Traffic is absolutely horrendous. We booked this on the road and on line it listed when their front desk was opened. It stated to call directly to make arrangements outside of those hours. We arrived in those hours on a motorcycle and were concerned to leave it even for check in due to safety. The street sign on the front of the hotel was scary and it looked like a dump. We had a hard time getting into the whole building as we had to walk to a side street entrance and it’s part of what looks to be a gated apartment complex and we couldn’t get in. When someone came out we went in and to the floor of the hotel and nobody was there. We called the number 3 times and they hung up on us all 3 times. Since it was getting dark and we were in a bike in rediculous traffic we found another hotel southwest. When we arrived I had a WHATS APP message from the hotel. We tried to get them to not bill us since THEY weren’t there based on their listed times and even after going through Orbits yo contact them yo dispute they refused. We are not happy about it but we felt safer NOT staying in the city and just taking a bus to your Pompei.

A place to sleep and wash

Poor facilities, dated and tatty, beds not very comfortable. One member of staff very nice the rest indifferent. Was told repeatedly there was no wifi despite it being advertised, then given the password the day before we left. Got locked out on our last night as the man on the front desk went to sleep and left a key in the door on the inside. Had to disturb neighbours to get a number and when he finally appeared after 45 mins of ringing the bell he didn't even apologise. You get what you pay for, we picked this for twin beds and a location near to the people we were visiting.

Central location

Not to far from train station. Next to the activity in town. Some steps to carry your bags up. Rock hard beds and pillows. Tricky to find.

Great hotel for Insomniacs

If you're a fan of not sleeping, then Piccolo Sogno is the place for you. Relax on a concrete slab mattress with boulders for pillows. Tile floors, loud staff make for an early morning racquet. This is a budget hotel that has no redeeming features, unpleasant and to be avoided.

For Pompei it's okay.

The best and worst thing about this hotel is the location. On the positive side is it is a block from the central square, only a five minute walk to the train staion and only a five minute walk to the Pompei Ruins. The negative aspect of the location is that it is in an apartment complex which is a bit tricky to find as it is tucked around a corner in an alleyway. And you have to find the correct buzzer to be let in. Water pressure was on\off. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. But I felt the hotel was not used to dealing with international clients and thier expectations havering stayed at other European hotels.

Good option for exploring Pompeii

The staff/owners were wonderfully helpful. They really bent over backwards for us. The room was attractive and clean, but the air conditioning was a bit weak (seems to be that way all over Italy) and the beds and pillows were hard. If you don't have a problem with a very firm mattress, then this place is fine. The location is great for walking to the ruins and to the train stations.

Short walk to ruins, Very friendly staff

We made our reservation as a result of a last minute change in plans. The hotel is a little tricky to find - like many of these inexpensive B&Bs, it's upstairs in a commercial building. The room was clean, comforatable and a good size for Europe. The staff very friendly. Breakfast was usual fare - nothing special, but good. It's about a 6 block walk to the ruins (collesium entrance), and 3 or 4 blocks in the other direction to the train station. If you want to spend your money on stuff and doing things rather than a fancy room, this is a great place to stay.

Very basic but decent value and a good location

This was a basic hotel, which is exactly what we'd been expecting, and I can't say it stood out particularly in any way, but it was comfortable enough.
The staff were friendly and helpful - it's a small, family-run place.
The breakfast was very basic and in a small room, where it felt a little awkward eating as it felt the guy serving was waiting for us to finish, although he was very friendly, despite our language barrier.
The location of the hotel is pretty good - easy walking distance to the ruins - and there is a restaurant down the road where we got a discount because of where we stayed. Would definitely recommend the restaurant for friendliness and good value (I think it was called, quite simply, 'Pizza and Pasta').
Parking was a bit awkward, given that they say it's available, but they will make a space available for you on the street if you need it.
All in all, a nice enough basic hotel.

Pleasantly surprised

very clean, comfortable room. new furniture. AC was very quiet and cold. we had a little balcony to the street, perfect to have a bottle of wine and watch italian street life to go by.

Hôtel très correct, bon prix, central

Très bon séjour, dans un hôtel simple mais propre et une équipe charmante.
Très bien placé pour la visite des ruines de Pompéi, la basilique pontificale toute proche et les gares pour Naples ou Sorrento.
Très bon souvenir
