Highly recommend! Staff was very friendly and responsive via What’s app and Expedia messages. Naples has a reputation for being dangerous but the area felt very safe to us. If this is a concern for you, you go through 3 sets of heavy locking doors to get to your suite. The hotel is located right on the M subway line which we found very easy to use to get to Pompeii. The piazza has lots of good food options and was bustling with life well into the night (but the space was well-insulated to sound so this was not disruptive at all).

The property was clean and well maintained. The proper management was very kind and helpful. The breakfast provided each morning was a great. The air conditioning was set at a great temperature so o did not have to adjust anything. Would love to stay again. I did not have a charger compatible for my phone and asked management where I could obtain one. Ten minutes later management showed up at my door with 3 different versions. Thanks a lot you saved the day.

We were in Naples for only one night, and this turned out to be the perfect place! Huge rooms, great location for walkability to many areas of town, and close proximity to the airport for a mid morning departure. The staff were fantastic and took the time to mark up a map of where everything was and how to walk there. That was a great touch even in the day of maps on phones. It gave us a very good general sense of where we were in relation to what we wanted to do for the afternoon and evening.

It is in a central location in Napoli very close to a train station. The staff and owners are very nice and accommodating. Be aware that they are on the premises only part time and know how to communicate with them at other times. The area around the hotel is run down and very busy but the property felt very safe and secure.

Feedback on behalf of my wife and daughter who travelled!

They loved the area that this boutique hotel was in and as to the accommodation they absolutely raved about it.

Clean, elegant and the twin room they shared was amazing. The bathroom was the size of my daughters bedroom (double room size). The check in was sea ly and the owners / hosts were so welcoming and courteous. Breakfast was plentiful and my wife mentioned that on the first day my daughter was tired but hungry and so she asked if she could take a few bits up with her. The hotel were plating up a veritable feast for her and insisted that they take it up to their room.

Now that is service and i would heartily recommend this to other travellers. It’s all about the little touches!!

The owners arranged taxi service from Sorrento to this B&B, again arranged a taxi for us to the train when we left for Rome. They suggested sights to see and walks in Naples. The B&B itself is perfectly located and is exquisitely decorated. Our room was large, 20’ ceilings, with floor to ceiling doors opening on the Piazza Dante, the en-suite bath was also large and lovely with floor to ceiling windows. Linens were excellent quality. We both felt it met all our hopes for a romantic Italian holiday!

This was the biggest room we’ve ever stayed in by a mile (similar to the size of the room hah!) - 30x21 feet minimum plus the generous bathroom and 12-foot ceilings. GREAT recommendations by the staff and excellent service all around. If you like New York, we can’t imagine not loving Naples.

Our daughters are dancers and there is a dance studio upstairs (day only). It made us feel like home. We also passed by the opera rehearsing on our way into the historic old town. This is true Italy. Loved Florence but Naples is far more authentic. You’ll do no wrong at either.

Foro Carolino is a very unique hotel. It's located in a building built in 1755. This is more like bed and breakfast as its family owned, and the apartment has belonged to one family for over 200 yrs. It's a very loved and very well taken care of hotel with friendly staff and great breakfast. Its conveniently located with walking distance to all attractions. Highly recommend .

This family-owned B&B is unique and immerses you into the heart of Napoli’s exciting urban environment. The family has owned the space in this historic 1750s building for over a hundred years and remodeled it to its current purpose using only the best materials, furnishings and design concepts. Both private and shared areas are spacious, elegant and have every modern convenience. The staff is exceptional and Foro Carolino has air conditioning, strong water pressure and good storage. The one consideration is noise. If you must have quiet, this is not the place for you. Once we got used to the setting—similar to living in any big city environment—we didn’t mind. It became part of the charm, reminding us of the vibrancy of this exciting, world-class city. Foro Carolino was near every place we wanted to explore and the metro is merely steps away. So convenient! We walked or took the metro everywhere. The restaurants and nearby shopping are top-notch.

Such a lovely place to stay, looking right out on Piazza Dante. The hosts are very welcoming and provided a map of Naples with tips on what to visit and how to get there. Lots of options for breakfast with fresh coffee and juice. Very stylish and comfortable room with a large bathroom. Its very easy to walk to the main sights of Naples, and loads of lovely restaurants and bars in the area. Yes, it can be noisy at night, just like any large city- but we felt quite safe around the area and enjoyed watching the Piazza from our window at night. Would highly recommend.

Perfectly located and newly refurbished property in the heart of Naples, with a few downsides. The staff were very welcoming and courteous, but failed to inform us of a Eur15 charge for late check-in (we arrived at 23:30). We found out about the charge only at the point of payment at check-out.
Secondly, the room was neat and well-kept, but had a couple of snags; it was very hot and humid, despite the weather being somehow cooler and drier, and had very flimsy doors, which meant that both nights of our stay we were woken up at 7:30 by clanging of cutlery and crockery from the adjacent breakfast room. Speaking of breakfast, it was good but choices were rather limited.
Overall a good stay, but some things can definitely be improved.

Nice little place spoilt by the noisey restaurant.

There was no street level signage to guide us to the way to the hotel however a waiter helped us. It was off putting at times as groups of young people seemed to congregate in the area but didn’t bother us. Our room also was above a restaurant and the room smelled of pizza, it was very noisy and as the air con did not work, the room was too hot. We could only open the window daytime for air as night was too noisy from the restaurant underneath.
We did have the place to ourselves too once the other 2 guests left so it was quiet on that front. Another downside was there was no staff on site apart from breakfast on one of our mornings, check in and check out. On morning 2 we were given a voucher for the restaurant under the hotel but this was for orange juice/ coffee or a pastry only.
The room design was lovely and very spacious. Superb location to Dante Metro which took us straight to Napoli Centrale so very convenient.

The location is great to the old city of Naples. Near restaurants and sites and transportation. There are many stairs to get up to your room and must have numerous keys to get through different doors. It is bed and breakfast and not a hotel. If those things don't bother you than the location and room was great.

Foro Carolino is an outstanding place to stay. It has huge spacious and well furnished rooms which seem like a palace compared to other places to stay. It is very clean and well kept. While it’s not in a location with big signs, the staff makes sure you have a smooth check-in experience by contacting you before hand and giving you detailed instructions. Check-in was a breeze for us. The bed and pillows in the room were very comfortable and there was no street noise. In addition to soundproof windows, they have wooden inner-shutters which you can easily close which blocks out light and sound. We did not get a chance to sample their breakfast since we left every morning of our stay before breakfast.

Now as far as downsides, there is no elevator so you have one floor of stairs to deal with. Additionally there is a children’s ballet school on the floor above. So during daytime hours, there can be sounds from the school. Since the sounds of the ballet school was during daytime hours, we were not bothered. During sleeping hours, the room was virtually silent.

If we ever venture back to Naples, we’ll stay at Foro Carolino.

Comfortable, Beautiful but some things to note...

It was a great stay, there were only two things to be aware of . The hotel itself is very difficult to find, if there was a picture of the outside of the building it would've made it a lot easier to find. Also, if you plan on traveling during the fall/early winter, it's about 50-60 degrees outside and there was no AC so we had to keep the windows open and got attacked by mosquitos.

Wonderful stay. Wonderful host.

Very nice room. Very friendly host and staff. Very helpful staff. The breakfast was very nice. If you don't mind the music and noise outside up until 2 am this would work very well for you. It was difficult to find and the signage outside the location and in the hallways is poor. There is no elevator so be prepared to carry your bags up a long stairway. An armoire to put some clothes away with also be very nice. Make sure you advise the hostess of your arrival beforehand so she can unlock the front door for you. Location-wise it is very close to the old city. The subway is right outside the door. We think that we may have been better off staying closer to the harbour where there are more restaurants and better shopping.

Hotel stay was ok, if unremarkable and perhaps expensive for what it is. Our issue began after check out—we left behind a bag (wholly my own fault), and attempted to arrange its return. I offered to pay for both the cost and the trouble of sending it onward. However the hotel simply stopped responding to my messages. Fearing the item totally lost, I contacted my credit card company to try to make a travel insurance claim. When they reached out to the hotel, the hotel said they had the item, invalidating the claim. However they still don’t respond to my messages. Frustrating communication all around.
