Pinto-Storey Hotel

Not really a hotel but rather an apartment in a period building that has been partitioned into separate rooms and repurposed as a hotel as a nice little earner for the proprietor. So what does this equate to? Well the rooms look vintage and quaint in the pictures but the walls are paper thin, the beds are the cheapest collapsed sprint mattress kind,’there is no proper bedding and and pillows only sheets, a thin blanket and scatter cushions so not sure how often these are cleaned. the shower will leak water into the room and the toilet plumbing is suspect at best requiring several additional presses to stop the flush cycle. There is only one visible power socket and ah yes…the lack of a proper 24hr reception meant I had to sleep outside on the floor on my first night. Is it clear in the terms and conditions that check-in closes at 11pm? Yes. Did I arrive an hour later and despite pleading with the owner did he make no attempt to help me despite messaging him in advance that I would be late to check in? Also yes.

Great location Spacious clean room, great location convenient for everything. The room is advertised as having air conditioning, but in the beginning of May we were told it’s too early to turn it on. Indeed the weather was pleasant enough, but the street is too noisy to sleep with an open window, it’s impossible. You have nice quality windows to stop the noise, you must allow aircon so people can make use of them. Would be 10 out of 10 otherwise.

We love this gorgeous hotel! The location is so convenient, with metro and funicular so close. There is also a taxi stand that I never saw empty. A bank ATM is right there too. The view from the room up to Vomero is stunning. Having cappuccino brought to us was much appreciated, even though a fantastic cafe is very close too. The rooms are beautifully maintained and the wood shutters kept out light and noise in the early morning. If you have big suitcases you might have to take the little elevator one guest at a time. The host is very helpful. I’d totally stay there again.
