kettle or fridge in the room.

The property grounds are very beautiful and unique - it used to be a monastery and has so many historic pieces, giving the hotel so much character. The view from the top terrace is absolutely beautiful- you can see the whole city, the gulf and Mt Vesuvius.
The room was decently sized and clean with acceptable amenities.
My reasoning for four stars is the lack of water available at the reception - when you are returning from an excursion in the city and its boiling hot, I think the least the hotel could do is have a water fountain available for guests at the reception. Pretty much every hotel I’ve stayed at before had water available at the reception.
The breakfast was a little disappointing - there were not that many options, the pastries were stale and they have the cheese slices mixed in with the cold cut meat so as a vegetarian I could not eat the cheese due to contamination risk. Please separate the cheese from the meat and have more options for vegetarian/vegan guests.

Really cool old monastery converted into a hotel, however, nothing has been upgraded. This hotel has so much potential, but the owner needs to put some work into it. Restaurant is so so front desk is front desk is accommodating, but not. Frankly is kind of a creepy hotel. There are secret, staircases and underground tunnels that go to weird places. Very hard to find your way around the hotel would not stay here again. Feels like it’s in an unsafe neighborhood
