Accommodations
Unlike many hotels in Italy that often feel crammed, Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo offers spacious rooms. I found the room to have everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including a full-length mirror.
The room did not have a balcony but did offer great city views of Naples. The room felt well-maintained and very clean. The bathroom area felt small, though on par with other European hotels I’ve stayed in.
SheBuysTravel Tip: The elevator does not go to the top floor of this hotel. Take the elevator to the 10th floor, then take the stairs to the 11th floor.

Dining
The city of Naples has some of the best food in all of Italy. After a long day exploring the Amalfi Coast, I loved dining at Roof Garden Terrazza Angió. This restaurant offered an elegant dining atmosphere and exceptional service.
Most importantly, the food and cocktails here set the tone for an elegant, romantic evening. My favorite part of the meal was the Aperitivo, though I thoroughly enjoyed every course. The breakfast buffet, which takes place in the same location, also felt upscale compared to a typical hotel breakfast.
Amenities
For couples looking to relax and take in the views, the Solarium at Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo sets it apart. The rooftop pool and hot tub were enjoyable and well-maintained. From this area, guests can enjoy a 360-degree view of the bay and Mount Vesuvius.
I also appreciate the updated McFit fitness centre, one of the largest hotel gyms I’ve seen. The staff at the front desk also set the tone for a great trip, providing assistance with exchange rates and calling for airport transportation.
What’s Nearby
I loved the centralized location of Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo, making it easy to get to local attractions. Plenty of local cafes and restaurants line the same street, perfect for an aperitivo. Several metro stations and the main train station in Naples, Napoli Centrale, are also located within walking distance (ideal if you plan to take a day trip to Rome)
From this hotel, you can walk to:
- Galleria Umberto
- The popular Quartieri Spagnoli area
- Dozens of bars and restaurants
Safety Features
My stay at Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo felt quite safe, with hotel staff available in the lobby to navigate. Hotel staff spoke English, making it easier to call transportation (as many Taxi drivers only speak Italian). The hotel room also included a safe to store valuables when leaving the hotel room for the day. Luggage assistance also made transporting my checked bag much easier.
Getting There/Parking
From Naples International Airport (NAP), it’s easiest to take a taxi to arrive at Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo (about 20 minutes). Those with a car can take advantage of complimentary valet parking on-site. Parking costs €5.00 per hour and €35.00 per day. However, I recommend taking a taxi, as driving in Naples seemed quite chaotic.
